The Swamp


            Is it any surprise that American voters are disgusted with both political parties? Washington is truly a swamp.

            Look at what is dominating the news these days. Republicans, one after the other, are disowning a holier-than-thou Senate candidate who is facing credible accusations of sexually molesting teenagers. Many other sitting senators and representatives have chosen to retire rather than face a furious electorate that sees Republicans as incapable of passing any meaningful legislation.

            On the other side of the aisle, Democrats are grimacing at their lowest popularity ratings ever, as facts emerge about their party paying for and distributing a pre-election dossier packed with lies about a tawdry Trump escapade in Moscow. Worse, party darlings Bill and Hillary Clinton are being investigated for their role in the scandal that gave Russia control of 20% of our country’s uranium, a deal that got the stamp of approval from then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, while millions were flowing into the Clinton Foundation. Even Special Counsel Robert Mueller, FBI Director at the time, may be implicated for turning a blind eye to what was going on.

            Can a swamp so full of liars, crooks, and incompetents ever be drained?
