Elected officials, from school boards to the top of the national political food chain, don't listen to anyone. Does anyone think Pelosi or Mitch gives a rat's behind about their voters? Us little guys are dooking it out everyday, like its a matter of life and death, and these political worms are laughing at us all. The Rs had all kinds of opportunities the close the border and they did nothing. They did nothing because that's the way they and the Ds want it. Now, the Rs are snuggly buggly with the war movement and the Ds, making sure the weapon contractors, and they themselves, get theirs. As I have zero faith in the Catholic hierarchy, I feel the same about the political class.
