I know what you mean Chuck:

Yes, a self-serving band of greedy hate-mongers exploited by a network of corporate thugs have pretty much taken over Washington and mainstream media. Other than a few exceptional individuals, during the past decade our government has been transformed into an organization that better resembles the Russian black market. International commerce is a nice term for legalized smuggling, which pretty much characterizes our economic foreign policy today. The sad consequences of thes changes have squeezed American labor and manufacturing from the picture.

Between the influence of the military industrial complex, the oil corporations, and the health care industrial complex, the power of representation in Washington has dismantled what once was something that resembled a representative democracy.

What we have now is a corporate dictatorship with a Washington DC storefront that has two bathrooms; one for the GOP and the other for the Democrats, where they pee and crap all over the constitution that we had at one time tried to defend and to preserve. Few are willing to recognize the dissolution of our government and its glaring separation from those who are the governed. We the people exist in name only. On election day, those of us who still vote show up to elect those will serve the lobbyists for the next term.
