>The current politicians are pawns. They are controlled by the special interests. Those are the folks that are trying to do the evil things you suggest... to enhance their bottom line. And while you do have the Neo ideological element, they really don't have any support among the average voter.

You sure? I've been meeting plenty of people, politicians and not, who believe in all of those bad things.

Conservatism is a human frame of mind. So is liberalism. Hell, so is "I'm a better person than everyone else because I'm staying above the fray" centrism.

It's not just about "special interests," though they certainly provide the fuel here.
