Painful, Yet True
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book describes the how and why of American politics. It's often not pretty, but it is none the less true. It not only explains the nuts-and-bolts of the American political process, but the reasons for it.If you've been confused by the way our government works, hang on! You're about to go on the roller coaster ride of a lifetime...Or maybe it's a Merry-Go-Round. Finally, your eyes will be opened. The conservatives are not the monsters you were led to believe they were. The liberals are not the do-gooders you thought they were.Be warned, read this and you will no longer be able to hide your head in the sand.
