Abook haven't had much free time to pop in here. With moving, going back to school and starting a new job free time is a luxury I no longer have.
Frustration is an understatement. Where I was once frustrated and disillusioned with the competency of our government I have no lost all hope. Why should I support a system that is corrupt and broken. Why should I continue to play along as if what I say makes a difference. Our economy is fucked, our government is fucked and our society is fucked. We as a country are more comfortable and accepting of our government, plunging us deeper into a hole, in order to bail out corporations than we are with our government helping out the less fortunate. The whole think is fucked and no one cares. Our government continues to mortgage away my kids and their kids future in order to maintain a white knuckled grip on hegemony. In all honesty if wasn't for the fact that my kids live in this country I would pack up my shit and go else where. Unfortunetely I am tied down here and forced to watch as my fellow countrymen, once again, elect the same shitty worthless politicians who will continue to destroy everything that was once great about this country all in the name of some distorted sense of patriotism that is truly nationalism. My sense humanity is more important to me that any chunk of land or flag.
I don't understand how people, who seem pretty well aware of the fact that there is no difference basically in the dems and reps, seem to forget all about that come election year and line up to play a game they'll never win. And after the damage is done and they've voted in shit lite, they'll go back to saying how corrupt and worthless the dems are again. Frankly, I don't want to hear it then...say it now when it really means something other than complaining or shut the fuck up.

ok, so I just watched Part 1 of the Libertarian debate. it wasn't even a debate. i mean, the first five were just pathetic, and at times, unintentionally comical. Gravel really stood head and shoulders above them. i'm not familiar with the Libertarian selection process... apparently they've held primaries... but I guess Mike Gravel can still jump in the race this late in the game? i hope the hardcore Libertarian geeks don't sway the vote towards Mr. Root for America or the woman who wants to "destroy" Hillary Clinton. I'm not sure if the Libertarian party is good for Mike Gravel, but Mike Gravel is surely good for the Libertarian party. i mean... wow.
well, on to Parts 2, 3, and however many more I can stand...
There's an uptight snobbery in that Youtube clip that says, "Oh, ordinary people are so excessive and emotional, aren't they? Gut feelings are so laughable, aren't they? Look at those pathetic people, voting en masse for someone like Oprah. Oh, was it Obama? They all look the same when they get excited, don't they? And she's got such embarrassing hair, hasn't she? You wouldn't get that at a SC Etiquette School. At least you could invite that nice Mr Nader, though. He'd use some big words and doze in the chair, and you wouldn't even know he'd been."

perhaps it's more ironical than all that?

I couldn't believe how snobbish a lot of the Obama supporters were at the WA state Democratic caucus. It was a huge turn-off.
Much in the same way Obama treated Nader (in regards to brushing off ANY meeting with him to discuss ideas for the future of our country), they refused to hear anything other than what they had their minds set on.
I was like :cool: :rolleyes: :mad:

i know it! back when there were still like 10 ppl at the democratic primaries i'd see stickers and signs/posters around of all the different candidates...then i noticed a lot of them started getting 'Obama '08!' stickers put all over them by obama supporters...even tho i disagree w/ obama i wouldn't put a kucinich or nader or anyone else's sticker over his
and the epitome of snobbery is how some of them actually tell you their candidate is the only realistic choice, deal w/ it! or say you have an obligation to vote for the dems b/c we're too scared of another 4 years of a republican....however, it is telling that a good portion of them won't ever back up their support or why it's so realistic
