yup
the best scam they've pulled is that they've managed to split the population into 2 "opposite" groups so it doesn't matter who's in power - the same people benefit ...0 -
Yep. I checked out a long time ago. I have no faith that any of those scumbag politicians will ever do anything productive.The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.0 -
We have all been divided and conquered by our own foolishness. One can only hope we can rise above this two-party system and vote for someone who truly represents THE PEOPLE.0

wasn't Washington against having political parties because he thought it created too much division?don't compete; coexist
what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?
"I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama
when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'0 -
I believe so. All we've done is create a "McDonald's vs. Pizza Hut" situation. Screw that. I'm going to think outside the box. I want steak. I refuse to give in to this shit anymore. I'm so sick of this constant barrage of "leftwing loony", "repuke", etc. childish insult trading too. If we can't start working together, compromising along the way as needed, we're fucked.Pepe Silvia wrote:dickeye wrote:We have all been divided and conquered by our own foolishness.

The thing is, society in America runs on competition. We all have to compete against somethingdon't we? Classmates, colleagues, sports, of course politics...everything, if you really think about it, is about competition. BUSINESS wouldn't be business as we know it, if it weren't for competition. So the day that we can all get past the idea that we have compete to live, is the day that unity will happen. The problem is, politicians are more about competition and not at all it seems, about actually representing the people. Take money and "who you know" out of the equation and we've got to wonder how some of them got in the position they're in at all.Pepe Silvia wrote:dickeye wrote:We have all been divided and conquered by our own foolishness.

which people? America is so diverse. There is no one who could possibly represent all of the people. Not even MOST of the people."When all your friends and sedatives mean well but make it worse... better find yourself a place to level out."0 -
of all the sides and all the debates and all the politicking, at the end of the day there is only 1 truth.
there is reality and there is everything else.0 -

We have to settle for the majority. You just can't please all the people, all the time. I know that. But that also goes right back to what I said about compromise.0 -

Describe for me the desires of the MAJORITY. There is no majority."When all your friends and sedatives mean well but make it worse... better find yourself a place to level out."0 -
no matter who wins, the government always gets in.
The biggest fraud is the idea that somehow the 2 camps are different. that those with D's next to their name, are different from those with R's next to their names.
Throughout history, the basic platform and ideology has never been questioned or challenged. The idea that america has a right to imperialism, and globalization, and expansion, and that all the resources of the earth are to be unearthed and used until that resource is completely gone and extinct. This is a way of thinking that every single president has shared since the birth of the nation.
Thats why I think politics is a complete lie. Its a joke. It seems pointless to vote these idiots in year after year, hoping, praying, maybe, please maybe, they might change things.
The definition of insanity is to continue doing something again and again, even when you know the outcome will be no different. Voting in politicians, when we know, that last election, last year, last decade, the last president didnt do squat to help us.
It is clear to me that every politician is the same. That universally the rule is that you essentially have to sell your soul to be a politician.
For me, Bush is and was evil. But I never understood those people who thought if only we could get a dem in office things would be better. Obama's actions have proven me 100 percent right. Obama is as clueless as Bush ever was. We are in the middle of 2 wars, that just like Bush, Obama thinks are winnable. And we are in a Depression economy. Obama has done precious little to combat global warming.
Meet the new boss same as the old boss
five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains, and I wonder still, I wonder, who will stop the rain.
To keep you in the dark, they all pretend.0 -
I feel bad for those suckered into the whole "Obama will change things" nonsense. Its been 9 months or whatever. When is he gonna end the damn wars?0

I know most people here hate the Tea Party movement but the whole point of the Tea Party is to vote in new blood.....and vote out those that that play the political game......it doesn't matter if its right or left....we just want new people in office that don't have favors to dole out....“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” Abraham Lincoln0 -

good luck with that. good luck with finding new blood that will not be corrupted by money and power. i thought the tea party movement was about lowering taxes? isn't it Taxed Enough Already?"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
