Yeah, politics has gotten to the point where you don't vote for the best person for the job, you vote for the person who will fuck things up least.
Gotten to that point? Methinks it has been viewed that way for a long time.

As opposed to the crying conservative pussies?

Whaaa!  The liberals are Godless heathens that want to take God out of everything; doesn't matter that it wasn't there originally.

Whaaa!  The liberals won't give me huge tax breaks, and actually expect me to pay taxes; free Leona Helmsley!

Whaaa!  The liberals won't pick a fight with some 3rd rate, 2-bit dictator to show how tough and mighty we are!

If the Republicans/Bush Administration think they can get away with anything now due to the US being at "war," what will happen if a Democrat gets elected in 2008?  Will they all back down and say, "Oh, no no no, we were wrong, we weren't supposed to do all of that as it was illegal at the time...so it looks like you Democrats can't do the same!"  Does anyone feel like there is something more sinister going on to ensure that Republicans can force another election to come out in favor of them?
The Republicans (and more importantly, the electorate), won't have to say the GOP was wrong all along; because the  Democrats, recognizing that the wiretaps and other tactics of the Bush administration are morally wrong, will voluntarily refrain from using them, even if they are determined to be 'legal.'

And if you believe that, I have a lovely bridge for sale in New York city...

As far as anything sinister...nothing either of the two parties does surprises me much.  Whether it was deliberately allowing US forces to be attacked in the 40's, MASSIVE election fraud in Chicago in the 60's, illegal wiretaps in the 70's, illegal sales of arms in the '80s, the illegal sale of technology to an adversary in exchange for campaign funds in the 90's, or illegal wiretaps again in the 00's.  Both parties are completely crooked.  What you need to get your mind around, Marconius, is that your party is no better than the other one;  so your righteous indignation doesn't really ring true when you throw these conspiricy theories around.

I have the feeling they won't get anything in 2008.

Just my guess but my guesses in US elections have always been spot on.

Yes they hold Hollywood and the media but both have squandered their credibility.

Their whole campaign boils down to Saying " 1. Anyone who disagrees with them is stupid.  2. The sky is falling "

F.D.R. said " All we have to fear, is Fear itself "

They seem to Say " All we have is fear ! "

You will notice that is also their slant in these forums.

I would have thought Fox is right wing is a simpler explanation that everyone else is left wing.  Thanks for the correction, your spelling is correcter than mine

I could do that.  Or I could bring my shitty Russkie (two ss's) whilst everyone's busy looking at nipples, and starting shooting stuff.  Russian parts are so cheap, every time it breaks, I just buy a new one.  Haha.




Besides, your theory doesn't work.  It involves bannage.

Both are true.  Media bias in this country is pervasive, and Fox is as bad as the rest of them...just in the other direction.

Strangely, the least biased news source (as far as broadcast outlets go), in my experience, has been The News Hour on PBS.  It is surprising, because NPR (National Public Radio, which is affiliated with PBS) is HIGHLY biased.

I am not American so I may be way off, but I thought the Patriot act that was passed after 9/11 allows them to do this? If that is the case, then it hardly seems illegal, even if you don't agree with the law.
The Patriot act is unconstitutional, it removes rights to privacy (email is publicly available after 6 months with out a warrant).  It should have never been passed.  With out our rights and freedoms this country (US) does not stand for anything except maybe corruption.   

The only way I see our government changing from the stupid two party system is a revolution and most of Americans still believe that the politicians do what the voters want.  It is the very rich and the cooperations that pull the strings.  Why are there so many foods that are bad for you and the FDA does nothing, because the food and drug industry has the FDA wrapped around there finger.  The rest of the government is the same way.

once again..

Fox is  ( Not left wing )

and almost every other News source is Heavy left.

So if Fox wanted to be ( heavy Right ) it would have my blessing but it wouldn't balance the News that we get.

Next time you have the desire to use the word " Simpler ", substitute the words " Clear cut " and see how your sentence sounds.

I figure every president from now on will have "impeachment" proceedings pushed on them for one reason or another.  The next revolution will be to reinstitute the Constitution of the United States of America.

You know what is a bunch of bullshit is the fact that there was no hesitation for people to try to impeach our former president. For what?!? Getting a knobber in the white house. GMAFB!!!! Bush should have been impeached a long, long time ago. Actually; screw impeachment. THis jerk off should be facing the firing squad in Saddams place.

If the Dems win in 2008, HMMM, Well terrorist attack the US and the Dems want to give them a hug. Our military falls apart. We release all prisoners from terrorist prisons and make them citizens.  Hundreds of thousands are killed around the world by terrorist, Dems say just leave them alone they won't bother us. New York gets nuked along with Washington DC. And the Dems blame Bush.

Here is the simple answer, they are politicians, and i.e. they are all corrupt.  If not, then why will they not have a pay decrease, same retirement package as everyone else in the US and enact term limits, eliminate the kickbacks and eliminate the lobby’s, and eliminate being able to attach pork to bills and such.  One item, one vote. It should be required to print who voted and how each time on the front page of every newspaper then everyone would see how often they are represented. This is for Democrats and Republicans.  There is truly no difference, they are corrupt.  When they are found guilty it should be a set policy across the board.  Death penalty (call it domestic treason) forfeit all assets to the government and that family is banned from public office for three generations.  That would get their attention.  I don’t care what side they are on, they are corrupt!

I must say that simply put that i dont give a fuck.

Honestly, I could vote 8 billion times over for a republican and the state would still go dem. Why? Because of the electoral college and secondly i have no say in any laws the federal government passes. I mean i can vote to regect my own city/state but allowing me to vote in a FEDERAL law would be ludacris.

Also, i refuse to believe that this country could not become a direct democrocy. Look at Africa, they still have direct elections and now you try and tell a country like America can't do that.

Thirdly, niether party is "better" they both equally suck it just depends on your veiw point. For example a black male age 18-21 would typically vote democrat (honestly i can't stand when people say republicans are racist. the Republicans where the original anti-slavery party, i can't help it some of the member are dumbasses)

All i can say in the end is.... Buy a gun by the time this country is through you'll need it.
