Vote out the incumbents...every one of them! We HAVE to get these Reps of ours actually representing US instead of all these corps and special interest groups bribing these guys! Lobbyists beware! You guys are the next thing to get rid of! I think if we get rid of the lobbyists that keep throwing millions at our reps, we might actually get some representation, because right now, I don't feel like ANYONE is representing me, and haven't for many years now...They are repping the drug co.s, the oil corps. and every other biz, but not me...gotta get all the money out of campaigning also....each person running gets 100 grand and that's it...we should not be electing the ones that raise the most cash for a campaign, cuz it shouldn't be about the money! That's all it's about now...get elected, ok... " Now who has the most money to give me, so I can represent that entity" These guys are supposed to represent PEOPLE!!! Not corporations! Thank you for reading...DAM!, now I gotta go get baked again....TANK steps down off the soap box....
take a deep breath my love...Quote:

TANKS dear! xx I'm better now that I vented a little bit...I'm so glad he got to play 18 and fill out his March madness brackets....no problems with prioritizing there! If I thought building a wall would help keep the madness away, there'd be a 20 footer around me! LOL! Naw, I like my view of the river...maybe a glass wall???
Welcome to the official meltdown thread. In this thread, things melt...down. Not up mind you, and it doesn't retain its shape or mass, sure as hell doesn't appear to be the same thing after, because, it melts DOWN! :stoned:
It's just so painfully obvious how incompetent and Unreliable Obama, Clinton. Holder, and all the rest of the amateurs are on a world level. Seriously, this whole crews a joke now.
I see support the glorious Obamacare has it 62% in favor of repeal now.......WATERLOO. Hilarious..... absolutely hilarious. Well we passed it, had time to read it mrs FORMER speaker and it still SUCKS!
Hope Obama and family have an awsome time on vacation in RIO this weekend.....clown.
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?
Hey Red what strain is it you got. I definately want some of what you been smoking.
I am confused. :)Quote:

The interesting thing is how fast our system of checks and balances stepped in to stop the Obama train before it really caused some catastrophic damage. Now, because of the quick about face by the electorate, we have a rolling back of policies and gridlock in the congress. This is how the system was designed to work and it is amazing how clearly the founding fathers saw the danger of a one party rule and how to protect us from the resulting socialism if it occurred.
The next election should get the system working again and like it or not, we will most likely head into another decade long Republican party run in retaliation to this one term failed President. The GOP is already in control of the purse strings, and they are going after the real problems as they see them, the liberal press headed by its national arm, NPR/APR and stopping the out of control spending spree initiated by a congress set free of checks and balances for a short period of time.
I can't even listen to Mr. Obama speak any more. I find myself yelling at the tv or the radio, in a fury watching the President... the most powerful man on the planet, pandering to special interest and posing for the cameras. He does this almost daily as he gives more speeches than any other sitting president ever thought about giving... all the time, saying nothing important... having no plan.
It will be over soon. I still have hope that we can fix this. Yes we can!
Emmie
and you of course mean ex-most powerful. America aint wut it used to be..:thumbsup: Or should I say everyone starting to see America for what it is..Quote:

I feel there's a revolution coming...I hope it's peaceful and takes place in the Capital building with some reps that actually rep, but I think the general public has seen that some change (his big catch all word!) is not always for the better...hopefully this will force those that DO want to get re-elected to pay attention to the people and not just the billion dollar corporations...yep, Redlocks...we ain't what we used to be right now, but watch out! We dam sure can be again if the voters will stop being so apathetic! I think this age of the Net and smartphones will make a difference...I have an app on my phone that has every US rep, email addy, and office address, and let's me watch each bill and see instantly how each voted...I can fire off an email in to any one of them, or all of them, in a matter of seconds now! I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one doing this...I used to be pro-overgrow the world with this weed, and still am, but now I'm pro-overwhelm the idiots with common sense emails...LOL! BTW, I am descended from Thomas Paine, one of the original rebels, who penned "Common Sense" a few hundred years ago...Just stand back at a safe distance and watch me work!
I'm down with some revolution, but more of the maumau flavor of revolution than what you're lookin for ;) Chances are there is going to be a "revolution" of sorts within the capital building, but I have zero faith it will bring about anything resembling positive change.
As far as the people of this country, they are too weak and cowardly to ever give up the comfort of Burger King and Real Housewives of Die Already. Revolution requires sacrifice, and Americans rather take than give. That last comment goes for the bipartisan shytstem also. The petty squabbling and division of the American Government only proves how selfish and ignorant politicians are. Answer me this, how the fuck is good going to come out of hate? Might have worked in the past with our founding knuckle dragging fathers; with all the Murder, robbery, rape, death, war and destruction this country was made "great" by, but these are far, far different times.
This must be such a tear jerker for Obama considering his pastor of 20 YEARS is cozy with the Ghaddafi family. Poor Rev Wrights chickens have come hooooome......to roost. Lol.
And where are all the anti-war protests? The astroturfers and paid unions spend all their 'change' in Madison?:pimp:
And if your gonna protest the capital, leave the ignorant Hitler and Nazi signs at home, it clearly does not help your cause.
Perfect example. Rather suckle from the teet of a woman and post complete gibberish on the internet than actually do something with their lives. When will some people learn, their opinions don't matter because they don't matter. Completely and utterly inconsequential. Seems the loudest voices are the ones with the least to offer, have to applaud some people for their consistent idiocy though.
Dang Redlocks... discuss the topic at hand... not the people doing the discussing. A personal attack has no place in a political discussion. :(Quote:

That one went right past my poor feeble female brain.
Disgusted Emmie
LOL, obviously we have different definitions of discussing.
Real Housewives of Die Already... A reflection on how I feel about the particular demographic portrayed and entertained by such forms of entertainment.
Revolutions should bring about a change, doubt that electing more of he same will change anything.
There is an off switch on that tv box you know... don't let it give you a stroke.
So, I get it that you are angry. So are a lot of other people... on both sides of this issue. What it takes to resolve something like this is for cool heads to get together and discuss and work out differences. Displays of emotion, insults... none of this helps. So, back to the issue at the top of this thread... Obama's popularity is melting down... it can't be denied... the numbers don't lie. So what can the Dems do to fix this? Is it the end of the party as some claim, or is there something we are missing here? Can all this somehow be blamed on Bush or Fox News in order to buck up popular support?
As the great Tip O'Neil said, "All politics are local." It's all about the economy. People vote with this in mind. If the President can't fix it in the next 2 years, he loses his job... just like the CEO of a company who can not turn a profit. So get angry if you want, but please direct it at the right people... those who are mis-managing the finances of this country. And again, back to the point of the thread, and a very interesting choice of words I might add in light of current events, yes, Obama's popularity is certainly melting down.
And really, if you truly feel that all politicians are the same and that no matter who we elect, it all is going to be the same, I really feel sorry for you. Have you never had a friend or a relative who ran for office because they wanted to make a difference? Do you flat out reject that people like that can and do exist? Yes, we can see many things that show us that government tends to be corrupt, but upon analysis it turns out that the mistakes made can be traced to a few powerful people. People who used their time in the limelight to bolster their own positions and bank accounts. Now we see the other effect that comes from such abuses of power, the repercussions of the ballot box. It is coming. The result won't be perfect, it never is. But it will be different, adjustments will be made and the system will survive.

Just wanted to make a courtesy post for those not privy to the current state of my sanity and the current stalled state of the discussion between Emmie and myself. I was just throwing shit around with no rhyme nor reason, no discussion involved. Emmie and myself may pick up on the discussion in a minute, but right now just trying to get my head straight. Just don't want anyone looking at me like I am incapable of responding to discussion like some simpleton who just spams the political forums without actually participating in something that even loosely resembles discussion or debate.
But hell, I did promise meltdowns didn't I? :D
