I've been on record several times as wanting to see both parties emasculated if not outright abolished.
When a state party chairman (D) can subvert the will of the people by having a primary overturned because the winning candidate doesn't, in their opinion, reflect party ideals or a party chairman (R) can eject a sitting representative from the party for voting for his constituents instead of how he is told to vote, there is a HUGE problem.
Here, here!
Yup, it's all about "politics" and not *listening* to The People!
I don't like either party as well. In presidential elections I always vote for a third party.
I can't see the dems or repubs as being in tune to helping the U.S. like we elected them to do. Too many "special interests. With the repubs it was Haliburton and a few others. With Oblunder it's General Electric and Solyndra.
We need to take the money out of politics,publicly fund them. "Here's $3 million to run for president, give it your best shot and make it last, that's all you're allowed to spend. One million for senators and congressmen. What could be more fair than that? THEN we'd get more third party candidates running for political office!
Oblunder's trying to raise "$1 billion dollars" for his campaign! Where's *that* money coming from? Certainly not from the "little people who chipped in $10 or $15" like last time! There's nowhere near enough "little people" for that! And I just can't see the "little people" charging that donation on their E.B.T. cards; "Ok we can do that but you'll either have to put back the 6 bottles of Thunderbird wine or 2 boxes of depends undergarments." Besides that, what's he done for the "little people" in the last almost 3 years in office? Not much if anything.
I don't think $5 billion would help him.
I want to see both the dems and repubs go out of business but the dems first because they're the most disgusting, wishy-washy, and pathetic.
Whenever I see them campaign I keep thinking of those songs, "Michael row the boat ashore" or "This land is your land, this land is my land."
I'm an Independent. We don't have to "tote that bail" for anyone!
Socially I'm in favor of legalizing pot, gay marriage, a woman's right to choose, (especially in third world countries) and a lot of other things that some people would call "liberal" but I just call common sense.
And "less govt." is ALWAYS a good thing! How can you be "free" walking around with an EBT card and a Medicare card in your wallet? (you're "beholden" so don't piss them off!)
As for the republicans someone needs to tell them that we have a "separation of big business and state" in this country. Big business or any business should be outlawed from getting involved in politics. That's where most of the problems lie! Next thing you know after some very generous political donations all of a sudden "certain corporations" are no longer paying any taxes.
We should be passing legislation for the good of The People not big business! "Government and big business partnering together....." is NEVER a good thing for the people! It's like them saying; "we're coming for your money!" "Ha, Ha!!!"
Can you imagine the parties they have after signing a "contract" for a couple of billion?
We need to make some down to the bone cuts in the federal government.
"...milk and honey on the other side....."
