Politicians are amazing. Over in humor is a post azbout stupid govt officials, I mean senators, congressmen, their aides. One thought they could take a train to Hawaii. Another thought they didn't need a visa to go to China because "last time they took american express".
You hand people 400 page bills they have to vote on, and they think they can take a train to Hawaii. Is this person qualified to make important decisions that affect everyone ? They have handlers and advisors and speechwriters. They also have a clamp on their balls due to party affiliation.
I have found religious people to be among the least intelligent of those I know in real life. I hung up on my boss four times as he was trying to convince me that Bush was carrying out the will of God. All of his information came from the media or the pulpit. I think the guy would've had a heart attack if I gave him an AFP.
Logically, We The People are not getting the representation We need. We may speak at the polls, but our vocabulary is severely limited. Why is this ? Well there are two reasons. Well maybe three once I get started.
1. Most voters do not have alternate and/or foreign news sources.
2. These political parties pick the candidates for us.
3. The political party bosses are in cahootz with big business as well as the media.
The proof is in commonly known facts, if the general public could think it out. These three points are pretty much undisputable.
As for #1, why didn't the media cover the bombing of Al Jazeera or the use of depleted uranium weapons ?
As for #2, OK we have primaries, but who is it who decides which potential candidate get money ? Political parties are not government entities. They are private. Figure out what their motives might be.
As for #3, being in cahootz with the media, the party bosses have a very effective weapon against those politician who do not follow the rules (their rules) and all of them have skeletons in the closet. Why don't we hear about the trails of dead bodies, illicit affairs and corruption they have inflicted on previous supposed constituents, BEFORE the election.
I have read that in some places in the world, if voter turnout was as low as it is in the US, they would not consider the election valid. Bush said "I do not testify, I'll sit down with them...". That means he believes that We do not deserve answers.
I sure hope the denocrats don't run Hillary in 08. The election might get cancelled because absolutely nobody voted. All the Women I know would never vote for her.
Y'know she opened her mouth on all kinds of shit, but when her Husband was caught cheating on her she was strangely silent. While I disagree with her main platform and ideas, especially on universal health care, that is not the main thing. I think we should've seen an actual Presidential divorce while in office.
What this says is that she really doesn't have family values, or is whacked out in the mind.
Now you may point out to me that this is an alternative lifestyle group, but I retort here and now that a marriage is a promise, an oath. Women, would YOU put up with your Husband getting blow jobs at work ?
If Hillary would've responded that they had an agreement because she refused to give head, something like that, I could understand. I could respect that. Universal health care ? I'll just cheat on taxes. Thing is, I don't like the Mommy policies of the liberals nor the autoritarian policies of the so called conservatives. Neither rone of them even comes close to representing me or American values.
So how does Blair get in, same way Bush does, money and powerful friends.
What do we do now ?
