    Romney's Top Donor Teams with Soros Front Group on Immigration Reform


    Is it a two party system? Or is it a 2 sides of the same coin system? When it comes to the top, which is the money, there is only one. We only get to choose whom 'they' decide we get to vote for. Lesser of two evils? Hah.

    When both sides come together, believe me, we the people can't win.

    Amnesty and increased immigration = lower wages/payrolls = a smaller check (If your lucky enough to have one).

    We (the current citizens of this country), just get pushed aside and marginalized.

    I'm getting soo tired of this kind of crap. What are we going to do? As that great anti-gunner Jim What's his name in the movie Liar Liar said when picking up his car and asked about it: "I'll Just bend over and take it up the tail-pipe".

    The GOP has been moving left for sometime backing people like McCain, Romney, Christie, Jeb Bush will be next I expect, disaster for America but your correct the two parties have melted into one, radicals, communist, socialist, and Brotherhood loving RINO's.

    I've voted Libertarian since 2004.
    If someone really takes a moment to look at the libertarian party they would quickly realize why they never get much support in the voting booth. We fight battles in foreign lands so we DON'T have to fight them here at home. Libertarians would bring war in the states with their bring home the troops policy.

    I'm not under any illusions that the Libertarians will win anything anytime soon and my motivations for voting for them extend beyond the platform they promote.

    I'm kind of struggling to understand how a non-interventionalist and neutral foreign policy would bring war to the states but okay.

    Look at countries who have multiple political parties and see how well they do, especially if they have to form coalitions to achieve a majority. It's no better...

    Isolationism did not not serve us well in either world war, and in a sense it did lead to the attack on Pearl Harbor so the argument is valid based on historical precedence.

    As a superpower the US cannot bury our heads in the sand over international events and issues.

    Yeah because a bunch of Iraqis attacked us right? Or how about the large number of afghans that have committed terrorism on american soil. In case you weren't paying attention, we gave him the weapons we were bitching about him having.

    You want peace you pack up our bases, bring everyone home, get a president that actually has a spine to say "you hit us we annihilate country" No UN brokered deals, no treaties, no BS. Just absolutely level anyone stupid enough to attack, no clean up, no rebuilding, no ass kissing, no sweetheart deals with the our new puppet government, just some good ol' fashion whole sale carpet bombing of anything that moves in your country, civilian military or militia, kill 'em all.

    See how long places like Saudi Arabi keep backing their backwater training camps when they know they'll be blasted back to the stone age.

    Nor can we afford to be the world's police force, certainly as we grow in population importing poor under educated people while exporting manufacturing jobs to China and other countries we no longer have the ability to be a "super power", the term isolationism is thrown around by every one world politician in DC, no one can be isolated in this world but we should have common sense take care of our country first build a super defense then if attacked use a scorched earth policy. How it did America any good to remain in Iraq for years escapes me,building Ferris wheels wasting money in the billions and yet they still kill each other. Any country just like individuals best pick there fights otherwise in time you get whipped.

    Exactly, I'd wager to bet it would only take once for the rest of the workd to get the message. Think of the money that would be saved by no longer playing world police and taking care of our own.

    Not that I agree with a complete isolationist mantra, Sweden has done pretty well staying out of everyones business.

    Yep... there's no reason to put boots to soil unless they have something we want. We have the technology to break an enemy and keep them broken for as long as we choose without even leaving our desks. ICBMs and satellites are expensive, but they are a heck of a lot cheaper than some drawn out land war.

    not sure how i overlooked this, you are a fool if you think we "isolationists" or "neutral" in either war prior to entering it. We stuck are nose in it then got pissed when we were bit.

    I wouldn't suggest total isolationism but a more reduced interference with the problems of other countries. Neither party in Washington is worth a damn and there really isn't that much of a difference between them any more. They both look to screw over the other one when they're in the majority. They both look to push their "pet" projects, whether or not they're really worth a damn or not (Obastardcare anyone?). We should stop supporting other countries with billions of dollars of aid every year. Take care of THIS country first and worry about the rest of the world later. We do not have to be the world's policeman OR bankroll. Take care of OUR hungry and poor first.....
