    There is not a single political party prepared to deliver what this country needs. Both the Republicans and the Democrats are worthless bastards. They both are playing their respective puppets and ultimately we are burning the bridge on both ends. One week it's the bible beating Right, and the next it's the Socialist Left. They are all corrupt and self-serving, regardless of affiliation.

    It's a sad day in American history when the best thing to happen in Washington is handing someone a torch and a red pen.

    All in all, I'd have to agree I guess.

    I know some here will fail to believe me, but I personally think the extremist on both sides need to take a chill pill and let the level headed types (are there any?) take over and show how true bi-partisanship works.

    There are just too many folks beyond our borders that want us to fail, and we all just seem to be feeding the fire to make it happen.

    I planned on running for Congress this year until i realized that i am 3 weeks to young to make the cut off so ill have to wait until 2012. We need to get regular Americans to run for these offices against all these retards that are running unopposed or things will never change.

    December 12, 2000...the day the United States Supreme Court selected a president that did not win the popular vote nor had secured the electoral vote. The nation has paid a high price in dollars and lives for that bit of neocon shenanigans.

    September 11, 2001...the day the United States was attacked and the president did NOTHING. No orders, no comments, no assurances to a scared and angry nation...he just ran away and tried to hide.

    March 19, 2002...president invents an excuse and invades Iraq and sends the United States to war without a declaration of war from the US Congress, in clear violation of the Constitution. No WMDs are found after 4,287 KIA and 30,182 wounded American military personnel.

    September 19, 2008...Bush administration announces bailout plan to confront growing financial crisis. Republican Congress rubber-stamps the administration's demand for new powers to execute a plan that eventually cost taxpayers billions to buy toxic debt and bad mortgages.

    January 22, 2009...Republicans blame Obama and Democrat Congress for their own failures and lack of leadership and begin obstructionist agenda.

    Present time...conservatives blame Obama for everything...

    :banghead:

    OhmyGosh ! Now I know why I have arthritis in my hands, thinning hair on top, and ingrowing toenails, and a wart or two.....BUSH's Fault !!!! Please sind a different tune like it really is the Ayatolla obamabin loudmouth's fault...

    Now, this is something we can agree on! Dems, Libertarian, Rep, Tea Party...all corrupt and self-serving to their rotten cores. The only way to get on top of this and return to a democratic republic is to eliminate the electoral process domination by the two main political parties and force an end to the all-or-none way electoral votes are cast. The electoral votes need to represent the popular vote percentages in the states so that a true independent actually stands a chance of winning.

    In the meantime, La La Land and New Jerk City will elect the president all by themselves.

    Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

    Slept through your high school civics classes, didn't ya...

    Actually he is quite correct. We are supposed to be a federated Republic that elects some of it's representatives, along with the head of government by democratic ideals, and some by the States themselves.

    I can see appropriating the Electoral College proportionately, ( one or two states do that, I believe ) but I certainly do not want the large centers of population determining the course of this country for generations to come.

    :cool:

    The contradiction is only your inability to grasp what you do not understand. You are so myopic that you cannot accept that a Democrat can be a veteran who proudly served his time on watch as well as a piston-packing gun-nut with a fair sized arsenal and a Democrat...It seems that you are incapable of understanding that not all Dems are happy with the current POTUS anymore than they were with the last one. I am not an Obama "lover" or much of a supporter, but I do believe what we have now is 110% better than what we suffered through for 12 years under the GOP reign of terror and do not want to see them back in power.

    MY INABILITY? How on God's earth can you even pretend that ANYTHING in the USA is "110%" better?? Exactly what was that "..GOP reign of terror.."??? I didn't happen to notice stacks of bodies in the streets. Exactly who was terrorized?

    I asked - and once again you couldn't answer - how you could post on a PRO-GUN forum and SUPPORT the very people who want to do away with the 2nd Amendment???

    You CAN'T answer because there IS no logic in your support. I do not understand because there is no reason that a sane person would support those who oppose him.

    I don't support either party - they both suck. (Please note my avatar!) But, despite your protest, you still do. And if you support TODAY'S Democratic party, you are supporting the Marxists who are destroying the USA. And the only reason you can give is because you "hate Bush".

    And I'm myopic? Take off your rose colored glasses and look around at the real world. Look at your President bowing and scraping to foreign leaders. Look at him pushing for the mosque at Ground Zero. Watch as Nancy Pelosi shreds the Constitution and pushes out legislation without Congress even reading it. See Sheila Jackson Lee asking NASA when they are going to retrieve the flag Neil Armstrong planted on MARS! Don't they make you proud? C'mon, a big group hug for the whole bunch!

    There's an old German saying: "To be young and conservative means you have no heart. To be old and liberal means you have no head."

    I am not sure what you mean...or that you understand how the electoral college works. The two parties hold the electoral votes the way it is right now. States like NY, CA, IL and TX carry the most weight. Unless the vote is close, other less populated states' electoral votes don't count for much anymore. Imagine if all the states passed laws directing the electoral college to hold open electoral votes that truly represented the votes cast for each candidate instead of all the votes going for just the one candidate that wins the majority of the popular vote. That would really break the strangle-hold the Dems and Reps have on the presidential election.

    Democratic means "rule of the people" loosely translated, and it is subjugated into a direct democracy which is a majority voting system, and a representative democracy which is most similar to what we have today.

    A Republic is essentially a style of government where the people are a majority or significant power base in the rule of the land. You can have a Socialist Republic, Communist Republic, Democratic Republic, etc. Ultimately it is estranged from the dictation of a supreme power, either via a church oligarchy, royal monarchy, or a dictator of sorts. For example, Cuba is not a Republic.

    I haven't looked into the individual causality of the "all or none" movement in the electoral college, but I can say with absolute resolve that it is rather lacking. It would be a more finite dictation if we allowed individual ballots on behalf of the electorates.

    There's an old German saying: "To be young and conservative means you have no heart. To be old and liberal means you have no head."

    Are you suggesting that only folks who think like you can be pro-gun? Do you think that the Dems are out to take our guns? Are you not aware that just as many Republicans are trying to push that agenda as there are Dems? Are you just totally out of touch or are you just that naive?

    Would you be bitching if it was a Christian center being planned to be built near Ground Zero, or is it just that you are intolerant of other religions? Are you even aware of how far away from Ground Zero this proposed Muslim religious center is? You say you want the government to stop over-regulating and let the people decide, but then you want them to regulate where a religious group can build, and regulate what can and cannot be built on private land, and deny equal rights to those who just don't agree with you.

    It is interesting that you post a German quote, the same nation that brought us the Nazis with their, "our way or else," mentality as you post your, "my way or else," rant. I am not supporting the Marxists ( WTF is that anyway??) anymore than I am supporting the "Fascist" attitude coming from the right today. You talk about secession but what you really want is to regulate thought, regulate dissention, regulate, segregate, keep on regulating until we are all forced march in the line you craft to the drum you beat if we want to exist in your world. Well, guess what, Bubba, this is the United States of America, and that hound dog ain't gonna hunt here as long as there are REAL patriots who understand and accept that we do not all march to the same beat and that is what makes us strong.
