Politics and Religion
No argument from me. Only that parties need to be shown
that we can and are willing to fire them.
As I pointed out, the worst part of McCain is that he has to rely on the same Republican machinery that got us into this mess.
The best practical chance for neutering the largest number of DC politicians for the longest time is to elect Obama. It will take his boys a year or 2 to settle into their rackets, and then after 4 years we can fire them, and get a new set.
You gotta keep them hopping, keep them nervous.
The best thing you can do is vote no on any proposition or referendum, in the high probability that it's some sort of scam; and vote out every incumbent, on the theory that they're dangerous when they settle in.
BUT, I don't want term limits. You have to make them think they *might* be re-elected. You have to keep them guessing.
WHEN is someone.....ANYONE (besides Sean Hannity) in the media going to rub Hillary's nose in her own hypocrisy for wanting to seat the delegates of FL and MI now that she "won" both primaries by default.
Why hasn't ONE moderator in the debates Hillary and Obama have had simply asked her "Would you be calling on the DNC to seat the delegates of FL and MI if you had not won those primaries?" and when she spouts a load of crap about disenfranchised voters follow up with "You supported the decision by the DNC in September, why wait until after the primaries were held to change your mind, and how do you justify the hypocrisy of your change in position?"
Hillary can bawl her eyes out, whine about getting the first question, and piss and moan all she wants about the media's love affair with Obama, but until someone rubs her nose in her bald faced hypocrisy, the media is giving her the biggest and easiest pass of all.
STOP THIS WITCH HUNT!!! Anyone in her shoes would break the rules. It's perfectly acceptable. What we all love about the Clintons is that they're comeback kids and never give up. This vast DNC conspiracy will not defeat them!!

MCCAIN RUNS UNOPPOSED, DEMOCRATS STILL HAVE NO OFFICIAL NOMINEE!!!
I've been saying it for months, the democrats will figure out a way to lose this election. Talk about the gang that couldn't shoot straight. The only thing the dems can shoot at and hit, are each other. rofl
but the Democrats would be smart to take a page from the Republican playbook, ie that there is no fuckup so massive that it can't be blamed on traitors who think you might have done something different. You know, like maybe spend less time listening to the voices in your head.

but the dems aren't smart. How else could the GE ever be in doubt?
The Reps have an unpopular president leading us in an unpopular war with a shaky economy exacerbated by a credit crunch and high inflation fueled by high energy costs and further inflamed by the ethanol boondoggle. In spite of all this, it is not only possible, but extremely likely that a Rep will be elected POTUS.
The dems are so incredibly stupid it boogles the mind. Even drug addled ones.
that we can and are willing to fire them.

I do have to admit that by following your advice a person would probably be right more often than they were wrong.
While I do have to also agree that McCain will have to use the same RNC that we already have, one thing in his favor is that the "Real Republicans" don't like him. My feeling is that anybody that is hated by both the far left and the far right goes up several points in my estimation at least. It doesn't make me a fan of his, but it's something.
what I fault him for is flip-flopping from his Straight Talk, and taking his buttfucking from the religious right like a good boy - and getting in step with the party assholes he used to despise.
What turned me off was his 180 change of position from the fella who had 15% independent ideas, to party hack.
Anybody who can charge thru a bazaar in full body armor, complete with a platoon of Marines and helicopter escort, and say with a straight face that everything is normal, is delusional. Shit, he could have least stopped to buy a rug and apologize for fucking up their business.
So its clear to me that he's not even maintaining the facade of independence - he's going for control of the party machinery.
Now, I don't trust personalities. Shit, nobody can predict the person they're sleeping with for 2 years, let alone 4.
What I'm looking at here is the bureaucracy, which is the most stable thing in the USA today.
And the bureaucracy let us down. They didn't stop GW from going into Iraq, and they didn't put the brakes on the subprime loan mess - shit, the Fed admitted the 2nd, and the 1st is obvious. Not even Colin Powell called BS on the 1st.
So they need to be fired, en masse. If "None of the Above" could be elected and sworn in, that would be my choice - we just abstain from this shit for a term. We could do better with NOBODY up there.
Now you can point out that some of the bureaucracy dates back to Clinton's hiring policies, and even George the Elder, and that is true, but only part of why HRC should not be the choice.
We all know and see that Clinton is much more firmly established in DC than Obama. Obama is not a choice for me, he's just a transitional scourge, like the summer fires to burn off the old trash, so we can see what might be worth keeping.
Yeah, my hope for Obama is that he fires more people than anybody else, and that by freak of fate, he might accidentally bring somebody into the process that had some brains, but still not enough to be doing the sorts of scams-as-usual of the last 8 years.
