yo Soaker-
its going to be awesome in a few years when the current administrations agenda that their so fervently trying to get thru completely effs things up...democrats wont be in power for years. Thats why republicans are just sittin back and waiting for it to happen, so they can be like "wow. democrats in control really helps things, doesnt it [American public]?!"
identifying dem or rep is stupid anyway tho. big business runs the country, and the planet for that matter. presidents are just pawns it seems
Yea this should be an interesting midterm election, what with the Census and redistricting, and of course the likely possibility that Democrats will lose a lot of seats. They should clean house and fire everyone and hold all new elections with fresh candidates!

1st: It's still a great country. 2nd: It's not one party or the other, it's all of them. There is no dividing line.

It really seems that country is polarized a great deal more so than any time that I can remember. The conservative democrats are really the only moderates left.

I honestly don't care what political party one follows as long as they respect and will defend the Constitution, I'm good with 'em.

People love to catagorize things, it has a calming effect. They even catagorize themselves, so others know what they stand for.
The problem is that no one person is definitively one thing or another. Given enough questions to answer about hypothetical situations, everybody will answer contradictory to themselves.
This world is built upon corruption and natural selection. Otherwise nobody would clean toilets. Your actions are only made available because someone else suffered first. The sooner everybody realizes their own hypocrisy, the sooner we will experience Ego Death, and the peaceful existence of all humans on this planet.
Until then, FOXNews and cowardly, ignorant masses will rule this land by shear numbers alone. Greed being the oil that keeps it all going.
Now it is 1984

It's funny, you post all the yellow propaganda and then say something so... moderate.
You're like a puzzle wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in a vest.

I just thought something today, I thought about the whole election for this presidency and thought it was weird out of all the people the Republicans could have chose, they chose such a weak president and vice president combination, why would they knowingly throw an election away, there was no way McCain/Palin would have won.
Was it because the country was in such a crappy position, financially and in the wars etc.
I don't believe in conspiracies that much and certainly don't think that this is, but just wondered what you guys thought about why the Republican nominations were so weak.
Weird what goes through your head when you are painting a ceiling with a roller!!
We really didn't mean to 'do a Nietzsche' as it were, and kill God, but then again, God's been dead for over three hours now, and things still seem to be going on pretty much as usual in the universe.

i think mccain was nothing more than an appeal to try to get some moderates and blue dog dems.
there were alot of republicans that hate mccain but obviously, putting party above everything, voted for him.

The country is divided and the republicans knew they were probably going to lose the election, so as angelofdeath suggests, this was an attempt to stir up the conservative and libertarian base, and a stab at trying to get some independent voters. For the most part its worked and a lot of the traditional conservative political ideologies are becoming the base for a lot of new and incumbent politicians talking points.

I tend to think it was just a repeat strategy from 1992. Regan's only 2 bankable assets when he left office were his 'good looks' and unwavering anti-socialism. I strongly suspect there wasn't much else when he was elected. Bush, shortly departed as Director of the CIA, was surely pulling the real strings. The secret hostage negotiation before the election that led directly to the Iran/Contra arms scandal, Greneda, the invasion of Panama, the ivasion of Iraq (and crack)... they all stink of the same hand.
When people realized that what 'trickled down' amounted to nothing, the war on drugs was a failure and communism was mostly defunct, the GOP needed something quick to divert the stern gaze and Dan Quayle was busted. They put on a half hearted campaign and the Democrats took over w/ Clinton.
Then the Dems balanced the budget and eliminated the deficit (ZERO!), bombed the shit out of Kosovo and got blowjobs. Probably sometime during the blowjobs they felt like everybody loved them so they tried to float Gore/Lieberman.
Meanwhile, the combination of Liebermans burgeoning party betrayal and the rise of talk radio (perhaps the demise of the 'equal time' law) had come together to help convince a demoralized GOP base that they weren't idiots who sidestepped laws when they wanted, started a fight with anyone who looked at us sideway (or looked sideways in general) and spent money like they owned a fucking printing press. It was (and IS) widely claimed that despie direct legislation (sometimes completely reversing GOP strategies) it was, in fact, Reaganomics that put the country 'right'. I'd just like to remind everyone right now that Reaganomics brought us the K-car.
K-Car:
The stage was set for Bush II, the Cheney years. You guys were undoubtedly there for that, where they started a war, sidestepped a bunch of laws (this time mainly trampling on our civil rights) and spent money like, well, you know.
So, expect another 3 years at least of people claiming Obama fucked up the economy back in '02 when was a community organizer and he should never have got us in these fucking wars, also his daughters are getiing 'hot' (somebody's gonna say it)...
Soaker, sort of better recently but overall you only get about 35% of the type of soviet socialist propaganda posters that I really like. Step it up or cut it out.

say what you want about those old k cars... but from my auto technician perspective... those cars were hard to kill. regular maintenance and a timing belt or two... those cars would flat out LAST. those old dodges were much better than chevy or ford at the time.
