Thread: A Pre-Election Message to Both Sides

I would ad a message to those to those who we send to Capital Hill, and those who send them.

To the new class, you will stay in line, you will represent those who sent you, or you will join those who get pink slips tomorrow. More over, if you fail to hold up your principles this country will fall back into the clutches of those who would would destroy us.

To the voters, you need to remember that this is just the first phase of the American Restoration. The incoming Congress, by design, will not solve all our problems. It took us over 80 years to get into this hole, it will take multiple election cycles, and the blood, sweat, and tears of millions of individuals to build up our families, communities, and nation to sustainable prosperity.

Wise words...

And how long do you think it will take this set of ass clowns to turn into what the GOP was in 2002, the biggest of the big government, pork barrel spenders in history, raking in bribe money, and heading out to Scotland for a round of golf with Jack Abramof at St. Andrews?
Yeah, they learned their lesson so well....that will never happen again

It's interesting that to you, "bad people" seems to mean "those who say nasty things about me and make me feel sad."

To me, at least in politics, "bad people" means people who enact legislation that makes most Americans poorer and worse off, gets us into wars we shouldn't be fighting, damages our environment, lowers our quality of life, promotes bigotry and intolerance against innocent people, and other things that actually matter. If they also call me naughty names, I can't really be bothered about that. There are more important things, it seems to me.

But that's just me, of course. Maybe your priorities are different.

The Democrats sure did a fabulously terrible job, I can't disagree with you there. They deserve to be tossed out of DC. What I can't agree with is the idea that replacing politicians with more politicians is going to make any sort of real difference. The two parties act essentially the same when they're in power. I expect just more of the same crap that we've had for the past few decades.

So you think both parties are composed of "bad people"?

Cool

Let's just say that both parties certainly include some bad people and not enough good ones.

However, that doesn't make them equivalent. It just makes neither one ideal.

Um...you haven't been paying attention lately if you think the GOP in 2002 is the biggest of the big government pork barrel spenders in history.

That would be the congresses of 2007 to 2010.

Absolutely.

It's going to be more mindless yapping about one party's obstructionism of the other, more corporate welfare, more meaningless positioning, and ultimately the nation will lose.



Clearly something we should all be celebrating.

I wish I could disagree with any of this. But I can't.

Sigh.



Proudly defending the status quo long after the quo has lost its status.

I love Demotivators - I just wish they weren't so accurate.

No, we can not all just get along.

Just can't peel those partisan blinders off, can you?

What's happening now is that a lot of people are trying to evict the political "class" that has grown. We are trying to get rid of the self serving and the downright corrupt. If the "best" we could come up with for head of state was a choice between McCain and Obama......suffice it to say that the time for change was well overdue 2 years ago.
