Yes, both parties are insane. And for a MINOR moment of levity: maybe they're indeed confused about our numbering system, as we have some different names than used elsewhere in the world. Search results on naming differences in the numbering system. |

I'm not finding much levity. My two daughters are going to be stuck with this crap. What's in store for them? Who knows. I'm really not finding much levity at all. None. |

In the true ability of an independent, who can sound like a conservative at times: well, you're the one that chose to have children (you and your partner/spouse, that is). And you think you won't feel it before you pass on; that it's only a matter of the pain of being passed on one or two generations down the road? |

they seem to be pandering to the Tea party now. Talk about crazy the Tea party folks want to shutdown the gov't to prove a point of what extremes they'll go to get their way. Clinton successfully used the bully pulpit the last time lets hope Obama can get folks to see reason In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

Clinton successfully used the bully pulpit the last time lets hope Obama can get folks to see reason Crazy? No. They see a debt of $46,000 for every person in the United States and realize you can't raise taxes enough to pay for it all. That means cutting things, just like families and people do when they have too high debt. I wish Democrats would do what sane individuals do everyday in their personal lives and as they run their households.... Say to themselves "NO, I actually can't afford that. I'll pass. Thank you for the offer." It's called willpower. Something that's absent with Pelosi/Reid/Obama and Company. Even RED China is saying we spend too much. When communists are admonishing you on spending, you know you have a problem. |

I think America has basically the same problem that we have over here in the UK. Traditionally you only have Right wing or Left Wing, and in each case only 1 major party representing that. In our case we have Labour for the left, Conservatives for the right. Chris, I'd watch the Tea Party with fear. Whatever your politics I am sure you wouldn't want these people in power. There policies are based on ignorance. A lot of their candidates are downright nuts. Imagine your worst students who have a very limited view of the world and who argue with you with an overblown sense of their rights but with absolutely no understanding of how the world works and so sense of their responsibility. Have you ever taught pupils who stick their hands over their ears and scream "devils lies! devils lies!" when you are teaching the theory of evolution? These are the type of people grow up, get the vote and then make up the Tea Party. It is not in anyone's interest to have a party like that in power. They scare me. Reality Internet Personality |

Have you ever taught pupils who stick their hands over their ears and scream "devils lies! devils lies!" when you are teaching the theory of evolution? I assume you can't call Child Protective Services to solve the issue and have them removed from their abusive parents. IIRC when the first of the now dozens of Tea Parties started it had no religo-nuts in it. It was libertarian. The religo-nuts saw that this group had traction and might just get somewhere. That scared them as they would get marginalized. They started dozens of religo-tea's and got idiot publicity. All good things get destroyed. |

In our case we have Labour for the left, Conservatives for the right. I actually think good things will start to happen now. People will once again see that they are getting swindled and hoodwinked by the wealthy pigs that claim they come to save us. I read in the news this morning that the Republicans are refusing to budge on 0.83% of the entire budget. less than 1% of the budget will cause us to shut down again.

is this about the same group that is running around demanding birth certificates(even though it can be easily googled), running around screaming 'o noes, sharia law is coming if there is a mosque in town', and trying to pass us off as a x-tian( I leave the c word out of the text since they leave his teachings out of their dogma) nation, despite the same constitution they claim to be upholding has a very clear seperation from church (ANY church/temple/synogugue/mosque/etc) and state? I am sorry.. was there a point? Other than anyone to the left of falling-off-the-right-edge is "knee-jerk"? Janice |

[]sacarsm[] Clearly my response was not what you were looking for. You ask for counter argument, but when your post is so far off base that it there is no place to even start a counter argument. Give us something to work with, otherwise I shall just post the real an honest response to what you wrote. Which I did. I genuinely laughed out loud when I read it. You don't want to be reasoned with. Your mind is made up. You just want a platform to preach from. Reality Internet Personality |
