When it comes to voting for our Presidency, our vote really doesn't matter. It's all Electoral College. Popular vote is a joke designed to make people feel like they have control.

I stand down now......

You folks just underline my anger about the politics and the politicians in this country.

I think my statement earlier stands.

Only a full out revolt and overthrow of our government might set things right.
We did it once, we might have to do it again.

Stand up.....or you might have to forever stand down.

We have the same feelings over the pond, with the Unions threatening the first General Strike in decades. But Civil unrest is never the answer ....


So, dammit, Chris........

It is the court of last resort, I give you.

But what do we, the people, do.......
When our best weapon, the vote, fails us?

As you rightly stated earlier, the best "weapon" we have is our Freedom of Speech; to share our ideas and hopefully change people's minds through (preferably) intellectual discourse.

Voting is largely a symbolic waste of time. Popular/majority vote doesn't mean right or wrong (e.g. segregation laws, sexual orientation discrimination laws). Popular vote simply shows what the current populace is thinking.

'Bout time we tended our own soil.

If this nation tended to our own needs........
We could be the strongest nation in the world.
Could attend to all our stricken.

The tax base is there. Yes, get the rich for their money........it has been done before,........

Don't those who have lived off of the fat of this land deserve to now give up to those who have not?

And I am not talking about welfare bitches and those who shall not contribute to the system.

It's about time.

Romney promises to reduce taxes for the middle income people.

Washington Post

So nothing for the American masses who read this then.

He defines middle income as between $200,000 and $250,000

Sounds like a little too much Fox news to me. You are so anti-democrat, yet you quote a democrat in your sig. You are/were blue collar, yet you want to vote for the party that doesn't give a crap about us.

I'd like one cited example of these accusations you make against your president.

Now, I'm off to work for hours 51-63 today, and it's not even the weekend yet. I sure hope the guy that is REALLY out to screw us (Romney) does not win. We are all entitled to our opinions.

While doing this Work, do your muscles bulge, your brow sweat, get cut, scraped and bleed, dirt and grime get under your nails, on your clothes and face? When you plop down for a few minutes rest are you aching and groaning?

No sweat, no muscles bulging, no filth, no blood.

Then you are not Working.

No one(me) who has Worked as described above and still do maintaining a home, do not consider what you do work.

Get a grip. A Strong, sweaty, dirty, bloody grip.

I believe that Obama is the greatest threat to this nation ever.

Why? His policies are very middle of the road or even slightly to the right of centre.
I believe the that he has a real threat to this country as we know it ever posed since it's inception.

Have you been listening to Chuck Norris again?
Call me an alarmist....call me anything you want to.

I will call you mislead.

Obama another time around simply shall bring this country down.


Despite the evidence that he halted the downward slide and has begun to improve things?

As his muslim background dictates he would.

1. He is not a Muslim.

2. Most Muslims in the west are pretty moderate and just want a quiet life like most Christians. I try not to judge all Christians by the crazy far right Christians who want to control women, who spew hate at anyone who's not a Christian and go around bombing people they don't agree with. It's hard, but I try. I also know plenty of Muslims who don't want to destroy anyone's country and are more interested in watching the Hockey than flying planes onto buildings.

GODless/Atheist Libbers are HYPOCRITES and Do Not Deserve anyone's vote.

Watched Ceremony at Andrews, and Your Libber Leaders Spake GOD and quoted Scripture over and over and over. PITIFUL. SICKENING.

Puting GOD back in The Democrat's Platform gives them The Right to Spake GOD and Scripture? ROTFLMAO.

You either Believe or Do Not Believe and Speak Accordingly, NO MATTER THE SITUATION, Grave or Not. To GOD this, and GOD That, and Scripture This and That is Why The DEM/Libs Got To Go.

When Libbers need The Extra Vote to WIN, they Puke Out GOD and Scripture. PITIFUL. Peace Prize JOKE Pitiful.

Vote Leaders who Believe and when they Speak, you know it is not A LIE.

Guy, you believe what you believe. It is wonderful for you that you are able to have your faith -- it insulates you from facts and truth so well.

I still think you really need to re-think your meds.
