What's left for them to screw up?

Crap on the environment? Done.
Get in bed with big business? Done.
Huge social welfare programs? Done.
Start an idiotic war with no gameplan? Done.
Spend money without any regard for the future? Done.

Edit: nevermind, a reread made me feel a lot better.

hoo boy that sure was clever thanks for that gem of a zinger hot diggity!

I sincerely hope that the general conservative population is far and away more mature than that, and something can actually be accomplished the next two years.

i don't think either of the parties are competent to fix or run the government...

Pirate Party ftw!


I'm just kidding, in case anyone was confused. There are a lot of gems in the pseudo-third-party system; Peace and Freedom is another good one (they had a convicted felon that was too young running for president at one point). The Prohibition Party (here) is also pretty good.

So neither of the two main parties suit you. There are plenty of other whackjobs out there . Find them, and unite! I could totally be a Garvey-esque preacher. "UNITE WITH YOUR FELLOWS AND GET BACK TO AFRICA!"

I too figured that Bezerkely would be in play. At least those morans are smart.

Orange County community college? Rich kids who were so dumb they couldn't get legacy at a real school.

are you implying I'm a whackjob?

both parties spend all their time saying how the other party screwed up, and don't say anything about how the could have done it better. I guess they realize that most people are either blind party line voting sheep, or people trying to pick the lesser of two evils. I mean really, when was the last time you were proud and excited of a politicain you voted for. Go Ralph Nader!

Implying? No, I'm flat out saying . I wasn't old enough to vote in the presidential elections in 2004, but if I had been, I don't know who I would have voted for. It would have been a tossup between my admiration for Ralph Nader, and my distaste for Bush.

I agree, though; the vast amount of voters are uneducated. The sad part is that tehy see NO reason whatsoever to educate themselves.

lol....what gave you that impression?

...and by uneducated, do you mean they don't follow politics, or don't agree with you?

WOW, this thread is still open? Army must be busy.

I really don't care if people don't agree with me. It makes me angry when people don't know who their governor is, or who the secretary of defense is, or who "Alan Greenspan" and "Kofi Annan" are... THAT is what cooks my carrots :P. I love informed debates. That's how you learn. I can't stand saying something and having someone give you this blank "wtf?" look. One of my exes didn't care at ALL about politics and it frustrated me to no end.

Yeah my previous comment was more in jest, I never know where to stand on political issues because you certaintly cant base an opinion on any of the crap the media feeds you. Republicans do things I dont like and thet I do like and the so do Democrats. Politics just make me depressed...I just want honest leadership who will do the best for our country.

I knew what you meant, I was just poking you for the whackjob comment

While I do wish people would be more involved/informed, I can understand peoples "not caring" attitude. The corruption of politics is such a turnoff to some people. You can say, well then get involved and vote people in to straighten it out, but I guess its like paintball for so many people. Can't stand the attitudes and cheating in the sport so people just leave, because its easy and they can. And there's no one too vote for.

Now a days its hard to stay informed, not for lack of info, but because there's too much info, and everything has a slant left or right, and its hard to know whats the real story. Stuff is taken out of context so often, or misrepresented, its unbelievable. Many reporters don't do any investigating, they just take what people say as truth, no follow up or checking the facts. I dont mean just political, just news in general. Just run wth the story. Drives me crazy.

edit: Altimas just supported my post in alot fewer words
