DC Tom Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 And 99 other senators in Congress shrug their shoulders and say "Wait a minute...that's illegal?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RabidBillsFanVT Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 blzrul, you beat me to the punch. Funny how only the Dem offenses get posted treatment. Yeah, it's all one sided! Ex-Senator from NY finally caught.. Dem? NOPE. Ohh, but DARE to put a Republican out there for doing the SAME thing; get roasted, called every name in the book, etc.. PUH-LEASE!

Alaska Darin Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Here's another terrific thread by the partisans. "You're party sucks: Example here!" "No, you're party sucks: Example here!" Guess what? Both your parties suck and are selling us down the river. But feel free to defend their rightousness to the death against the other "evil" party.

Giant picture of a graveyard with tombstones of third parties (and mottos for each party). A box at the entrance to the graveyard reads "place wasted votes in here." For us Libertarians, the tombstone read: "Should have worn my seatbelt," which is a dig at us for our disdain of government control. The Green party tombstone had a solar panel mounted above it. The Democrat grave was being dug out. Etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you suppose it would be if Libertarians were in control of Congress? Or Greens? Or....? They can talk a good deal b/c they're on the outside. Truth is, if they're in there, they do the same thing. That thing about power corrupting and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the people you like. Jettison the people you don't. 95+% incumbancy in the Congress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But lets keep pretending the two are somehow different from each other, united in purpose and doing the best for their constituants. Take the tax cut for example: The Democrats think it went to the wrong place. The Republicans thing it was fine. Both are right. Both are desperately wrong. The government has access to far too much money and because of that are accountable to no one. Don't like what they have to say? Protest a little too vehemently? They've got more than enough money (power) to outlast all but the elites (who own them anyway). Status quo sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
