I really want to say there are two types of people Sheep and lemmings, but I don't know if this is a good idea,UI know it's not completely true, just a frustration as a result of what has gone on for the last 10 - 12 years if not longer, certainly people are complacent and ambiguous in their participation of the political structure, they think their reps will take care of things for them , However if the last 12 years is any sign as it clearly is, people better get off of their collective asses and get it together or the worse is yet to come. The worse thing about politicians is who they make their alliances with, bad people with their own agendas. ie Phil Gramm ( pushed for dereg ) repeal glass stegall Act of 1933, which led to the Wallstreet bail out BS. And who's team was he on? John McCain's. (it's worth noting after this act was repealed in 1999 by He and Clintons efforts, Phil Gramm went on to make 40 billion dollars over the next 4 months.Heck I could retire for life with 100 of my closest friends and then some for that amount of money.
Clinton also pushed for NAFTA, look at the influx of Mexican and other illegal immigrants coming in from the south and you can attribute this to NAFTA completely. )Which BTW I do not have a problem with them at all, people need to eat to live. I would probably do the same if this happened in my country. And who does Clinton pal around with these days, GHWB, big surprise? hardly.
Obama? Well he has the ZB, Carters former NSA. google him, you might be surprised if you don't know who he is already. Not just ZB,( the admitted Russian hater and architect of the creation of AlQueda ) but his son and daughter too.( It's a family affair...)
So much ignorance so little time -
The difference between Obama and McCain is their age and their skin color, and of course their different backgrounds are clearly completely opposite of each others. Their foreign affairs view is almost identical, their economic views aren't much different, with exception McCain's cure for poverty is to marry a Beer Heiress.
People call the Bush administration fascist, this is so wrong, as much as I despise him, it would take someone with a lot more charisma than the shrub to get the people to mobilizable enough to have a fascist movement, you can find this type of charisma in Obama. People thought Hitler was the answer before he went over the edge. Will we have this type of experience with Obama? I hope not, we will however be in the hot seat with regards to Russia , Iran and Pakistan, then China, if Obama doesn't change his views. There's a Caspian sea treaty that states if anyone attack one of the 5 countries on the Caspian sea that the other countries must assist them to prevent an ecological disaster. Not word for word but this is the gist. What would this mean if the USA were to attack any of the 5 states? Perhaps an obligatory response with force? why would anyone want to risk it? Oh wait , there's 12 trillion dollars in Oil under this sea. And The Shrubs administration and their henchmen aren't satisfied with the money they've already plundered from the US and Iraq,(is it 3 trillion?) apparently they want the whole pot. google Security Strategy Document of the United Sates, and the PNAC if you don't now about them already, their plans are very clear.SSD sentence 2- "Only nations committed to protecting basic human rights" yeah, I think they forgot about that one.
People need to top demonizing people who are different from themselves and start thinking on a global basis. So often it is used as a tool against one or the other by those with bigger plans in mind.
This is like some kind of badly scripted soap opera with the actors being the politicians and the viewers being the American people. Did anyone honestly ever think that Palin and McCain could be "elected " in to office, take another look at them , they're a joke. It's like comparing a bicycle to a porshe.
Don't blame me, inspite of my political affiliation, I did not vote for Obama nor did I vote for McLame, I never had a doubt that obama was the next pres, after all he's been approved by the Trilateral-Bilderberg people.
Wake UP People.

THE 545 PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR AMERICA'S WOES
BY CHARLEY REESE
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we have deficits? Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does. You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does. You and I don't write the tax code. Congress does. You and I don't set fiscal policy.
Congress does. You and I don't control monetary policy. The Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president and nine Supreme Court justices - 545 human beings out of the 300 million - are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered but private central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman or a president to do one cotton- picking thing.
I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it.
No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.
A CONFIDENCE CONSPIRACY
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a SPEAKER, who stood up and criticized G.W. BUSH for creating deficits.
The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it. The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes.
Who is the speaker of the House? She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow Democrats, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto.
REPLACE THE SCOUNDRELS
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts - of incompetence and irresponsibility.
I can't think of a single domestic problem, from an unfair tax code to defense overruns, that is not traceable directly to those 545 people.
When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair. If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red. If the Marines are in IRAQ, it's because they want them in IRAQ.
There are no insoluble government problems. Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power.
Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exist disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation" or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they alone, have the power. They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses - provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees. We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess." |
