I'm trying to decide whether you're a giant doosh or a turd sandwich.



Quote from denner:

Until we can actually have qualified "voters", "we" are doomed to repeat the same mistakes for generations to come.

In a perfect world, only those with some "skin in the game" would be afforded the privilege of voting. Either verifiable income and employment, a property owner, etc...

Absolutely no public sector employee would be given the right to vote as this is the BIG problem. As the percentage of job growth in the past two decades emerged from the public sector, it only stands to reason that these voters will continually vote for even more government and more spending.

And lastly, as controversial as it may seem, I'm not that crazy about giving women the right to vote either. The percentage of women that I've ever met that will vote based upon a candidate's political platform is probably about 10%. The vast majority will vote upon not just the candidate's appearance, but also the candidate's stance on all of the "fringe issues" that have absolutely no business being a part of the national dialogue.

It's spelled "douche".

And I'm certain that you are a giant "douche", a turd sandwich and a politically correct, brainwashed piece of shit.

How's that work for ya?

Quote from Eight:

I was talking to a Tea Party gal today and she said something that sort of gave me food for thought. She said "we don't have Socialism, we have Communism"...



I've lived under Communism.

She doesn't have a fucking clue what it means to "have Communism".

What we have is Peak Democracy and Peak Middle Class, thanks to the end of the Cheap Oil Bubble.

It was all a mirage...

Quote from denner:

It's called controlled opposition. A two party system gives the voters literally no options. If the system were reformed in any meaningful way and alternative parties were to emerge, I think that we'd see a vastly different political landscape.

Currently, it's near impossible for an outside party to raise the sort of funding needed to take on the embedded politico's who have guaranteed special interest funding.

What we have is the "best system that money can buy".

if the contrived ows rally was a real " cleanse dc,vote out all rep and dems" ,they wouldn't need the cash,just a name on the ballot
