Political Discussions
In the words of our illustrious (read: braindead) president, "Bring it on."

Since the "Obsession" thread started going way off topic, relieve all your political stresses here.

We do all get along. We just tend to agree to disagree on top of that.sOmeone wrote:In the words of I don't know who, "Can't we all just get along?"

I think despair.com puts it quite well, in their "Compromise" poster/card/etc.sOmeone wrote:In the words of I don't know who, "Can't we all just get along?"
http://www.despair.com/compromise.html (their site is broken at the moment for me, should fix itself up soon though)
Compromise
Let's agree to respect each others views,
no matter how wrong yours may be

Re: Political Discussions
Either way in a two party system we all loose. Neither Demo or Repub is right. In fact both are wrong for the country as a whole. Neither seeks the good of the country and it's people first. They seek their own agendas and power before all other things. I think that politics should be a mandatory service. You do it for one or two years then you never do it again. If you seek an office then you are banned and put into prison. If you accept a bribe then you serve life in prison. Only those with a high enough score on a series of psychological tests would be the ones allowed to govern. Then there would be an elimination of the idiots and those who claim responsibility for things they know not.

Personally, I think we should have held the election over again. But I also believe that the human species is headed for a partial extinction, much akin to the fish kills that we see every once in a while. Mother Nature has a way of killing off excess population every now and then.
And recount or not, Bush was, is, and will always be, unfit to lead the nation.

What we realy need to do is abolish the archaic electoral college. Many people do not realize that we do NOT really vote for the president in the USA. We express our desire for candidates to the electoral college. A slim majority in a state can get also all that state's electoral votes. The electoral college can put any candidate in power that they wish.
Unfortunately, neither was the opposition. Democrats are for The Party. Republicans are for The Party. Taxpayers are simply for paying taxes to enrich Democrats and Republicans and their respective parties so are given the illusion that they have a choice of presidents. You do realize that campaign money not spent on an election is a "gift" to a candidate, don't you? You don't really need to win an election.And recount or not, Bush was, is, and will always be, unfit to lead the nation.
