so did "change" REALLY take place in 2010?

[catamount man]

Or did we get a different bunch of asshats telling us the same thing that was told to us 4 years ago? Seriously, as long as Repubs and Dems keep switching seats, NOTHING WILL CHANGE. Fuck voting, I AM DONE putting drones controlled by big business into positions of higher power over us year after year after year. DONE!!! And don't give me any shit about a goddamn soldier dying for my "right to vote" as no fucking soldier has ever defended anything for me.

The day a soldier comes to my house and protects me from a terrorist or other such acts of terror, THEN you can say a soldier defended me. Until then, all a soldier has done is die for some corporate government's acts of greed. And we have the gall to keep fighting these wars?!!! Tell that to his wife and kids. FUCK U AMERICA!!!

Actually most of this insane rant is actually spot on...
Democrats and Republicans swap seats as the pendulum swings
Soldiers indeed are used as described above

[Wedgebuster]

"Freedom isn't free" son, the cost of freedom today is paid for by a percentage of our youth that we run through the grinder overseas on kitty litter countries, and our senior citizens who watch as their estates are taken from them as their health declines by our modern medical system.

...yes, the same senior citizens who never bothered with researching thier politicians, who never paid much heed to polticical decisions & repurcussions outside of school prayer & abortion, who blame the other guys for their misfortune while continually sending up the same crap to represent "their" interests in congress...the same senior citizens who CHOSE to remain ignorant of the political process & who, in their chosen ignorance, can now claim the mantle of this country's first generation to leave it's citizenry in worse circumstances than they inherited....forgive me if I don't shed a tear to this generation's lack of retirement...guess in the end, all are held to account in some manner....

1. I blame the electorate, not the corporations.

2. Perhaps the soldiers fighting in Iraq have not exactly secured your freedom, BUT there ARE some soldiers still living who likely DID.

3. Is this post a portent of another suicide watch, or are they just trying to fine-tune your dosage right now?

Since corporations are really just groups of people with rights and who already pay taxes, can we then blame it on those groups of people instead?

In all seriousness, you're spot on about the electorate. Just look at how stupid, dishonest, and successful campaign advertising was this year.

Some of you are starting to convince me that 1) we need means and/or intelligence testing in order to vote, and 2) it's time to cut the gov'mint umbilical cord and let eveyone fend for themselves. Then you will see some change.

The only problem with intelligence testing is that you would wind up with a government that consists of 1 democrat, 25 moderate republicans, and the rest would be one term independents.

I'm certainly not in the same "camp" with him fro crying out loud
but I will take each of his loony posts at face value - sometimes there's gold in them thar hills

[89Hen]

I'd rather not dig through a mountain of shit to find one tiny nugget.
