Why do people never realize that having just 2 (or 1) parties making (or not making) all the decisions in the country is extremely stupid, and that the next time they elect their 4-year dictator they should vote for one who decides to change things like that?

Our system wasn't intended for two parties. It just ended up being two-party because that's what England had, and we fear change.

if we fear change then how the **** did obama get elected?

or do people hare republicans that much now?

Nuclear1 · **Reply #23 on:** February 02, 2009, 09:50:49 am

Yeah, they hate Republicans that much. I don't think the Republicans had any chance of winning this election, especially John McCain.

Solatar · **Reply #24 on:** February 02, 2009, 10:20:31 am

Obama isn't as much of a change as people around here think he is. Certainly he is better than Bush and McCain, but I hate the cult that has appeared at his feet...

well they've only been have had the presidency for 8 years and the the congress was republican from 1995 to 2007

and what did they accomplish?

Nuclear1 · **Reply #26 on:** February 02, 2009, 10:55:09 am

That was the exact reason they lost.

Ah Politics... I think I put way too much common sense into my thinking. This so called Stimulas Package is just bloated spending for programs that are not needed in the first place. People want to get the economy going they need to look in the mirror and that is where you start. Government is not the answer to your problems.

Here was a WSJ article I came across http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123310466514522309.html

Trying to find a breakdown of the whole bill but having trouble finding it.... that should be a sign! The American people should have a right to see what is in this bill before our wonderful elected officials make it into law. This is the problem today. The people need to be responsible again and not trust the judgment of their officials so blindly.

I think that the Stimulus package will help, because it's this adrenaline rush that'll HOPEFULLY lead to more jobs being created. My dad made his company $2,000,000 last year. He gets paid $60,000 a year. You'd think he'd get a raise, but NOPE, his CEO gets a $5,000,000 bonus.

It infuriates me.

Hmm! My fellow scientists!
I think I smell something here, something familiar! I might have encountered this kind of behaviour before, somewhere in the dark jungles of Internet.

Let's test it, my fellow scientists! This is a litmus test only. Fear not!:
What do you think of Reagan?

iamzack · **Reply #36 on:** February 02, 2009, 04:54:04 pm

She hated McCain. She thought he was too liberal. BUT since she wasn't going to vote at all, I convinced her to vote for Obama.

Solatar · **Reply #37 on:** February 02, 2009, 06:15:41 pm

She thought he was too liberal and you convinced her to vote for Obama instead?

I applaud your obviously exquisite rhetorical skills.

I'm sorry, but things don't work that way. The first one didn't work. Why should another. Better to just hand the offending businesses out to dry. It will be better in the long run. By giving money to failing companies, it encourages them to do the bad things they did before because, hey, what the hell, they'll get paid if they mess up again anyway. That isn't the way the country should run.

What I say is **** politics. Republican/Democrat arguments are stupid and just perpetuate more arguments. Do what works, not what makes you popular. (Btw, I support Bush for doing exactly that. Don't argue this statement. This is not meant to start a flame war. That is what I think, deal with it.)
