I've always thought the party system, especially only 2, is retarded. Many countries have 5 or more parties. With many of the issues I swear each party pulled their stance on them out of a hat. Republicans want to save babies, but have no problem going to war, or executing or torturing adults. Democrats dislike war and execution and torture, but don't mind killing babies. Picking a party and just believing everything on their platform without question is about the most retarded thing you can do. Unfortunately without having more than 2 parties, it's almost impossible to really choose someone that fits your beliefs, and you always end up having to compromise.
Honestly, the only way our government could truely be salvaged is not by only adding a 3rd party or anything of that nature, but by actually giving the power back to the local level as what was originally intended by the founding fathers. The federal branch has too much power and ability to override state and city policies, and is what is the largest issue corrupting our politics. And now because they are doing so many thing for us and controlling everything, they can justify taking more and more taxes. Which means local governements have less money to do things with, and have to get money from the federal gov with strings attached to do anything.
blah blah blah massively off topic again, lol.
I have never even heard of Olberman so it kind of fell flat on me. I know of Limbaugh, Bootz, Hannity,etc I occasionally know of people I didn't think I did until I see them on the news one day. Anyways;
Agreed, but Federal Level Governments are like addicts with the power. They won't give up their fix. They will actively steal from others to satisfy that addiction.
@The Jesus: I follow that exact rule I take information from difference sources and come to my own conclusions though many of my decisions can be broken down by "Does it break a constitutional right? Does anyone who isn't consenting going to be hurt? Bill of rights going to be violated? Will it take advantage of people who are unable to defend themselves? If you answered no to all of the above I approve and will endorse your product and or service. Many of my core beliefs are along the lines of the Libertarian party and I have had those beliefs before I even knew of the parties existence. Sometimes I share Anarchist (The extreme form of Libertarianism) and sometimes I have socialist ideas but, that is mostly because I have grown to hate capitalism.
So we're all in agreement then? We all Agree that we want to beat the fucking shit out of the politicians who run our country.
