What the hell is happening to this country?
Our government that represents us is writing secret memos advocating torture? A senior Senator pleads guilty to soliciting gay sex in an airport bathroom and then refuses to resign? A president spending trillions of dollars on fraudulent wars denies health insurance to poor children because he thinks it costs too much money?
 
What the hell is going on here??!!!

..Another answer, is..'SIN, and More SIN!' Which, for better or
worse.. Neither party has a monopoly on{!}
 
..If and when Hillary gets elected Prez., the political 'IOUs' that
will be proposed {with probable success, overall}.. while it
might make a meaningful dent in our bloated military-industrial
'lobby'; our overall national debt {$9 trillion}..plus other
'negatives' {illegal immigration, etc.} will require a more
fundamental change..not sure exactly what{?!}..than our
'tweedle-dum' and 'tweedle-dee'.. two major parties, can
deliver!

Re: What the hell is happening to this country?
Ok, Mr. Burst
I almost agree with everything you wrote this time. The only thing I do not agree with is Hillary and what she might do in office, only due to the fact I haven't read anything on her campaign issues.

How can we be sure that you are from USA?
You can easily be anyone from Venezuela for example.

Hugo Chavez is too smart to deny government services to the poor and working class. he knows where his "support" comes from. Bush and the republican sheep that follow him still believe they can get away with sticking it to Joe Sixpack while Bushie's mega-rich friends get even richer. Obviously the 06 election wasn't much of a wake up all for the bushies. I am sure Nov. 08 will be quite the surprise for the reality-challenged bushies. Unfirtunately whoever replaces them will probably not be much better. :(

Sorry to hear about all the negative things.
But, cheer up, the Bank of Sweden and all the other European central and national banks are doing all they can to maintain your currency stay alive.
 
A long term solution could be, for you, to make an application for a membership in The European Union (EU).

Re: What the hell is happening to this country?

I advocate "an eye for an eye"
 
A senior Senator pleads guilty to soliciting gay sex in an airport bathroom and then refuses to resign?
What's wrong with being gay? Why should he resign when others didn't!?
 
A president spending trillions of dollars on fraudulent wars denies health insurance to poor children because he thinks it costs too much money?
Trillions of dollars spent since 2001? Good ROI... "No deal on children's health plan? ... expanding the program would enlarge the role of the federal government at the expense of private insurance."
 
What the hell is going on here??!!!
As long as we/you can play chess on Caissa anytime you want (do you play chess at all!?) and beetch about any thing, you're still living in the land of freedom and democrary (THE GREAT USA), not in China or Venezuela.

Mister Dual,,,,, you have TREMENDOUS insight,,, thank you.
 
Please tell me,,, littel "a" Americans,, when was the last time YOU, the people, had a say in ANY of the following:
 
1. how much you are TAXED, if at all (poor people??)
2. what happens to people who cannot AFFORD to pay their tax
3. How big a slice $$ the government should take from the american pie
4. How much do legislators get paid
5. WHERE and on WHO are Tax Dollars SPENT *** Biggest agenda item
 
Trust me, Americans,.,,, you can threaten WAR and never get control over these issues,,, the POWER PIG elites in America, our legislators LIVE to control how much money THEY make and who gets benefit of it,,
 
you know,,, the trickle down theory of politics. THEY have it, BUT.... the people that have it spent on them first are next in line to get the benefit of those dollars. "trickle down"
 
Anyway, good snip, Dual,, and say.... nice camera!

This just caught my eye, greenjeans..... and just the way this is written (fibbing) I have to suspect you are a DEMOCRAT, am I not correct....?
 
I will assume for the moment you ARE, if not, this message is for all OTHER democrats here.
 
#1. "Craig resigns over airport bathroom sex sting" Associated Press Web Link, Spetember 2, 2008
 
When I see somebody STRETCHING the truth to make a point,, it is a big tip off the hat,,, a "TELL" - as they call it in Poker parlance.
 
And could it be that your REAL issue with Senator Craig is only because he is REPUBLICAN,,,?? Here is the TEST for you....
 
Barney Frank, DEMOCRAT Rep. Massachusetts, who has come under HEAVY fire as of late for his mishandling of afffairs with AIG,,, was once caught having illicit sex in the locker room of the congressional gymnasium.
 
Barney's sex act was with a man who was a professional prostitute nicknamed "Love Bottom", and who ran the brothel out of Franks Washington resdience, and even advertised in the "personals" ads using Frank's telephone number.
 
1. Did Barney Frank RESIGN.....? (obviously NO)
2. Were Democrats URGING him to resign......?
3. once you found out that Frank was a DEMOCRAT, did you care one iota about his transgression?
 
Are you a "GO PARTY", kinda guy, green jeans..? Do I smell FOUL on you, greenjeans?
 
come back in here and show me my suspicions are wrong. Or, try.

THIS..... Greenjeans,, is a very legit gripe, of course.
 
this is something I have tried to point out in here, using other words, but,,,, same thing.
 
this is supposedly a Democracy,, that's OUR money,,, not THEIRS,, let's put it to a VOTE.
 
Spend the money on dubious(at BEST) wars, or,,, give needed health care to AMERICANS...?
 
Well, we all know what the answer would be to that one, which is precisely why,,, WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE THE CHOICE in our American "democracy". Got the picture, y'all...? DualSpace is RIGHT.
 
If the people make the choice,,, washington ELITE power pigs and their friends do not get the money.
 
and that is what it is all about.
 
thank you.

Um, OK.
 
Your quote above is from Sep. 2, 2007, not 2008. I think this is a more recent report:
 
Sen. Larry Craig Vows To Stay In Office
 
In fact the honorable Sen. Craig is still in the Senate and recently voted FOR the bailout bill.

No that is just the smell of my brain melting.

I stand corrected! - on the issue of Craig.
 
How about Frank,, should he too, have been thrown out of congress,,, resigned....?
 
I'm Just trying to gauge if your angst at Craig is becuase of WRONG-DOING vs. BEING REPUBLICAN, as charged.
 
But you are more up on this than me (Craig),, you win that one.

Why do you think we have hussein? The demns used the pazuzu method and did not vote for her. They used their vote for hussein to NOT vote for her. Every vote for hussein is a vote the she can't have.
 
This is the method to be employed for hussein. I fear he will be the president next month.
 
 
It's kinda like playing chess NOT to win the game, but trying to make sure you don't LOSE the game.
