I vote we go to Texas and throw the whole Bush clan in then the flooding will create a bigger "moat" between the US and Mexico (thus killing 2 birds with one stone). BTW Ted can get thrown in as well to make it even bigger

Haha! I love it!

People forget (if they ever knew) that way, way back in the annals of history, a couple hundred years or so, two diametrically opposed factions formed that became the Democrat and Republican parties. Although the roots of the two parties have become obscured, and their underlying tenets diluted, the basic philosophies of the two parties are quite simple. The Republicans believed that the role of government is to see to the business of the country/state, while the people were allowed to take care of their own business. The Democrat philosophy, on the other hand, is that the government should oversee and control/regulate everything, including our personal affairs!

The Left has become attractive to so many people because it espouses the abdication of personal responsibility. Personal responsibility is a concept that will make any staunch Leftist cringe. This "not my fault" attitude is why we have juries awarding obscene settlements to people for being stupid.

I like to watch court shows when the weathers too bad to do much of anything else. I think it was on "Judge Joe Brown" that I saw the ridiculous unfold before my very eyes. A guy was suing this whiny broad for the amount of the insurance deductible after she rear-ended him and nearly destroyed his car - and the kid in the car-seat in the back. OK, that's reasonable. But she was counter-suing him for medical expenses!! So, this guy is sitting at a red light, minding his own business, this broad slams into the back of his car at thirty-five miles an hour, and she wants him to pay for the results of her own stupidity*!! Well, the case was ruled in favor of the plaintiff, and the Judge read the whiny one the riot act for even imagining that she was going to get anything from him. And told her to be thankful that that kid hadn't been injured or killed - she wouldn't be suing anybody from jail.

A Lib. judge probably would have given her what she wanted - plus pain and suffering - and dismissed the other guy for being so disrespectful as to stop in front of her in the first place!


* She hit the guy because she was bent over looking for a bottle of water that she'd dropped!

Hah!!

Had to laugh at that one. Just too funny.

I can't understand how some people will quickly rise to Kennedy's defense. He's a broken-down, besotted old fool that bought his way out of a manslaughter conviction, years ago. The next time you hear someone espousing Kennedy's greatness, just remind them that he's the only brother that no one thought was worth shooting.

I usually end up voting Republican (registered as an Independent). I'll probably end up voting for Paul, just because he didn't start his political career as a shyster.

Yeah, me too, and I've reconsidered -

this would cause an unparalleled level of polution in Boston Harbor!

I take it you haven't been near Boston Harbor lately. Don't think it'd really make that much of a difference.

I've never truly believed that one's political party really means much. Sure, you've got the people that actually do as the party claims, with no hidden agendas. You then have the majority of politicians: the ones that make claims that please the majority of America, and instead do what gives them the most money. The best example is fence-sitters who change their opinions on a subject one way or another, based on popular opinion at the time.

However, I know America will never give up the party system - we've had it so ingrained into our brains that we can't get it out. I would at least like five parties, for that makes the most sense to me. We need a conservative party, a liberal party, a libertarian party, and a statist party. As of right now, we have black and white, but most people fail to see the gray area in between.

Great see now I have two votes already, if a few million more vote for me you can have a president who will do something.

I will if elected president give 1 AA battery out to everyone in America. And if I win by a landslide I will give make it a rechargeable one.

Well, that should get you the Green vote!

Yes I did not think about that at the time.

Thank you my fellow American! ha ha You will get two rechargeable ones if I win.
