We realized this when Obama started to support Bush's failed policies after he got elected.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Min I got some news for you, this isn't just America, it's the entire western (and some non-western) world that's run by the same people.
If you want to know who governs over you find out who you can't touch. You'll be surprised (I adulterated this quote from Voltaire because otherwise it wouldn't reflect reality)
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you

The only thing slowing those Koch fucks down are the dems. I wish they would slow them down faster but you take what you can get.
Sure as fuck don't want to see any republicunt who has his lips surgically attached to their libertarian asses in the WH.

The Democrats have proven they are just the other side of the same coin. They have spent the past eight years (when they won seats in the 2006 mid-term elections) betraying their constituents and selling America out to the highest bidder.

I'm not defending them. Just pointing out that they are not as bad as the republicunts.
You see....those are the only two choices we have.

The US has managed to make your political system about who can get the most money for campaigning and this has given business unjustified power.
It's partly because of the overly complex process which takes ages.
In the UK the election takes just over a moth in the US it never stops.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

I don't think it was Voltaire who said this, it was some neo-nazi nonce, who I've forgotten the name of, in reference to the Jews.

If the dems were really for, by, and of the people they wouldn't keep following the res to the right. They wouldn't try to appeal to the republican base. They are better than the reps, but it's more like black and gray politics than black and white. I'm sorely disappointed that they lost the senate. If they lose the presidency, I don't know what we'll do.
I've heard some good things about Elizabeth Warren. Anyone heard of her? You think that will work out?

Ehh, I plan to become rich. Don't change anything until I know for sure.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
