"If your not pro-Democratic and your not pro-Rep. than what are you?"

I'm a capitalist who believes in limited gov. as defined by Art. 10 in the constitiution. I do not believe in Taxation without Representation. I do not believe in the COLLECTIVE. I do not believe in ROBIN HOOD.

Both parties, as of today, are dangerous to the Constitution and Capitalism as a whole. There are some good people on the Reps side. But both parties are full of shit.

Whoever controls the advertising $ controls the votes....

Whoever has the $ for the lobbyists receives legal ease and largesse rights....

The common American has no sway to either....

This is exactly why the political system has become a failed system which leads to a failed state....

Watch it happen....

It is already happening....

.............................................................

The removal of monied advertising and lobbying influences will change the game....

There is a solution....

The INTERNET.....
.........................................................

The second part of the solution would be WIKI type responses to the public....spoken in laymens language....

In simple speak....any political desire can be quantified in terms of economic impacts and who really pays for them....

If the information is made available in a basic truthful manner.....this would go a long way to economics and politics coming closer together....
.......................................................

Most importantly....

One must not accept that there are no new solutions.....

One must also know what "real change" really means....

have been hearing such warnings since 1980s but no body listened, now the boat is beyond 45 degrees on the tilt. better to climb and throw weight on the other side or it is a sinker sinker scenario.

Anyone seeing headlines like "Massive layoffs for state workers" or "Federal Government to Layoff Thousands" ?
I haven't.
Funny...these workers are the LEAST PRODUCTIVE, but yet they are still employed whereby productive workers are being laid-off by the millions.
Make sense ?
Of course not. It's all politics and rhetoric as usual. That's what is killing our country.

Quote from gkishot:

It seems to me that at least your view on economical issues is closer to Republican.

That is true, if you mean that in theory at least Republican = less government. In practice, however, this is far from reality.

It can't be done anyway, Gingrich and company tried it in the 90's and they were excoriated for it. Touch Medicare and SSI for instance and you die politically. The population knows about the problem but will not take any cuts in benefits. Republicans then will spend simply to stay in office.

I'm very sorry for all of us, this problem will be one of those self correcting situations, like a bubbble.

Yes, at best, self-correcting. At worst, made SO much worse by trying to spend our way out of it.

Great post!!!!!!!!

Vote Libertarian, and be a real American!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd love going to some Libertarian rallys in my area. However, I don't really care for the ATF taking down my license plate number, and putting me on a watch list for expressing my dislike of current communist governing tactics in the US.

Next time one of you goes to a Libertarian rally, look around you. You're being watched... Sad times we live in!

Elect me, and their will be no IRS, DEA, Federal Reserve, or ATF. People are responsible for their actions, and the above four don't belong in the US!!!! Maybe in Cuba, or Venezuela. NOT the US!!!!!!!
