Who is going to be the next President?

We should:

1. Ban political coverage from television.

2. Make all ballots write-in only.

3. Outlaw lobbyism.

Someone add to this list of crazy.

Edit:

4. Euthanize Krayvok.

5. Put DrJonez on a treadmill and dangle a big mac in front of him.

They can all be bought. Again, they have A VESTED INTEREST in doing what the lobbyists want. It doesn't make them "corrupt." It makes them human.

Pretend that you work at McDonald's as a manager. Suppose a customer comes in an puts in an order for 100 hamburgers, and he wants tomatoes added. Normally this is $0.50 per burger, but he offers you $40 if you'll let him slide. Would you do it? As a manager, you have the power to make that call, but you're still costing your employer more money by allowing it. Does that make you corrupt?

Likewise, a politician has the authority to vote based on whichever way he chooses, and if he is being paid for his vote, then so be it. That doesn't change the fact that he is still acting in accordance to the system. He might cost us taxpayers more money, but I still wouldn't consider him corrupt. The lot of us would make the same decision if put in the same situation.

you sound like a politician trying to justify his existence.

A politician is a servant of the people and for the people..not the person...or the company, or the group. His job is to make decisions that benefit the whole, not an individual or sector, when he does that for personal gain, no matter how you slice it, he's corrupt.

Keep telling yourself that
 
Oh i know it wont change, but people have become so used to politicians fucking them raw, they believe that is the norm. If people dont like that it continues, they have the power to make it stop.
 
Michael Jackson his first order of business is to amend a law that allows pop stars to "sleep" with children.





R Kelly will be the VP.

Unfortunately, until the people of the country start caring more about how the country is run than when they will get the next shot of paris hilton's pussy, this won't change. we'll still have candidates that tell people what they want to hear right now, because they know that in a couple months, most people will either forget or want something different
 
I refuse to believe this country wants change or progress.

We're not going to have a woman, african-american or mormon. We're sticking with a rich, white, christian male or nothing.

And folks... "lobbyists" isnt a bad thing. It means ANYBODY can make a fuckin appointment with a Congressman and be heard. Sure, it can imply huge special interest groups but that's freedom and democracy.

Lobbying just means folks ORGANIZE to be heard.

That also means little groups, little people, etc. If americans did less fuckin whining about "government" and more engagement with their own government... realizing they ARE the government... then politicians would respond to a wider set of "interests."

If you dont vote, STFU.
If you have interests and dont try to be heard, STFU.

Welcome to reality. That's politics... and "lobbying" is part of democracy.
 
Hillary won't even crack 25% of the vote. Nobody right leaning will vote for her, and half of the left hates her. She doesn't even have the women vote because many don't respect how she handles Bill's treatment of their marriage. The republicans are fucking up though by not putting a moderate as their front runner early. The entire country is tired of the Bush administration, yet all the frontrunning candidates seem to want to continue his policies.
 
So all you political savvy peeps, why don't you post the pros and cons of each candidate here for the less savvy and maybe we'll all learn something.

Seriously? Who is going to be the next President? I (personally) don't pay attention to politics, but would like a quick revise on who winning this turtle race.

probably hillary (the democrat race is 99.9% sure thing)

mitt romney or guliani barring any major fuckups on the republican side

its 50/50 from primaries on (never trust current numbers for the climate in late 08 - it could be completely different)

the only way i can see democrats losing is a major strategical fuck up on their part, like the far left votes for a third party or something.
