The co-opting of christians for the benefit of wealthy elites technically should never work as jesus had absolutely no love for the connected wealthy and money changers. In the end, it cost him his life. He did mention something to the effect how it will be easier to fit camel through the eye of the needle than for a rich person to get into heaven. Now we can debate literal/symbolic meaning of this, but it's nonetheless ironic how christianity has been coopted by the wealthy elites in united states to completely invert the message. But then again, so has buddhism with concepts of "mindfulness, paying attentiong and being present in the moment."

Arguing over which party is best is like arguing about which slaver beats you less. They clearly both suck, are clearly both owned by the wealthy, and neither represent the people in any sense.
There's one problem with America. We have completely lost control of our government.

We have completely lost control of our government.
Yes because clearly we are standing in lines for bread, being herded up for concentration camps, and beaten with hoses for say Obama is not our Exalted Leader. Truly this is just like Soviet Russia!
Claiming both sides are corrupted and all government is bad, is just a page the GOTP fringes ripped from Glibertopainism.

I say everyone should vote for the person they never heard of on every ballot this year.
There's way too much interest and money being spent on informing and educating everyone on who to vote for or who NOT to vote for. I say vote for the unknown. If he was important enough to be ignored by the media and too small to even register in the political noise then that is probably the best candidate for any post.

Just because they've stolen away control doesn't mean they want to make that fact obvious! That wouldn't be nearly Machiavellian enough to hold on to power. If they made it so obvious that EVERY dipshit in America could clearly see it, they'd lose power again.
On an aside, I'm glad you're not in charge Vicente, if those are the first things you could think of doing to the people.

Tell me anything that you hate about Republicans the most.
No sense of humor about themselves, or anything else.
I believe my anger is properly placed. I direct it at the dems, because, if we all know that the republicans are the evil within, then the dems are the ultimate failrue for not ever offering anything of value as a counter.
Why else do you thi.nk it is that all the dem voter can ever do is bash palin and bush, joke about benghazi, and scream racism at any of the few remaining rational folk amongst us that point out all of ppaca/heritagefoundationcare failing?
If they had a point worth making, or a candidate worth backing, they would have done it by now, no?
The republicans are evil and worthless, and the dems are even more so

Bitcoins' point is well taken.
I have only slightly higher regard for Rs than Ds.
The lesson of the ages that most do not get is that conflict is caused, ALWAYS.
It is caused by those who benefit from conflict. Defense contractors, banks, politicians (most deified politicians, were deified because of war).
In this particular flavor of conflict it is politicians and lobbyists.
The back and forth between Ds and Rs is a waste of time.
Politicians ONLY care about reelection period. They get this by contributions. Until the citizens blow through this ether and TAKE responsibility for their current situation NOTHING will change, if not already too late.

How about we gang up on the I's then?
Fresh meat!

Especially any of his political rivals.
And I will provide you with something Obama or his merry band of Crooks in the Senate hasn't already done since him entering in office.
Care to take the challenge?
