go fishing, go golf, go do whatever you normally do, but, dude, the time for politicians like yourself was oh, 30 years ago? go start some auto franchises or something and do us all a big favor, whatdaya say there, Mitt my friend? Nothing personal, but let’s be real. You can’t beat Zero.
With due respect, who can?
He doesn’t want to beat Zero.
I am convinced, and no on here could sway me otherwise, that the presidency is gerrymandered like our congressional districts, with deals being made on who gets to run.
I have seen this over the years, and my own political, first hand experience here, has lead me to believe that for the most part, it is a one party system at the top. The lower down the food chain you get, the less likely this is true, such as municipal elections, but I am convinced, that the candidates are chosen, and the presidency is granted via a deal.
The candidate is chosen in a “bipartisan - reaching across the isle” fashion, and the other side just runs a lame duck, until the powers that be decide it is their turn to run a candidate, who in fact, is the same as the other one, just with a different D or R next to their name.
McCain had no chance in hell at winning. The RNC ran him knowing this, and they pushed him. They gave the presidency to the Dems, for some deal (and I’m not talking about a deal to help our nation) to protect themselves or something.
Now, Romney is going to be shoved down our throats, and in 2016, the dems will run some Dukakis against our appointed R candidate, most likely Jeb Bush or some other “maverick”.
I’m not saying that it is hopeless, I am saying that the one party system we have now has to go. We need a real 2 party system. No more “getting along” and deal making.
I don’t want candidates who cut deals. I don’t want a candidate who “reaches across the isle”. I don’t want a “unity candidate”. I don’t want a “big tent” party.
When you go around trying to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one.
For the most part, D or R, they all behave the same, and I’m afraid that in a few more years, those TEA party folks elected will behave just as badly as their counterparts, they will have been absorbed like the BORG, assimilated, and brainwashed into thinking that the most important thing in DC is “getting along”, and we’ll have to flush the toilet again.
I realize that this turd we have is a big turd, and it is going to take several, if not dozens of flushings to clean the toilet. Sure, we put clean water in, but it just ads to the mess and becomes dirty filthy stinking water in no time. We need to bring in the fire house, and blast the whole damn bathroom.
ROFLMFSWCAO!!!
