Man: Ah...sounds like the newspaper has arrived.
Woman: Nothing like a quiet Sunday morning to ease into the week.
Man: Sigh. I forgot, this is an election year.
Woman: Hmmm, that'd explain why so many people laughed when I said Happy New Year.

It’s “mid terms” year, and the idiots are still focused on nearly three years away. BAN campaigning, or FUND RAISING until the a month before primaries, in the LAST state holding them in the year of the election!

The only good politician is a dead politician, dont believe me huh? Ask any politician what he thinks of one of them who just passed away and they invariably say “What a great person he/she was” no matter what they said about him/her beforehand. Ergo, the only good politician is a dead politician.

The political system has created the rampant apathy. Voters know that win or lose the lawyers get rich. And the politicians are all lawyers (save a few).

Campaign finance reform (make it public), serious limitations on lobbying, and giving air time (and credence) to ALL the other choices out there would be nice…

“If you can’t say anything nice…don’t say anything at all!” This is how my mother said we should behave as children… Hell, I can’t think of anything nice to say about anybody in politics.

Like Diogenes searching for an honest man. the light is cast in vain. Where ever the light shines, it does not find beauty or truth. It finds something to dazzle and distract the new holder of the light with alluring images and mesmerizing light patterns of light that comfort but do not strengthen nor give substance to the soul.

Obama supporters are the worst, in short he spent his first term blaming the previous admin ,while re writing his version of our history, to make sure he is remembered as “the good guy”, trouble is only those who were here before he came on to the scene will remember what America looked like before his time.

I’m old enough to remember when the parties actually took time off from the b.s.ing to work together and get things done between elections. (Yes this really did happen!)Who can tell when it’s an election year anymore? The right-wing haters never pause to catch their breaths, blaming Obama for everything from the Target hacking to burned toast.

Also, no pensions for anyone in elective office. They should pay Social Security [FICA] tax out of their pay, which would be set by the voters.

-The trouble with that, of course, is that the lesser of two evils is still evil.
-Excellent point! Thanks for reminding us!

Once upon a time we used to be offered a coiceof evils, of which one could be seen as thelesser. This has not been true for the last sixtyyears: all the “choices” we are offered are asbad as each other. There is no longer a “lesser” evil on offer.
watmiwori almost 11 years ago
See my earlier reply to ldmff. There is no longera “lesser” evil offered us. Everyone is as bad asevery other one.
