Cutting is all good until it hits your district and you have to explain it.

Getting the same ''contribution'' from big corporations than the others had before.

Waiting to see if Montana tells the SCOTUS to jump off a tall bridge... probably the most damning piece of evidence the court is bought and paid for by the "new aristocracy".

Ignoring states rights, ignoring the immediate fallout of Citizens United, ignoring... well, everyone except their masters...

It's official, we're in a plutocracy. Well, it's been evident anyway for some time though.

If you have to practice, then clearly you're an usuper and they have no need for you. For your insolence, prepare yourself for the mines.

Can I contract you to build a harem of lolis for me?

You know, given my family line, I can provide "removal" and "cleaning" services.

And let the Yellow Peril begin.

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.

Make your bets, when will the first (yet far from the last) time the departament of commerce will take down a website for showing uncomfortable goverment truths, will it be in a month, a year or sometime in between?

Technically yes, they ran with money from a sinking ship (last dynasty of China) rather than be lynched for being a member of the royalist faction. Then again, the 1% you serve only makes up a small percentage of the population - when anger boils over, they will be running.......from another sinking ship.

I doubt than it would be legal anywhere.
Tolerated, maybe, but not without some heavy protections ( money) .

A couple of weeks ago, someone posted two videos and said it shows the GOP is purposely trying to tank the US economy all in an effort to make Obama a one term president. Is that true? Could anyone post those videos again? Also, how could they hurt the economy? I know they can and I don't doubt they have been, but how do they go about doing that since they aren't the ruling party?

I totally believe it to be true since they have been negatively affecting America and it's citizens since 2009 just so they can attempt making Obama a one-term president.

In layman terms (I am sure Vexx can give a detailed explanation): The car (the economy) needs fixing, but the mechanics in control of tinkering with the motor (the congress) are against any changes (repairs), meanwhile they are tinkering with the paint and other "pretty" but useless things, the car keeps running with the motor in a bad condition, mechanics are waiting for it to explode to change the driver (the president).

Obama prepping thousands of lawyers for election
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories...06-26-21-33-06
Quote:
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) -- President Barack Obama's campaign has recruited a legion of lawyers to be on standby for this year's election as legal disputes surrounding the voting process escalate.

Thousands of attorneys and support staffers have agreed to aid in the effort, providing a mass of legal support that appears to be unrivaled by Republicans or precedent. Obama's campaign says it is particularly concerned about the implementation of new voter ID laws across the country, the possibility of anti-fraud activists challenging legitimate voters and the handling of voter registrations in the most competitive states.

I'm hilariously tempted to vote Romney. He's clearly an agent of chaos, what with his glorious wishy-washy stance on, well, everything. However is he chaotic good or evil? We'd clash were he good.

The next president will probably be appointing 3-4 Supreme Court justices which could drastically affect life for the next 30 years. Choose carefully
