Jim Crow was never the law of the land.

And Obamacare isn't tyrannical, nor is it oppressive.

If you think it's a bad law, then i'm sure a case can be made. Make it without hyperbole.

This isn't in question, it's public record and acknowledged by the GOP.

Either you are dead wrong, are they are the dumbest people on the planet.

Both.

I filled out a form online (NY state) and mailed it to the Voter's Registration Board of the county courthouse. NO PARTY was one of the choices.

I heard on the Radio this morning, that even though Ted Cruz will run, they will sabotage him, like they did Herman Cain to get him out of the running...they don't want anyone in that will work for the people....very sick of it....

I really hope people are becoming more aware of things and moving in this direction.

The truth is there is not a single high-ranking politician (anyone at the national level or with national level aspirations) who is a Democrat or Republican who does, will, or has the intention of, working for We The People.

Everyone of them, Dem and Repub alike, is bought, sold and owned by special interests: private defense contractors, multinational CEOs, heads of global banks and energy concerns and, of course, lobbyists.

THESE are the people who run our government, because they buy our politicians and then tell them what to do. It's gotten to the point that legislation is being drafted BY private corporations which entail the handing out of contracts and such TO specific corporations and contractors.

One party is just as bad as the other, and anyone who can't see this or refuses to acknowledge it is a blind, hypocritical partisan hack imbecile.

No reasonable person should ever vote for a Democrat OR a Republican for any national office ever.

Mitt lost because he is nothing more than a gun grabber from Mass... Your fool in the WH is a looser because he is a gun grabbers right out of spending money, which made the news long before this thread came out.

Just let me know when spending your way to prosperity really works.... more so considering what so called money IS these days. I see now why congress got of of the printing fake pretend money. That was called 'United States Note'. My best guess is congress back then FEARED getting caught with their fingers in the cookie jar.

But now of course while i don't 'KNOW IT' I'ld bet there is no gold in Ft Knox too, because 'we' have been had...

The feds didn't have enough MONEY I guess to Spend their way into prosperity, and the people are getting sick of floating them loans.... So is Germany and China. Maybe try asking Putin huh?

You are absolutely correct....I cannot for the life of me, fathom, that other people refuse to see this? It's like they are so blind, and defined by their political party, and when ever someone does run, that would work for the people, you watch, in 2016, they will sabotage the candidate, via media!!! It is pathetic that more american's are unable to walk up....

thank you for your post...very wise and accurate!
