Our 2-party political system keeps us on opposite sides of the fence...It keeps us split right down the middle and at each other's "throats."...Elections are like "sport's games" today with each side trying to be the "winning team." And the "winner" wants to "take all" and "rule all" and be in complete control...Each side wants to "force their will" on the other "half."...We can't go forward as a nation and solve our problems if we're stuck in silly and childish "tug of wars!"...Most parents tell their kids that they have to learn how to share and compromise and "get along" with their brothers and sisters and friends. This is all part of the socialization process when we are growing up. But yet so many adults feel entitled to behave and act like little kids today when it comes to politics and some of their other beliefs...The notion of "being in it together" and compromising is such a "no-no" and foreign concept today. Taking time to listen...Looking at "all sides" to each issue seems like a stupid thing to do. Nobody wants to risk "handing amunition" over to the other side. It's a "me, me, me" and "my way or the highway" or "my way or else" type of world today! And this is sad! And tragic and dangerous!...We've become "cannibals" bent on having and "winning" our own "way" at all costs! And this is what makes us "easy prey" for corrupt politicians who have a vested interest in keeping us "divided." We become "pawns" and "putty" in their "hands."
Does anyone think that the two largest gangs in the country (bloods/crips) share the same colors as the only two political gangs (refuticans/dumbocrats) did not happen by chance?
So now that we (well most of us) has identified the flaws within the tea party and it's benefactor the Koch brothers what do you plan on doing about it?
Here are a few suggestions: Boycott anything that they make which is ironically toilet paper and confront anyone claiming to be a tea party and ask them "what are you doing to clear your movement of the tea baggers? If they don't know the difference then they are probably a tea bagger themselves. Contact you congressperson and representatives and find out EXACTLY where they stand on social programs and vote accordingly.
People realize this, the mainstream media is not the friend of truth in America! Seek information from outside of the country in different mediums. Every country can't be lying, and compare information

If the Koch brothers are involved, so what? Are you planning on boycotting everything Soros has his tentacles into? If not, that makes you a hypocrite.
I was in Europe recently, and without provocation, an older German tourist, probably the son of a Nazi, said: "I never thought I'd see something like the Tea Party in America."
Yes indeed I said, a national embarrassment they are.

Money should be taken out of politics. We can debate the issue of which agenda is most negative or positive for the country as a whole, for hours on end, but advocating for Campaign Finance Reform is literally a no brainer...wouldn't you agree?
Why don't you try answering the simple couple of questions asked and prove how much Pelosi you can share with the readers here?

I have been away too long so don't even know the questions you refer to here. Let me know what they are and I will make an attempt. However, when you ask Kos generated questions I doubt I can handle it.

Finally we agree about something!!!
Now which presidential candidate refused to use federal funds in 2008? A hint, it wasn't McCain.

If they are going against what I believe in, why would'nt I

Not at the top of my list, there are always tricks they will use. Corruption is rampant, we need to drain the swamp and start over with the Tea Party candidates. Look for honest, straight talk. I would like to see strict term limits, and our rulers have to abide by the same rules they apply to us. No bills longer than 30 pages. Once they are 30 pages, we can stop electing lawyers. Bring back the line-item veto.
Ron Paul is running a transparent grassroots campaign. The money is out in the open. It's not about the laws we pass to force them to be honest, it's about the integrity of the candidate himself. Choose wisely.
