So your happy with a place holder or a bookend or a paperweight. I doubt they will see it that way and want to fine tune it to destruction.

But if you manage to get the wealth that you desire I'm happy for you. I just don't think you will elect someone who will sit around winding their watch waiting for 2016.
Obama isnt going to let a dam thing go through passed by Congress if the Republicans take over the Senate.. He'll be crybaby obama until his lame duck term is out.

Your absolutely correct. They have been flipping back and forth as the obstruction party sense P. Clinton was elected.

This thread is biased. 70% of Americans are angry about the direction of the country. Since legal, documented Americans probably make up 80% of our population, there's still another 20% left to be angry they don't have a high enough minimum wage, don't have enough of their cousins here, etc.

CNN poll: Voters are angry - CNN.com

"Washington (CNN) -- Nearly 7 in 10 Americans are angry at the direction the country is headed and 53% of Americans disapprove of President Barack Obama's job performance, two troubling signs for Democrats one week before the midterm elections, a new CNN/ORC International Poll shows."

Not good numbers for dems going into midterms.

What is the case to keep them in power? You are angry about the direction of the country but vote for us, war on women, racist GOP, whatever.
They're not "IN POWER", "They" are.

Voting won't help you. Only an act of Almighty God can save us from who we are entrapped by. It will happen but the when is impossible to know.

You think the billionaires who finance both parties are opposed to unlimited immigration?

Parties get people divided by propaganda that conveniences them, by some of the most outrages lies, or stupid policy, and then claim GOP/DEM will benefit in their personal greed over the other fools. Two parties motivated by greed each is supposed to convince them of their superior claim. Which in fact cements them both in the concrete of fools. To argue who is the most noble liar worth of support as they shake your hand and pick your pocket clean is the best we can do. WOW Lets all be proud. And I call BS on that.
No one in a position of power cares if you vote. And they want you to be 'an independent'. That way, you have no power to select a nominee in the primary, and they can just mouthe words at you a couple weeks prior to the election, to think of you no more until a couple weeks before the next election.

Speaking of immigration, just by accident came across these mass protests against muslim immigration in Germany:

Anti-Islamic

Haven't seen this covered in the US.

The elites cannot be happy with this - which is probably why they have been stepping up the mass immigration from third world countries to Europe and the US.

Because they had to. That was what working conditions were and if you wanted work you did it. Today's society would stagnate and die for lack of knowledge of mere rudimentary day to day living skills.
What we take for granted is a 40 hour work week; Mon-Fri 8-4. That is a relatively modern phenomenon brought about by unions. If you are left to your own and need to eat you will work to do so. Do you want a roof over your head? Maybe a bed? The more you work the nicer you can eat and sleep.

We were a 1st world nation back then and what woes there were. People were still immigrating here in droves from Europe. Most of them assimilated and made something of themselves; their prodigy live on. We still endure horrid 1st world woes.
