Amen to that! I wonder if all the factions will figure that out before its too late. :

It's illogical for the two people in the boat to start leaning to one side and then the other continuously. Sooner or later the boat will flip over and sink into the drink. This is how it seems these days in the American electorate.
All of one sides ideas or all of the other sides ideas is simply not the answer. Also, sending people who live on the very edge of the political spectrum (either right or left) is not the answer because there is no reason or compromise. Just a mantra.

I think "extreme politics" is making a lot of noise, but it doesn't change the facts or the course. Lots of extremists yelling that Obama is a "Communist" when truth be told he doesn't look very different to me than did G.W. Bush. Who in all honesty did not look that different than Clinton.
Same with the Congress.
That's not to say we aren't changing courses. We are. We are moving in a direction of globalized jobs, income inequality, resource wars in the Middle East and elsewhere, and a loss of privacy and freedom.
But we seem to be drifting steadily in those directions no matter whom is elected to office.
My question is, if the voters aren't pulling the strings, who is?

With the full cooperation of the corrupt Political Class (tm)... which is made up of most of our federal, state and local politicians. The real 1 percent is everyone connected with this political class... it doesn't matter if they are a 28 thousand a year councilman or a multi-millionaire member of Congress... a local construction company or a Wall Street bank.
Being new to 285 bound I have a couple of questions. Why is LadyJazzer a prostitute for the democratic party? And is that picture of LadyJazzer or a guy?
