Look for and vote for the guy with no money. The guy that doesn't want the job is the most qualified. The guy that does want the job, put him in a straitjacket and lock him up in the rubber room. The same goes for anybody who re-ups in the military.
Easy to do when you know it will pass anyway. This way you can look like a hero without rocking the boat. It's bullshit, and both republicans and democrats are equally full of it. Again the 'rotating villain' applies here. That's how the game is played. The democrats certainly have no moral high ground here. They were solidly in charge of congress in '08 and all the old policies remained solidly intact. And what do the idiot voters do in response? Vote republican again! It's a regular seesaw. It's tag team wrestling. Back and forth it goes.
The real IT guy was fired and replaced with a mid level sales manager. Anonymous submitter for a reason. And maybe they sell Christmas tree light timers and happened to have a few lying around.
One of the guys, a senator from Illinois, promised to end things like warrantless wiretapping, torture, wars on whistleblowers, etc, if he was elected.
And you believed him? Did you ever look a little deeper than what he broadcast on the TV? Did you check his voting record in the senate? Doesn't sound like it. Did you ever suspect anything fishy about his alliance with Lieberman? If not, that's too bad. You might have seen a little more clearly through the facade. Personally I would hope that all of you would understand you don't get close to power without being a corrupt bastard. Regardless of any of these peoples' promises, you should always check to see what they do, not what they say. I was dead set against him in '08, and so far all my suspicions have been confirmed. To vote democrat/republican is absurdly wishful thinking that anything will change, and it has been that way since at least the 1870s.
Unless you're one of the 1.5% of the people didn't vote for a republican/democrat, STFU! You voted for this at least six times since it was officially made legal. And no doubt you will approve again in the next election.
The NSA will do what it wants, and that's that. Discussing the law is mental masturbation. If you want it to stop, you know what you have to do. Since I don't see any progress on our part, all this talk about crimes committed by the authorities is in an infinite loop, with the same thing being said over and over.
At least try to vote the bums out to see if they will vacate the office peacefully.
Well, technically a diesel doesn't require electricity for its nonexistent spark plugs, so that might work out for them. But to be a hundred percent legit it should be mechanically connected to the pumps to avoid using a generator.
Of course with the 'blessing' of the government. It exists to serve. And we we'll never know if we are stuck with these politicians until we at least make a feeble effort to vote them out. The ball is in our court, and so far we have dropped it every time.
No, the state belongs to and is part of the corporation. It was set up by the corporation for the corporation.
I meant a time when non-state actors are more powerful than governments.
*cough* Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Bayer, Monsanto, Nestle, BP, Shell Oil, IBM, AT&T, Union Carbide (they still around?)... Need I go on? These are the people who make the rules for the state to enforce.
There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels. It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today!...There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.
At least the non-governmental fat cats got hold of the money themselves, rather than using my tax money to fund their lifestyles.
The hell they did. They're stealing the money out of your bank account as we speak. Then there's all those nice subsidies they receive courtesy our tax dollars (euros). The "non-governmental" fat cats are using the government to do it. Since they own the government, I guess we shouldn't expect anything less from them.
...I can imagine a world when governments lose power with the loss of sovereignity and disappearance of borders, to be replaced with power blocks that hold no real allegiance to geography. Most likely a return to things like city-states, fiefdoms, corporations big enough to have armies and enough population to qualify as states in their own right.
You don't have to imagine. We're there already. It is corporations and pirates that create and destroy governments now. In the most basic sense, it has always been that way.

Then the terrorist have already won.

We masturbate over Sarah Palin because she's a MILF. It never went beyond that.

How does the OP have a job?
The real IT guy was fired and replaced with a mid level sales manager. Anonymous submitter for a reason. And maybe they sell Christmas tree light timers and happened to have a few lying around.
How do you know?
Shouldn't you? Kind of jumping the gun, no?

FTA:
If we continue to permit this, the ultimate fault and blame will not be with our government or our leaders, but rather with ourselves.
However, it's not a future problem anymore. We already are to blame.
Oh wait, I apologize for being so harsh. What I meant to say was, you have the right to remain silent. Please make the most of it. Thank you very much

Oh! How I wish some people would use that right... If you get my drift...
Make the internet censorproof and impossible to shut down... Fuck da Polizei!
all I see is a two party system...
Take off the cheap sunglasses, and look beyond what's on the TV. Only then will you see the great abundance that surrounds us all.

The major power is still with states.
No, the state belongs to and is part of the corporation. It was set up by the corporation for the corporation.

...oh no, we lost some of our sovereignty, we're less British now.
I'll believe that when they learn how to cook... or produce a motorcycle that doesn't leak oil all over your driveway.

Yes. All you have to do is to vote for politicians that will implement it.
Tuesday was two days ago.
No, we haven't been surprised for a very long time. You can stop asking that question now
You are replaceable. You are not unique.
You are a fluke of the universe. You have no right to be here.....
Your keystrokes don't go "elsewhere". It's just as easy to catch them at the other end, or in the middle, as the case may be.
