No matter what politician you put in charge, they all have the same motivation. Wave a dollar in front of them and watch em dance around like a puppy after a fresh cut of meat.  They will do anything you want for that dollar/cut of meat.

There is not a politcian anywhere who is not acting on his/her own behalf.  If it happens to make people happy, that is just a side benefit.


That pretty much sums it up.  TO go a bit off topic, its not beyond the stretch of imagination to predict some corporations actually aspire to place their 'people' in strategic positions, for the sole purpose of furthering the monetary goals of that organization.

The state has become very tyrannical when it has control over the children, and not the parents.

The parents do not want to be in control.  They want the state to take care of raising thier kids, so they (the parents) can be friends with thier kids.

Everything seems to be happening the way we (collectively) want it to happen.

The politicians let us rant and rave about it, as they know that is as far as it will ever go, and why should they care?  Next week we will be right behind them licking thier butts.

And before anyone says, "speak for yourself", go look in a mirror and ask the folloiwing question, "What have I actually done, besides voting, to try and make it better?".

If the best you got is, "I rant and rave on a bulletin board!", then you got nothing.  Go to the back of the room and allow folks to get to the front who are actually trying to make a difference.

Skuzzy, speaking of walking the walk, I have something that might be of use to you and/or your plan for a neutral medium to set politicians' words in stone.. but it could be a few months before I can introduce you to it.
Can I PM you once it's ready?

Sure moot.  I am still thinking this one over.  I really would like to have it all up and running for the 2008 election.  Would be a good kickoff for it.

Time is my nemisis.

Still, one can do what they are in a position to do.  Knowledge and truth are the enemy of corruption.  Looking the other way only serves to embolden the corruption.

This is in response to the liberal whine machine.  Don't think that just because someone is a dem or rep , they are doing the right or wrong thing.  They may be folding under pressure or 'making a statement' for the other team to alleviate other pressures.

This is a wag the dog...sorta.  More to this story bigtime!

The vacinations aside, him recieving money from the corporation to me isn't much at all.  $6K is the max donation I beleive he can recieve from them.  I wouldn't be surprised if the drug maker contributed that amount to a bunch more politicans on both sides of the isle.

His frmr cheif of staff workin for them is another story.  That's kinda fishy.
