Politicians, just by virtue of being voted into office, cause upheaval among the oppositional group. There was a lot of noise from liberals when Bush came into office, and there was a lot of noise from conservatives when Obama was elected into office.



Yeah, and a lot of Americans were terrified of where our country was going during the 8 years of Bush. That's not saying much. People who oppose a leader or an administration will always be in fear of where the country is going while that administration holds power.

Sounds like nothing more than a bunch of observations of what happens during any political climate shift to me.

I do agree with much of what you are saying however I think this time it's is a slight bit more than that with all of the Dems that are quitting.

They call it "retiring." Sure. Whatever works.
 
For all I know the voting system could easily be rigged. I propose we establish the votes to go on live. Millions of people could line up on national television from the town halls in their own states and see the number of votes being counted. Those who want to be anonymous can have their names and faces blurred but have their private number displayed on TV to know their vote counts. Then everyone can keep track of the votes all over America say, via Youtube. What do you think?
 
They knew they would be beat. So they had to "retire."

heh..

Ok I read your link but it confused the hell out of me. So I did some looking around and found this The Electoral College vs. the Popular Vote. I guess both ways are flawed but I see how the popular vote is more flawed.

In a nutshell, it says that in a pure democracy, majority factions tend to rise up and take away the rights of the minority. It's sometimes referred to as "tyranny of the majority" and it's what leads to the collapse of democratic governments. He argues that in a republican form of government (like ours), it's more difficult for any particular faction to reach a majority that can act as a collective tyrant, so it's bound to be more stable.

It's not old English, but they did have a different writing style back then that takes some getting used to.
 
My Dummy

I am 50, but I love to suck on my dummy:lol:.

I first got a dummy in 2008 as I was going through stressfull divorce and could not sleep. I had tryed my thumb and my bedding, but did not like eather in my mouth.

I got myself a babies dummy and slept well.

I am now hooked on my dummy and also use it when awake. Anytime I am on my own.

I would love to suck my dummy in public and even at work.
 
I think we got some sick puppy spammer here.

"Dummy" is same as pacifier in Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand. Perhaps that is what she means.

Yep...it's a pacifier....she probably by now has "prune lips" from all that "sucking"....needs to see Dr. Phil.
 
Every now and then we need someone like osama in charge to knock some sense into people. Lets just hope the mess he is making won't be too hard to fix.

ps - no vote in 2010 was a vote for obama.
 
Obama

Agree. I have always believed there is a silent majority out there in the wings. I also believe that if our electoral process was fixed you would have a much higher voter turnout.
