I think it is incredibly interesting that american "commoners" continue to pull the lever for the millionaires as their "representatives" when many of the Corzine/Bloomberg ilk have long since forgotten what its like to live paycheck-to-paycheck. A proportionate amount of blame should be attributed to an ill-informed indifferent electorate, but it is hard to care when you feel like you're going to get fucked by whomever is in office and you have to worry about the bank foreclosing on your house. Certainly the tenor of campaign rhetoric and the time required just to compete in the "money primary" keep most good people away. <br /><br />Now, if we wanted to examine judicial selection/election, we could really disgust ourselves...<br /><br />MNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234507671804682977.post-56350863262839647242009-11-06T03:39:10.644-05:002009-11-06T03:39:10.644-05:00I know I'd be reaching, but how about abolishi...I know I'd be reaching, but how about abolishing political parties? I hate them at this point. Progress gets impeded by people saying one thing during the election process, but then having to walk the party line so you can have funding for re-election. Disgusting.<br /><br />Probably too much to ask. So how about this? Term limits on everything. No loopholes. Then at least people would be slightly less for sale.<br /><br />- EricAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234507671804682977.post-23484692060293927582009-11-05T13:26:31.276-05:002009-11-05T13:26:31.276-05:00Me thinks you need your own talk-show and you coul...Me thinks you need your own talk-show and you could call it "The Nolan Report" or "Megharita & Friends"...<br /><br />I'd watch!Francenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234507671804682977.post-64673870725664832802009-11-04T15:32:01.815-05:002009-11-04T15:32:01.815-05:00I still get mad when I think of those Oswego stude...I still get mad when I think of those Oswego student elections - what a farce, and it was all allowed to happen just to get the results some of the groups were aiming to get and have the people that liked them the most get in charge, all because the loudest voices yelling got things to happen. The political scene on that campus made ME want to turn into a media political mouthpiece, thankfully I was graduating the year that crap went down.Hockey Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12060395164873365164noreply@blogger.com
