I'm hoping for SHTF 2014 to solidify my plans.

If all you're going to do is bemoan the loss of the nation to unchallenged fascists, why bother posting? You've better ways to spend your time than be here.

If everyone's a liar, the why are you voting for them?

I vote against the ones I consider to be the most dangerous to my country.
I almost never vote "for" any politician.

Ah yes... the lesser evil argument. Too bad it happens to be the ultimate reason people do get elected.

so if I did not vote neither one would be elected?

We are presented with such piss poor choices from both sides...

You mean mandatory reductions in the rate at which spending will increase?

Why, our great Congresspeople are working overtime as we speak to make sure those cuts never take place.

The Rethugs are SO serious about cutting the debt. Right up til the time when they have a chance to cut the deficit. Then they get all squirly and weird.

Is that statement meant to suggest the Dems are serious about cutting the debt or even reducing the deficit. Hell, are they serious about not INCREASING spending?

The answer is clear. Both parties spend money we don't have.
