I see you would rather plunge head long into European socialism. Maybe if we do it really fast it will work better? Not.

Sometimes helping is to not participate in unhealthy behavior and trying to point out what behavior might be a little more healty. Our government is, at present, unhealthy.
I wish that's what the Republicans were doing.
Why must it always be "the Repiblicans" or The Democrats" are doing this or that. Speak up and let the politicians know what you are discuoraged about. They might listen. "The People" ahould be able to voice themselves enough to influence our Representatives and Senators. Is is not nearly as difficult to communicate with them as it used to be. Talk to these politicians after they get elected and quit putting the blame on something or someone else. .(Use the links in my signature,it is easy)
Speak up in these threads about what you belive instead of wasting time with blame and accusations. If you think you don't know enough to make a difference, educate yourself. You are on the internet or you would not be reading this. The internet has enough information for you to get educated in anything you choose

Yeah I'll just go and write a letter to my Congressman and Senators. I just love getting those form letters in response.

Then don't. But quit complaing about what someone else is doing if you will not do for youself.

I'm sorry, I'm not a Congressman or a Senator. I don't get to go to Washington and decide to vote against increasing the size of government. Unfortunately I've got to put up with my useless "representatives." It has nothing to do with complaining about something I won't do, it's complaining about that which I can't do anything about. The Republicans are no better than the Democrats, and they're only marginally better right now because they're out of power. Once they take over the Democrats will likely be marginally better once again.

I message myself to my Senators regularly. Especially the one that is not of my preferred party. I advise them on what I want them to do. We sent them there to represent us. I am not willing to just let them do anything they want, now that they are there. I will let them know when I am pleased or displeased. You would be surprised how good it feels even if they don't seem to listen. At least they know what the "folks back home" are thinking.

That's nice. I personally don't get a warm fuzzy feeling when writing to the criminals that purport to represent me. Even less so when I receive the form letter written by some junior staffer who just copied and pasted my name into the salutation.

OK, I concede, Maybe I don't want you to write to your politicians. What would one expect from someone who says in their signature that the Constitution of The United States is "unfit to exist".
Go about your chaotic way and have a good day, if you so desire. If not have a bad day. It is your choice.
Welcome MC.
They claim government doesn't work and then get elected and prove it.
Thanks Truth. Good to find another decent political forum. They are harder to come by these days.
Per your comment above the Teapublican Party these days: their hypocrisy is incredible. They really have brainwashed those who are too lazy to think for themselves, and who would rather Faux News and Rush think for them. As you so aptly state, "They claim government doesn't work and then get elected and prove it". I used to be a proud registered Republican in the 1980s and early 90s, but after Newt and his Contract on America, I found myself left of a center that was in flux after 1994. As an Independent non-party affiliate, I have been able to see the big picture and become more objective with my views. I held out hope for the GOP by voting for what I thought would be a compassionate Conservative in the Whitehouse, only to become more and more ostracized from the GOP with my moderate views. It is posts like from CaliGirl that continue to reinforce why I must remain independent in thought, and avoid the trappings of Political Party Sheep Herding.
Keep up the good fight, my fellow American, and remember that the Silent Majority has yet to awaken to the disaster the GOP has brought upon America in recent years

It's obvious you don't understand the quote in my signature, especially since you focused on the very last part of it.

If you care to discuss it.
In recent polls, an overwhelming 68% of the American public wanted a compromise on the debt ceiling. Break down those numbers by party, however, and a different picture emerges. 81% of Democrats want a compromise compared to only 53% of Republicans. Even more strikingly, 53% of the Tea Party oppose a settlement compared to 42% who favor it. The Tea Party, in opposition to the majority of the country, the majority of the Republican electorate and the weight of professional opinion, takes the my-way-or-the-high-way approach. What is going on?
The short answer is that the Republican leadership, in general, and the Tea Party, in particular, is designed to be a party of extremists. That is, the modern Republican party is built on its appeal to those most likely to see the world in black and white. Giving power to the true believers of any stripe is dangerous, and the this makes visible a decades long process that increases the risk that the country will become ungovernable.

Thank you for the invite but I choose not to debate with someone bases things on assumptions and has developed a defeatest attitude. Lets just scrap the whole idea of government as we know it and become anarchists is what I get from your comments.
they are extremists and pretending they are not is jsut insane
