You know, because politicians and law makers still answered to the people. It wasn't until 1913 did congress ratify it into law. That would be the 63 congress a DEMOCRAT led congress (1912-15). TAX and SPEND liberalism isn't exclusive to our generations, they've always put themselves before the governed. It's not just limited to the Democrats. Watch the Republicans vote to raise the debt ceiling alongside the Dems the next time we reach it. Both parties have failed to reign in spending and there is no such thing as a balanced budget. We just slide deeper into debt no matter which clowns are running the circus. 4 Quote Link to comment

Yea we should be more like Canada where it doesn't matter who you vote for, the power is spread out and your country has no direction just the way the bureaucracy likes it and you have no clue who your leader may be till its Justin Trudeau 1 Quote Link to comment

flyerdan Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 The midterms, where to start... The cheat was in full force in PA and AZ, where they elected a dead man and a fucking caveman zombie that couldn't audition for The Walking Dead and pass muster, and voting machine jiggery-pokery so blatent it would even make KIllary blush. Just as I feared, Betsy managed to siphon off enough votes from Drazen that KateIII will probably skate in by just under 2%, where it's running now. Oh, and we're about 1% away from abolishing the second amendment here. They changed the rules so votes only have to be postmarked before tues to count, so they'll keep finding stragglers until they get the results they want. At least Florida did it right, Ron cleaned up all the voting fraud and had all the early stuff counted so when the polls closed it didn't take long to get results. 6 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 Well, you may be happy with the choice you have, (good for you!) but, some are not. What's the alternative? vote for the lesser of two evils?? 2 Quote Link to comment

I hope conservatives can put up a better nominee this time around. I'm hoping for DeSantis. Or of course, Maxine Waters would be good, too...

paradime Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 1992 Bush v Clinton, fellow Texan Ross Perot put a hurt on GW Sr, and secured nearly 19% of the vote as a 3rd party candidate. That had a HUGE effect on the election. Hell, Perot talked like a methed up dingbat, but voters were sick of the corrupt Washington shit show and wanted change. If someone half way presentable without a party muzzle showed up talking sense, all they'd need to get is 33.4% and it wound be fuck you Washington, no more business as usual. As weak as Biden is and Trumpism dividing the Republican party, who knows, 2024 could be the year. Shit, I'd vote for a 3rd party candidate with armpit farting skills just to send a message. 4 Quote Link to comment
