Americans Are Sick to Death of Both Parties: Why Our Politics Is in Worse Shape Than We Thought

Hear, hear!!!

Besides. Our 1st Pres, George Washington explicitly warned us that this would happen, and begged us not to start factions; aka political parties.

The main goal in writing the US Constitution was to make it impossible for factions to arise and ruin democracy. Unfortunately, our Constitution was completely sold out, before the ink was even dry. As are many causes. Rebellions are always justified, but revolutions are always betrayed?

Political parties = a strategy for confusing, dividing and conquering an electorate. Factions.

How do YOU spell "Benedict Arnold?"

"Colonies do not cease to be colonies because they are independent." Benjamin Disraeli

Time for a new, non-party? Just vote on issues and a cascade of representatives? They don't have to be part of an avowed faction.

Ain't it the truth?  Quit arguing with your neighbors, and start opposing those few in the Upper Looting Class who want you sidetracked arguing with your neighbors and - you guessed it - divided & conquered.

Breathtaking New Plans Draining Out of Congress & Political Parties

Commentary by Roger Erickson

DoD comptroller outlines shutdown plans for work, pay, travel.

Any plans to shut down sentient thought in Congress? Not needed you say? It stopped long ago? So where's the savings?

Don't tell me the plan is now to "save" fiat by shutting down sentient thought in the entire electorate? Wow! Just imagine the savings!

The show must go on, but the crowd's getting restless, waiting for someone to YANK this act off stage. For Pete's sake! How long until the next act? I'd pay extra just for an emergency intermission where everyone just got to go home and get on with their lives for awhile!


ps: It's the stench, not the audacity that is breathtaking. At this rate we'll need a political dump pump to drain all the stupid out of Congress. One rated for sewage-grade dump! I can understand if people don't want these idiots in their local communities anymore, but can you all send them somewhere else besides Congress? Please? Surely the overflow isn't THAT large? If it is, will the last sentient voter please shut out the lights, so that the asocial zombie overflow will stumble around & fall into their own Super_Unfunded_Dump_Sites faster, and rid us of their stupidity? Otherwise, the Zombie_CrowdingOut_Principle will push US into their Luddite sewage.

ps: ps: Just what denomination of "savings" are we talking about here? Can voters please explain their terms? I'm no longer sure we speaking the same language, let alone employing the same semantics.
