These Rotting threads that clog up this fantastic and innovative site with the same repetitive tripe and mud slinging is beyond a joke.

If they don't, call their office and register a complaint, Some of them still listen.

And what do you do if they don't "listen" anymore?
What do you do when they don't "listen" to your complaint?
Your last line of defense is calling their office and complaining?
Yes, well, I can see that tactic has worked so well with all the other corrupt criminals in "office".
C'mon man, how can you say that your vote still counts for the smaller guys?
The second they are in a position of power, they either meld into the fold or resist and don't get a say in anything.

Yep, and it was done in a "frog in the slowly boiling pot of water" style. Many of these security laws were passed even before the heat was cranked up by 9-11. Cameras everywhere, only for red light runners, and traffic control of course, right? We'll never use them for other purposes. Another example would be those easy pass toll cards, or whatever they call them, for getting through toll roads quicker...Those will never be used for other purposes..right?
Or your SS number...no one will ever ask for that number..It's only for use after you reach a certain age. Now, it might a well be a tattoo on your forehead.
Those are just simple examples, but we let this happen, one nibble at a time...And now there is a big bite out of our personal sandwich.

Exactly right... now there is a big bite out of our collective sandwich and who the hell do you suppose took that bite?....
Thats right.. your friendly neighborhood politician did. He did so by supporting the status quo, by joining the problem not walking away from it.
You cant change the system from within. It will change YOU!!
The EGO might try to convince you otherwise but its a pipe dream. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. I have yet to see an example of this NOT happening so excuse me if I dont buy into the BS that is Politics, local or federal.

I am sick of the politicians getting the blame for the direction this country is headed toward.... Guess what, the American people voted for these scum bags, but don't want to admit that they helped cause the problems we're having now....... Just look at the idiots voting Obama/Romney.... They literally have no idea about their policies or agendas but love being lied to because it makes them feel good....

These Rotting threads that clog up this fantastic and innovative site with the same repetitive tripe and mud slinging is beyond a joke. I know the site owners dont give a crap of as long as people keep coming here by the droves so that they can get paid for the advertising and I say why should they. they are providing the platform and look at what we are doing with it. Typical humans, give them a highly complex machine capable of amazing feats of discovery and watch them bash walnuts open with it.
The fact that all political parties are rotten to the core and dont give a dam about the average citizen seems to be lost on these collective geniuses. No, they are quite content in the delusion that THIS time the people they elect will actually do what they PROMISED they would do BEFORE they were elected....THIS TIME FOR SURE...
Some of you clowns deserve every bit of the suffering you endure at your own ineptitude. I feel no sympathy nor pity for you. Who I do sympathize and pity are people like myself who are dragged kicking and screaming along for the ride because the majority are too stupid to realize the real power they have as a conglomerate.
You brainless zombies blindly following illusionary political ideals are a cancer on society. And I for one look forward to the day when you wake up on your hands and knees crying to your so called leaders asking them why they have forsaken you.

So what are you doing that is so special to change the system that we should pay attention to anything you say?
