Hope, Change and The Long Road: One Year Later

Commented Nov 04, 2009 at 18:11:55 in Politics

“The conservative bent in this country has gotten to the point where selfishness is considered an American trait and expected of the "patriot" though they would never admit to it or label it as such. It's viewed as un-American to say, oh yes I'll pay some more taxes so that those less fortunate might have health care.”

“It's becoming increasingly clear that many, many Democrats are either too weak to get this done or they are just as corrupt as the GOP. What's the use in becoming a career politician if your legacy is filled with meaningless b.s. and hints of corruption? I'm just one guy and it probably won't amount to much, but from now on I'm backing the Green Party. They unequivocally support single payer and they don't accept corporate money in any form. I don't agree with their entire platform but on the major points the Green Party makes the most sense to me.”

“The thing about apathy has been bothersome for me for a long time. I think a lot has to do just with the makeup of the US. We're like these 50 little countries held together by some constitution that people only have a peripheral knowledge of. Otherwise Oregonians could give a rat's ass about Texans and Arizonans couldn't care less about Pennsylvanians. And so on. Ya know, "together we stand, divided we fall"? Well guess what? We have 50 divisions. I don't see us standing much longer the way things are going.”

“The Biill Moyers and the Rachel Maddows of the world--few tho they may be--are unfortunately speaking only to those who believe as they do. The misinformed masses that need to hear what they have to share are not part of their audience. Much to our collective detriment.”

“The only challenge I have with them is that they too are extremely partisan. They are well thought and communicate well. They though, just like the Becks and the Hannitys of the world are only interested in their beliefs and not neccessarily the truth of the matter.”

“Obama's administration has been a real disappointment. The Democratic take-over of Congress similarly so. The Republicans, well, whatever about them. We the electorate took by faith the concept that if you don't like how things are going, you change it by going to the polls and vote out those you feel are not working for the country and vote in those whom you feel will. That's what we did last November. This is what we got for our efforts. Nothing.”

“Glad you called out Chuck Todd. I really enjoyed him during the primaries when he was doing the polling stuff. I guess they figured he did such a bang-up job with the numbers he deserved a kick up the ladder after the election. But ever since he's been on the reporting job he's been pretty much a farce, sorry to say. But yes, he is but one. It is truly a sorry state.”
