bill7621 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Here's another one that say's it all! We, the people of the United States of America, as a whole, better wake up and smell the roses because something has been smelling rotten for quite a while. It's a shame when your own leaders are selling you out! I often wonder why so many people tend to live in their "own little world" with their rose colord glasses and fail to see the real picture. Are so many people that blind? Or don't they care about the future of their country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polopony Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Â fucking eh and with an Irish name as Irish as it gets why does some bastard call up around election time and try to talk to me in anything other than English to support some dickweed politician Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Well, beats pressing TWO for English. Pressing 1 for English was bad enough, BUT, to have English FOLLOW the Spanish, as it briefly did around here was just annoying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â most are in survival mode just trying to get by and feed families pay bills etc and dont have time for the crap that politicians throw their way ,some are of the mind that it doesn't matter who gets elected you're going to get screwed anyway so whats the use .The Govt. counts on that, here in the US only 65% of all eligible voters vote and then some candidate gets elected with say 55% of that vote so its not like its the voice of the majority that gets him/her elected .Then they're called world leaders ,I wondered if any of them has taken a good look at the state of the worlds affairs at all, this kind of leadership we can all do without Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus_McFartfinger Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 The Govt. counts on that, here in the US only 65% of all eligible voters vote I didn't think it was that high. I thought it was more like 30%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbminter Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 There is one thing to keep in mind, folks. In American Idol, people can, and do, vote numerous times for the same person. The American President isn't picked that way. In fact, he's not picked by the people. But, in some cases, people can, and have voted multiple times like... no, no, that would just be a cheap shot.
