Was anyone else discusted by Bush\'s State of the Union Address Last Night?

where the fuck have all the true leaders gone? just a bunch of fucking puppets now, it blows.

Working in the private sector as CEO\'s earning 7 figure salaries and 8 figure bonuses.  Public service is a death wish.

To add to that, politicans are no longer working for the people. They\'re only working for themselves--that\'s why everything in American politics is screwed up. The closest real politican that America has had was Reagan.

good news! The dollar has plummeted so drastically the last year in comparison to other economies world wide that now other countries are beginning to no longer accept it as a currency. For some reason if you just keep printing up new bills to fund a war without actually having gold to back them, the value drops. Go figure. Don\'t worry though, every facist has stated that the way they will fund all of these projects they want to do once they are elected president is to use the money that is currently going to fund the war. Um, that money doesn\'t exist! Stop printing up money, you\'re driving us into a recession!
 
And people wonder why more than half of my 401K is in international markets. :banghead:

i really need to start watching the news some more.  I didn\'t even know who that Huckabee guy is.

2 things you should know about huckabee:

1. Doesn\'t believe in evolution.

2. Didn\'t know anything about the NIE report on Iran the day after it came out.  If you don\'t follow politics, I\'ll put it in sports terms that may make more sense.  That would be like a candidate to become the commissioner of baseball not knowing anything about the Mitchell Report.

Um, that money doesn\'t exist! Stop printing up money, you\'re driving us into a recession!:

We\'ve been off the gold standard since the 30\'s.

Driving?  Wrong tense.  Try driven.  But Dubya doesn\'t like to use the word "recession".  Doesn\'t like the sounds of it.  Makes him look bad.

Oh boy.  Yeah.  This not looking good.  I read he was a former preacher and the governor of Arkansas.   I feel like he totally came out of the woodwork.  When I read the paper today and saw the facist and facist winners, i was truly puzzled.  I know more about the facistic candidates than the facist.....and sadly, i\'m a registered facist.    In any case, if he makes it all the way, I am going dem and voting for Edwards.

Huckabee doesn\'t stand a chance, don\'t worry. He is not a serious candidate.

Last year when I went to Egypt the visa was $20 US-cash only.

Now it\'s 20 erous, again cash only.

Interesting.

Stop printing up money, you\'re driving us into a recession!

However, since the company I work for is about 50/50 US/international sales, our profits have shifted to like 30/70 (im not in accounting, so don\'t ask) on our way to posting our largest margins ever. A weak US dollar is not all bad - US goods are now much cheaper overseas.

As someone up there said "Me thinks its alot more complicated than that"

We\'ve been off the gold standard since the 30\'s.

yea, I know but it doesn\'t mean I like it. Our whole economy is based on the belief that the paper is worth something simply because everyone says it is, but when you move into world wide economy, other people are not as willing to suspend disbelief as much as your average american would. I just find it depressing. Maybe I\'m just still hoping for a Jeffersonian democracy to break out, but I mean he was THE ONLY president to ever balance the budget*, unlike the other 43 idiots to be elected to power.

*before anyone starts bitching about nixon, clinton, or johnson, I need to point out Jackson was the only one to not only balance but also put us in the black.

Huckabee doesn\'t stand a chance, don\'t worry. He is not a serious candidate.

Huckabee will loose in new hampshire. He only won that caucus because of the strong religious precence that turned out for him. It wont happen in new hampshire.
 

Me thinks it\'s a bit more complicated than that.

Oh, I\'m not saying it\'s not, but I\'m not smart enough to explain it on a much higher level and most people here wouldn\'t read it if I did. :shrug:

based on this definition of "jeffersonian democracy":

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffersonian_democracy

It seems like we\'re about as far away from that world as we can possibly be right now.  I\'m thinking you might not want to hold your breath.

This post was stupid.

Today is super tuesday so while I\'m sure a bunch of people will give me reasons why it\'s cool or sends a better message not to, if you are a registered facist or facist in one of the states poling today you should really go vote. Who you support or what your reasons for picking them is makes no difference. The act of making your voice heard does.
