That's exactly correct.

You cannot find truth/unbiased reporting anywhere.

People just believe what they wish or find most consistent with their own "informed" views.

you are saying that tongue is cheek I hope. because that is an outright dis-truth. FOX is a Murdoch outlet and is well known for their right leaning philosophy and will attack the other side every change that they get. They are hypocrites, they praised Bush for some thing and turn around and attack Obama for the same thing.

They don't report the news, they make it up as they go along. Turn it off John, just for a week, it'll make a difference.

I think he's tried, unfortunately the other side has not.

Do not pursue this line.

It is uncalled for.

Please edit it ASAP.

It is against the TOS Guidelines.

@ John:

Please don't answer, let it be edited and let it die there. Thanks.

This is why I hate politics or one of the reasons any way. Not only is it a waste of time debating the issues to death but it also sets friends against friends. Not everyone believes the same way about everything but it is often a good idea to respect those beliefs whether you agree with them or not. Time to put politics where it belongs, in the shit can, and get up off all our collective asses and do what needs to be done. People people....all of the Joe Shmoes from one end of the Earth to the other. Every single one getting up and screaming at the top of their lungs...Enough is enough! Starkers got it right...shoot all the politicos and lets start off fresh without all the money hungry, power mad assholes, they know who they are, trying to tell us what is and isn't right for us. 

Pretty wishful thinking...huh?

Sometimes Uvah just says the right things at the right time. 

Please, everyone. Let it be. Don't add to what has been written.

Thanks.

that will just get rid of the ones in office now...more are sure to follow

Hopefully the ones to follow will stand up and take notice.

hrrumph, or something like that

I firmly believe that government must respect those it is elected to serve, and act on their behalf.

Shooting anyone solves nothing. That is violence and it breeds only more violence. It is an act in extremis only when one's life is directly threatened and no alternative (like running away and seeking Police help) is available.

Ya know, I hoped I'd get change last time I went grocery shopping.... it wasn't forthcoming.

So next time I'm gonna change my hops... and pray that somebody other than Manly win the NRL grand final next year.

Then again, I could always hope for a local banker throwing competition...  and hope to win at least one thing before I go to that Banker Haters Association in the sky.

I too believe that Doc but the evidence proves otherwise. Sorry, I don't mean to cause contention and shooting them is a figure of speech. It just means we need to be rid of them is all. I know...lets gather up all the people living at or below poverty level and let them have their say. Oh wait...they do. Its called voting. Only problem is...their voice is almost never heard. Witness the state of programs created to help them. Most if not all are facing the axe in one form or another. This country used to excel at certain things like education and science among others. I wonder what happened. Rant over. 

It's ok, it will all be over soon *hugs*

Unfortunately Doc the only ones corrupt in the process are not the Politicians, the people who vote for a particular person seem to feel they have a right to receive favorable treatment or favors because their person got elected.  Wonder what entities like 'Unions' expect from giving their support to a candidate?  This 'beast' has more than one head and unless you sever all of them you don't change a thing.

Personally I took the comment about 'shooting' to mean vote them out of office.  We do show our anger here but I don't believe anyone meant it literally.

Thank you, John.

thanks for making light of it John and I meant no disrespect nor making of an accusation, regardless of how Doc came across.

Nuff said.

Welcome, and my reply removed...after you saw... the light. 

Obama could be igloo white, snow pee yellow or devils food brown, it has no bearing on how I feel about how his social agenda and policies are negatively affecting my life, and those around me.

Huh?

I meant the quote. Should read quote reply 176

No!  While much of what I say here is tongue-in-cheek and/or irreverent, I sometimes speak from the heart when it comes to politicians and others with far too much power.  However, one thing I do NOT advocate is shooting anyone... for any reason.  Yes, I am frequently angered by the vile and corrupt ways of those at the top, but at the end of the day I'm essentially a pacifist and against violence of any kind.
