The problem is we have corporate-owned politicians instead of having statesmen. Goldman Sachs and a couple other Wall street firms have proven they own both parties. Look how quickly the evil Koch brothers and Karl Rover swooped in to snatch up the tea party. As long as campaigns are funded by donations, we're screwed.

As a TEA party sympathizer, I don't feel "snatched up."
For the purposes of this poll, I voted R.

Even Walter Mondale, who won a grand total of 13 electoral votes, received about 41% of the popular vote. Although, I think that George McGovern managed to poll under 40%.

I agree with you....shows a total lack of class. And lack of substance.
Guess we know all we need to know about this dud.

steve wynn, being interviewed by cavuto, says that, even though he voted for him, the lies and misrepresentations being perpetrated by the obama administration are "outrageous".
he notes that, not only in las vegas, but all over our country the standard of living of average people is plummeting. gas-up, food-up, education-up.
he says the fed is keeping interest rates low, artificially, and eventually they have to go up. when that happens......big,big trouble.
he says this train in washington must be stopped and the wave that started in the last election had better continue.
is he right or wrong ?
by the way, he mentioned that his investment in china was "fortunate" because it buffered what's happened in las vegas, but he has indicators that things are slowly getting better in las vegas.

I apologize that the word association offended you. Many of my family were killed by them and the world should never forget.
When you write posts like the following, I find that offensive:
"you're missing the independent, communist, and for many who post here socialist"
Communists were as cruel and inhuman as nazis. Calling people "socialist' who are concerned for the human condition is simple-minded.
I will choose my words more carefully.

What is socialism, then? I find the phrase re-distribution of wealth extremely offensive.

i accept your apology as a simple heat of the moment comment...
however, i disagree with your definition of socialist..people who earn should be allowed to keep and not have to give to the unfortunate,incompetent or lazy of the world..i grew up dirt poor, my father never could catch a break..but never thought the world owed him..lots of times he'd work two jobs to make it..he believed in personal responsibility..

Only three choices?
You need a 4th choice titled, 'NONE OF THE ABOVE'....that's me.
