Didn't Kerry violate the Logan act when he went to Paris while still in the Navy to negotiate independently with the enemy ? I think he did.

Well that will be a great point to bring up when he becomes a candidate again, how is it all those anti-communists haven't arranged his prosecution yet, or would you like to begin the persecution now?

I think that because of the extreme movement of the Left so much more to the left that the Right just seems more conservative. The Left is taking this country to places that will be nearly impossible to correct unless we have a full Republican/Conservative Administration and Congress to remove those damaging moves . WE as voters need to contact our respective representatives and tell them our concerns. And not just one or two items. Let them know your interest in everything that you do not feel is being done right. WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT. They work for us. This administration just started this thing where petitions can be sent to the White House (with a minimum of 100,000 signatures) for their perusal. So far, this administration has dismissed anything that does not line up with their agenda. This is not how our right to redress should be handled. Until we can get millions of people on board with one of these petitions, they will continue to do as they wish and not what the American public and taxpayers think is better for us.

It would be good if this were possible, but sadly it is not the case.

As I was trying to tell Tom in a previous post. The "ruling elites" don't just rule. In any hierarchical system who gets to rule is decided by allegiances formed or dissolved. One role of government is to be the power broker.

Organizations and companies being favoured or not favoured (depending on the persuasion of the government in power). When we vote we get to determine who the government brokers are going to be. Unfortunately, the voter does little more than fulfill this role.


What makes it even worse is that more and more draft legislation is being formulated by organizations who are outside of the political process.

Yes, the President can introduce a proposal but as stated, it is very, very rare that a sitting president would author an entire bill. Oh One More thins,, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus?? Where is the Congressional White Caucus??

I think you miss the point of elections, while you might think the majority think this way or that, that is rhetorical. In the election the majority of voters endorsed the president's platform, that the distribution of the seats in the house doesn't reflect this can be a reflection of local issues. You have a first past the post voting system, this doesn't mean more than 50% voted in favour of each candidate elected

Sorry you guys missed the last election but there is another one next year. Be there or be losers again.

Hope you have better luck catching the Super Bowl Sunday.

Sore losers are everywhere, let's hope it doesn't overpower good sense this time

Hello H:

Where is the Congressional White Caucus??

There isn't one, because having one would be VERY offensive. I understand that you don't understand that, so let's just leave it at that.

Where is the Congressional White Caucus??

On Wall Street, and the Cayman Islands.

I understand it, ever since desegregation blacks, Hispanics, gays, etc.have voluntarily segregated themselves.Except non-Hispanic whites that is, you won't find a congressional white caucus, a white dormitory at college, a United Caucasian College Fund, A National Association for the Advancement of White People...

We can't have one because that would be racist.

What thin veneer?. most racism these days is practiced by the Black AND the Hispanic communities, not Whites.

[talaniman]

There is already have a white caucus, in not only government, but every other institution in the country. There is also political parties that represents white interests,its called the republican party,with rich white guys, and the TParty, with middle class white people with rich guys giving money for elections locally, and nationally.

I wonder why that would be that every non white, and female would run like hell from you? Any clues?

Bullsh*t. The only white caucus is Obama's inner circle.

I don't see anyone running from me, they LOVE me.
