Fu*%face Von Clownstick

I'm an inherently "frugal" guy and can see merit in traditional republicanism, but the wackadoodle stuff of recent years is a real detraction from what could be. Honour,, character and credibility, where art thou?

I am in no way suggesting the the dems should be trusted with our nations finances, but the notion that the republican party is somehow the party off fiscal responsibilityq is a joke. Instead of spending OUR money on social programs they choose to give all of OUR money away to folks like the military complex, corporations, the richest 1%, and war. Its hard to argue with their recent track record of leaving massive debt, deficits, and tattered economies in their wake.

I hear you Rico. I wouldn't consider those actions as core ideals fiscally speaking either. BTW I'm Canadian, eh?
 
Santos has still not been convicted of a crime right? Oh that doesn’t matter. The Uniparty decides who is guilty. Most of Congress are criminals who haven’t been convicted. That clown Santos’ crimes are probably the least bad out of the bunch.

I do miss the time when people didn’t just get angry and talk about Trump. I don’t need data to form an opinion. People think the Biden’s, Mitch McConnell, Lindsay Graham, and Bob Menendez are the only ones flying around the world enriching themselves and their families? They all do it. That’s how they own mansions and leave office with tens of millions of dollars. 90% of them are rotten.

I think a huge part of the problem is that it costs an absolute fortune to run for office in this country, even at the local or state level. Air time costs thousands per second for campaign aids, printed stuff and mass mailings ditto. Right here locally even the candidates for county commissioner are shelling out four or five grand or more for glossy mailings, posters, etc. National level politics pretty much ensure any successful candidate is going to be a multi-millionaire. It is simply unreasonable to expect a person of relatively average income to run at that level only on donations. So we are always going to be stuck with extremely wealthy people at the top, and how can we expect them to have any idea of the realities of life at the bottom of the economic tree? Some actually try and some don't give a shyte but put on a good act, and not always clear which is which.

How about we ban political advertising?
 
One trouble with political advertising is, no one tells the truth. They say what is going to get them elected. Period.
We need to go back to debates where the candidates talk about what they would like to get accomplished if elected and stop these debates where they just bash each other.
Biden has done a pretty good job of saying what he wants to do and not saying what an idiot Trump is. He slips once in a while, but hey, he is acting like an adult when Trump is acting like a spoiled 5 year old in a playground full of other 5 year olds that think he is cool.
