| said by raptor1418  :Welcome to business representative government. "We the People" don't seem to matter in government eyes anymore. The idea of campaign finance reform comes up time after time, and none of them do anything about it.
Goes to show why companies have turned down the QA and turned up the marketing. Because people are stupid and let people sell them crap without giving them the product.
No surprise why the same stupid people keep getting elected, and why so many are in debt, as a few examples.
In regards to "we the people", that means, to Democrats, simply saying crap people who take a poll want to hear. They're basically like those who want local measures passed. They hire a marketing firm to find out what people want and the way to word it to get them to vote. They use statistics (actual formulas, not just looking at numbers or making them up) to find out what most people want to hear -- which words have the highest probability of succeeding per demographic, then proceed to tell it to them to get the vote, then make good on nearly none of their promises. Just helping friends, and themselves, of course.
Republicans (or maybe conservatives) simply care too much about everyone else's bedroom while completely pretending the skeletons in their closet don't exist, while pretending things that don't exist (or never did), like Jesus, do. The congregation votes based on things they hate, which, over the last few decades, include Blacks, Gays, Mexicans, Arabs, white women marrying black men. If it isn't turning back the clock on social progression, it's clearly Republican (conservative).
The FISA thing is certainly bipartisan. Because the rights of the constituents it affects matters for crap, so both sides can bargain away our rights. Hell, that's why Bush wants retroactive immunity for the telcom companies (Verizon/AT&T, for example). Wouldn't need retroactive immunity if they were doing something that was legal in the first place. FISA, a.k.a. the tools to "fight terrorism" were there all along. The administration just decided they didn't need no stinkin' rules or oversight or separation of powers. Which has been the common theme since January 2001.
As every year passes, I'm more and more glad I don't vote for either. I also enjoy hearing retards tell me I'm throwing away my vote by not singing the tune to a party line, as in, not taking it up the backside from the people who's name I'm chanting.
