Actually (none / 0)


 I concur with you on the U.S. not really being a nation of laws. They've clearly been bent every which way but loose since before I was born.  And the laws apply differently depending on how much money you have

(see: Every Athlete 'punished' for breaking the law ever, more or less.  Also, Vince Neil of Motley Crue)

I was simply illustrating that if you ascribe to the 'birth certificate' thing, you have to conclude that the problem is a systemic all-encompassing 2-party conspiracy.  Not just Obama 'trojan-horsing' his way into the White House.

 I'm actually giving the Republicans a form of 'credit' here, I don't think that they would allow this whole thing to go down if they weren't involved in it themselves.  They are too dedicated to winning to let an opportunity like this just go by.  If it had any real legs (and they weren't 'in' on it), they would be all over this.  That's just sound incentive-based logic.

So, what I'm saying is either:

A) This thing has no credibility because if it did (and the Republicans weren't complicit or explicitly involved), the Republicans would have fought this election tooth-and-nail to the very end.  The stakes were too high in '08 for them to not throw the kitchen sink at this election (if they could have).

or

B) The Republicans and the Democrats have co-conspired to put a foreign-born national as our president.  We must reject the 2-party system, as they (in this scenario) have utterly failed us and betrayed our trust.  The U.S. Government is fundamentally broken and we should never trust any politician of EITHER party ever again.  It's probably time for a Revolution.

 


When you break it down like this, it kind of looks absurd.  And I think the government (inherently) is filled with crooks and corruption; it comes with power.

Would the Republicans care? (none / 0)

If you knew the economy was going to hell in a hand basket and whatever party was in power would get the blame and have the nightmare of trying to clean it up.  Here was an opportunity to give the Democrats a black eye and return to power in Congress just like 1994.  Our Congress is bought and paid for by special interests.

Notice I haven't claimed he was born in Kenya or even that he isn't an American.  That's not the point.  The point is that he has set himself above the law.  And by setting himself above the law he sets a precedent for future Presidents.

Be serious if McCain wanted to win the Presidency why would he have picked Palin as his running mate?  The Republicans just have to say no for 2 years until they get back power, because they know it's the economy stupid.

Don't waste your vote, vote Green or Independent in the next election.
