Then you best vote Green Party because they are both lieing little weasels that cannot be trusted.

If the Green Party would throw up a candidate who'd have even a tiny chance of getting elected, I WOULD

YES.

I'd also like something called the "Congressional Blanket Party" so we can beat the shit out of these guys when they try to stick something assinine onto a unrelated bill.

When have movies ever been shown in their unedited state on broadcast television in the US?

At least Schindler's List.

I love the way an exposed tittie or an utterance of the word "fuck" is punished with up to $3 million fines per day under this regime, but there is no restriction whatsoever on televised beatings or murders.

Traditional values ...

In Denmark, movies are on broadcast television usually shown in unedited state.

Of all the things they could be bipartisan about, they choose this.

Yep. Years ago NBC decided to air Schindlers List entirely unedited and without comercial (except for 2 intermissions). If they did it now they can be finned for doing it because of both profanity and nudity. And if they weren't finned then it just shows how hypocritical the system is for using the standards only in certain areas.

What a load of fucking bollocks. Who's running your country? I'm sure headless chickens have more rational ideas than this obvious oppression of the media.

Now, don't compare the poor defenseless headless chickens to the boobs in our government currently.

Besides at this rate I wonder if Vegas will exist in 20 years.

I wonder if they left in the provision whereby each individual station wouls also get fined.

How about we fix the problem instead?

My Government has been hijacked by extremist who pander to polls and the political fad of the month. By the poll makers, the lobby and the elitiest. It's gotten to the point where I'm starting to wonder if they hold first alliange to nation or party.

I no longer believe they have any morality. Any of them. Instead all they care about is beating the other guy and getting that good photo op. Who cares how many voters you screw, how many rights you tramble or how many you backstab.

You know why they're not electable, people like you won't vote for them. Until people do, it doesn't matter who they nominate.

I don't consider voting for a candidate I can honestly and whole heartedly support as throwing my vote away. Now if I voted for Kerry, that would be throwing my vote away.

The question isn't whether it's a candidate you agree with or not. It's whether they have a snowball's chance in Hell of getting into office.

Oh yeah, that's a brilliant solution. It must be all Janet Jackson's fault that our lawmakers are uptight. We've got no one to blame for this but ourselves. Because guess who put those assholes in office?

What's funny is that there are extremists on both sides of the spectrum that voted for this bill. So I don't want to hear Howard Stern bitch and moan about how the Repubs are trying to keep him down.

Personally, he not as funny as he used to be and now I can pretty much say he's just about over-rated

McC · Post by **McC** » 2004-06-22 08:33pm

Fundies.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

That's not far from the truth, though. The reasonable masses aren't.

And the reason they don't is that people won't vote for some one outside the major parties, making the whole mess a self fufilling prophecy. If you keep voting for one of the two parties and simply hoping then of course they don't stand a chance. Hope isn't a vote and counts for jack squat in an election.
