Vote out ALL incumbents in 2012! Lobby your friends, family and neighbors. The money sucking whores will quake with fear.
owstag.....old time religion......the preacher would make a point and then holler "Can I get a witness"
I thought it had a religious vibe to it...
No offense, but I detest that expression ("Can I get a witness?!"). Where the hell does that worn cliche come from anyway?
Anyone other than the incumbent. He/She is bought and paid for. Look for the Chosen one and vote for the other. Keep it up in mid terms 2014.
exactly! this is what Tea party is doing, and a very good and working strategy but it has to be bigger than just that one group. we all need to do it.
and replace them with whom?
This is what the masses seem unable to grasp:
If we replace our current leaders with human beings, they will sell out just as far as the current bunch. Our leaders weren't born sold out. Wall Street executives weren't born evil. They were born human. With a natural instinct to gather and store for survival. A natural instinct to care for family and community.
When modern society was formed, we began to sell out our natural instincts. Survival turned into survival with a little more elbow room. Then survival with a little more elbow room and a nice view. Then survival with a little more elbow room, a nice view, and something pretty to hang around our neck.
Fast forward a few thousand years. With the industrial revolution came mechanized transportation, air conditioning, and television.
We had become somewhat spoiled but still relatively down to Earth. Still modest enough to appreciate one another, care for one another, and work towards a common goal.
Along the way, the potential for increased personal wealth became more and more intoxicating. Now, just about everyone wants to be rich. They want it so badly, they are willing to sell out basic morality to attain it. They WILL sell out basic morality if given the opportunity.
How can I be so sure? That's easy. Human nature plus years of corrupt influence plus opportunity.
Mother Nature did not plan for modern society. She did not plan on such corrupt influence. She never intended for any of us to seek or attain extreme personal wealth. We simply can not process the concept without being corrupted by it. Without compromising basic morality.
Extreme wealth is the single greatest corrupt influence of modern society. With every 'zero' on the paycheck, our basic instincts to care for family and community are compromised.
Not only is the greatest concentration of wealth in world history the single greatest underlying cause for economic instability. The very concept of extreme personal wealth is the most corrupt influence in the history of mankind.
There will be no government "of the people" and "for the people". Never again.
