    Or it's Republicans playing to racist and religious fears to keep the poor divided. It keeps them winning elections as well. Simple arguments are easy to make.

    No it is not. Democrat speeches and party rhetoric back up what I say. False rhetoric such as yours seems to be the norm of the Democratic party line.
    Of course if divide and separate is your intent, it makes sense.

    The same group of Idiots that crank out

    designed to keep the rest of us in line.

    Got Mail Again - What say you all

    What I say is you probably need to up the settings on your spam filter. Back during the CART vs. IRL Civil War, some IRL fans from the Speedvision forum would send me gay porn pictures from time to time. I found that the best way to keep things out of ones inbox, that are silly, hyperbolic and/or a complete waste of time, is to up those spam settings! That's how I deal with foolishness and "mail" problems anyway.

    Hope that helps!

    You're not selling the United States very well are you?

    If the above is true then how many would failt the character tests for politicians in the Australian Parliament under sections 44 and 45 of the Australian Constitution?
    Parliament of Australia: Senate: Constitution - Chapter 1 part IV

    Furthermore, if you don't hold such a standard up to public scruitiny then by inference it either shows that the United States Constitution is faulty or the people of the United States are, or both.

    our politicians are disgusting, disgraceful, unethical and in most cases POS's. The truth is what the truth is. Unfortunately we may be too far gone to ever even gut this Fu___King mess and but some strict controls. Is greed destroying the GOP - maybe it is. Can we destroy capitalism to the point where it will need to be controlled - We seem to be heading down that road.

    So you're in favour of it not being controlled at all?

    It was unregulated greed with led to the Financial Crisis starting in 2007, the Great Depression starting 1929, the Panic of 1873, the Depression of 1882 and of 1893 which ultimately led to the creation of the Fed itself.
    Capitalism does need regulation because as a system like any other system if left unregulated is subject to damage through unregulated greed.

    Also, a lack of regulation caused the British Parliament expenses scandal and currently the "phone hacking" scandal within News International and presumably other newspapers.

    All that the above proves is that there is in principle no difference between the corruption of government and the corruption of business, but for some reason you choose to deliberately ignore the corruption of business.
    Human nature is such that "everyone from the lowliest peasant, to kings and princes are motivated by self-interest"; I personally don't see a distinction for that capacity to be negated either in government or private enterprise.
