[QUOTE="TwoForFlinching, post: 2151194, member: 24500"] There are no political parties anymore. Picking one is picking all of them. It's the voting publics fault, and it has been cultivated by not only the ever politically lined media (all of the above), the internet, and the hoards of social media rumor mills around the net. We continually vote in far right/left political douchers, who constantly argue their sides, giving zero headway to opposing ideas. Take Rand Paul for instance. Other than "Ron Pauls kid", most had no idea who he was before his CSPAN filibuster... Even before he concluded his speech, how many quoted pictures of him were floating around facebook/twitter/forums? And how many people started talking about "We need this guy in office" by the next day or two? All because they heard a single (or a few) thing(s) he said. Same can be said for Marco Rubio, Jerseys Christie, ect... And how many times do we immediately stop listening when someone with different political beliefs starts talking? It's because we are a nation of idiotic sheeple. We'd honestly have better political results electing by raffle. Politics used to get **** done because we didn't choose politicians based on one sentence they said in some random ass speech... We used to know who we were voting for. We knew their backgrounds, not just a voting history. We knew their true feelings on the issues, not just some party line standardized answer their campaign manager fed them before the debate. And we had politicians that would say what they felt, not what would get them votes. What we're left with now? Names and quotes. We will continue to lose, as a country, as long as we vote in these ideological extremists in lieu of conservative and liberal moderates who knew how to get that **** done. I know it's sounds evil, "You want some softy moderate to represent you?!?"... No, I want someone who can get **** done. Instead of picking the one person, that said that one thing, that one day you saw the quote somewhere online... Think to yourself not "Who's going to be best for me?" and think "Who's going to be best for this country?" Flame suit on. [/QUOTE]
