Are you kidding?! We just had an election. Did you see the lineup we had?

There was:

A slimeball (Harper, who won)

A guy who comes across like a surprised, confused owl (Dion)

A total idiot (Layton)

And a “who the hell is she?” (May)

Which resulted in the country’s lowest voter turnout ever.

I’m just glad our campaigns are much, much shorter than that of the US.

Disagring is ok, stupidity is not. the economy need a long term fix now, not a patch that will spring a leak later. From what i can tell one side may have a long term fix and the other a patch. witch would you prefer?

It’s so fun to watch the economically illiterate leftosphere talk like they actually had a clue in the world. Come out of your mother’s basement, get a job, better yet, employ others and meet a payroll.

The current mess is yet another time-bomb left from the Clintoon era. Banks only loaned to people who can’t pay because Slick passed laws making them do it.

If there is one thing PKers on both sides can agree on, it is the menace of lolspeak. Damn, that stuff makes my brain hurt. I mean, I can take it in small doses, on captions. But a whole post, let alone pages of the stuff? A celebration of inane stupidity.

Um, yeah. And then he’ll send people to gather up everybody’s guns and burn them. And then he’ll make everybody drive a foreign car. And then he’ll make everybody babysit poor people’s kids. And if you don’t cough up the extra taxes, he’ll make space aliens come down and do experiments on you.

Yes, but representative democracy is different than true democracy. We only directly elect members of Congress to National office here.

That cognitive dissonance must hurt. You know what that is, right? The pain that comes from trying to hold mutually contradictory ideas in your head at the same time. Like, you believe that Republicans are good. But being fiscally irresponsible is bad. And big government is bad. But Republicans are fiscally irresponsible. And they have been making government bigger.
–
Just think about it. Think about the economy, and the bailout. Think about your candidate. Think about all those rich guys on wall street, who profit with no risk to themselves. Think about personal responsiblity. Think about no-bid contracts. That headache you are getting? Yeah, that’s cognitive dissonance.

Yes, but you never mentioned federal tax code. You mentioned “You assclowns in DC already take a quarter on my check anyway. Once insurance, 401k, state tax are out, I’m left with half of what I actually made.” Trust me, I know how you feel, I lose a ton to those things. On the other hand, to an extent, they are a necessary evil.

By: J

Last time I checked DC made the federal tax code, hence a quarter of my check goes to federal taxes, SS, etc. And yes I know I control my 401k, after all the other stuff goes, I’m left with half my salary. I lose $250 bucks a week, that’s minus the 401k, since I’m not technically losing it.

yes because a 401k is a horrid governmental thing.

Gas taxes and sales taxes are mostly determined by state, county, and other local governments. The US Constitution does not give the authority to the federal government to regulate intrastate commerce, only interstate.

Cynicism doesn’t contradict the facts. Obama’s plan is to tax those who make greater than 250K per year. Of course there’s the possibility that any candidate will renege on any piece of their plan, but at least Obama’s got specifics. All Old Man McCain could do was pull a “spending freeze” out of his ass, which Obama quite correctly noted was stupid.

You do have representative democracy, but I don’t think you even have the best system of that. I prefer something more similar to the Westminster system, where the popular vote of your local region actually matters beyond a few weeks after the election.

We don’t have a true democracy here, and we don’t elect the president, which is why the popular vote is meaningless. The ACTUAL election is Dec 15th, when the electoral college votes. Here is a summary of the process:

“Rather than directly voting for the President and Vice President, United States citizens cast votes for electors. Electors are technically free to vote for anyone eligible to be President, but in practice pledge to vote for specific candidates[2] and voters cast ballots for favored Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates by voting for correspondingly pledged electors.”

As part of the process, it is also technically possible to have A candidate voted into office, and have his opponent’s running mate voted VP.

So, while we love to push democracy and direct elections on others, we technically have neither…

Do they naively expect it to be payed back?

I can believe I am saying this, but it isn’t so unreasonable given the caption is in (correctly spelled) lolspeak.
As long as captioners use ichc memes like “i can has”, we can never be rid of the menace that is lolspeak.
