I call Shenanigans

"Someone please tell me what the HELL's wrong with all the people that run this country!"

don't you think it's time we stopped assuming all these shenanigans are an accident.....

Good business, or good at business does not translate to "good". Just because Walmart is making money doesn't make them good. They are a vulture picking at the bloated carcass of the american populous, left to starve on the side of the road while our policy makers turn a blind eye as they drive past.

How long can these things continue to go on before you start to question their motives, rather than their faculties?

Let's take this debt ceiling thing for example. When the U.S. needs money they don't just "raise the debt ceiling." That's what they tell you because they want you to think we are a sovereign nation which determines it's own destiny. But the truth is when the U.S. needs money it goes to the bank, just like you do. If the U.S. is having a debt crisis it's because the bank won't give them any money.

All this stuff you see on the "news" is just a bunch of actors who are paid to make you think that the reason we have a problem is because the republicans and the democrats can't get along.

The armed forces are deployed in 150 countries across the globe. All this talk about cutting medicare and closing schools and no mention of cutting back on defense spending? You really think this is an accident? You really think that the policy makers are morons.

They promised you A, they delivered B, again. For the millionth time, and here we are. "It's an accident, they're a bunch of idiots."

Walmart pays it's employees poorly, it has very few benefits, it's systemically bigoted against women. It sells 3rd rate goods made of 3rd rate materials, assembled by the poorest and most abused people in the 3rd world. We call it good business.

I think we need to re-examine who the idiots are.

Let me give you an personal example. When the republicans were dealing with their worst image crisis in years thanks to 8 years of Bush. Obama was about to take the white house and the democrats would take the house and senate. Republican rosters were at their lowest and they needed numbers the worst. I registered republican so that I could take part in the primary. I went to the republican party website and I registered directly with them and do you know what happened? They lost my applications. Do you know why? Because It was an accident? Or because I was going to vote for Ron Paul?
