Definition of Democracy

I agree with you. I know it shocked me too. IMO all elected positions in the country should have term limits. We have it for the POTUS. Why the fuck is being in congress a life long career? It should be a maximum of 8 years of service, period. Also, the golden parachute that comes with serving in congress needs to go away. Originally Posted by Budman

Right now we have two outstanding examples of self made individules, (a Black Man and a Woman), who are running for POTUS in the Republican Primaries, but will be characterized by the Democrat lap dogs in the media as out of touch bafoons who do not understand the real voting public.

In the mean time, that same media will tout the success of a lying piece of crap whose only real claim to fame is she ran interference for a serial sexual predator. Originally Posted by Jackie S

Sad, but true. I completely agree on term limits. It was never meant to be a career. The constant election cycle inhibits any hard decisions from being made because they're always worried about being reelected. It's not a coincidence that people go to DC moderately wealthy and return filthy rich.

Start putting forth some realistic ideas and maybe I can get on board with it. You keep putting unrealistic ideas forward. We need actual things that can be accomplished in the real world, not the fantasy world you live in. I've asked you several times to explain just who is going to break up these companies that are too big to fail and all you've done is be an asshole. I've been trying this entire thread to have an actual discussion with you, but you're so conditioned to these assholes around here that your knee-jerk reaction is to be on the offensive. Just forget it.

I answered that question. Find someone smarted than you to explain it to you. Should be easy. Ask the guy on the other side of your glory hole.

You haven't answered it yet. You defend the government's right to break up publicly-held corporations.

Yes. If the company is guilty of fraud, the government should break it up. The same as if someone does violence to you, or defrauds you, the government should prosecute them as well. Why do you want to allow companies and people to be able to commit fraud with impunity? You're an asshole.

You didn't say they had to be fraudulent. You said they had to be too big to fail. That was your original contention. Why would you think I would want companies to commit fraud with impunity? You infer many things that simply aren't true.

Ok. We'll investigate them first. Happy now?

Wow, that's almost democratic of you. Better not let Putin know you're slipping.

Since I believe in open and honest government, and ethical business practices, along with individual liberty and personal responsibility, this clown compares me to Putin. What he doesn't understand is that Putin is Obama with balls and a brain.

What you don't believe in is being honest yourself, I don't guess. That wasn't what you said initially. Any person in their right mind is for ethical business practices.
