you've been spot on all along by your call-outs on the corruption

but you're now making it too political by labeling the Republicans as the liars

they're all liars, Republican and Democrats

and you now say vote for the Democrat liars

no way

What is this about filing for party affiliation change? Never heard of this? In Wisconsin, I can vote in any primary/general election for either repub or democrat. I can attend any meeting.

Mrholty, Florida is a closed primary state. Two years ago I changed my affiliation from Rep. to Independent and was not allowed to vote in any of the primaries.

Bravo, Gen, that needed to be said!

Those stats are wrong; they were stealing FICA receipts.

I am having a bugger of a time convincing the relatives of this.....

If the party in power screws me, I feel I must vote the other way to repudiate them. They seem to think that we have not been watching the last 8 years.....

Pat Buchanan said it right.... They are the first party to essentially run AGAINST THEMSELVES as a "party of change". He seemed dumbfounded that they were getting away with it and that it appeared to be working, and so am I....

We shall see....

Give me a link... all the sources I've ever seen have always leveled off the deficit spending during Clinton's terms.

Clinton stole FICA receipts (as have the others) to pad his deficits and in addition squandered the Peace Dividend.

Look at where the money came out of the budget.

What the military industrial complex? I consider than the biggest theft and wealth transfer device of government.

The U.S. spends more than any other nation and more than the next several countries combined. It's about return on investment.

The only way you can win a war is to carpet bomb the enemy into submission. Otherwise you end up hemorrhaging money as the enemy wears you down walking around on barefoot detonating cell phone bombs causing millions of dollars of damage.

You either go into a Country to **** it up or don't go in at all. Russia knows this. Israel knows this. Americans **** endless amounts of money into weapon systems, ever more complicated... increasing entropy in the universe and little else.

I agree 100% with the Ticker and the sentiment, except that I cannot and will not vote Democrat. They are NO BETTER just because you get what they advertise, which is socialism. I can no more vote for socialists than I can liars. I also cannot vote for a party that has a party platform of taking away guns from citizens. I belong to the last minority group that found out the hard way what happens when the citizens are unarmed in the face of their government.

I value my life and those of my children over my wallet.

Well this much is now obvious - Palin's choice was simply a sop and so was the platform plank on bailouts.

I'm just happy to see that after being such a hardcore Republican backer for so long that he could actually turn his back on them in protest. I wish a lot of other people would do that to either party when they **** citizens up and maybe we'd have a legitimate 3rd party that may do something for the people.

Both parties suck in my opinion but I always have hope that somebody will come out eventually and do the right thing for the voters of this country... I'll probably need a mountain sized glass of hope to wait it out.

Bravo KD!

KD,

You really need to vote Republican then. Democrats will cut the bloated defence industry when they get in office.

And I know you care more about that than lying and fraud... otherwise you'd be a supporter of Ron Paul and Libertarians.
