		<description>Someone I admire once said to me:

&quot;There are three kinds of people in the World:
There are people that make things happen;
There are people that watch things happen; and,
There are people who look around and say &#039;What Happened&#039;!&quot;</description>

		<description>I think it&#039;s funny that people like EFP use polling data to show that conservatives aren&#039;t popular, but when it comes to the popular vote on issues like Prop 8, or Prop 108, popular opinion doesn&#039;t count.</description>

		<description>SnakeDoctor, your points are certainly valid...but your solutions require people actually do some work.

It&#039;s so much easier to sit around and complain rather than present constructive alternatives that are &quot;less bad&quot; than what we have.  The world is not so cut and dried as many folks suspect.  Regardless, we all need to do more, to take *our* government back from the fat cats who are lining their own pockets and playing politics with vital issues.  

And that is a nonpartisan issue.</description>

		<description>Carlitos, Jim Treacher:  

Hey, you can see now that EFP is just a knee-jerk reactive troll.  When you actually call him on his statements, he goes to the insult.  Which is fine.

He isn&#039;t here to debate.  

&quot;Random foreigners,&quot; indeed.

And I continued to be amazed at how...boy, his type hates this term---&quot;projective&quot; people like EFP are:  they denounce other people for things that they themselves do.

Gotta get with T&lt;i&gt;eh Narrative&lt;/i&gt;, you see.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Let me go on the record as saying that I do not wish our country to be attacked by terrorists.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You say that now, but I seriously doubt that claim.</description>

		<description>As a constitutional conservative, I do not align myself with a particular party, seems I have no political party to represent me. I am concerned about the rhetoric from both sides, democrats seem vindictive and petty, and republicans seem vindictive and petty. You people have forgotten the whole reason we are here, The constitution of the United States. 

  The other night while listening to a national news cast the announcer stated,&quot;  During his fist week in Power president obama,&quot;  and he went on to list his stellar achievements. Last time I checked we are not ruled by a monarchy, or did I miss something during the night. 
 I am concerned about the attitude the democrats and  media seem to have, that theirs is the only true path. They seem to be more concerned with getting into power and not letting go than they are truly representing their districts.

The discussion is rather lively, however, there are several that ignore reality,and are not willing to admit they are wrong. Ed form PA. Sir, you really need to read what is being written. Why do you feel the need to assign blame? Is that what justifies your position and political view? If so, how petty of you, our world does not revolve around you and those like you.

When presidents are elected he or she is not and should not be the savior of the people or the country. Societies get in trouble when they start looking to one person for the answers.

 I realize that the people are frustrated with the direction of our country. The only one you can blame is yourself; you are responsible for the Congress and the Senate, which is where your true representation is housed. If You are unhappy then YOU need to do something about your local, state, and federal representation.  Spend less time complaining and finger pointing, and get involved. When I say get involved, know who represents you. Spend the time and effort to educate your self on the issues at all levels. One of the key issues is to know who is supporting your representatives and make sure you keep them accountable for their actions. That is what our founding fathers had in mind when they created this great country; they grew weary of the king and his omnipotent hand dictating their every move.</description>

		<description>Ah, a ridiculous personal insult that has nothing to do with the argument at hand, and really couldn&#039;t be further from the truth (I tutor Algebra to high-schoolers, asshole).

I see why people don&#039;t take you seriously.  My mistake for having fun with a rhetorical question.
&lt;b&gt;
PS, are you going to post your source for the assertion that the Gitmo prisoners are &quot;random foreigners&quot;&lt;/b&gt; or are you just hit-and-run posting stuff that you can&#039;t back up.</description>
