So the presidential elections a few months back here were all just an elaborate fraud?

They usually are.

Care to back up that riciculous statement?

Forget that, I would be amazed if he could explain how any part of that post could possibly make any sense at all.
It must mean something, after all it has words and everything, but in all honesty they do just seem to be some random words thrown together.
Is yubba really a room full of monkeys hitting the keyboards as an experiment to write the works of Shakespear?...it would seem the more logical explanation

Gee it's almost sounds like you guys never heard of voting, it's like you can't remember 2010. I know your in denial, I know it must be awful that your dreams of a Socalist Republic here in America has been dashed, so sorry, but there's more of us god fearing, America loving folks than the commie nerds that are protesting in the streets and we will prove that at the polls, so if you want to be a commie might I suggest you move to Cuba I hear that they started flying there, good luck getting the internet there, give me a call and tell me how that works out for you.. Herman Cain will fix this vote Cain

^Definately a room full of monkeys

We'll to clarify some ''statements'' made in this thread, we in the EU, we even in the Balkans know what elections are and we will have ours in december

We know what elections are since WWI. While a true multiparty republic came to being in 1991, mayors and other representatives were elected by public vote loooong before that

yubba.

Keep up the good work, you are a more than adequate representative of the average conservative voter.

Cuba sucks, I am as American as you. I wash and live on my own too. I have a job and a basement that no one sleeps in. Not all of them are pinko commies, this isn't the 60's McCarthy.

Be nice to my brothers. Remember the French Revolution?

I will vote for Cain though, for now that is.

Keep up the good work, you are a more than adequate representative of the average conservative voter.

Was there any need to be that insulting?
I suggest that you apologise to the average conservative voters.

We'll to clarify some ''statements''

Is there any need for clarification? It woulkd be a fair guess that an as yet undiscovered tribe living in Papua New Guinea would get it even if they didn't know what an election was or where Europe is or even how to read what was written.

I do apologize. I am a huge fan of all humankind.

I almost tried to describe to him what a parliamentiary political type system is, or a how a constitutional monarchy works...But ya know...

Yubba probably thinks Papua New Guinea is in Europe. "It's one of dem ferrin' contrys ain't it?"

The French revolution sucked, the question is, if we win these elections are these folks that are in power, going to heed the wishes of the people, I don't think they are going to give up anything without a fight and that's scary. This administration is tearing this country apart, in the soul purpose to start a revolution, to start violence in the street, so they can crack down with martial law, this is the only way they can stay in power, what happen is the left couldn't wait they jumped the gun, and showed us who they are, thank god the Tea Party folk have laid back and not entered the fray, the lefts nightmare has come true they have their army on the street, and have an enemy they can't see, it must be unnerving too them, hats off to the silent majority, for you would make fine sub skippers. Now I've heard of a room full of monkeys trying to type fine works a couple of times in here, now is this the same room full of monkeys that typed out Obama care, and his new jobs bill that he is so proud of.

Gentlemen....

Lets not be insulting. While I am on the same side of the fence as yubba (obviously a bit closer to the fence...), there is no need to make fun of him.

He stuck his foot in his mouth regarding elections in europe. We all know it. It's been pointed out. Lets move on to the topic instead of avoiding it.

The issue with the OWS movement is that, unlike the Tea Party, it lacks a directed purpose. Some protesting are against "greed" - they disagree with TARP and other bailouts (which so does the Tea Party), others disagree with capitalism entirely. Some want serious tax reform, others call for revolution and an overthrow of the entire system. Some advocate peace, while others encourage and partake in violence.

Until the movement can stand as one and say "this is where the issue is, and this is the solution we want to see" without the solution being a violent end to the society that has been built in this nation - they will be seen as a fringe group - regardless of how the mainstream media wishes to portray them.

For those that doubt this - there is a historical precedent. Richard Nixon was re-elected in a landslide while there was a fervent, vocal and very publicized anti-war and anti-government movement. Yet, the "silent majority" spoke clearly, 47 states went Nixon's way. While some of his actions as president are worthy of scorn and derision, the example in this regard stands.

The vast majority of the country is not willing to see the entire system torn down - violently or otherwise. Until real platforms for significant and REASONABLE change comes from the OWS movement, they will remain a fringe.
