Sure just read what you hate and harp on that one point only, to invalidate the ones that are relevant. (Works for Fox News and MSNBC)

Why are you so in favor of the status quo? (honestly, you don't think something is wrong here?)

Really guy? In favor of status quo? You are participating in the Cain threat driving the Libs crazy correct? Honestly, there is something wrong here...at PA Ave. Wall St is like a kid given a lollipop. They ate it all without sharing. What did Washington expect when they handed the lollipop to banks?

My issue is protesting at Wall St make very little sense and you agree as well. However, do these folks believe Wall St is going to do anything? Do you think Obama who embraced the protest is going to do anything? No sir...status quo is what is going to happen.

The first step is speaking up. Nothing else can happen unless people speak up.

And don't you understand that it is more of the same with Cain?
More of the same on steroids, his "change" is to go further along the path that got you where you are. Cain isn't status quo he is doubleplusstatusquo

Yes, but little less steroids than the other running who are part of the status quo. A little less than the establishment. At this point I would vote in Gumby.

Can I ask you to respectfully reconsider changing your vote?

Mr. Hand is running for senate and will fillibuster anything Gumby tries to do. With a firm "smash"

Vote for Lady Gaga and the vice president Pee Wee Herman (Paul Reubens)

I mean, we couldn't be any more of a joke than we are.

And I apologize for accusing you of supporting the status quo, we really aren't far apart IMHO.

Pee Wee does funny things in the darkened theaters. Lady Gaga is much farther out than Pluto.

No reason to apologize. I do support some of the status quo. All be it a small portion. And honestly, I see plenty of injustice every Friday. It starts in columns such as Federal Income Tax, State Tax, MED, SS. MD M4 and 401KE(that really is the sham of all shams) We have been hoodwinked on 401K retirement plans. That is whole other thread.

Never happen. To much money involved for campaigning.

No they will crumble. Both sides do not want change...

But if this fails, the next iteration will be alot worse. (Look at Rome's versions of the protest)

Only thing that will heal us now is a bloody revolution... As is our right in the Declaration of independance. (need the quote?)It's why we don't have all our guns taken away like other countries...

Sorry, It would truly suck, but money wins right now...And the protestors are not moneyed enough to be represented....

We are not as far apart as it seems. None of us as Americans are.
