Soup, That explains that annoying pause the politicians give, waiting for the applause, at the end of every third sentence. It is so blatantly staged. Scary stuff. I can just see "PAUSE NOW!" written in the margins. The more I'm thinking about it, I realize that, they all do it. How refreshing would it be to have someone break from the pack?

Soup,
More people voting. This is what everyone was screaming for. Now we have 120 million knuckleheads selecting themselves as candidates, so such, a couple select academic achievers because that's who they are, but the average american is Homer Simpson.
Bush is a lot like Homer, and not surprisingly, Mr. Burns, his VP, is calling all the shots. DOH!

Now that's I've read the entertainment culture theory, that one works for me too. I think that it's a mixture of the two. Plus, the crossover, when entertainers tell dumb people who to vote for. Esp. dumb entertainers. Britney has nice boobies, and she likes Bush, so, Might as well Bush.

I just started scrolling down the thread - only got this far and have to get back to work. But this caught my eye:
Quote:Vietnamn was messed with and messed over for decades - first the French then the US. After the US left, it took only about 15 yrs for some type of SOP to return. If other countries left the M.E. TOTALLY ALONE, do you think it'd really take that long for them to recover to some type of regional stability?
Avoid occupying foreign territories as much as possible while distenagling the mess we made- which will take decades to undo seeing as it took decades to create.

USBrowncoat,
That's one of the reasons I have a hard time watching either of the two major parties national conventions during a Presidential election year. Although I guess we should be thankful that it's really something that hasn't caught on at the Senate or Representative level (unless it's someone who has aspirations for the Presidency). It doesn't make sense to expend the resources necessary to try to massage millions if you're running for a district that's already gerrymandered to the point of noncompetitivity.
And at the highest level, you really can't compete with the resources that the President has at his disposal. There is a special office, that really came into it's own in the early nineties IIRC, that manages all the President's appearances. Advance teams going out to arrange the stage (lighting, making sure the colors are right, figuring out the best time of day to stage the event, setting up the backdrops - which are another topic altogether, finding the right people to have on the stage with the President and keeping people out of the event that might not be 100% enthusiastic). All of this, of course, is being paid for by us taxpayers.
There are some good stories about these staged events. Here's a short one. There was a speech given in the midwest in a warehouse filled with boxes. The backdrop that was created had the slogan for the day ("Strengthening America's Economy") along with stacks of boxes saying, "Made in the USA." But the real boxes in the warehouse were from overseas. So the advance team went through with tape and taped over the country of origin ( http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/01/22/bush.boxes/ and, for a close-up on the backdrop, http://thereitis.org/displayarticle286.html ). You can tell where the backdrop starts because the boxes are a darker color than the real boxes.
dreamtrove,
I don't buy that more people voting is a problem. I do think that more people voting is a threat to the status quo. Take, for example, what happened in Connecticut recently. There was a local movement to challenge an incumbent Democratic Senator who many Connecticut Democrats felt was out of step with the views of their state. These were politically savvy, issue-educated voters who decided that it was time for a change. Enough of them made the decision that the incumbent lost the primary. It was a record turnout for an end of summer primary in an off-year election and thousands of people registered to vote for the first time.
So what was the reaction? You would have thought the world was coming to an end. The incumbent refused to listen to the voters of his own party and formed a new party. As of today, at least six Democratic Senators are backing him against the winner of the Democratic primary. The White House is refusing to support the Republican nominee. The Vice-President and other influential members of the Republican party and the pundits are saying this is a victory for al Qaeda.
There is a message here from the politicians of both parties in Washington, DC to local state parties. What you think doesn't mean shit. We know what is best for you.
Okay, that got long and went off course.

have you guys heard of the constitution party? its become very conspiratorially christian over the last few years, but i believe it is the perfect medium between the left and right extremes; and its platform is the constitution and its preservation, which is the only thing preventing the NWO agenda from becoming the status quo. you should check it out if you can...

Soup, good stuff. I had never heard that one. What a joke. It is so unnecessary anyway, why go through the trouble? The average politician thinks we are a nation of fools.

I agree with Kaneman (who's apparently only sometimes a troll), good analysis Soupcatcher

I actually know the constitution party, talked to their people. I was on a forum which michael peroutka was on, I'm assuming you know him.
The problems with the constitution party are twofold:
1. They are a christian party. As such, they can't get elected in a nation that believes in separation of church and state, and in a nation of people where the number who believe in that policy even to the point of rejecting favoratism towards their own religion is very strong
2. They simply aren't organized to pull in the numbers. I believe last election they pulled in 17 ballot spots. If you're not getting at least 49, you're not getting anywhere. The total numbers for Peroutka '04 (he's a great guy btw, and would make a great president) were worse than Nader's. (under half a mil I believe.)
The only way this sort of thing is going to work is if everyone in the third party movement can work together.
Essentially, the serious players are Reform, Greens, Constitution, Libertarians and a new group called New Frontier, which is actually half of the former reform party USA. If all of these players got together into one political movement, and they could come up with one unified platform (the greens here would have to settle for an environmental platform and accept limited govt.)
BTW, a poll last election cycle asked do you support or oppose the concept of environmental protections, and it came down 99% for, 1% opposed, so there essentially is no popular resistance to the idea. What kills the greens is that they support a marxist labor platform, which is the kiss of death, and the greens themselves, who are as disorganized as anyone else (they're level of infighting is insane, but they actually do run canidates for lower office.)
Other parties like the SWP are both very far out there politically and have a miniscule base of support. Adding these guys would be like adding the Nazis, ie. it would lose more votes than it would gain you so why bother.
I would support a coalition which had constitution in it, but I can't support them as a party by themselves at the moment. They're basic nature is an oxy moron, as it is a christian party, (even peroutka admitted this, and he was a very level headed guy) and it is way too close to that church state line for the general populous. They also don't have the numbers by themselves to be taken seriously. But in alliance with some other factions, there could be a movement there.

The war between that camel jacker pedophile mahomet with his gang of bandits vs the rest of civilisation has begun ever since the crap called islamism exploded from the Middle East, that is not to say you need bomb or invade them all
perhaps the war can be won for example by dropping funny cartoons instead of bombs
