mikemur2 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Posted December 31, 2008 Can anyone tell me why people are so ingrained into thinking that there is any real difference between the political parties anymore? I hear that the Democrats are weak on defense and another 9/11 will happen if we elect them. I always respond to those folks like this: Are you kidding? Do you think any politician will let their cashcow go down in flames like 9/11 again? The money lost if anything traumatic happened to this country would make the current fiscal crisis look like a Sunday picnic. Oh, and one more thing, Social issues are just to keep the masses worried about things other than the fleecing of America.
tony Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 When I think about the welfare of the United States, I shutter and begin to stop thinking because there are just so many problems. Then again, there are problems in all of the world. But I agree, there is no difference between political parties it seems. The ideology of America is to make the biggest possible profit, and no matter who the candidate- it seems like they are only looking to profit themselves. I think that people worry about social issues because they feel like they could have some impact on the differences in general society. I don't think anyone really feels they have any power to change the government, but social issues are not as far-fetched to have an impact. Our society is completely dysfunctional, and I feel we are headed rapidly towards a collapse. At the same time, I feel completely helpless.
