WTF

[Setari]

Further proof that our politicians suck.

If this is really what was being said by the Senator I think poster is wrong and the problem really lies in lies in allowing lieing in political races. But I also notice the bad use of punctuation in the qoute. So, I wonder if this this is fully reflecting what and how the Senator said this.

Though, I have a really hard time stringing any sentance the way I want it also.

Lying is fundamental to politics. Being an idiot is optional but in style.

No, lieing is not fundamental. It is not neccesarry to lie so it is not fundamental. It is even easier not to lie.

Is it so easy? Can you name a politician who has never lied? Lying IS necessary in politics. Governments lie about things to keep the people from panicking or rebelling.

That right there is why I hate politicians. Republican, Demorat or third party... they are all lieing sacks of shit not worthy of running a country. If only there was some alternative.

Oh there's an alternative... monarchy! Atleast they tell you that you're getting screwed over.

I'd rather be pretty much blatently lied to. I support negative utopia.

I think your wrong, there are a few people that are truely out there to do whats best, you don't really find them amongst senators(though I think McCain tries very hard), but you get the occasional one in the house, I think Denis Moore is one, I've had a chance to talk with him.


Anyway in regard to the internet, there is no way in hell we're going to get good legislation out of our current congress.

They are too old to understand. It won't be untill newer generations get into office when we'll get the internet's proper rights sorted out.

Let me add to what I said. There is no better alternative to democracy that I know of. Comunism, monarchy and anarchy are all far worse. Democracy is the best by a long shot but it still aint perfect.
