Memory lapse

I don't post much anymore. There is not much outrage left in me these days. Things just go from bad to worse. There was a time I could remember and reiterate all the shenanigans in DC, from just juvenile personal behavior to outright lawbreaking but there is just so much happening so often that I can't remember anymore. One scandal after another after another after another. If ever a government was broken, it is this one. None of these candidates can do a thing about it and I believe that is because of American complacency. We have brought this on ourselves.Oh so many people are worried about Barak and his lack of experience. For the last 2 elections we have placed and replaced in office a man with no experience whatsoever, one who with all his advantages had never even been out of the country but nobody cared, complancency. Less than 50% of us vote. Impeachments could be issued left and right but none of us seem to care enough about what is going on to pursue that. This administration has been conservatism on mega steroids. Not only do they believe in less goverment, I think they believe in NO government at all. I really do. They just do what they do, everybody walks, incompetency abounds, I can't even begin to address the Middle East lunacy, New Orleans, leaks, leaks, leaks, lies, lies, lies, paranoia runs deep in the heartland, etc. Politics are about the most inconsequential, unimportant, ridiculous bits of fluff to ever fill the airways these past few weeks. The only thing I care about this election is "Can you fix it?, any of it?" I don't care if you are a Hindu, a Jain, a Lutheran, a Mormon or a Jehovah's Witness or nothing. I don't care how many times you have been married or if you are gay, transgendered, have children in prison or on drugs or both. I don't care what your position is on same-sex marriage or abortion. Can you fix this broken government. Can you get us out of the middle east. Can you get us health care. Can you educate our kids. Can you explain to those opposed to immigration in terms that they understand that the problem lies with American greed, our broken government and the fact we all seem to need to have someone to hate...this time its the Mexicans and no matter what anyone says, when illegal alien, immigrant, whatever word is used, translation is Mexican. If all the immigrants were blond-haired, blue-eyed Swedes I don't think there would be much of a "crisis." The immigrants didn't take over the auto industry or the clothing industry or any of the manufacturing industries. We gave them to China. Having lived 20+ years in Florida with immigrant workers I don't know when it was they became a "crisis" but I suspect it was when someone in DC needed diversion from a truly criminal act and hating is so easy. None of us can really save this country. Creator can but, IMHO, until we start having the courage to behave with honor and dignity towards our fellow man and the creation that Creator has loaned us to live upon, I think we are doomed.

I would like to see some time-lapse
photography starting back when she was not too bad looking, and even slightly amusing in a couple of movies, up to the tattooed, unwashed, stringy-haired freak of today. Most 'entertainers' change over time, but this woman has positively mutated!
Short memory span?
Is there a reason why you repeat yourself over and over and over and over and over and over again? Rehashing the same ridiculous complaints over and over and over and over and over and over again?
Why don't you post the butt in a chair thing a few more times? You guys have called us more or less drugged out hippies with references to what we must be smoking, what we must have been doing in the 60s and our hookahs. You ain't exactly perfect. Now if I post this paragraph about ten more times you might get the idea, right?
More like outdated and slanted memory!
Your sources are 4 and close to 5 years old and the primary sources of the first article are Foxnews.com and another source that has the catchy address of reasons-for-war-with-iraq.info. So you're saying that the reasons-for-war-with-iraq.info website is more accurate than the Pentagon and the 9/11 commission? As I always say, I want to read stuff that's not from far-far left or right wing sources. I also want it to be a little more timely.
Well, Obama has selective memory when it comes

may I refresh your memory... respectfully...
George Bush had the same absence of checks and balances in his favor.
Didn't really work for us, right? Let's see how it works swingin' this way.
Memory does not serve you correctly.
began long before the dems to control of Congress. Do some research before you spout your partisan blather. That is exactly what is wrong with this country and this board. You are too busy placing blame, whether deserved or not, to realize that you do not know the truth. You believe spin, not facts.
Look up Glass-Steagall, Gram-Leach-Blilley, toxic mortagages, and packaged derivatives if you really want to know how this began. If not, well continue to blather.
Don't bother to respond. I am not bothering to come back here. I thought this board would be different because it is MTs who use their brains for a living, but I guess MTs can be trolls too, as proven by a majority of the posts here. Luckily, I did find a board where, even though they disagree, they do so with logic, intelligence, and reason.
Good luck to you all. You are going to need it.

They were on their own board. THAT IS THE POINT. Who cares what you think?
His memory is no more 'selective' than the current Pres..
and his cronies...
you brought back a dear memory for me
My late Mother, who was Pres. of the County RNC (with 6 kids, mind you), used to tell us kids, "you just wait." Boy, was she ever right. I was going to fund-raisers for Goldwater in grade school, so that gives you an idea how old I am (51).
Anyway, Mother had these stickers s she'd put on letters saying "America is a Republic, not a Democracy."

You have a selective memory...not surprising for a liberal.
No, Lollipop - no copy/paste......my memory serves me well....nm
