So I'm watching the Nightly Business report and the phone rings. Its Kritz having a phone town meeting so I join in to listen. They ask to press something (I forget) to ask a question. The first person that got was someone from Westy saying blah blah I know your kids I know your wife and I work in Bedford and had a flat tire on the way home from work(so what) If I didnt have to travle to Bedford to work blah blah blah. Also my son just graduated from UPJ and cant find a job in Jtown the 3mins of blah blah blah. So I hung up and watched my portfolio go down the shiiter and then turned the TV off. Did anyone else get this call?

Unfortunatley the track record of every politician for as long as I can remember has forced me to make a decision I thought I'd never make. I will never vote again!!!!  My reasoning behing this decision is, no matter who wins an office in gov't through an election fails to meet the needs of Joe citizen. Big business run this country. The politicians are just their minions.
People have often said if you don't vote you can complain. I feel thats the exact opposite of reality. If you vote and your candidate gets elected, you can't bitch because you helped put him in office. It does't matter any longer who wins the election, they all are controlled by lobbyist representing millionaires. Those millionaires actually run the country. They control the media in every aspect. They only let us see what they want us to see.
So from now on I will never vote again, so I can bitch.

I feel the exact same way. After being optimistic when obama was elected i can say ive never been so disappointed in my life.

My sister got one of those calls from Bill "handed the reins from Daddy"  Shuster.  She said some of the question people asked were really freaking stupid but he gave those wonderful political answers to everyone one of them.
