How do you feel about our government doing what they please without our voice.

If that's not an example of liberal elitism, I have never seen one. The inbred, illiterate old man from down the street? That statement gives the lie to the concept of the Democrats as the party of the average man. When we are discussing issues like bailouts or health care reform we are not discussing understanding the mechanics of government, we are talking about the direction of the country. Certainly one does not have to be an attorney or a politician to know what direction they want the country to go in. If representation means "do whatever you want" then there wasn't much point in fighting The War for Independence. The King and Parliament already did practically whatever they wanted and as I remember it from the few years I spent in school, the colonists felt that was it was unfair to be ruled and taxed without representation. So, what is representation? I quote from the book "The Meaning of the Constitution" by Angela Roddey Holder: "Elections are held every two years for all 435 members of the House of Representatives. The men who wrote the Constitution felt that a short term of office would force the representatives to remain in close touch with the people whom they represent and would ensure that at least this branch of the Congress would remain in close contact with the will of the people." Certainly some in Washington may view themselves as superior to their constituents, but legally they are not. They simply stand in their stead, representing their interests and when they express clear opposition or support, that representative has no right to subvert the will of the people he represents and make his will supreme. I think you might prefer a more feudal form of government with a ruling class and a peasantry.

There is a huge difference between a real debate about the issues and the idiots fueled by the fascist right wing, using classic shout down techniques to squelch any discussion. This is interfering with our representative's ability to do their jobs. Politicians are already corrupt enough, this is just another way of corrupting them more.

Rollo, I'm having a hard time understanding how you got "liberal elitism" out of N4life's post. N4life expressed a sentiment I've heard from both conservative and liberal individuals.

its, you can still write your congresmen, or women, and most importantly, you have to vote, and get candidates that you THINK you can trust into office. You would be surprised how rewarding it is to go door to door and talk to people. I did this myself during the last election, and I have no regrets at all. I met alot of good people, and I might have made a difference. I wouldn't think twice about doing it again in 2012. I understand that people don't like Obama, but it really upsets me when people get upset over what Obama is doing, but didn't have one problem with it when Bush did the same thing.

The republicans didn't do anything that hasn't been done before, look at what happened before bush.....Clinton. And besides small people don't have a chance to get close enough to the White House. Only the elite that belong to the Illuminati. Most presidents were either with the elite or were movie stars. That leaves me out. I do have better ideas, but being a simple citizen, "with a legal birth certificate and some common sense" But still wont have a chance.

At least Bush showed his credentials that proved to be the real article, and not the toilet paper copy Obama put out on the internet. Why did he need an army of lawyers who by the way got payed with tax payer money, then talked to some of his buddies in the courts to seal his records. I suppose that was in the countrys best interest, to have some illegal alien come and be President? Who do you Democrats with the emphisis on RAT think you are? You all are a bunch of thiefs and fill your pockets with dirty money from your corporate America kick backs. And that is saying it in the nicest way I can. I am not as Republican as you may think. I don't approve of any polititions any more. And there are better ways to run a government with more power of the people, instead of the government telling us citizens that we don't know how to run the country. What a bunch of morons in the congress, or maybe not, because they still control the slaves who have little money to defend their rights, by changing the original laws of the constitution, to build a new world order. And you know damn well what I say is true, and you wont open your eyes. You think you will get your way from the Democrats, but down the road they will shaft us all, as soon as we turn around and bend over.

Nobody said anything about perfect. What I am saying is to prove that everything can be fixed without smokescreens being put up, like Obama's birth certificate, and health plan, what about how he said he would not raise taxes to fix the problem? Well listen to the latest forum from him and you will hear from his lips that taxes have to be raised to fix all this crap he created in the first place. We all knew that it could not be fixed without raising taxes, because they keep throwing money away to corporate welfare and the Big Pharma biz. You don't care about the direction of the country as a whole, just that your Democrat party wins their temper tantrums. Forget about which side your on and start the fix with the citizens rights. Where do you think this dumb idea of cash for clunkers is going? First, people who turn in their older cars wont see the money until they destroy your clunker, and see if your car was elegible for the program, or your credit did not go through, then the outcome is that your car is nomore, and you don't have a new car,all because they want your old car first and you have to wait about two weeks to see if you qualify, but your car was destroyed anyway, and your out of the picture and shoved out of the picture. You people are really dumb to be so gullable. The whole thing stinks of corruption. This money could have been better spent to help pay down the debt to forigners who are just about to be the owners of the US of A.

I agree about it not only an American problem but it is of the whole world, because of the fack that money is the fuel to start the fires of deceit and destroy all human rights with the hidden agenda being anything they can make a buck on. Even when a vote is taken as in Iran, the votes were not counted. This is something that will come around 360 degrees and bite them in the A##. But meanwhile someone will suffer through all the misdeeds of that government.

My misspellings are just a ruse. If you start about the spelling, then you are just making excuses to go around in circles, and not paying attention to the post, which is the important thing, not your drivel. Just another politician puppet in the rough thats your place in life, just pimping out the public to your ideals and hope you will catch more victims in your vile government wasteland. Go back and see other posts and replays of mine proving what I say is the truth. And I wont rely on any news agency to tell the truth, because they are part of your problem, in which you base your observations, not the truth.

Sorry, these posts are replyts to the great###****, not towards any other.
