Quote from: Listen Large on November 11, 2005, 07:37:32 AMAs for the fact about the money they have, all politicans are richer than we could ever hope to be.There is no politician that will ever come from the ghetto to be President. It's just impossible, becuase if you ever hope to be President you have to be born rich.Which I think is unfair, becuase this country was built on letting everyone have a voice.If eveyone can vote, why can't everyone run?They can try, but no one will win, and that upsets me more than any political descision.That's the system... what's even worse though, is that Bush got into office like a King would.. by heritage.

I don't give a shit about the money they got, but for you two it seemed to be an issue. Trauma pretty much argued that Kerry is a bastard blacks shouldnt vote for cause he's rich. That's of course an absurd thing to claim, but I let it slide. So in consequence I felt like I had to clear up that Kerry ain't got the money from filthy things, like Cheney. Which makes him less of an asshole in my opinion.
Here's the thing about unions. Unions started out as a good idea. But over time, they have just become so corrupt, and bullshit, that unions of today stand for totally different values as the original worker's unions in the 1800's.Unions weren't always full of bullshit.

They sure are full of bullshit today, though, aren't they?

The Southern Democrats are a seperate party all together than actual Democrats. Throughout the U.S History there has been an evolution of political groups. During the time of the Civil Rights movements, the most important thing about a lot of people's beliefs had nothing to do with their political affiliation but more of the region where they are from. Southern Democrats at the time does not = Democrats

You said you have to be born rich to become president. I was just showing that you don't have to be.

It means you have to to what your told, keep your mouth shut on certain things, and know how to bullshit the masses.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^I'm not disputing that.
