The majority of republicans that liberals tend to dislike and complain about will not be at the RNC. So now you are complaining that they won't be there? Do you just like to complain?

I just don't understand people who deal in absolute....on either the right or the left. Everybody needs to compromise or nothing will ever get fixed in this country.

Mr Griffiths: Politics is all about perception! How's that expression go...fool me once...fool me twice. . .you might not like it or even get angry...and then get turned off. . .but what's the alternative. . .tell the truth!. . .That lost George Romney the Republican nomination when he told the truth about what was going on in Vietnam. Human nature has made telling the truth...a kind of "catch 22". . .when it comes to politics. So I guess we'll continue to see. . . the spending of hundreds of millions of dollars on deception. . .what is called perception.

Blah Blah Blah.....YAWN....

Bob's running out of material.

I think both the Democrats and Republicans are either in denial or do not want to discuss the vast amount of people leaving both parties to become Independents or what New Jersey officially calls "undeclared". This is a huge majority of people that don't like either Obama or Romney. People are tired of the fighting between the two parties, party bosses and basically both parties have become unrecognizable almost melding into one. I believe there is a huge change coming politically and I'm not the only one. Party heads have also noticed the departure of the once faithful on both sides of the house. We the people are tired of the blaming and the name calling and finger pointing and NOTHING gets done in Washington or on a state or local level. I think this election is going to be one for the history books and I think a message is going to be sent to the politicians that their little clubs are going to be disbanded and they will actually have to work together, start solving the problems facing this nation or be fired. I believe a lot of long time politicians that have held office for years will be replaced all over this nation. People are tired and when they get tired they get angry and when they get angry they take it out in the voting booths. By the time this is all over, politicians will no longer pander to their own but have kiss the asses of the Independents to stay in power. Keep playing the game, both sides will lose.

As usual I agree w/ so much of what you say Joe, but in light of the GOP recent exclusion of Ron Paul, I reserve optimisim that there will be political change. Regardless of how anyone feels about Ron Paul's political leanings - the fact that his platform was shut out should be of concern to all. The question is can a grass roots - (online?) organized political alternate ever beat the megabucks lobbying process we now have from the two more of the same bozo parties. Also problematic is the fact that one still cannot declare oneself as an independent. In order to vote in a primary one has to be declared a Bozo. Many people stay declared Rep./ or /Dem based on the fact that they will be registered at least half of the time. This mandatory declaration is I think unconstitutional and should be enforced as such. It is clearly time for organizing an alternative to what we have seen in the past two decades.

Is anyone as offended as I am when these phony politicians try to connect with us by having themselves photographed with a beer. Is that what they think of us.

These people are all super wealthy Jack@#$ who have lost connection with the real world and common people. Republican or Democrat..it's all wealthy out of touch people in power. As long as the white middle class remain unorganized and not seen as a voting block it will remain as such.

Name one Democrat or Republican in office at the local, state, or feder that would do the following:

* Repeal "Obamacare"
* Audit the Federal Reserve;
* Dismantle the Department of Homeland Security; enable the other alphabet soup agencies to do their respective jobs;
* Prosecute businesses hiring illegal immigrants;
* Dismantle the TSA; again, turn it over to respective alphabet soup agencies.
* Profile air travelers based on their history and/or probable cause; end the Constitutional abuses at our airports.

Liberty is precious folks -- once you lose it, it's hard to get back.

Romney is going to have a debate with himself prior to the debate with President Barrack Obama so he can figure out who he is and what he stands for.

Romney just tells you what you want to hear...

Republicans, do yourself a favor and don't vote. Chris Crisco will start his dramatic weight loss journey over the next few years and could be your president.

Do you really want Mitt Romney for possibly 8 years?

We have tried the Community Organizer in Chief and his cabinet of academic economic looser, now we need to try some one who has met a payroll, created jobs, and knows how to make money not print money or work under grant and hand outs! by, by BHO start collecting boxes you will need them when you are put out of the peoples house!

And i must say it scars the hell out of me that if some thing God for bid were to happen to BHO that nit wit Joe would be president!

Way more to talk about on the FED, but Rob Harrington and Aaron Krowne are better orators on the subject and our proposed solution. Will introduce them before the election.

First day on this site. Seems like it runs about 50/50 on political points of view. Interesting stuff.
