I was born a Democrat, later in life I became more conservative, so I went Republican, now I am so pissed off at both parties I have become an Independent. I am to embarrassed to belong to either of the two main parties because all they do is argue, and never get anything done.
Is anyone else tired of the two party system in Washington lining their pockets with cash, promoting their own special needs organizations, they can't agree on anything. Why is nothing getting done? Why are they wasting so much of our money on thing we don't want them to? ??
Well, people of the United States sure has "forgotten" their God ,,, along with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. (NO, I am not "Bible-thumping Christian." But I do follow God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. ,,, full-blown ,,, without them ,,, I truely admitt - I would be ape-crap (aka "crazy" ) We do need to repent and ask God for forgiveness ,,, and if we just followed him, his Son, and the Holy Spirit. Lord ,,, how things would change and how we would actually respect each other the way we all should ,,, the whole earth ,,, starting with "Congress"
Don't blame God, these people do it on their own, God has nothing to do with theiving pratices. Are you kidding me? What a insult to God.

I am just sick and tired of both of the parties putting spin on everything spewing out rhetoric everywhere, trying to make each other look bad, meanwhile our country goes spinning down the toilet.
Anybody else tired of this crap? They take the facts on the issues and twist them to make their own party look good and the other one bad. But, they both do the same thing, criticize the other guys. Is this why the Independent party is growing more than other parties.
If you think the Democrats are for the poor and Republicans are for the rich, that's not necessarily true anymore, both of them have ton's of wealthy contributors. So tell us what you think about what's going on in Washington and what can we do to change this country for the better.

I have seen so many politicians promise the world only to deliver at best, not much. They will say anything to get elected and once there, they just do as they please, politics as usual. What a shame, you'd think if they gave a rip about this country, they would keep their promises and do their best to improve it.
This country has been going down the toilet for the last 50 years at an increasing rate of speed. If these wanabe leaders would just put their money where their big mouths are, maybe we would see improvement instead of the opposite.

I think we need less government in our lives, and less spending, hopefully this next election will enable some of the politicians to get some real changes for the better, done?

politicians are unable to do anything anywhere nowadays! they have no real power! the CEO of facebook has more power than most politicians!
they cant make any decisions or policy without including the non-elected representatives of major international organisations!
we live on a world that could supply us with everything we need very easily, but the shareholders would not make anything out of it!
its an unfair greedy system. if you have it you will get more, if you have very little, they will take it from you!

I think we should all get our name on the ballot. If we all got on the ballot the game of running for public office would be more like a lottery drawing. As is we have a very few people running for really well paid jobs and ask for my vote! That's outrageous! I must get on the ballot and then try to convince all of you not to get on the ballot too and vote for me instead.

The problems we see in Washington are best dealt with by the people...that is US...we are the people. Citizen groups become a force for change by winning friends and influencing people positively...not radically...although the result usually appears radical. PAC Political action coms influence congress quite a lot in fact. Special interest groups can help.

I love this country and democracy, I'd hate to see it start leaning more towards socialism. Which many have been warning about lately. It's a shame how the country has been going in the wrong direction for the last few decades.

Unfortunately, the positives of our political system are also whats destroying it. We vote someone into office, regardless of party, and expect them to do the job they were elected to do. Then the moment he or she takes the oath off office the party that lost to the winning candidate proceeds to dis-agree with literally EVERYTHING that candidate does so THEY can hold that office 4 years later. If successful, the party that lost will do the exact same thing to REGAIN the position it just lost. HENCE, NOTHING GETS DONE. I could go on with many other negatives about politicians but my fingers would break typing it all. I'm fed up with the whole lot of them.

Someone with a Brain (and a heart ??) THAT WOULD BE SO REFRESHING. !!!!!!!!!! P.s. something to thimk on ,,,, I have always wondered ,,, if you really give a crap about the whole situation as a politician ,,, (had a brain ,,, and a heart ,,,, love for your people and your country ,,,) why would you have "someone" write your speeches (Isn`t the politician that is "suppose to know what is what" ,,, not "someone" telling the politician ????
Thanks papa, I joke around when I go down to the courthouse and tell all the employee's to vote for me for Congress. They get a kick out of it.

First, God has removed wisdom from this pack of parasitical wolves; resulting in dishonoring God, the nation and themselves. The majority of this den of thieves have evolved into mindless lying mucous; and along with the occupant of the Oval office, are driving our nation over the precipice and into the dust heap of previous great nations.
