Then surely you're aware how high the GOP/Democrat bullshit ratio is? You know, assuming you actually care about facts/reality?

50/50?

[Reincarnate]

Wayyyyy off

nicely shows you how false dialectics/equivalencies get used when it comes to this stuff XD

[Emanresu13]

yeah actually i take that back

republicans want to run the country into the ground, and try to get people to think otherwise

democrats want to run the country into the ground, but they're (mostly) honest about it

funny vid


typical democrat: i have this terrible plan for the country, everyone follow me!

typical republican: i have this decent plan for the country, everyone follow me but as soon as i get into office i'll backpedal!


generally, dem's fiscal policies suck; gop's social policies suck AND fiscal policies suck but they do an alright job of hiding that. so much, that people define them as "fiscally conservative" when they are not.

i know, sorry xD. if i stop being so lazy i might look some stuff up. nothin off the top of my head because i usually file details of this kind in the "not useful unless internet debate" section of my brain, which is pretty much emptied weekly.

just to be clear (this determines how much effort i'll put into this), you aren't looking for "why i think X system of gov't is bad/good", but actual dem/gop examples of dirty politicians making stupid decisions? if the latter,


i'm sure you'd enjoy this:

i hate not knowing if crap i find online is legit or not, and validating it by looking up a half-dozen or so sources in agreement takes too much time.

for a rough idea of where i stand on these matters, i'm a libertarian/capitalist/anarchist... whatever that means <_<
