It made my head spin. :/

GOOD! Keep the back-firing going! Sometimes I still can get a little hope going in the midst of what is going on in the US political machine.

I fear that the 2012 General is going to be a brutal mess with this kind of garbage. And there are so many people hurting in the US. People that deserve a government that gives a damn about most of us being able to just live and work and take care of our families.

Get ready for more racist ads- these jerks won't stop.

I love the mute button personally.

Any one else having a hard time with the debt-ceiling fiasco going on? I have had it with the political posturing (of both major parties, although the GOP wins my assbite award) and lack of regard for the real fear that the common people in the US will face if it is not raised. This is no joke.

Then again, if we default and services cease- it will probably take not being able to buy beer or cigerettes to get people to demand action- just like in Minnisota right now. Can you believe this? Social services that are to protect kids, police protection and fire services, etc. don't matter as much as these 2things do?

Sometimes I just want to scream!!!

Yes. I was talking to someone here recently about the reasons behind the lack of activism--or even acknowledgment--that is evident in the people suffering the most from this recession. It took a depression last time before people rebelled. I've been looking for the seeds of uprising on the net but there's not a lot of cohesiveness yet. I want to jump on something when I can find a group that seems capable of organizing something with impact.

yes, there needs to be a rebellion other than the Tea Party crowd. A common sense, reality-based rebellion that believes in compromise and working together without all the damn political posturing. I'm so sick of everything being about the nearest election cycle and who will win. No one is winning.

Congress has actually had 7 months to deal with the areas being discussed during this insane debt-ceiling debate. It should not even be debated!!
