What is it about politics that makes people go insane?

Quote:

"Our government is corrupt and inefficient."
"YEAH!"
"Let's organize and protest!"
"YEAAAAAH!!!"

......later.

"They ignored us...."

"Next time they'll surely pay attention!"
"Yay!"

Heh. The political left is still a huge source of amusement.

Not unlike the political right, with their anti-abortion, anti-gay, prayer in schools protests, right?

What gets me is the constant stereotyping and labeling that goes on in the political circus. Spin-doctoring contributes heavily to this, as it's all about shaping people's perceptions, usually in a negative and/or exclusivist way.

Who said communists love taxes? There's no such thing as tax, in a communist government, it'd be self-defeating. All of your income comes from the government, everyone gets paid the same and has the same access to the same number of assets.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Have a question for you though; Has the status quo changed on any of those issues? From where I'm sittin' they haven't. They just get stirred up every now and then for political means. Politicians are great at ignoring people and using their ideology against them for political ends.

Which is exactly my point.

Bush was re-elected because he used homophobia as his platform. He got people behind him by catering to a bullshit social issue.

"I thought the 2004 campaign was about how to defend our country and improve security, but apparently it was a referendum on boys kissing. Somehow, I must've missed that memo."
