Politicians are elected to "Serve The People" and they do.&amp;nbsp; They Serve all the rich people in the world and now that those Rich people are losing their wealth, Washington is scrambling to fix it.&amp;nbsp; If you remember your nursery rymes, "Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great Fall."&amp;nbsp; Looks like there will be enough scrambled eggs to feed a country.&lt;br&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;GOD BLESS YOU&lt;br&gt;Mike&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb001_ZNxmk788OPUS" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/8/8_3_15.gif" alt="Easter Cross" border="0" height="85" width="85"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font face="Courier New"&gt;&lt;font size="3"&gt;&lt;font color="#ff0000"&gt;It's all up to him now.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;http://countryvalues65.tripod.com&lt;br&gt;http://community.adlandpro.com/forums/thread/1064573.aspx&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Created By: 192260</description><link>http://community.adlandpro.com/forumShowPost.aspx?PostID=1127376#1127410</link><pubDate>Thu, 02 Oct 2008 03:38:30 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: bipartinship ?

&lt;DIV class=description&gt;The Bipartisan Policy Center was established in 2007 to provide a forum for national dialog across party lines.

&lt;DIV class=description&gt;Four former Senate majority leaders joined together to establish the nonprofit organization and serve as its first advisory board: Howard Baker, Tom Daschle, Bob Dole and George Mitchell.

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000080 size=3&gt;Interesting topic and worth while discussing.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000080 size=3&gt;True bi-partisanship could be a thing of beauty but in most cases it boils down to self interest of the parties involved. Not necessarily for the good of the "people" but to find temporary favor in the eyes of their voters and to eventually line their own pockets in one way or another.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000080 size=3&gt;Finding a politician that is there "for the people" is like looking for a needle in&amp;nbsp;a haystack. There are a few but not enough to cause the desired change within the present system.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;In my opinion, the whole two party system is corrupt, so if we held a vote on which party was the most corrupt, we would still not be able to answer the question for they are both equally to blame.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;There are no poor politicians, this we know, and most are millionaires plus, then we know, but what really stinks is when they can hide behind pork barrel issues while lobbiests can line their piggybanks with donations to campaigns where they can all legally tap money for whatever reason they can justify as an expense, meaning everything.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It is obvious we need change, but from an empty suit politician, who could really believe anything these self serving liars have to say?&amp;nbsp; We have all been lied to from start, on every important issue, yet all we have a choice to vote for is another bobble head politician. Public is finally a little smarter, just look at the approval ratings of congress, surely will be less than 10% by they end of this current election season. lol&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; JoeLee, you have brought up a very interesting question about bi-partisanship. How many times have we seen such a concerted effort on the part of congress to pass a bill that actually did something " for the people ". They can't muster an ounce of bipartisanship when it comes to veterans benefits, health care, vote fraud. They come together nicely though when it is time to fleece the flock.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Mike made an excellant point when he stated that&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;" the whole two party system is corrupt ". As long as we keep believing that at any given time, at least one of the parties is for the people, we will continue to live our lives at the mecry of both parties. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; With regard to the Big Bailout, two things come to mind.&amp;nbsp; " The Con " and " Extortion "&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Just about everybody knows about the con man and how he persuades people to hand over their money for the sake of either saving more money or actually making money.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Extortion is a bit more complex. Here are two definitions of extortion. Can we see any of the elements of extortion present in the bail out package. I believe we can if we look close enough. Close as in Neon Sign From 2 feet away.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;EXTORTION - The use, or the express or implicit threat of the use, of violence or other criminal means to cause harm to person, reputation, or property as a means to obtain property from someone else with his consent. USC 18&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The Hobbs Act defines "extortion" as "the obtaining of property from another, with his consent, induced by wrongful use of actual or threatened force, violence, or fear, or under color of official right." 18 U.S.C. S 1951(b)(2). &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

How is this possible ?</title><description>&lt;font color="#a52a2a"&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hi Lee and all,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Good question and some good thoughts.&amp;nbsp; I would like to give you the most simplest answer possible in explaining what has happened with our political friends.&amp;nbsp; The reason everything has gone so bipartisan and governing for the political crowd is that the common everyday person has quit.&amp;nbsp; It is that simple!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;How many of the people you know are stuck behind a TV every day?&amp;nbsp; How many waste their time doing things that will not help them or others improve their futures?&amp;nbsp; How many write or call their representatives each week?&amp;nbsp; How many attend political functions in their areas?&amp;nbsp; How many try to ask the person in political office questions directly?&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You see, the majority of us don't do the things necessary to keep our elected politicians in check.&amp;nbsp; Here is a website that every American should have bookmarked:&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml"&gt;http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;The people have quit communicating to the politicians so the politicians have quit listening.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Like for instance during the bailout speeches, one speech stood out to me (not to pick on anyone in particular, but these thoughts fit our discussion)...&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;font color="#a52a2a"&gt;"During this evening’s Senate vote, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)
explains that she received 91,000 calls and emails, with 85,000 of them
opposed to the measure. Even armed with the knowledge that 93% of her
constituents passionate enough to contact her office pleaded for her to
vote “nay”, she votes in favor of the bill, claiming that “there is a
great deal of confusion out there” and these people “don’t understand”
the situation."&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;font color="#a52a2a"&gt;Our politicians no longer thing WE THE PEOPLE understand issues.&amp;nbsp; Maybe it is justified?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We can CHANGE this, by how often we communicate with our elected officials.&amp;nbsp; Don't just write, email and call the Federal officials, call your locals too.&amp;nbsp; I believe that WE can change the venue of politics, by being optimistic and involved.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;GET INVOLVED!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Joe&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br&gt;Created By: myGetX2ONow</description><link>http://community.adlandpro.com/forumShowPost.aspx?PostID=1127376#1130610</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Oct 2008 12:28:43 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: bipartinship ? How is this possible ?</title><description>&lt;P&gt;Agreed,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Well stated Joe, and exactly right, and this is the problem with our broken two party system, we the people are not being represented honestly, never mind the fact we are not being respected at all by all these politicians.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The real issue is as you stated, our representatives are not listening to the people, they are nothing more than bobble heads which largely follow their party with no care what we think.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It is more than obvious this bail out has done nothing to help the people,&amp;nbsp;just look at the markets, it went down 800 more points and&amp;nbsp;although it came back a little, it is an out of control situation, and all those bobble heads who voted for bail out are the real ones to blame.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;There is enough blame to go around in both parties, but the bottom line is we no longer matter, just look at this massive debt which is being piled on our shoulders, no matter what party&amp;nbsp;line you vote on, you are going to be hit with the responsibility to cover this bail out, so remember that when you vote next time, check who voted no, and&amp;nbsp;forget party lines, vote based on what you know, not what these lying bobble heads are saying as to reason why they voted yes.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;A yes vote was nothing more than a coverup of truth.&amp;nbsp; If people&amp;nbsp;knew the real reason for bailout, they would be outraged, and this truth will come out sooner of later, but as most think it was to&amp;nbsp;bail out wallstreet&amp;nbsp;and banking, it was really about bailing out all those&amp;nbsp;who&amp;nbsp;bought this toxic subprime junk, and this includes more of the world banks, so&amp;nbsp;although it was the wanstreet hedge funds that started finacial collapse, this bail out was for world banks, not U.S.&amp;nbsp;banks.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As you hopefully know, we are a debtor nation, we owe trillions, and when world banks were threatening to&amp;nbsp;call in their loans, the U.S. economy would have totally collapsed, so this was the real reason to first bail out world banks and buy back this toxic hedge fund mess which world banks mandated the U.S. do first, and this is why the $810B was needed right away.&amp;nbsp; If not, then the tillions in debt would be called in, and guess&amp;nbsp;what, the U.S. can't&amp;nbsp;cover&amp;nbsp;paying back trillions overnight.&amp;nbsp; So when&amp;nbsp;the truth comes out, remember which bobble head politicians sold us all out.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;br&gt;Created By: DriveFree</description><link>http://community.adlandpro.com/forumShowPost.aspx?PostID=1127376#1130670</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:12:28 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: bipartinship ?

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I can no longer blame the shortcomings of our government on the unwillingness of The People to participate in political affairs. This may have been the case a decade or two ago but not now. The people of this nation have risen up in numbers not seen since the 1960's. We do recognize the danger that we are in as a free nation and we are speaking out in hugh numbers but, we are being ignored to the point of being just&amp;nbsp; another oppressed nation of whiners. While impeachment has been off the table according to Nancy Pelosi, it has been very much on the table according to "The People". Just look at the number of sites on the search engines where impeachment&amp;nbsp;is clearly on the table of " The People". Why is nobody listening?&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; During the reign of the present administration we have witnessed the single largest assault on our constitution in our entire history. Our government now openly violates constitutional law, the Geneva Convention and virtually every other law known to mankind. Through the use of " presidential signing statements " President Bush has systematically dissolved nearly all laws of the land and has reduced the powers of the congress to the point of being little more than two roomfulls of rubber stamps. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.coherentbabble.com/signingstatements/TOCindex.htm"&gt;http://www.coherentbabble.com/signingstatements/TOCindex.htm&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;To really understand what has been happening with our government and our future as a free nation , I believe we only have to look in two places. First, the signing statements above.&amp;nbsp; 2nd, we need to look at the&amp;nbsp;provisions established&amp;nbsp;in the&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;FEMA REX 84 Doctrine. After&amp;nbsp;comparing the objectives of the FEMA REX 84 project with the signing statements of G.W. Bush, I believe it will become very clear to anyone, which direction we are being led in.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rex_84"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rex_84&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size=3&gt;Now, one final thought. Considering the implications laid out in the signing statements and the rex 84 project, doesn't the recent bailout bill take on a whole new light. Doesn't it appear to have been designed to create the kind of civil unrest that could lead us to a declaration of martial law. The original bill went directly against the will of 93% of " The People ". Then they rewrote it and added another 150 billion dollars worth of pork just to make sure that " We The People " strongly opposed the bill.&amp;nbsp; What would anger " The People " more than taking their homes and their retirement accounts? Where will the millions of people go who have lost their homes and life savings? Is there a FEMA camp in your neighborhood?&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
