I mean, just check out this video... This is Paul Ryan just a few months ago. He gave a press conference about his "anti-poverty" economic plan.

What does he use has his back drop to this speech? A bunch of black women. LOL. But yeah, I'm the racist one. The fact is that when conservatives think of the poor and of welfare, they make sure that everyone knows they are talking about the blacks.

Sorry if you don't like it. But it's what they do.

Quote:The US election system will always trend to a two party system. It's a mathematical certainty.

And the difference between the two is so minuscule, it's laughable. Somewhere along the line, the power of the people turned into political divide. I'm no historian, but I can best pin it to the 2000 election.

Somewhere along the line, neighbors changed from friends to enemies over ideology, and the truth is that the figurehead that is president does little to change that. The current one has vastly overstepped his grounds IMO, but still, what has really changed? Not a whole lot.

Americans are really fools when it comes to putting their faith into people who in most cases have their own interests in mind to begin with.

It's the one part that has been exploited that the founding fathers didn't see coming. Very sad for this nation.

What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Goes way back before 2000 heck Jefferson warned a two party system was a huge threat to our way of government
