Politics: Left, Right, and Center National, state, regional, and local politics. Who's doing what to whom, and what you can do about it. How-to-get-action messages are encouraged. "How the government fucked up my life" stories are encouraged. Sharing new methods for cheating on taxes is encouraged. Sample "letters to congresscritters" are encouraged. Apathy and "I can't do anything" posts are discouraged. Left, right, centrist, or any other form of political-economic systems are all up for discussion. Be prepared to defend yourself, or at least have a good line of bullshit ready. Extensive quoting of economists and philosophers is frowned upon. We want to hear what YOU have to say, not what some constipated, impotent, dead guy dreamt up while suffering from the DT's over a hundred years ago thought.

No one could have guessed that there would be an insurgency.

No one could have guessed that record tax cuts for the rich and pork barrel projects would have led to the largest deficits in history.

No one could have guessed that the stop loss program would destroy morale and decimate armed forces enrollment.

No one could have guessed that the use of torture would destroy the ability to convict "terrorists".

No one could have guessed that offering rewards in impoverished nations for "terrorists" would cause people to turn in their neighbors, without cause, so they could simply collect the money.

No one could have guessed that ignoring the Palestinian problem would exacerbate Middle East tensions.

Geeez...no one could have guessed that the idiot son of a former President...a son with no business acumen and a record of failure in every undertaking he has been involved in...would become the most pathetic, inept and the worst President, of ALL TIME.

Who would have guessed a country founded on libertarian ideas could fail so hard?

Who would have guessed a democratic majority could elect an idiot?

Who is guessing now that Obama, dubbed by MTV as the coolest president ever, will fail at fixing this mess?
