A bunch of puppets controlled by the same puppet master.
I am also thinking of not voting on the 14th in our Great White North election.

the NAU and the Amero will make their debut soon Richard, and no one voted for them.
so much for free speech and voting, it is all a fairy tale.

Just so you know even if I don't vote for either McCain or Obama, I will definately vote in all the state and local elections. I've skipped an office or two in the past when someone I didn't wish to vote for was the only choice for that office...
Maybe I'll write in Ron Paul...

If the US keeps heading in the current direction, we may just as well adopt the Peso... Besides, FRNs aren't money anyway, we're just passing debt around.

since all fiat currency gets devalued to zero eventually, they want to start fresh with another fiat currency.
even the talking heads at CNN are now mentioning the NAU or even a union of the Americas.
pretty bold.

I think this comment and the others referring to "booth bunnies" is not on the intellectual level I was hoping to see with this thread. Think I'll tune out now.

We were very proud of our Constitution. After all, it is the creation of the Constitution that we celebrate every 17. of May, our national day. But it contained some ugly sentences, like that jews and jesuites are not allowed into our country. That sort of rubbish removes any magic feeling of the whole Constitution. - These are articles, out of several, that is being totally ignored today.
There is a broad majority that wants the Constitution changed, but the technicality behind a change makes it possible for a small minority to block it, - or block changes that brings any meaning. Deadlock, you know. What would be the best is that the military takes over in a coup. That's my suggestion.
That's easy. Just show up down town with some of our old Panther tanks (let's hope they start, they were notorious during my stunt in the military) and let one of the generals show up on TV, and that would be it, really. They have done this in several South American states and in Pakistan recently, - so why not Norway?
This will not happen here because that 'everybody' (even convicts in the jails and immigrants that not yet have status as Norwegians have the right to vote - local governments) gets a card in the post confirming that they have the right to vote. Still the participation is falling. The young people does not seem to bother.
Students from Eastern Europe tried to be 'election observers' by the last Norwegian election - they were at first waved off as 'unnecessary', but did the observation anyway. They registered several issues that should be adressed, - to the shock and horror oof most Norwegians.
Like that we no longer have an envelope that we put the voting card in. Your vote is just a paper folded over. Now it could be possible for people around to see who you are voting for. Scandal, if you ask me. Then they have noticed that in poor regions of Norway, people tend to stay in long cues to vote, while in richer neighborhoods there are not cues at all. They also noticed that it was technically possible to vote on several places at once, under certain circumstances, - if you had just recently moved from one adress to another, within certain dates, but they did not find any examples of this happening (as one paper wrote), but that was because they could not access the counting process since they were not accepted as official observers!
If you look for the perfect democracy; look elsewhere. In other words: Norway should have a international observer corps observing next election and authorities (the illuminati, you know!) should make the changes that this observer corps advice them to.
But what destroys our democracy is our media. Before we had a rigid system regulating exposure time on TV assuring that the different parties got equal TV time. Further; the media was more diversified. Not anymore. Now, the conservative media push 'Phil Gramm sort of guys' down our throats. This is a problem in most of the western world and should be adressed.
The worst example is Russia. There the communist party has been blocked from the media alltogether during elections. They still got 25% of the votes! Had the communists participated in the media on an equal bases as the other parties they just might have won!

Welcome to the USSA-United Socialist States of America.
Americans wanted change. They got it. America got to choose over a war hero with 23 years of Senate experience, or a Freshman Senator with scary friends and radical (for Amreica) social policies. They chose the guy with creepy friends and a Socialist agenda. WTF America!?

Hack.
... a war hero who's crashed three planes, who was captured as a direct result of his own stupidity, who willing gave intel to the enemy during his imprisonment, who has somehow skated through life concealing his mediocrity and incompetence with a strong family name and dubious political connections.
