How would you describe yourself politically?

Posted by bruni on February 15, 2009

As a new member to this forum I was wondering where our active members stand. I describe myself as a moderate who has been inclined to lean left as our government falls over to the right, well at least until this last election.

edit: After posting, I just noticed another poll that uses terms like Libertarian and Authoritarian. My intent was not to step on that poll. I’ll leave it to the moderators to decide if this poll is ok. Thanks!
Your thread is complete fail without a libertarian option, bro.

Two things to watch for: Illinois Gov and Auto bailout

Posted by bruni on February 14, 2009

Making 2 of my 2009 predictions.

1. Blaggo will get off with a slap on the wrist at the most because he has dirt on way too many people right now. The closer the trails gets to Obama, the more the pressure will be turned up to just let him walk.

2. More will come out about Bush Sr. and Dan Quayle’s ties to the Cerberus Corp who bought a shitload of Chrysler last year now that Bush Jr. just said "fuckit" to congress and gave them the bailout anyways.

2009 is going to be a fucking riot. Corruption going out, corruption going in.

So what does this mean for the future?

Simple Question: Where’s all the money going?

Posted by bruni on February 04, 2009

About a decade ago things were going well here in the United States, and pretty much world-wide. Now we’re in a huge deficit and the economy is in the slums. What about the world market? Looks like things everywhere are going sour. There obviously has to be some sort of pull on where all the money is going. There can’t be such a thing as "no one has any money". Who’s hogging the cash flow?

So where’s it all going? I doubt the world population and even distribution of wealth is the problem.
