1. Average Americans know..
When can we start a viable third party? We know the few politician's who really want to represent average Americans (95% of population), yet instead of letting them govern, we allow the money to rule us slaves... pathetic.

13. It's never gonna happen..
It will never happen here unless unemployment hits over 30%. Americans are just too lethargic about politics in general. We've been conditioned through the decades. Just look at the ridicule hurled at those of us who don't waste our time voting. It's a corrupt system and I, for one, will no longer participate in the farce.

2. Right on Raoul you hit the proverbial nail.
And a few months ago I posted here my idea how Obama could pull off a great coup by issuing an executive order that would open medicare to anyone with qualifying income regardless of age.
Needless to say few liked it and some believed that it could not be done....bush did it all the time.

But more and more I am seeing that we are being played like a 2 dollar banjo by both parties who have the ear and support of the monied interest and just giving us the good cop bad cop routine.

But I am glad that your wife is coming out and participating in your vedios...she is a great asset.

15. Thanks.
I'll convey your words of encouragement to her. She still is hesitant about doing them because of all the crazies in the internet like me. ROFL.

4. A party with SPINE. Women have had bigger "balls" over the past ten years
then most men have when it comes to political courage. Rachael Corie, Sibel Edmonds, the women of Iran, even Barbara Boxer. Enough with the concept of "balls" as a source of strength and courage!

10. I totally agree. "Balls" is sexist. We can just substitute the word "courage."
:) :kick:

12. The term is just a term, okay?
The term 'having balls' or not having them has NOTHING to do with the male gender - it's a synonym for courage. I've often said Hillary had bigger balls than Barack okay?

18. It's a gender based term and if the rolls were reversed you'd get it
Edited on Wed Jan-20-10 07:40 PM by Lorien
Spine works just as well, or guts. I'm personally sick and tired of men being labeled as "pussies" when someone wants to call them weak as well. It's sexism, pure and simple. Just because sexism is broadly accepted by our knuckle dragging society doesn't make it OK.

6. If the average person sitting at their kitchen table can figure it out...
How come the CONgress and Senate with billions of dollars and every convenience at their finger tips can't figure it out?

Home run: "We are stuck in the middle between the ball-less wonders and the Nazi fascist Jesus freaks".

We need a 3rd Party Now!

9. I like your vids Raoul
We can only hope they get "out there" to a vast audience. Of course, common sense ain't so common anymore. But it is refreshing to hear it now and again.

Thanks for posting!

14. You're welcome..
Thanks and I love your term 'radical' middle class because, in a way, it really is or I should say was. Our middle class in this country, at one time, had no equals in the world. This is why the rich had to destroy it - we pose a threat to them.
