that 10 mill for the koch bro is incorrect it was 75 mill
they spent nearly 20 million in nc alone on the midterms and have nearly 1 billion earmarked to buy the 16 elections
Nope. Says both sides ran a total of 1000,000 ads. Doesn't list a single penny spent by Kochs. Does say that Americans for Prosperity bought ads, but that means nothing. I've contributed to them too. Maybe it was my money?i was wrong , it was $100,000,000 in nc for the midterms http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/election-2014-north-carolina-expensive-senate-race/story?id=26612465
You're pouting of things not done yet. And are you also decrying the billion(S) Soros already spent on Dems? Or just the 56th most spending Koch's? I care not who spends what on politics. Its their money, just like the various unions spend on politics- its their money. We all should be able to spend on what we believe in with our money.
You're quite the subversive aren't you???? Those kind of actions will bring down the entire American oligarchy.You're pouting of things not done yet.

Spending isn't the problem in politics. Having only 100 million voters or less show up and vote is. Normally a Prez is elected holding only 55 million votes. Out of a nation of 310 million people, probably 200 million eligible...
And, obviously, most have no idea of Civics and government, since people on here don't realize they vote for Central (Marxist) Control, instead of a Representative Republic...
My idea has always been to move Election Day to April 15th and make it a national holiday. End tax withholding, so we have to write a check. Pay taxes in the morning, then go vote for the rascals that caused it. End all campaign laws except that the politicians must list (maybe wear a NASCAR type uniform showing their sponsors) their donors to the public so everyone knows who owns whom. Tax and spend would end the first year.....
Then you're all with me!?!?!?You're quite the subversive aren't you???? Those kind of actions will bring down the entire American oligarchy.

For s post that wasn't going to be long about the communist manifesto,. You just recited all of chapter one... And you know I can find and match the paragraphs...
We've been a Marxist-leaning nation since 1913. I can shoe proof of that too. But its easier to just link to long blades posts. Those prove Marxism is in our education system...
Your 'points' went unread by me. After the first three sentences began a rehash/ regurgitatuon of Marx(after saying you wouldn't) I admit- I skimmed to see if my name was mentioned, then skipped reading the whole long sermon.... Those posts of yours actually read like Marx; even the ones where you don't repeat his thoughts. His droning on and on must be contagious? Again, that's not an insult, just an observation. You might get more to read them if you break them up and liven them up, instead of long Marxian droning/ lectures??? Frankly, you bore me!Well...for me that was short.....you know me....... Now to your point...... You can take all the time you need to do your mix and match routine.....but it might be quicker, not to mention more pertinent, if you'd respond to the points in my posts rather than your rehash of the well worn Manifesto lecture........
Your comment has little, if anything, to do with any of the points that I brought up in any of my posts on this topic...... They were certainly long enough for you to have gleaned something from them.....
I'm sure we can reach a disagreement on those points as well....
I will need to consult my accountants first, before I commit my vote to you..Then you're all with me!?!?!?
Convert all your currencies to diamonds, platinum and/or gold. Then join any cause you choose.I will need to consult my accountants first, before I commit my vote to you..

Pilot, is a rose by any other name, not a rose? (citing Shakespeare). Marx, Tennyson, Poe, and Kipling were contemporaries. Let's examine them, and their lessons.
Tennyson wrote the Charge of the Light Brigade. Its a true story of mismanagement. 600 men were sent into an impossible situation because bosses couldn't question the stupidity of their superiors. Yet they persevered.
Poe, his inner self heightned by heroin, took us to the most inner fears of Man's Guilt. I love The Raven and the TellTale Heart.
Kipling shows in Copybook Headings that Man will return to the same fallbacks no matter how often hurt. Pigs will return to the mire, the burned finger returns to the fire.. Mankind is lazy. We look for copouts.
Copouts brings us to Marx, and why his writings could be yours. Or long blades, or abfers, or Obama's. Its 10,000 posts of 'the working man can't win, because the corporatists stole their wealth from us'. Over and over and over. Rinse, and repeat. It inspires no one, but it sells to the ignorant. It's the story of jealousy, and victimhood. If I have to read it, Marx us more interesting than pilot. Sorry....
Actually, it fits your posts on wealthy controlling politics. Only reason I posted itSince you like to pretend your the "thread police" sometimes.....I feel it's my duty to remind you that this post is off the thread topic......
Only in your mind. I turned down the mod job several times. I'm just a guy with a keyboard that intolerant people can't agree with. Look, albag and i are opposites yet we get along. Plenty of others too. Not you tho...Always an adventure.Since you like to pretend your the "thread police" sometimes........
