Government chitchat goes here.

The Start
Politicians, and politics, suck in general. Most politicians are lying sleezebags, who tell the voters what they want to hear to get elected, and hyave no plans on carrying through on any of their promises. Seriously, Obama and Edward's promises to fix healthcare and government social funds that make it sound like all they have to do is get into the oval office and every problem will be magically fixed make me giggle. TBH, I can count the number of senators who actually wish to make the world a better place on my left hand. Democracy sucks, because people are stupid and gullible, i'd take a benevolent autocratic government over the U.S.'s current farce of a government any day. Assuming I'm in charge of course ;)--Goldenstar 21:20, 29 January 2008 (EST)

 * Politics don't suck, but you are right about the politicians. They give a bad name for those that do do the right thing, though they're few and far between. Bluemilkman /Talk To Me 22:29, 29 January 2008 (EST)
 * Dude, if you're saying Clinton is going to keep her promises, remember who fucked up our last try for universal healthcare just by touching it. --71.229.204.25 23:13, 29 January 2008 (EST)

Change "wikis" to countries. Lord Belar 22:23, 29 January 2008 (EST)


 * In my opinion, true majority doesn't work because the majority of people are stupid. That goes for both wikis and countries. How many people go and vote for someone because their name sounds cool? How many people go and vote exclusively along party lines? The million dollar question is which one is worse? Bluemilkman /Talk To Me 22:27, 29 January 2008 (EST)

Power
"Absolute power corrupts, and power corrupts absolutely." Do you believe that if you were to be elected that you would do no wrong? Does power corrupt, or are the people that get into power already corrupted? Bluemilkman /Talk To Me 22:30, 29 January 2008 (EST)
 * I think that second part is supposed to say "...absolute power corrupts absolutely." &not; Wizårdbõÿ777  ( sysop ) 22:36, 29 January 2008 (EST)
 * And the first shouldn't have the absolute XD &not; Wizårdbõÿ777  ( sysop ) 22:37, 29 January 2008 (EST)
