Ever get the feeling that virtually nobody with power gives a crap about your life?
Actually, I'm lucky to live in a state where government actually functions well and gives a shit, probably because 80%+ of the legislature is Democratic. We're those crazy Ted-Kennedy-lovin' moonbat Liberals, don't 'cha know!
But at the national level? More than ever, We The People are now no more than an annoying acquaintance they have to put up with at special occasions. The two austerity parties are facing off over who we little people will blame for the fallout from their gifts to the Predator Class. The drones are high in the sky, looking to shorten the secret kill list. More children sleep hungry in cars each night.
Several good friends have gotten austeritied out of their jobs lately, good people with great credentials who are now scurrying to avoid becoming road kill. Found out tonight that the company where I used to work is entering a new phase of fecality in its inexorable death-spiral since being acquired by private equity nitwits.
One way or the other, this $&@#s gotta stop. Hopefully the FDR way, not the Hitler way.
Godspeed, everybody. Hold on tight, tight.

No Manny, I don't feel that way, mainly because unlike you I'm not a *****. You admit you need a gov't to hold your hand and care about your daily life. I do that on my own. You see, I'm not a liberal, I'm an adult.

29. I definitely have a feeling that nobody in power at least from the GOP cares about my life. While there are some things I disagree with the president and other elected Dems on, I can at least tell that they're working harder to get the country back on the correct path. For example, even though health care reform was unpopular, Obama did the right thing and fought for it anyway. Also, the country's debt has lowered during his time in office. There have been over 30 consecutive months of job growth. He ended DADT. He has ended one war and is winding down the other. He signed the Lily Ledbetter Act. He extended tax cuts for middle-income and lower-income people. He proposed a Jobs Bill in 2011 to Congress, which would've put many Americans back to work. And the list goes on.
There is no way any of this would've been possible with a President McCain or President Romney. Both sides are not the same here.
National debt is lower and jobs have been growing at a greater rate than those who are losing jobs or just have quit working. Hooray!
Some of you supporters of Dear Leader need to at least wipe his jizz from around your mouths before you post.

5. They remember we exist every 2 years when they remember they need to tell us enough lies that we will go out and vote for them. The rest of the year, their knowledge of the country is confined to what lobbyists choose to tell them when they're whoring for enough cash to get out there and lie to us again during the next election.
No, they don't give a shit. We don't give them the big money, the junkets to conferences that just happen to be in fancy resorts, or the stock tips so they can retire rich. Why the hell should they care? The system is stacked against it
If you believe that, why do you willingly do thier bidding by pulling the Dem lever every 2 years? Surely you're not stupid enough to try and claim the Dems are more caring and compassionate than the Repubs so you're voting for the less evil? You're not stupid enough to try and make that same old worn out argument again, are you?
Sure you are.

14. Yep. All the time.
Sadly, this might be one of the few things people all across the political spectrum agree on.
Not really.

37. They remember us every election, and then promptly drop us like a hot potato right after.
That's because you're mindless kooks. Even I don't blame the Dems for ignoring you freaks.
Lots of the typical whining. Not a single one of them willing to accept personal responsibility for controlling their own lives.
