Title: Manny needs powers that be to care about him

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.

I want them to act in ways that keeps the government out of it as much as possible because anything they mess with they manage to screw up.

... is ironic.  Little does this idiot know (or believe if shown to him) that the Dems in Massachusetts don't care about his "Ted-Kennedy-lovin' moonbat Liberal" butt either.  Even Teddy himself didn't care about them.  They're either too stupid to recognize it and/or to proud to admit it.

I'm 55. I never thought anybody in power cared about my life. Starting with my 2nd grade teacher who gave me an F in spelling, despite my spelling all words correctly, because I tried to write in cursive, which we hadn't learned yet. It was, by the way, totally legible. Then there was my high school guidance counselor who looked at my Bs and Cs (in academic classes) but apparently not my IQ, and decided I might want to consider something other than college. Bite me, Mr. Anderson. After that it was downhill all the way.

Never had that feeling.  I've got my family around me and lots of love and fun therein.

I've never substituted the Government for my family and I never will...hence I'll never have that lonely depressed "nobody loves me" feeling you're experiencing.

If they wanted someone in Washington who cared about the little guy, they should have voted for Romney. He cared about the little guy, even if it involved a spanking for bad behavior. Call it "tough love".

Just look at Romney's personal life.

Manny, Manny, Manny.  The only way you can have jobs that are divorced from economic activity is by having them all be government jobs.  For that to happen, the State has to displace the private sector from the production and service activities the private sector currently occupies, with central economic planning instead of activity shaped by market forces.

Now which of those two models does that sound more like?  Kind of a trick question, I suppose, because to me it sounds more like Marxism-Leninism than either one...

That's just water circling the drain. Pretty soon it's all gone because nobody is gonna want to make toothpaste anymore.

A USSR joke was how many workers does it take to nail two boards together? One to hold the nail, one to hold the hammer, one to hold the first board, one to hold the second board, and one to supervise.

Democrats care eh? That's why they are going to be furloughing DOD employees one day a week. Creating significant financial hardship for those families? Yeah he and they give a damn alright. That's mighty evident when they are willin to play chest pieces with people's lives. Btw something you claim to loathe in private industry. If a CEO if say BP was furloughing employees a day a week and still limiting them to clauses that restrains them from doing little more then burger flipping for that extra cash you all would be gnashing your collective teeth over the 1 % you hypocrites
