Current Events

voting for president is a waste of time. They know who they are putting in.

Repub-dem is waste of time. The politicians just pander to an area that will help them get in with no care about 2 way viewpoints.
Government just influenced you to pick a side they defined for you so you have stupid debates with the other side.

Definitely.



So obvious.

Debates.......they're stupid....

The government is also scripted, it appears. #HailHydra

You just now realized it?

I already know it will come down to Hillary Clinton vs. Jeb Bush so they can keep it in the "family", (Rand Paul is who I would vote for, because I like how Ron Paul didn't conform) but I took the poll anyway. Didn't even know who Bernie Sanders was until I saw him on the news twice yesterday. Once for having his rally raided by protestors for a woman who died in jail in Waller County (he said he agreed with their views), and then he had a rally in Houston that had too many visitors so they had to move it to a larger venue on the UH campus.



Left-Wing
Your political beliefs would be considered strongly Left-Wing on an ideological scale, meaning you tend to support policies that promote social and economic equality.
I have some "old school" republican type beliefs, but value freedom and anti "illuminati/bilderberg control"

Most government employees and contractors dem etc

.... no. No they don't. Maybe the 20-somethings who by-and-large vote dem anyway, but ...

I always think of Chris Rock's one standup when it comes to politics

Though I think even in real life it's becoming more like a virtual firefight.

I always seem to post this here when it comes to politics

Well, having dealt with government employees and contractors over the years I have never met one that was interested in voting for smaller government or cutbacks in their sector....perhaps you have met the selfless ones.

Well, that is a valid point. There is a lot of hypocrisy involved. I worked with one that railed about government waste (I don't recall if it was related to our project or not), but give her the choice between her job and a smaller government ... yeah.

But in general, the non-20-something contractors I've worked with have been ex-military. Which tend to be Republican in my experience, but that may also have something to do with location.

I've never actually worked at a union shop. Interviewed at a couple places that had unions, but none I've worked at. That, obviously, would make a big difference.

[steelerfan]

Yeah, there are always multiple factors but the union people I've known have been Democrats and it is pushed by their unions.

Remember, I said never interested in smaller government or cutbacks in their sector. Get a gop candidate that runs on across the board cuts and watch those military contractors run the other way. At least the military is something the feds should be involved in...

[JeffHCross]

You also said Dem. I thought about it some more at work and came to the conclusion that union and industry could make the difference in our experience. I work IT, and there is little to no union work there. The assembly line is completely different.

But I agree, a GOP candidate that tried to cut the military wouldn't fly with those either.

This is just more of the morality police. This is bigotry against animal - human love. It was their private life and who can say what is moral, morality is merely a cultural construct .....fire up the next civil rights movement......in 20 or so years

One day, God Liberals willing, Ram will be able to marry that sock.

Yep there is ZERO difference between the legal argument/logic used in Obergefell from laws against polygamy bestiality marrying your PS4 etc...

Neighborhood looks decent too...maybe he thought he was on an episode of Punk'd.

Guy is lucky though, could have been alot worse for him "resisting arrest" and talking like he did...doesn't take much.
