Actually, you can narrow it down even more. Take a look at the financial industry and check to see who is not losing any money. Or, look at which businesses in the financial industry are NOT failing. Banks are still failing (a bank in Central Illinois failed just last week), so it's not the banking industry. Check the "guest list" for those $1,000/plate fund-raising dinners and see just who the guests are affiliated with.

Uuummmmm... NOPE. Not that many generals and admirals in attendance. You'll have to look to the civilian population.

That's right. Just follow the Judas Goat.

Was that even necessary?? I bet you won't say that at a Truck Stop around a Group full of Brothers...

This is one of the reasons why I like the fact that politics does not rear its ugly head around here on a regular basis.

Actually, I'm glad when it does come up. It seems to bring people out of the woodwork that don't normally seem to post anything. And, this seems to be staying reasonably civil... We're not throwing mud and slime at each other, but the discussion is certainly more lively. And, I get a chuckle out of the things that others, and even you, post.

i have, and will continue to do so, especially when 'brothas' who speak up, seem to always say the same thing, and it always sounds so rehersed. Wonder where they plagiarized that from, cause you know it isnt their own thoughts. BET maybe??

Funny how you ask one exactly what Obama's talking points are, and what he stands for, most couldnt tell ya. They only voted for him based on skin color. And the proof is in the pudding, cause 90% colored voted for him, and only 50% crackas did.

but seriously, it dont matter. politicians are only put in office to give us all the illusion that we are really in charge.

i dont 'follow' anybody, Gus. i actually do something most americans don't. I'll gather as much info about a topic, then formulate my own opinion.

See, i have two reasons i dont vote. 1st...its meaningless. the crap that gets shuffled around dont mean a thing. 2nd, i believe if you vote, you have no right to complain. I know people will turn that around and say, "..well if you DONT vote you have no right to complain...", but where is the logic in that. If you vote...and you elect selfish ignorant leaders and they get into office and screw everything up, then you are responsible for what they have done, YOU voted them in, YOU have no right to complain. I on the other hand, who did not vote, who didnt even leave the house on election day, have every right to complain as loud as i want about the problem you created. But i have solved this little problem, i do basicly the same thing as those who vote, but whem i'm finished masturbating, i'll have a little something to show for it. ;-)

Actually you have rights because you live in a democratic society.

That's not complaining, Kevin. That's whining. There is a difference. Someone who tries to change things (by voting) and fails, complains about it. Someone who does absolutely nothing to try to change things whines about it. So you're admitting you are a whiner.

so what, you got a problem with that?

One of the reasons the system is failing is because the people don't get involved as they should be.
