Return to Politics is the condition of Being Bought and Paid For
 
Being Banned from Left wing sites or Right wing sites is all the same. Trough Feeders feed at a trough and they cant stand any challenge to their paper mache egos accredited though they be. Its what they do. Seek advantage through narrowly defined issues, attempting to polarize opinion, frame their strengths as emotional postures, and hope that their emotion transfers to support of the miniscule numbers needed to sustain the largess they purposefully live for.

But the truth is, there is no difference between the Right or the Left. They are both Bought and Paid for.

Every dime thats wasted by Politicians is wasted by the collusion of the Bought and Paid for. In one cycle the Left occupies the head seat at the table of largess and in another cycle its the Right. Each side has the consent of less than 19% of eligible voters, combined they rarly achieve 30%, the independents lend weight on a shifting basis to the gross participatory politic. Still, all voters right, left, independent, combined rarely hit 50% of eligible.

Make no mistake, neither side gives a hoot about anything but their own time at the seat of power, their own time feeding on the largess of their entitlement. Neither side recognizes the simple truth that despite all laws and all money on the side of the political parties, they still cannot garner or motivate more than 50% to support for the collusion.

The greatest constant in American Politics is that over 50% see through the maze of systemic corruption, to the heart of collusion, where world influence is pedaled and postured as if there was actually truth behind the noise. Let this thread enlighten you, for it is your own reform that is required. Let these words of Thomas Jefferson remind you;

"Ignorance is preferable to error and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong." -- Thomas Jefferson (Notes On Virginia)

Its not the non voters who are cynical, its the parties,, who persistantly apply their flawed thinking to the problems of the day, to wit, intelligent observers are supposed to bend. The great numbers of those who surround you have a message to all inertia providers, "get out of the way; amend your own trough management mentality, contribute something besides your own bought and paid for, stulltified self interest, framed by the fictions, engulfing you". Here is a good place to start your Self analysis.

Drudge is reporting; Preliminary: Senate Ballots cast: 31,591,495 (D) 25,054,569 (R)... combined vote 56.6 million.

Despite the population going over 300 million for the first time ever. 83% of the population is eligible. 23% of eligible participated.

Compare this turnout to say 1994 when total votes cast for Senators was 57,716,000!

Result 12 years later voter turnout was 1.1 million less than 1994. Despite the above mentioned data.
