I wish we could get rid of most of the current politicians and both parties and just find some honest people that care to fix this country and help people rather than attack one another over and over again.

I agree but I also wish many would become the change they so desperately want in the world. Practice what you preach or sit down because I don't see anything productive about hypocricy.

So it's our fault that jobs have been outsourced, the unemployment rate is at an all time high, gas is ridiculous, and every other home is being forclosed? You can't CHANGE shit if the current government is hell bent on not admitting there's a real problem in the first place!!!! That hypocrisy line is a joke.

Everything in your own life is partially your fault or your praise. That isn't a hard concept to grasp is it? I never said it's your fault for all the things you listed, but you sure do play a part in the outcome whether you want to believe it or not. I believe 10% in life is what happens to you and 90% of it is how you react to it. You can change your own life in so many ways that have nothing to do with the government. The government is a huge factor in the way our country runs but it's not as much as you conveniently want it to be. All of the things you listed you have power over in some way shape or form. There are many jobs out there to do, many just refuse to do whatever it takes to pay the bills, and sitting on unemployment is just easier. I know a lot of people who would work hard labor, something that they are not used to because it's available and they need the money. Some would never get dirty to pay the bills and are just too lazy, some have too much pride. I think it's a choice to be unemployed in my honest opinion, with a few exceptions. Whenever I have been laid off I have returned to waitressing, it pays the bills until I can find something better.

Gas prices are high, yes, unaffordable to many yes, ok what are your options outside the government cleaning that mess up for you? Are you too proud to hop on a bus or take the transit/train? What about commuting? I'd like to know how many people who complain about the gas prices have actually made the effort to solve their own problem and ask around at their workplace who they could commute with. Granted some people all these options are just not practical, but for the most part it's doable if you choose to solve your own problem. As for homes being forclosed, yes that sucks but who forced you to buy a house in the first place? Did you prepare for a worst case scenario; getting laid off, illness, saving, mortgage interest rates rising? I am still renting because I am not ready to take that on yet without a plan B. I don't expect that plan B to be planned by the government, as they create a lot of the problems we do face and they do assist with certain things but ultimately this is your life to plan out and overall you have more of a say in the way your life pans out then most here care to admit.
The hypocricy is directed to people who have a Lion's roar when pointing the finger at someone else yet when the finger gets pointed at you, your voice suddenly becomes silent.
Call me all the names in the book but I don't sit around feeling sorry for what I don't have and actually am grateful for what I do. I don't rely soley on the governement to solve issues I can try solving myself or take responsibility for myself. Complaining all day does nothing.

You have a different outlook on life than a lot of black people because your life is different from a lot of black people. You can't generalize here and then in another post criticize those who generalize. No one person can rationally make blanket statements for another (nor do they have the right to) and NO one person can rationally (or have the right to) criticize another for NOT viewing the world through that same blanket statement. That's kind of what you're doing here. Perception is reality and our perceptions are different, thus so are our realities, so maybe we should all stop and just agree to disagree.

I see what you are saying and my intent wasn't to make any blanket statements, but I'd be here for days posting away, and I was trying to get my "bigger picture" point out there. I have a different outlook then many black people, white people, asian people, italian people, green people, yellow people. Some people will understand what I am saying and respect it, take from it what they wish or insult it and me and act like they never read it. I wasn't generalizing everyone in the world. Any one person can take a look at their life and see which applies to them in the certain situations I mentioned, not to mention many more that weren't even brought up, and if it doesn't apply to you or you did nothing at all to contribute to the struggles you face then so be it, but that isn't reality for MOST people. Not EVERYTHING comes down to your color, some things do, then again some comes down to your sex, your sexual orientation, your class, your hair color, so on and so forth. My main point is something will evenutually apply to you where you do have the control to make an outcome different or a struggle a lit bit better and although the government plays a big role in our lives, it doesn't control you or your decisions in every single way.

I don't see anything wrong with taking responsibilty for the decions and things you DO have control over outside the government and at the same time trying to look at life as a glass half full rather then half empty. Sometimes it's too much to ask for some people to say "I see what you are saying, but here is my outlook and the way I see it". Some would just rather shoot something down completely if it's not aligned with their only way of thinking.

Hmm...

Can there seriously be one? I'm all for difference of opinions, debates, hell, even old-fashioned arguing but uh, have something to say? Make sense? Provide answers to what is asked.

NOBODY - not one Republican - has ever been able to answer this. Not her, not on TV, or the streets. How do you support an administration (now, campaign) that has told you, hell, exemplified that they will be NO different from the last 8 years, which have been the worst years this country has seen in over 80+ years?

I think its a fairly simply question. And that is why many people, Democratic or Independent, cannot quite wrap their minds around you, let alone, respect you. That's ridiculous!

Are you directing this post to me?
