I think anyone with common sence would know that Jesus would vote for
Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich or Mike Gravel! and that is why America is home of the retarded sheep!! If it wasn't, then these candidates would be at the top of the polls!! But NOO!! American votes on who is the best
liar and not who has the honest history and doesn't bow down to corporate interest and war mongering, fascists!!
Jesus would want to throw out all the money changers.Sounds logical that he would vote for Ron Paul."Give to Ceasar what is Ceasars and to God what is Gods".
Ha! They would obviosly choose someone who supports the Greek lobby!
: )
I agree with unwashablebrain above, that Jesus was above politics. The difference between Jesus and Zeus or Apollo is that Jesus actually existed- depending on a person's beliefs he was either the son of God or just a man, but he did exist...
"my kingdom is no part of this world. if it were, my attendants would have fought so that i might not be delivered up to the romans. as it is, my kingdom is no part of this world." translation: jesus wouldn't vote, ya idiots.
James. Good material. I am still waiting for thousands of daily views on your reporting. Its good stuff. Quick and comical. Room service anyone? James serves it up fresh and warm (even though I still can't believe he can't make up something funny about $100/barrel of oil and the indication that recession is around the corner)
I think the reason James doesn't get the massive number of viewers that he deserves is that he doesn't choose a partisan stance. People just want to hear someone validate that their side is totally right & the other side is evil! That or they want to watch mindless vids of morons making fools of themselves!
I don't think Jesus would be very happy with any of the Democrats or Republicans, as even the best have sold their souls to their choice of special interests.
I think it's safe to say, however, that if the mother ship returned Dennis Kucinich could count on the illegal extraterrestrial vote!
Great piece James. Truthfully though I don't know how people get the impression that you are blaming the Democrats for the low approval ratings for the executive and the congress. I just got the impression you were referring to bad news there because, unlike the President, who is term limited out in 2008, the Democrat Rep.'s and Senators are running for a re-election of their majority with the same names there which offers some possibility of bad news. Great episode.
Exactly! It's like when the Repubs had their big wins under Clinton-promising major changes in Congress but it was more of the same. Dems promised they'd get more done but are going to a 4 day work week & many supporters are mad because promises to end the war haven't been pushed. You see people attack James if he doesn't declare their people the saviors of America!
It is sad but you are right, and I think it comes a lot from the cult of personality politics that are out there. All of the sudden, as you say, he or she must be the savior of America and there is no room for debate, anyone who might try to look at things unbiased (and I will confess that is not me, I am partisan) is condemned. But James does a terrific job, whether he is looking at flaws inany party, he tries to get to the heart of it and that is reporting, not reciting press releases
Democrats such and their leadership is terrible. How they managed to become more hated than an incompetent President would take work. The American people are looking at both parties as failures, the Republicans will be rid of their number 1 problem soon, the dems are stuck with several hundred problems in Washingon.
What bothers me so much is that out of all the candidates there's not a single one on either side that I truly like or trust! All have a few things I like about them, but a whole lot more that I dislike! I know there have got to be some really good people out there but it seems like it's impossible for them to make it through the party bosses!
Geez... some people did not like your comment. I for one agree. In the Republican Party the only one who actually has stood up to offer leadership to the Republican Party has been Ron Paul... seriously, I am not just pandering... its unfortunate that he is the only choice for real leadership out of the GOP.
@zaeroqI'm a democrat, and even though he may be against welfare, universal healthcare, ect., I love that he sees right through the corporate ties in our wars and makes it one of his primary concerns to end them. Not to mention it would save us around $10,000,000,000 per month.
There are serious integrity issues there that we need to consider, along with this mentality that a lot get that once they get elected they will never lose their seat, or that they have the right to it. I have known a number of politicians before and after they got elected, we joke that its surprising how magically their iq's jump 200 points after elected. None of this is healthy for democracy and it builds complacency and apathy.
I saw the story of Alexander Hamilton on PBS last night. It showed that he ended up feeling a failure because he was one man not willing to compromise his beliefs & felt that at all times you must tell the truth to the people, which made him very unpopular with other politicians & the people. I do believe that most prefer to here what they want to hear & not the truth!
That's very true as well. Churchill once said, Politics is about predicting today, tomorrow, next week and next month and then telling people after why it was wrong. We buy into it all hookline and sinker because it is the easy thing to do but government and governing is about making tough choices and tough decisions. People need to know that rather than letting it be self interest orientated, with politicans and voters.
Yeah, I think that even the idealists who get into politics, with ideas of making changes for the good of all, end up there & find to get anything through the old bureaucracy, they have to make deals & compromises to their beliefs. After doing so over & over, they have not changed politics, but it has transformed them into the thing they were going to change!
If you keep crossing that line you draw it keeps getting further and further from where you intended it to be doesn't it? Truth is though, as much as we may complain about it or feel it we let it change us too because often times we feel either powerless or because we meet it with cynicism. So instead of getting out there and demanding change we wonder whats the point? We need to be out there front and center demanding change and, as Ghandi once said, being the change we want to see in the world
Only someone who is ultra-partisan would see it that way. Does Bush have extremely low approval ratings? Yes! Does the Dem controlled Congress have an even lower approval rating? Yes! James often points out Bush's troubles but he mentions the troubles with the Dems & all of a sudden he's "rebublican trolling"? Maybe you should just stick to DNC press releases...
That is very true, whatever one can say about James and his show, he is fair and balanced in his reporting of everything and I have really come to enjoy his take on current events.
It is general incompetence and bickering, the war being unpopular does not help.
No mater the party, the government needs an overhaul of personnel. Competence is needed. Voters need to get educated and choose fresh outsiders to rebuild our political process before it is too late.
Last time government was in such bad straits, we got a Ronald Reagan. Unfortunately, the front runners of both parties are sorely lacking in ability to be what that man was.
Exactly! Each party has some differences, but in reality they are all a lot more alike than different. Whoever is in power gets sucked into preserving a bloated, inefficient government that sucks the blood from the citizens. When either side claims that if they get back power they'll change that, they may or may not mean it, but when it comes to implementing change, they always fail!
I liked the line from Tommy Thompson that sums up a bit of the sentiment that ends up too often happening "We set out to change Washington, but Washington changed us".
Everyone needs to just define themselves as not being the other guy and we find a bit of a void of new ideas which is kind of sad. You are right though, the level of bickering has reached new lows and we need to move past it. Disagreeing on ideas and policies is one thing, questioning records or credentials is important but blatant mudslinging divides the sides for the wrong reasons and frustrates everyone else
Yeah, if either party truly cared about America and its citizens they'd focus all their attention on fixing things instead of fighting each other, making themselves or their people rich, etc. Of course you can look back through history, like Roman times to see politics has always been this way!
I have said it before and I shall say it again real and sincere change will have to come from a grassroots effort by all to reclaim a grander sense of what America means and what America is meant to be.
i liked it better when you had the pencil puppets and a whimiscal, but informative and unbiased approach to politics. now, it's all just whimiscal. peace.
