Money 'corrupts' US election process - 25 Aug 2008

At least $250mn has been spent on the US elections for both the Democrat and Republican parties.

Al Jazeera's Rosiland Jordan in Denver explains why watchdog groups in the US argue that too much money is corrupting the way a president is chosen.

Corporations control politics, the media and popular culture.

Yet again the proof is there, so what are people going to do about destroying the corrupt, inane and grossly inefficient US system of government?

republican and democrate followers are very different and both are protesting this government scam in their own way... we are catching on but still devided

What people need to realize is that the two party system of democrats and republicans is a big scam to divide the American people and hide the true opposition. The truth is that less than 5% of the population controlls more wealth than the other 95% combined. The problem is that most people do not understand or know the truth of our world and thus power is consolidated into the hands of a few. Perhaps someday enough people will wake up that we might change our world, change our reality.

Well, actually, there has been news of the RFID chips in the mainstream media. They seem to approve of it's use as one clip calls the first Florida family to recieve the chips "brave". Why are you laughing? They're gonna chip you too, it doesn't really seem funny to me, although I suppose it helps to make jest at things that are bad as it does seem to soften the harsh reality that is life.

That's true, but no one will believe you because it will never make the 5 o'clock news. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHA.

Doesn't matter who you vote for, the Democrats and Republicans are controlled by the same group of people who pretend that Democrats and Republicans are different so that they can divide the country in two. So while everyone is fighting over political parties, the real issues are pushed under the rug. The Illuminati run the show, 9/11 was a scam to start these wars, take away your freedoms and move that much closer to the ultimate plan of a one world government and a microchiped population.

No opinion should be banned, because you don't agree with it doesn't make it terrorism that should be banned. I'll bet U really like Bush?
