Horrible game, but who can resist killing rednecks and those committed to destroying democracy.

Way to bite the media's bs, little fish.  The tea party wants reduced government spending, reduction of the national debt and reduced taxation.  Yeah that's destroying democracy alright.  Grow an individual brain dude.

The party really just wants to stop anything from happening in congross its that small fucken minorities way or nothing. They want to turn us into the most consertive laughing stock of the world I want no part of that hell. 


Right ...

From what I have seen the vast majority of rational people around the world are terrified by the deficit, debt level, out of control spending, unfunded liabilities, punitive regulation and taxation levels, devaluing of the dollar, crony capitalism, and government corruption in the United States; and the only solutions being proposed by the Democrats and establishment Republicans are to maintain the status quo, and effectively polishing the brass on the Titanic.

Whether you agree with them or not, the Tea Party has proposed viable solutions to many of these problems and has (mostly) had their views misrepresented and been accused of racism by the defenders of the status quo. Unfortunately, the abysmal educational system in the United States has left many Americans without the literacy and numeracy skills to evaluate these claims, and has taught them to mindlessly parrot claims made by an authority figure, resulting in a large support for the Democrats because "Sarah Palin said she could see Russia from her house"

I am trying to not take this thread too seriously and you sir are not worth my time. Especially because you come in every thread about American politics when you yourself are not a citizen. Stop creating your belief system on American culture based of the internet forums and go focus on your countrie's problems. I will use generalizations with the tea party because I am more liberal than democrats, so don't label anyones opinion when you do not know why they wrote what they wrote.

 

Play the game dude it will teach you the truth.


For the most part, Canada’s problems are mostly manageable and the primary risks we face are related to the United States being completely unable to get their house in order.  The fact that one political party (hint: it isn’t the Republicans) can’t meet their basic obligations as public servants and pass a budget, and seems to focus all of their attention on slandering political opponents rather than proposing viable solutions is a significant concern; and could be said to be the primary problem my country faces in the near future.

I f find it funny that you say that I seem to recall demoocrats agreeing to make budget cut while the republicans, and the tea party refused to allow any increases in taxes to alleviate the problem. One side give the other says it is my voice or nothing gets done. Most polls i have seen blame the republicans for not giving into anything and the majority of Americans supported raising taxes.

That's a different issue altogether ... My point was that the Democrat senate has not passed a budget it several years.

On the debt ceiling, the Democrats were offering the promise of lowering the rate of projected spending increases in the future in exchange for tax increases today; there were absolutely no spending cuts offered, because a spending cut would translate into an actual reduction of spending (real or nominal). Even with that, being that these "savings" were based off of unrealistic economic growth projections it is unlikely they're going to materialize anyways.
