Corrupt Establishment GOP is Crony Capitalism's Bought and Paid for Political Arm

A guy named <MADDOG> comes to Cujo's defense?

Seriously, can't make up stuff this ironic...

You know I see this sort of dribble posted on just about all the sites.
Like Kazoo said-C&P. I get a visual picture of some paranoid guy panic posting from some safe room in the basement.
And that's all they do is scream doom and tell the whole web about it. And that's all they do ,no other input.

Yes ,yes I get it, the .gov is corrupt and all that- we all know the problems were facing.
But how about a solution? How about posting and discussing a honest tangible solution? Without ringing the bells of doom.
For every problem there is a solution- there's no solution in beating the same horse.....
Just my .02

As usual, Great Kazoo, you miss the point. This is not a "government is corrupt" rant. It is a call to fellow Republicans to root out sleaze and corruption in our party, which is the last bulwark protecting the interests of the middle and working classes. Far too many establishment GOP leaders are beholden to Wall Street or corporate interests with consequences that should be clear to anyone with their eyes open.

The movers and shakers in BOTH parties are too susceptible to influence-peddling from beltway lobbyists and usually make lucrative careers with their former patrons once they are no longer in politics. So how well are they representing their constituents? Eric Cantor is the poster boy of a GOP candidate who got elected by appealing to the conservative GOP base, but once in office showed his true colors and was for sale to the highest bidder. VA primary voters did their civic duty by dumping him in favor of a conservative upstart who seems to have actual principles.

The basic bottom line: crony capitalism is screwing over anyone not in the .01%.

This is my last post on the subject. Have a pleasant day. Mods, please lock or delete the thread.

Well, since us backwoods, hillbilly, inbred intellectual midgets can't seem to appreciate the incredible complexity of your near god-like grasp of the complexities of corruption in modern politics in the US, maybe your talents and self-realized, hyper-inflated ego would be appreciated on another forum. Because, obviously, you know, we don't get it and we aren't worthy.

Thank you, you do the same...

My $.02: I have yet to see someone refute, with a coherent argument; the opines & articles that Cujo has posted.

Anyway, please raise your hand if you believe our current government isnot corrupt!

I have yet to see a coherent argument FROM Cujo so question the need for coherent refutation. Your statement above is a prima facie example of incoherence since Cujo's original statement was about the GOP being corrupt but you're asking for support for that argument by asking who doesn't believe the current government is corrupt. There's a lot I don't like about the Establishment GOP but there's a lot I don't like about certain Tea Party or Libertarian-minded GOP or Libertarians. Hell, I don't even agree with myself 100% of the time.

How is this thread still open?

I just skimmed through this amusing and frustrating thread. Cujo, I think I might agree with some of the things you are trying to say (Politicians are corrupt... no surprise there!) but honestly, it's hard to understand what you are even trying to say. What is the message you are trying to get across? Sum it up in 4 sentences or less. This thread turned into you posting a bunch of random sources pointing to corruption, but your abuses of catch-phrases, buzzwords, and Alex Jones-ish rhetoric combined with your incomprehensible rambling and "talking down" really turns a lot of people off. Did you just need a political soap box to stand on for a bit? If so, then good. I hope you fulfilled that emotional need. Most of us would like to have productive political discussions, but your superiority attitude is a major roadblock to good discussion or debate. Sorry if this thread frustrated you. You might have some good things to say, but you gotta approach it better. It might help if you didn't just complain without offering actionable solutions.

Exactly...it's not necessarily the message, it's the delivery.
