You guys miss the best view: Shoot the protesters AND the cops.
OR...better yet, make the hippies and cops pick up trash on the side of the highway. They can do it in shifts so there is always some cops beating down the hippies as they wave signs and chant meaningless slogans.
Vote the right people in? Can I vote for none of the above? I want to vote but I refuse to vote for the current offerings. I don't belive either party has offered anything worth voting for.

The shocker is how the media,parties and government belives we are truely stupid and clueless! The bickering about oil development shows you how they want to pick a pointless topic to argue about. Drilling is not the answer, finding a way to lessen the dependancy on oil is what we need to be talking about. Why do you think they are arguing about drilling? Money. Not to fix our issues.

Why do you guys poke each other with sticks all day? We are all in the same agreement about one thing: Firearms and the right to own/use them.
If we united every gun owner to vote for one idea and we can demonstrate the ability to replicate those voting results, then we could control to a very large extent who is in power. As long as we splinter, we remain weak. Thats my .02
