You know the government is shut down. CNN is only showing re-runs or Piers Morgan interviewing Jesse Ventura and Alex Jones. At least there is comedy there and people might watch...

Redundant? What the hell is redundant about that unless you are a gun hating, freedom hating communist? Oh, I see...

150 million Americans with 300 million+ guns. There is not an army on this earth that can defeat that.

Go tell that to the Afghan's with their AK-47's. What are they gonna do nuke us? oh wait...

The soviets were a very powerful force as well. See how they held up to insurgency.

Not true. Not everyone is web savvy like you may be. Not everyone is knowledgeable enough to seek out all the available alternatives. People depend on the press corps to do their jobs in an unbiased manner. We both know they don't, and that should get someone to seek alternatives. Though it doesn't and yes that may be their own fault. I have been registered independent since I first registered to vote. I primarily vote 3rd party or at least who I think will represent me the best.

You think this is crybaby stuff bullshit? What the heck? Expecting the majority of the population to be like you is shortsighted at best. I mean we already have the democrats dictating who journalists are. This isn't crybaby bullshit. This is a concerted effort by the corporate leadership of this country to enrich themselves and their corporate friends off of your and my hard work. You are a 14th amendment citizen. The enemy. Chattel. Slave!

I am not playing any games. Do you think if those other options on the ballot got equal coverage in the debates and on main stream news that people would see those other options the same? The only parties that are ever covered are the R and D's. Certainly you aren't going to try to discount or deny that.

Are you sure? Just because the system only allows the choice of R or D doesn't mean that the people are happy with that. I don't want to get in some argument about voter fraud, but there is at the very least enough evidence out there to warrant a proper investigation. Although the investigators will likely be republican or democrat. The best way to deal with the opposition is to control it.

Look at the big picture. I agree that people should use the voting power they have, they should have been for 100 years. Generally we see less than 50% turnout nationally. But since say 1970, with either a Republican or Democrat in office, the only differences we have seen are in social issues that in the grand scheme of things aren't that important. All the protests and public redress of grievances have done nothing to change the course of this country. Nearly 17 trillion in debt and growing. The dollar is actually at risk of losing its reserve status. Collapse is spoken of in real terms on main stream media. I think the leadership have demonstrated quite clearly that they care not about our concerns. Their actions are purely destructive. They cannot be measured by their words.

Do you feel as though the leadership is acting in such a way that their powers are derived from the consent of the governed?

I think many of you on this site need to study the trading with the enemy act. Look at Bradley Manning. He is charged with aiding the enemy. Who was he actually helping? We the people. Who is the enemy again?

As for getting angry and bitching. That hasn't worked and isn't going to work. Fire and bullets work. Just ask Thomas Jefferson...

Really? All I could think of was the prettiest nerd girl I could create with legos... oh well...

I just can't wait til the pissed off kid finds the next bug... Maybe he already did and only gave them the small one. I can hope... fuck paypal

I have seen that too. Let's just make sure it's the sample the we need for the results the client expects. I think that happens a lot more than we may think it does.

Worse things have happened...

Well market research isn't political polling but we always used sample sizes much larger. For a much smaller topic. Maybe 1000 is ok, but is it 1000 registered democrats? Unless it can be certain that there is a good cross section, then how can we know.

We made very sure of the sample sizes as well as the type of person we were interviewing. What is their background, experience with the products, things like that.

Whether or not I agree with the results isn't important. What is important is that the sample is a reasonable cross section of the population if it is meant to represent all of America.
