In Florida, It's Now Legal to bribe Senators and House reps. - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Aredbomb;28903856]We would have to get rid of FPTP. And probably the Electoral College. Which would be a good thing. FPTP is a horrible democratic system and the Electoral College is just plain retarded.[/QUOTE] What about the mobocracy? :v:

Isn't this the way USA always worked? :smug:

This is evil.

How did this pass and how come I'm just first hearing about it here even though I live in Florida? Ridiculous.

Good to see we're letting the wealthy start to control the nation and not the people.

[QUOTE=RBM11;28902751]We seriously need a new Constitution based off the old one that fits the 21st century. I mean our current one is great but it worked so much better a hundred years ago. I mean just the way our whole legislative process is with this first-past-the-post bullshit election system and how Congress is set up and run. Edit: I know this wouldn't really affect Florida much, just talking about government in general.[/QUOTE] I agree, the constitution is in some needs of a modernization. I love to use the example of the fact the right to bear arms was made when there were muskets and other muzzle loading guns... But that aside, in any other situation, bribing is a major crime, as well as accepting one. Only in politics.....

REPUBLICANS BEING STUPID! In other shocking new the sun came up this morning and the sky is blue.

[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;28901892]Nobody gives a shit anymore. We all know our government is rotten and corrupt to the fucking core, and we just don't care anymore.[/QUOTE] the system is broken

I give up

When the fuck did they do this. I haven't heard a goddamn thing about it.

Only 2 republican senators voted no on this, all others said yes to bribery.

So much stupid shit has gone down this year. Makes me sick.

Delicious, delicious Coca-Cola.[/QUOTE] That title was lost when being retarded became the new fad. Somewhere in the mid 1800's or something. Sorry, but the image of the "general American citizen" is what it is because of shit like this. For a country where you can't get any political shit done unless you're a "devout christian", it's seriously un-christian bordering on egocentric liberalism... oh wait. "american = Fat, undereducated, egocentric, ignorant and loud as fuck" how ever will you change this image guys?

Let's bribe the House and Senate to repeal the bill.

the chinese dont even have to try to take over, america is effectively fucking itself in its own ass. [editline]31st March 2011[/editline] and its being really flamboyant about it.

God fucking DAMNIT. I really hope we have a large uprising in Florida soon, like in Wisconsin. My state is so fucking retarded, also Rick Scott looks like an alien.

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;28901553]Republicans are FOR government when there's a Republican calling the shots. They are AGAINST government when there's a Democrat calling the shots.[/QUOTE] the joke is that they are all selfish pricks who only care about reelection [editline]31st March 2011[/editline] why do you think so many laws benefiting the incumbency pass with flying colors?

it's called taking the money and still convicting them

Fuck sake why is the US government so stupid in parts?

Oh good, I thought they were behind the rest of the nation on this.

Fuck my state.

Times like this is where it makes me sad to live here. This country was founded on the basis that we could overthrow the current government if we believed they were corrupt,or infringing on our basic freedoms. To do so now is to be a terrorist or an outlaw. We were heading to the top. Corruption overtook us,and now corporations and old,white,politically correct pigs run the USA. I don't say the "pledge of allegiance" because of stupid things like this,and I refuse to be a patriot until we've at least had some part of this parasitic corruption on America's dieing body taken off.

The reason the country is shit isn't because we're run by assholes, it's because we fucking hire them to do it. Because people are fucking stupid. You have a revolution, and all you're going to have is a bunch of new crazy fuckers running the show. And more poverty. And more violence.
