UK Business Secretary: Republicans are "right-wing nutters" threatening the world financial system - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Ond kaja;31314331]To be fair, America is relatively clean from corruption, according to Transparency International's corruption index from 2010: [url]http://www.transparency.org/policy_research/surveys_indices/cpi/2010/results[/url][/QUOTE] That site is corrupted

[QUOTE=deggie;31314425]That site is corrupted[/QUOTE]no

[QUOTE=deggie;31314425]That site is corrupted[/QUOTE] Hahaha, what?

I think it was an irony joke, as a group that measures corruption being corrupt themselves is quite ironic.

[QUOTE=Megafanx13;31314373]Are you not reading what I'm saying? Corporations don't control elections as far as I know, and it's nigh impossible to "prove" a lack of corruption. Unless you have a source that suggests otherwise, you're wrong.[/QUOTE] Elections aren't rigged too badly, but the corporations buy out everyone in the white house, so they all pretty much will do the same thing: Whatever the companies want.

[QUOTE=Nikota;31306930]And that argument being?[/QUOTE] How narrow-minded of you.

[QUOTE=NotoriousSpy;31315014]How narrow-minded of you.[/QUOTE] Well fucking say what the other side of the argument is. You've the internet.

[QUOTE=NotoriousSpy;31315014]How narrow-minded of you.[/QUOTE] You've never really provided an argument for any of your republican apologist posts. Try doing that instead of calling me narrow minded and I might give you a cookie.

[QUOTE=NotoriousSpy;31315014]How narrow-minded of you.[/QUOTE] Give one good reason not to raise the debt ceiling. I'm listening.

[QUOTE=NotoriousSpy;31315014]How narrow-minded of you.[/QUOTE] He asked you what your argument was. That's pretty much the opposite of narrow-minded.

[QUOTE=NotoriousSpy;31306914]Meanwhile, the other side of the argument is never posted here.[/QUOTE] The other side of the argument consists of a blatant operation to sabotage a Democratic president by acting in a manner detrimental to the country to cause fear and uncertainty in the public

[QUOTE=Miskav;31313382]Voting being irrelevant to your electoral process is corruption. Who becomes president and what will happen in the next 4 years is entirely up to corporations in your country.[/QUOTE] Corporations do have too much influence but if that's what you think then you don't know jackshit about American politics.

If the Republicans want to light a match on the world economy they won't gain a single seat in the House OR Senate for the next two centuries.

I wish we had Vince Cable as chancellor instead of the useless piece of shit that is George Osborne

[QUOTE=Jsm;31306653]Vince Cable is awesome, he has a habit of saying what everyone is thinking.[/QUOTE] Vince Cable is a prick who thinks that conventions developed over centuries don't apply to him.
