Keep in mind, I think most far right wing Republicans have the same problem, and the Republicans better take notice if and when they regain power. The far left and far right both want control, they just want control over different aspects onf our society, and through he society, the individual.

I think thats why people are rejecting social conservatoves as well as leftist democrats, and independents are growing faster than they have in history.

Then I agree, political leaders on both sides aren't embracing the open-ideal or at least understanding its power over society right now and trying to implement some of it. I hope they do because I see the power everyday of the new socialism. I know the Obama administration at least made some feigns at opening up the government, though I'm guessing he hasn't succeeded much at that. But I digress.

However, I do not think the era of "evil and greedy corporations and special interests who seek to grind them down and suck them dry" being able to impose their influence over the masses is over or will be for a long time. Even educated people can not possibly be educated about everything, which means they can be swayed by misinformation just as much as the uneducated masses. See the vaccines cause autism "debate" for a perfect example of what misinformation can do. So in turn I don't think the era of needing leaders to shepherd us through those boogeymen is over either.

I guess the bright side to this, is that the democrats have grown a backbone now. They've been coming out a lot stronger now.. But we'll see.

LOL! Did you hear that from Olberman, or when Jon Stewart mocked Olberman?

And here is the proof:



And his hot daughter...

And you can see his future wife give a bottle of suntan lotion a hand job in this video.



Yee-ha.

I love how some leftists in the media are feigning "outrage" at stuff like this, while they all love Pres. Clinton who got blown in the oval office. You can cut the agenda-driven politics, self-righteousness and hypocrisy with a knife.

I completely I agree. I mean, I find this stuff funny, but nothing about it says that Mr. Brown shouldn't be a senator. Much the same as it didn't reflect on the political skills of President Clinton.

Some friends and I were talking about this in the bar a few weeks ago. For anyone born in this day and age, is there anyone without something slightly embarrassing about them on the internet? I mean, how soon is it that we'll have a sex tape President and it won't really matter? I could see it happening in my lifetime. I mean, to an extent I don't care, but I still think John Edwards is a douchebag for what he did even though that doesn't necessarily relate directly to politics.

Good point about the age of the internet and politics. All skeletons will be public knowledge eventually. I smoked pot in college. If I wanted to run for office one day, I'd hate for that to be the reason I lost an election, but then again Pres. Obama already broke that glass ceiling by admitting he even did cocaine.

We are quickly becoming a very permissive society, for good and ill.
