I believe that an image should conduct a dialogue with the viewer. The more words necessary to explain the image, the weaker the messsage.
I make no claim to artistic skill. I'm like a kid with a box of crayons; but I lack the purity.
Considering the agenda of either wing to be folly, I represent what was once the center, BEFORE certain media bloviators claimed the mainstream for themselves.
Of our OWN universe, we are always the center.

But ya know, those Obama socialists are gonna pull the plug on Grandma! You betcha! : You're right, it's not just a matter of each party having simple differences of opinion anymore, the right is quickly becoming a collection of theocratic, racist, paranoid nutjobs. I almost feel sorry for moderate Republicans, they're getting forced out by people who barely have a brain in their head. Expect a massive reply from wblack soon. :D

Nice impersonation of the "Queen of Quit". I could almost hear her voice (mixed in with Trash and Trick and the rest of the gang)! Problem is: they're not really "Pro-life". They're just "anti-choice".

Well said.

I'd come to think that GOP stood for Groping Old Perverts--learn something new every day... I've always been more of a Centrist--I could go with either party if they fielded a candidate with two brain cells and potential. Anymore, I don't recognize the GOP, so I refer to the current crop as their evil twin, the POG (Party of 'God')

I hate both (old) parties and the problem is "politics". We must evolve. But let's face it. They already killed us oldies. They opened Pandora's box and Clinton helped them to do that (repealed Glass- Steagall without new safeguards). The Golden Goose they attempt to kill is "US"... meaning us oldies and the whole tradition set by the Constitution. Frankly, I'm a little glad that I'm going to be dead soon. The B.B. Boom dreamer society is not doing us well - and who will follow. Thanks for the thought pro-voking -- this is great.

Any money you paid into SS did not go to some banker. You're believing the dem's lies. That money went to DC. And as soon as it got there, it went into the general fund. Which means it got spent. There is no SS lockbox. That was all a lie. It is all a ponzie scheme, The biggest ponzie scheme in history. And the Republican's do not have any plans to cut anything, because they can't cut anything. The dems run the show in DC. And it's the Marxist in the White House who's planning cuts. Obamacare will kill you. It will kill a lot of us.

@ thekingtut No matter whether we agree on the definition of "Banker", THAT'S where the money went. Where do you think the "General Fund is kept? In a mattress?:)It may have been "Borrowed" but that doesn't make it "GONE". It gets re-paid. WITH INTEREST. It only becomes a "ponzie scheme" if somebody lets its borrowers off the hook. Not gonna happen. Unless, of course, we elect a gang of THUGS who believe "entitlement" means that THEIR FRIENDS are "entitled" to skate on the "full faith and credit" of the U.S. Government. The myth that the social security system is bankrupt is the popular REPUBLICAN lie. An excuse they use to dis-mantle it.Is a bank which has loaned all of it's cash"bankrupt"? No. Those loans are shown as assets. Just as loans drawn against Social Security's funds are assets. Please spare us the "marxist" rhetoric. Nobody in American government fits that description. That's just Limbaugh-Speak.

LOL @ SnowSultan. +1 on the "massive" reply. Democrats and Republicans are two sides to the same coin. Having two parties gives us the ILLUSION of having a choice. Each party is filled with PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS. What we really need are CITIZEN STATESMEN who love their country more than they love money and power. Not MILLIONAIRES masquerading as representatives of the common people. Also lobbying should be a capitol crime as it bypasses the representation promised to the constituency. Five stars for the image.
intro
@UVDan I agree about 90% I DO believe that there ARE citizen statesmen in congress,tho. IMHO Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt) is one. Some say Dennis Kucinich(D-Oh) and Ron Paul(R-Tx). But mostly, I find both parties pretty much indefensible. Sad. Seems like they kiss our tails for votes, and KICK our tails once they're elected.

when Obama med care comes into play you see how many people will die. just lok at the EU at they have the model for it. Obama do not even know as he had to stop and ask some one in his speech... goes to show that both parties is at the wrong

Nice political statement!

Let me get this straight….We’re trying to put in place a health care plan written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn’t understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn’t read it but exempts themselves from it, signed by a president who is also exempt from it and who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that is broke. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG? You keep dismissing me as a right wing nut, but I am just a average person. Will be 64 in November, served in Vietnam, and spent my lifetime as a police officer. I have a college degree and am smart enough to recognize bullshit when I see it. I have paid my dues, have you? The truth is that anyone who does not fit your left wing mold is an idiot, free speech and the free exchange of ideas is only for the left. Guys like me, (centrists),and people on the right are put to scorn by you “elitists”. Are you aware that the rantings of the left CREATED morons like Limbaugh and Beck, and worse yet the dictatorial attitude of the leaders of the Democratic party are giving these assholes credence? When you constantly demean and insult people, you piss them off. Human nature being what is, a lot of people start listening to people, (L &B), who seem to be defending them. I know you will dismiss me again. Awaiting your next insult, Tommy BTW, you once told me you were “all about dialog”, more b s

@Tommy 3D Thanks for your service. Yes, BY ALL MEANS: Get THIS straight. Where does this image mention ANYTHING you just said? I don't put words in YOUR mouth....don't put words in MINE. You want dialogue? Get on topic. And don't talk about the "dues" of people you don't know.

Great message and image. Even when it wasn´t the universal healthcare that came out (keep on pushing)some progress was made. Our health care system here in the EU is under pressure too, but that means that we have to include more types of income to finance it. Currently it´s largely dependent on wages (which are stagnating, if not declining for most of us), so we´d have to include rents and all other types of capital income on the financing side and abolish artificial monopolies for the pharmaceutical corps on spending. Furthermore we need a minimum wage. So the same struggle is going on here too, but (still) at a higher level of coverage. At the moment nearly everybody is insured (about 200.000-400.000 non insured at 82 Mio. people in Germany.)
