But Senators and Congreemen don't do their own taxes. Another perk. The government does their taxes for them. Tax laws are too complex for Senators and Congressmen to comprehend. Irony and reality.

Why pay for three, when you only have to pay for two?

Also, any 3rd party that actually gained any power would be corrupted instantly, because the problem isn't with the parties, it's with the people.
Pure speculation on your part. You have little to back that up. It can be done if the people will it.

Possibly. I am a very avid student of monkey-ass pack behavior, though.

Also, history is on my side:

I blame society.

And the drugs.

I blame first Bush. Beause everybody blames him for everything.

Second Al Gore. If he never would have invented the internet or global warming we would never have gotten into this mess.

DanaC 03-03-2009 06:27 PM
I blame you. yes, you. It's all your fucking fault.

Aliantha 03-03-2009 06:29 PM
I thought it was Obamas fault?

Ok. But it's not. It is the fault of Bush.

Oh, and Al.

And the Illuminati. Serious.

I think the little green men did it.

Or was it the mice?

I have to have that done once in a while. It clears my sinuses.

TheMercenary 03-03-2009 07:48 PM
