Caucus

Oh, okay.
You can go back to complaining about things and not doing anything about it to make things better.

If thinking you will not make a difference, then you don't participate, it's self fulfilling prophecy. Nice job.

Easy with the common sense.

So you think you're making a difference? How so? How is your voice stronger than the voice of someone who has donated millions?

And please tell me how the caucus last night was better than March Madness?

The caucus relates to something that has an affect on our daily lives. We never said our single voice is stronger then someone who has donated millions. However our voice is stronger then no voice.

Since you are not willing, from what I understand in this convo, to take part in the process I am no longer inclined to listen to you bitch about it.
 
Actually I do like that gem. For reasons you wont understand.

Oh really? Try me

Oh, and why is replacing Hatch a good thing?

What is stopping his replacement from becoming just as bought off as Hatch himself? Is he magically better?

LOL

How do you know I didn't actually go?

Does that make March Madness not as good?

I don't think believing that my voice doesn't matter is a strong indication of whether I actually went or not. I'm sure there are many who missed but believed that their voices are important. Likewise, there were other people (like me) who went but still understand that their voices aren't nearly as influential as my corporate brothers and sisters. Or do corporations not have gender? I'm so confused. Corporations are people, right?

Let me pretend you are a moran and explain this line by line.

At a caucus meeting registered voters of a certain political party get together and and vote on who the delegates will be for their geographical location. They are choosing the people that will vote for which candidate they want to represent their party in different elections.

You see, people like Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, etc... are hoping to get enough delegate votes in order to be the presidential candidate for their party.
The delegates also decide for other positions as well. There are state delegates, and county delegates for various positions.

Some of these votes come down to one, or a few votes between delegates. If you want a delegate that holds the same views as you, you go to the caucus meeting, ask them questions, and vote for the one that you think would best vote for your interests. You could even run as a delegate yourself so you know your interests would be met adequately.

This is how the people have a voice in who we have a chance to vote for when the time comes to vote. Is my voice stronger than someone that donated millions? No, but thousands of voices like mine would be stronger than someone that donated millions. If you don't speak up, your voice will definitely not ever be stronger than someone that donates cash to get ahead.

One more question for you.
Why do you post here? You're not making a difference. Your posts are not stronger than a Premium Member that has donated?

As to the March Madness. If March Madness is more important to you than your country, stop posting about problems or your opinions about our country.
If it doesn't matter enough for you to skip a few games, then you should just shut up about our country and be along for the ride without complaining.

People that get involved, if enough get involved, will always be more influential than corporations.
What is a corporation, without the people that own the corporation. A corporation is just a group of people that have a voice together for whatever is important to them. They have access to money, and use that money to try to influence things in their favor. I don't think that's right, but if we as individual voters got together and unified our voices it would overcome the money and voice of corporate backers. Will it happen immediately, nope. It will take a consistent effort, and it will take getting our neighbors off of their couches and involved. The apathy in this country is staggering. The "silent majority" needs to wake up, and speak up.
 
I'm sorry that you think that your tiny voice actually matters.

This pretty much sums up The Thriller. Bitch, moan, complain, belittle, and be as obnoxious as possible -- and then don't participate and mock those who do. You are everything that is wrong with America, OGat, and I really do hate your guts and liver.
