Poll: Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or do we participate in a politics of hope?

[Clio the Leo]

Poll question: Poll: Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or do we participate in a politics of hope?

Do we participate in a politics of cynicism or do we participate in a politics of hope? This is really what it all boils down it.

Or is the question a bunch of BS because it was asked by "a man with no backbone who only wants to placate the repukes" and YOU knew he was FOS at the time so you sat in your chair and booed him when he said it?

This is a free country and we have an open forum. There is no wrong answer.

1. Neither - we need to participate in a politics of REALITY...

...despite the propaganda coming from both sides.

2. I prefer the politics of the possible...

Since there is no "other" I did not vote.

3. How does one maintain hope when we continue to see this admin rollout spectacles

like the Catfood Commission that undermine the survival of the working and middle class of this country?

You tell me.

5. can we stop this Hope shit? I hope people don't lose their homes ..but they are

I hopepeople get jobs, but they are not.

I hoped we would get real health care reform ..we got fucked.

I hoped these wars would be stopped, but they were accelerated!

I hoped Gitmo would be closed..nopeeeeeeeee..still going strong.

I hoped someone would be held accountable for the telecoms spying on Americans..fuck no they got immunity!

I hoped Renditions would be stopped..another..fuck no

I hoped we would get a strong president who would hold war criminals accountable..instead..fuck fuck no.

I hoped the Banks would be held accountable for screwing this nation ..negative..they got my money

I hoped never in my lifetime I would see Social security robbed from the people who paid for it..nope..we have a dem./A DEM>.going to fuck us and steal our money to pay off the god damned crooks!

I thought someone would hold accountable those in Wall Street..again..my money got sent to them..and they all got big fat fucking bonus's on my dime!
And I hoped we would have a pres who would stand up to the crooks..instead he has surrounded himself with the likes of wall streets worst crooks from Goldman ..

Enough of the fucking hope..ok..I am all hoped out! and mad as hell at false hope and all the bullshit that goes with it!

My Last ..very last HOPE is, that The American people wake the fuck up and revolt and take the country back from all the damn crooks and Politicians before there is no middle class left , and we have nothing left in this country that we recognise!

And I pray for cynicism, because without it ..we are nothing but lemmings and suckers!
