Greens? your vote will be Democrat or Republican, they're Red & Blue not Green

WTF are you on about now?
I'd vote Green because Norman is one of the more upstanding politicians around (despite being an Aussie).

If the Govt signs a treaty that can't be repudiated by a subsequent administration, I'll vote Green.

Ooooo OSCAR - I will hold you to that ...

Nah - I was 18 and the family knew the local SC candidate.
They were challenging the FPP two party system and it was exciting...
Also don't forget Bruce Beetham was a God in the 'Tron!

That says more about the 'Tron than it does about Bruce Beetham

A good article. I've pinched a few lines from it that highlights the hipocracy of politicians,

" The Obama regime, desperate that no individual and no country escape its spy net, denounced Western Europe’s intention to protect the privacy of its communications as “a violation of trade laws.”
Obama’s US Trade Representative, who has been negotiating secret “trade agreements” in Europe and Asia that give US corporations immunity to the laws of all countries that sign the agreements, has threatened WTO penalties if Europe’s communications network excludes the US companies that serve as spies for NSA. Washington in all its arrogance has told its most necessary allies that if you don’t let us spy on you, we will use WTO to penalize you. ".

The thing that pisses me off about articles like this is the phrase 'the Obama regime'. Other similar phrases littered throughout any similar pieces are 'Obama sanctioned', 'Obama allowed', and suchlike.

Obama is a figurehead. He doesn't decide policy. He doesn't write policy. By the time it is put in front of him there is little else he can do except sign on the line. I think he could refuse to sign, but I don't know what the implications of that would be. Probably see the Democrats siding against him, and he already has enough of a problem with the Republicans vetoing anything and everything 'he' does or suggests.

This isn't a specific US presidential issue - this is about the corporate government of the USA and what they have decided to do, based on many, many years of planning and scheming.

I love the irony. It's all about the American economy, yet they throw jobs overseas and threaten to pull out. It's a lose lose that none of these so called experts seem to grasp.
