Beer duty to be cut by 1p

September's 3p fuel duty rise scrapped

Limit at which people start paying tax to be raised to £10,000 in 2014 - a year earlier than planned

Well thankfully the AWB has been neutered. Hopefully in it's "separate" form it will die the agonizing death it deserved. Feinstein can go rot.

Not really... It can disrupt things but I think the entertainment isn't us from them, it's them from us. Look at politics as nothing more then men in suits that have nothing better to do then to listen to their own voices. They all love to listen to themselves talk, that is the thing with politics. Nothing really gets done, it's just alot of talking.

Fey does Palin.

Whats makes this so funny is that these are actual things that Palin would probably say.

**Coconut_Crunch** · 03-22-2013

Do you know what I like about politics in general? It's the entertainment value. People get so worked up with politics and it's really only one of the pointless things that people get so upset about. It sticks out like a sore thumb that politics in general is what causes wars, it's the cause of everything wrong in the world. The only reason why politics exist is because of disagreements over pointless and things that could be trivial but they are not. It's always the same arguements over and over again and nothing changes no matter if the democrates run the house with a democratic president or the republicans run the house with a repulican president or even if it's mixed. Democrates and republicans are the pillars of entertainment, just watch the stupid fly right out of their asses.

You must have missed the sign hanging on my sanctuary door. It reads, "No dumbs allowed. That means you, Sub-stance1!"

It is a bit of a break from "tradition" but as far as Paul is concerned, not too surprising. As far as Rubio is concerned, I don't trust him as far as I can throw him. He's a fucking neocon who deserves nothing short of being voted out. Paul is merely building on the legacy his father brought about which is a more libertarian leaning younger Republican base which includes Independents and Democrats. While it's not socially conservative and is in fact more socially liberal, and not a policy I endorse personally because of how it wrongly deals with the immigration issue at hand, it is better than tying up local law enforcement officials with frivolous duties that consumes time and resources better suited for violent offenders.

Just my .02

I can not even start on how much all thee elected are DICKS and have no clue... But i will give it a shot later on

**$Greatness$** · 03-25-2013

Do those in this thread honestly believe those in office are for the people? I find these debates fun and exciting because of the passion.

**MATRIX 2** · 03-26-2013

What a fucking joke:

**Coconut_Crunch** · 03-28-2013

There is never a point on putting effort into these types of discussions. You could have 100% facts and the otherside no matter who it is will never understand. all politics is an excuse to be stupid. I enjoy being stupid sometimes. hehehe

So Obama declares April a "National Financial Capability Month". LMFAO. This guy is such a joke.

Yet, he's two months late submitting the 2014 Fiscal budget.... smh

**DayWalker** · 04-02-2013

**The Black Wolf** · 04-02-2013

People keep saying Hilary is going to run for president in 2016. Those people are forgetting about her health.

**DayWalker** · 04-02-2013

The Clintons do what they want...

**weskurtz81** · 04-05-2013

Brilliant, I never looked at it this way! Ban the "high-capacity" clips, and once the bullets in those clips have been shot the clips will no longer be useful!!! I always thought you could reload clips, low and behold, I guess I was wrong!

Morons electing morons....

yeah kinda.. its kinda like chess, having others make the moves for us while we pay for it. in a politics control all our moves, and there isnt much of anything we can do really. in a game of chess you cant undo moves that are made

I assume you didn't watch the video? Or maybe you didn't comprehend her point?

She believes that when the bullets in the "high-capacity" clips are used up, those clips will be useless and not able to be used again in the future. So, if I have 4 clips with the ability to hold more than 10 rounds of ammo (apparently that's the point in which it becomes "high-capacity"), once I fire all the rounds out of each of those clips I will have to go buy NEW clips that are loaded with ammunition, rinse, repeat.

She is trying to legislate on a topic which she has very little understanding. She doesn't understand that the clips will be reloaded and used again, she thinks they are only able to be used once.

Again... moron's electing moron's.
