Oregon tries to outlaw independents

[srellim234]

I guess if you're a sellout to the Democrats or Republicans, you do whatever you can to eliminate the competition. I find this bill despicable but especially disgusting is that the sponsors of this bill are able to stay anonymous.

Truly amazing that this is even possible to happen!

Do they consider the voting population such idiots that they would be confused? I sure hope not!

To be fair to what Oregon's trying to accomplish, "Independent Party" is a huge freakin' oxymoron. Still going to run into Fiest Amendment issues.

Going to see the movie tomorrow! CANT WAIT, the book has been amazing, im almost done reading it. And dont worry IB, I still plan to go back and address the commentary you posted previously, once I finish reading. Its only opening this week in ONE theatre in Atlanta, so hopefully Ill be able to swing a ticket.

Blatantly yoinked:

Ayn Rand, A Life Story.



Hello. I'm Ayn Rand, I look so young, and I'm smoking a cigarette. I'm against any government safety nets, or the government being involved where I think they shouldn't be. Rent control, social security, scrap them all. Everything should be governed by laissez-faire market forces, not by using the levers of government to steal the fruits of rich people's hard labor. The companies have our best interests at heart. The welfare state creates an ever accelerating downward pull, and is a basic evil.



I'm older now. I just found out that I have cancer because of the cigarettes I smoked. And I always thought the scientific evidence was a hoax. The cost of paying for doctors is more than my books earn, so I need Social Security and Medicare (which I am vehemtly against because people should stand on their own). The markets... well... look, maybe being amphetamine-addicted isn't the best mental state to base a philosophy on. And maybe those lavish torrents of praise for serial killers and the Bernie Madoff-style embezzlers of the day that I wrote about should have warned people of the kind of person I am. Screw it, give me Medicare and Social Security!! NOW!!! I don't care that Rose Wilder Lane and Isabel 'Pat' Paterson both rejected Social Security benefits on principle. I'm not dying a pauper like Paterson, I'm special! Any questions, go through my social worker Evva Joan Pryor.
