- Rohhob, on 10/24/2007, -5/+872I hate politicians more and more everyday.
- RunawayElf, on 10/28/2007, -7/+545Can I digg you multiple times for other digg members that aren't present?
- JackCrow, on 10/27/2007, -6/+519"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
- rabidmonkey1, on 10/21/2007, -81/+560Dr. Ron Paul cured me of my apathy...
Digg me whichever way you want, I stand by a true statesman, not a "politician." - Gump9005, on 10/18/2007, -5/+467Periodic revolution, “at least once every 20 years,” was “a medicine necessary for the sound health of government.”
-Thomas Jefferson - MaximusIGN, on 10/28/2007, -1/+375WTF!! I can't stand the "Do as I say, not as I do" mentality of government where it's ok for them to blatantly break laws and get away it...
Who's going to govern the government?! - zombiedepot, on 10/13/2007, -1/+326They should all lose their jobs.
- maou, on 10/21/2007, -1/+326It's just so utterly ridiculous to watch. These are legislators, the writers of LAW, and they're this openly corrupt about it. I can imagine what it's like on the floor.
"Oh ***** Johnson, what the hell is that?!"
"Huh?" *turn around*
*mashes vote button* "Oh, uh...nothing!" - Ephraim2007, on 10/21/2007, -1/+286yea, my reaction is WTF. seriously, this is like grade school, do it while the teacher isnt watching...
- inactive, on 10/28/2007, -1/+206Good thing The Flash wasn't a legislator in texas :P
- Polidoc, on 10/15/2007, -1/+179Oh this would be too funny if it weren't so damn scary!
- waynetheman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+175The best excuse they can come up with as to why they allow this is because they don't have enough time to vote on everything? A lack of BATHROOM BREAKS?
Hey, you sleazy morons! How about you just lighten your load and STOP PASSING SO MANY DAMN LAWS ALREADY?!! Sheesh! - davmattucci, on 10/10/2007, -2/+170Wow. The democracy is officially dead. Holy ***** *****...
- mediaspree, on 10/12/2007, -3/+152w.....t......f......
- glasnostic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+149I want to organize a trip to Austin (live in San Antonio) for the next time they will be doing a lot of voting. I plan on getting kicked out for taking pictures of lawmakers breaking their own rules, as well as yelling and making a stink every time they vote more then once. This is our country, its time we start acting like it. I would love to be kicked out of the state legislature for pointing out a violation of the rules. That would be just great at jury trial, especially when I subpoena the congressmen and women who I was yelling at.
- derforseti, on 10/10/2007, -0/+148That's the job of the people; and they appear to be slacking.
- nihilite, on 10/10/2007, -1/+127drink your victory gin. smoke your victory cigarettes. don't worry about these kinds of things - the government loves you.
- Pritchard, on 10/10/2007, -8/+134What. The. *****.
- kingkilr, on 10/10/2007, -1/+96Seriously, does this ***** go on at the national level?
- Xtremecreations, on 10/10/2007, -17/+108To think I cared about politics once upon a time...I thought I would be shocked, but sadly I'm not surprised. I'm becoming apathetic in my not so old age.
- Eska, on 10/10/2007, -1/+89and I would vote for ya twice...or maybe three times. ;)
- guichetroo, on 10/15/2007, -4/+90EVERYTHING'S BIGGER IN TEXAS...even the hypocracy.
- PhantomBantam, on 10/10/2007, -1/+87"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
-Same Dude. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -21/+106LOL, Texans.
- mat00, on 10/10/2007, -1/+82same thing happens here in italy, we call them 'pianists'..
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+78Actually, the teacher is also voting multiple times, hence the problem.
- ndavisAA, on 10/10/2007, -2/+79I hope it isn't coming to that..... But our fore-fathers fought for our freedom in the past. I would fight if i had to.
- davidphan, on 10/10/2007, -2/+76Did you notice those expensive leather chairs on the floor. How much government waste is really happening? Let alone overpaid politicians waste. Politicians are all vermons -
- anodos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+71What!?! As corruption increases, your response is to become more apathetic?! This is the problem with our country! The more corrupt politicians become, the more apathetic we become in response! It should be exactly the other way around.
- nucleararms, on 10/10/2007, -1/+69I think its funny that it takes more time to vote twice on digg than it is in the Texas state legislature.
- Chewie67, on 10/10/2007, -0/+66This is just sickening.
- haentz, on 10/10/2007, -5/+71That's some kind of comedy show, right? That's not true!?
- UtopiaInTheSky, on 10/12/2007, -3/+63It didn't seem like they were hiding it to me.
- djvchris, on 10/10/2007, -0/+59"It's all about integrity." Haha!
- sa7ouri, on 10/28/2007, -3/+61I'm not American, so I can't do anything. But besides bitching about it, what are Americans doing to fix things?
Nothing. So the American people are just as complacent.
The real problem is that Americans now don't know how and why they are the super power in this world. They take this fact for granted. It was great respect for freedom, the law and very hard work that brought them there. Unfortunately, money has penetrated every corner of their lives, and undreamed-of riches from the stock market has created a generation of lazy, capitalistic drones, who only care about whether the next quarter will meet financial expectations. Gone are the days of the AT&T labs doing research for the sake of research. Nowadays, if it doesn't impact next quarter's bottom line in a positive way, then it's axed.
This is slowly showing its repercussions. Japanese and European research is way ahead of American research in many technologies. The fact that the US is still a cheap place to live in slightly negates this effect as many ppl choose to immigrate to the US, but the declining economic situation is starting to worry many of them.
Yes, American companies are still up there, among the best, but arguably they are still reaping the benefits of 60 year-old technologies based on the transistor. Most of today's innovation is done elsewhere.
Americans need to wake up before it's too late. Then again, history shows us that every super power is vulnerable, and eventually brings out its own demise. - Prelude76, on 10/10/2007, -1/+59So is this the style of democracy they the US is spreading thru the middle east? Piano-style?
- mlostracco, on 10/10/2007, -1/+57The problem is that the level of discipline leveled by breaking that rule is supposed to be DECIDED BY THE SAME GODDAMN PEOPLE doing the rule-breaking.
So, in other words, zero.
Despicable. - lazerus9, on 10/28/2007, -4/+59Four legs good two legs bad.
- nihilite, on 10/10/2007, -2/+56good... guess you know who to blame when 40% of the population votes and another Bush gets elected.
- maliath, on 10/10/2007, -0/+53I can tell you for sure that they aren't busy and "missing bathroom breaks" like she says in the video. If they aren't on the floor voting, they're either in the back offices smoking cigars and drinking whiskey or at the bar across the street.
- ndavisAA, on 10/10/2007, -0/+52Wouldn't it be nice if there were a way for them to sit at a computer and enter a username and password to cast a vote?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+52Watch the video before you mark it as inaccurate. It clearly states that they are NOT allowed to vote that way.
- neurosport, on 10/10/2007, -3/+52not enough ...
- stevensj2, on 10/28/2007, -0/+47I almost feel as if John Madden should be commentating on the action.
"Proposal IV is going up..Hamiltion reaches for Rogers' button...BOOM! DID YOU SEE THAT?!? Pettingway snuck a vote in on Rogers first, then got Hamilton's as well. Now that was, that was, that was, now that was good voting. This is why I like this game folks!"
Wait...this isn't funny at all. I feel sick. - judsond, on 10/10/2007, -0/+44Yes, it is against the rules, but apparently they don't enforce it. :(
- ndavisAA, on 10/18/2007, -2/+45To add to my 'computer idea' from before, You could make the buttons electronic and have them identify the persons thumb print. That way the only way for them to vote would be if thier thumb print was successfully scanned.
- jrizzo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+44Just tell me where the revolution is. Hackers with mentos and diet coke are far more dangerous than terrorists.
- paladin144, on 10/10/2007, -1/+44Wouldn't it be so much easier (for me) if I could write my own laws and then ignore them when they're not convenient (for me)?
I would call this casual corruption. In most cases the double-voters *probably* got permission from their colleagues to vote as they did, but the problem with their actions is that we the people have no way to know for sure. - NihilFist, on 10/10/2007, -1/+44Yep... same ***** happens here in rRomania... they even fall asleep during government "lectures" (dunno what they're called).
