Our Year of Zombie Politics

We are the zombie nation with troops guarding every border in the world but our own.

The zombies are everyone who wants money without working for it, from the disability cheat to Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman Sachs to all of the politicians who work for him.

We are entering the final phase of all great nations, the phase where wealth redistribution takes precedence over wealth creation.

The politicians promise something for nothing and the zombies lap it up. The only difference between the two main parties is that they disagree on how to spend your money. There is no consideration that you should have first claim on that money that you earned.

The CEO of Intel said he would manufacture overseas because America hates business. It's the regulations, not the high wages of American workers. Too many bureaucratic zombies to feed here, bye, bye.

all the "reporters" who have to tease-mock the betchya's and by gollies please realize that the whole northern tier of our nation- scandinavian immigrants and descendants, thinking it's making Palin sound like a hick of some type realize that while the dakota's aren't heavily populated, aren't ignorant hicks. It pains me to include MN because they've been behaving badly for years but we are'nt ( again with the exception of MN) festering in the low end of the tide pool. Oofda, ya's, don'cha also flows over the silver tongues of these people that are nothing but wholesome, honest, filled with integrity, hardworking people who don't need flash and that's why we as a people are successful. We are polite enough that you don't realize how we roll our eyes about your lack of life experience-like really, totally, or "No Starbucks?"

It looks like big oil saw the Bush tax cuts extended and decided they would raise the price of gas so the taxpayers would end up giving the money to them instead of the govt.

Very nice Mr. grady but until the main stream media is willing to devolpe the back bone to report how our govenment has been completely sold out to the monied intersts of this country at the comple expense of the ordinary citizen (which they never will becaus they are partof those monied interests) It's not that we're zombies it's that no one is willing to give the people the real facts

Then there were the elected Zombies who signed flawed legislation without even reading it, at the direction of their manipulators, Pelosi and Reed.

From my perspective, the Tea Party embodied the zombieness of the year. These angry folks embraced extremist candidates (O'Donnell, Buck, Miller, Angle, et al)without giving any thought who these candidates were, what they represented or whether they were even remotely qualified.

When you have a government moving from opportunity to outcome and forcing people to be equal, you get zombie mentality. That self motivating force we use to have has been stripped from us because outcome has been made more important. It is no longer acceptable to want more for yourself, in fact you are ridiculed if you do have ambition. We've been led to believe that being wealthy is not good for us as it makes us selfish and leaving behind those who can't or don't have the forsight to get it for themselves. We must all be the same. Peasants and zombies, that is what we have been led to by our wonderful, wonderful liberal government. I'm glad I'm old enough to remember what it was to work my head off, learn everything I could and go after what I wanted and succeed at doing it. I feel sorry for the young in this country as they will be educated and working, only, to pay off debt heaped on them by this government. No wonder there is no incentive for them to fight their way through this phony, baloney belief that if you give what you earn to those who don't, you are worthy. What a crock.

I saw all of this comeing as early 2007 and gas pricrs will do it again

I will add to the story above the average Citizen lost big time in 2010 many of us are receiving a smaller check begining 2009 through 201i and prices continue to rise so most of us have less buying power and gas prices will bring us all down again

I didn't see the stoplight camera problems. Fines have begun to ruin
many people's budgets. Big brother run amuck...also how bills are sold
behind closed doors, so John Q. Public is left holding the bag. Corrupt
poloitical deals were @ the core of the congress being changed in more
% points in history...these are lost in this years review
