1. And the alternate word is
Politics

Used in a sentence - "Instead of letting private industry fix the problems themselves, the Obama administration would rather play politics."

7. "How's that shakedown-BS thingy working out for you?" - Gulf Americans
Edited on Thu Jun-17-10 11:47 AM by SpiralHawk
"Because if you corporately-funded Republicon Homelander Ass-Kissers ain't got a clue yet, then you can be damn sure the people and businesses of America's Gulf Coast will be sending you something LOUD AND CLEAR in the future. You Republicons & your Corporate Cronies can just go pound a wagonload of oil-smeared beach sand up your ample anti-American butts.

- Gulf Americans
