If the Republicans put up a Tea Party-type candidate, I'll just stay home. I have the right to vote. I also have the right NOT to vote if my only choices are between a shit sandwich and a kick in the head.spinFX said:Please don'tSimuLord said:Just look at the way Republicans are voting on financial reform. They have sold out to the lobbyists 100%. Look at how they voted on the "anti-rape" bill. Look at how they lie about financial reform being another bailout bill for the banks (in fact the banks would pay into a fund to bail themselves out). Look at how they lied that the public option would have increased debt instead of reducing it.
Really you have no one good to vote for, but unfortunately Obama/Democrats are still the lesser of 2 evils.
You should see how shit for choice we are in Australia. I can choose between a 50% rightwing position or a 45% rightwing position.
YAY FOR DEMOCRACY!
I hope you're being sarcastic. He's not saying to never listen to music or play a video game in your life. He's saying to make sure you don't neglect your studies.Haseo21 said:
Wait wait wait. You aren't going to vote for him again, or any Democrats for that matter, merely because he said, essentially "education is more important than video games, and video games can be a distraction"? Or is there another reason? Because it would appear as if you have rather low standards for politicians. They seem to merely need to enjoy video games to get your vote.SimuLord said:
Umm, no? He just said it is a distraction from actual important things, like education. That's true, you know. He isn't trying to take it away. I don't recall him ever saying he wants Microsoft to stop selling 360s.Haseo21 said:
Massive deficits, escalating the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, failing to repeal No Child Left Behind, his inept handling of the Wall Street regulation discussion and the bailouts, the GM fiasco, Obamacare...zenoaugustus said:
So what? We just have a political pendulum that swings back and forth reaching larger and larger extremes between each transition? If you thought he was the lesser of two evils then chances are to your perspective he still would be the lesser of two evils. I'm not gonna get into who I support but in your case you should be thinking about how the other candidates (and yes I realize in the US election you can cut off the 's') would have reacted to every event that's happened thus far and what policies they would have pushed. Chances are you would be complaining about president too and would be vowing to vote for the other party next election.SimuLord said:
