The Upcoming Election

[Eviltaco64]

I'm from the south you bastard and if I weren't so lazy I would come up there to Pennsylvania and hit you with my banjo.

Im not saying that the south is like that now.
It might be in some rural Mississippi village but the South is alright now, it was however backward for quite awhile.
Andz if you hit me with yer banjo, keep it away from mah face, people sey ah look liek Charlie Chaplain!

Two sides of the same coin.
They just pander to different interest groups for votes at election time.



I don't really wish to get into any great debate about the minutia of the campaigns so i'll go the light-hearted path:

I cant see how anyone can vote republican after the last 8 years personally.

Its a 2 party system; The opposition doesn't win because people like them, the incumbent looses because the masses have had them to blame for all they dislike for the last term.
You vote for the one you hate slightly less.

That's how it is in Australia anyway.

Americans in general often come across as WAY too respectful of their politicians.
You shouldn't be a fanboy even of the guy your voting for because you know once they're in power they'll do things you disagree with just like the other guy.

Most of what they say is carefully researched, targeted and expertly delivered spin. Not their own opinion and certainly not a foundation upon which they will actually base decisions once elected.

Its kinda funny to read this topic and the various misinformation that is being presented in here. Its quite obvious that at least some people in this thread seem to think that Fox News is the only reliable, unbiased news source.

TOPIC LOCKED

EDIT:
At the urging of someone else, I'm unlocking the topic for now. Any more incredibly racist comments or blatant misinformation in here will mean the topic gets locked again (permanently the next time). Any flaming or anything else will result in infractions/bans.

Having a serious discussion is OK, throwing childish, false comments in to try to convince people to think the same way you do is not.
