American Politics General Thread

I hope that for once in my lifetime there's just one presidential candidate that I can actually feel comfortable voting for. One is all I ask.

I understand that they talk a lot of fluff during campaign season to win more votes. I understand they're human and probably don't have a squeaky clean past, just as long as they aren't a felon. Exception being recreational drugs. And I get that they're going to have do put up with a lot of compromise with opposing parties while in office. But I just want one that I can feel good about voting for, that's all.

Dude, I'm changing my sex. I'm transgendered, I think it's safe to say nobody has to remind me to be accepting of diversity among lifestyles and cultures and not holding to rigid old beliefs. I represent a very small and vulnerable minority, here.

In all honesty, I've heard more groundbreaking, revolutionary ideas and thoughts coming from people at bus stops than I ever have from the mouth of some "elected official" or "representative of the people"... and that makes perfect sense to me.

Again, why vote for a person you know nothing about, who the powers that be put before you to vote for, after they've been bought out by various corporations, banks, and political affiliates? I'd say if you're gonna vote and you wanna feel happy about it, vote for someone you actually know who has said something that inspired you or filled you with hope about the future of America and mankind in general. Vote for the little guy. After all, there's more of us than there is of them, right?

This is all the proof that is needed to show that the system does not work the way we think it does.

Yes, and pretty much all of us here have been extremely supportive of your decisions.

As a response though, I have absolutely no idea who you're speaking to in regards to that. I don't see anyone in the past page or so who told you that you needed to be more open to diversity of lifestyles.

Well, if anyone it would have been me, but I was not directing any of my statements to any specific person. I tried to make them as broad as possible, including myself as well. If I'm gonna talk about politics I'm gonna try to include the whole of humanity in general and never target specific groups or ideologies... well... I'll bash a political representative here and there... but they really offer nothing of value to society so I'd say that's fair.

While we were all drunk, Obama Bin Laden signed the NDAA.

Please do some research before you start saying completely different people are the same person.

We're talking about a country loaded with people who are UNFIT TO SURVIVE without government assistance. People totally and wholly dependent on the government to eat, pay their rent and bills, and even take care of their children. The more dependence we have, the sicker the government will become.

Yep

Not. Rick. Santorum.

I am refreshing CNN like mad waiting for results. I'd like to see my man Obombz have another for years in, but I do not want the possibility of a crazy running against him. At least give me Mitt...

I'm not positive about his place in the running because I haven't been paying attention. But, I do know he was an attendee of the Bilderberg meetings last year, and he is a supporter of NAFTA, or at least was. Read into it what you want. I have a feeling though that if you want America back, this is not your man.

Santorum was successful in Iowa because it's full of crazy evangelicals. Iowa is not nearly enough for him to get anywhere. He'll be gone soon.

I would say that Santorum's a bit worse then Romney, but they're pretty close on the avoid scale.

Now, obviously "New World Order" is one of those "buzz phrases" that holds quite a lot of power over people, causing some to flip while not recognizing that there is usually some valuable information to be gained from the articles that espouse it.

Basically, New World Order is globalization, which is indeed very real. The people who are behind globalization are the ones who pull the strings. They have the most resources. They control the money system and all of the other systems that money can buy. So, in order to understand what is actually happening to America, and our world as a whole, it is a good idea to get some of your information from the globalist movement, whether or not you agree with their ideologies or policies. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

What is being shown in this article is that Mitty boy is already bought and paid for. CONSIDERABLY more so than Obama. Now, I'm not a betting man, but if I was going to gamble on who would be the next president, I would say that from this information here, Romney is the new commander in chief/ president/ CEO of United States Inc. This explains his almost flawless image on major media. He simply spent the most money on advertising. That's all there is to it.

It is important to remember that corporations usually have business plans that extend well into the future. The United States is no different. THE PLAN DOES NOT COME FROM THE PRESIDENT. It comes from the people who own the corporation. The person selected to represent the head of the corporation simply sticks to the plan. This is why you will notice virtually no fundamental difference between both the Bush administration and the Obama administration. They are simply following the plan.

So, that's two down now. Romney and Perry are not conservative republicans. They have other interests.
