The Other Side
Originally posted at Reason.com (via Richmond Times-Dispatch),
The past several weeks have made one thing crystal-clear: Our country faces unmitigated disaster if the Other Side wins.
No reasonably intelligent person can deny this. All you have to do is look at the way the Other Side has been running its campaign. Instead of focusing on the big issues that are important to the American People, it has fired a relentlessly negative barrage of distortions, misrepresentations, and flat-out lies.
Just look at the Other Side’s latest commercial, which take a perfectly reasonable statement by the candidate for My Side completely out of context to make it seem as if he is saying something nefarious. This just shows you how desperate the Other Side is and how willing it is to mislead the American People.
The Other Side also has been hammering away at My Side to release certain documents that have nothing to do with anything, and making all sorts of outrageous accusations about what might be in them. Meanwhile, the Other Side has stonewalled perfectly reasonable requests to release its own documents that would expose some very embarrassing details if anybody ever found out what was in them. This just shows you what a bunch of hypocrites they are.
Naturally, the media won’t report any of this. Major newspapers and cable networks jump all over anything they think will make My Side look bad. Yet they completely ignore critically important and incredibly relevant information that would be devastating to the Other Side if it could ever be verified.
I will admit the candidates for My Side do make occasional blunders. These usually happen at the end of exhausting 19-hour days and are perfectly understandable. Our leaders are only human, after all. Nevertheless, the Other Side inevitably makes a big fat deal out of these trivial gaffes, while completely ignoring its own candidates’ incredibly thoughtless and stupid remarks – remarks that reveal the Other Side’s true nature, which is genuinely frightening.
My Side has produced a visionary program that will get the economy moving, put the American People back to work, strengthen national security, return fiscal integrity to Washington, and restore our standing in the international community. What does the Other Side have to offer? Nothing but the same old disproven, discredited policies that got us into our current mess in the first place.
Don’t take my word for it, though. I recently read about an analysis by an independent, nonpartisan organization that supports My Side. It proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that everything I have been saying about the Other Side was true all along. Of course, the Other Side refuses to acknowledge any of this. It is too busy cranking out so-called studies by so-called experts who are actually nothing but partisan hacks. This just shows you that the Other Side lives in its own little echo chamber and refuses to listen to anyone who has not already drunk its Kool-Aid.
Let’s face it: The Other Side is held hostage by a radical, failed ideology. I have been doing some research on the Internet, and I have learned this ideology was developed by a very obscure but nonetheless profoundly influential writer with a strange-sounding name who enjoyed brief celebrity several decades ago. If you look carefully, you can trace nearly all the Other Side’s policies for the past half-century back to the writings of this one person.
To be sure, the Other Side also has been influenced by its powerful supporters. These include a reclusive billionaire who has funded a number of organizations far outside the political mainstream; several politicians who have said outrageous things over the years; and an alarmingly large number of completely clueless ordinary Americans who are being used as tools and don’t even know it.
These people are really pathetic, too. The other day I saw a YouTube video in which My Side sent an investigator and a cameraman to a rally being held by the Other Side, where the investigator proceeded to ask some real zingers. It was hilarious! First off, the people at the rally wore T-shirts with all kinds of lame messages that they actually thought were really clever. Plus, many of the people who were interviewed were overweight, sweaty, flushed, and generally not very attractive. But what was really funny was how stupid they were. There is no way anyone could watch that video and not come away convinced the people on My Side are smarter, and that My Side is therefore right about everything.
Besides, it’s clear that the people on the Other Side are driven by mindless anger – unlike My Side, which is filled with passionate idealism and righteous indignation. That indignation, I hasten to add, is entirely justified. I have read several articles in publications that support My Side that expose what a truly dangerous group the Other Side is, and how thoroughly committed it is to imposing its radical, failed agenda on the rest of us.
That is why I believe 2012 is, without a doubt, the defining election of our lifetime. The difference between My Side and the Other Side could not be greater. That is why it absolutely must win on November 6.

the bizzarre thing is that romney has guaranteed a war when he's inaugurated, which is a ful 2 months after november 7.
so if romney gets elected, you might have 2 more months of peace under obama. if you elect obama, you might get war on november 8.
vote romney for peace!!!
=====/SARC
your analysis above is just straight up moronic. romney is MORE warmongering than obama, simply because republicans are more war mongering than dems. yea yea, you'll get war either way, but you can bet your ass that republicans will generally supporting endless over-extended wars more. why? because bush's cronies will feel more comfortable serving under romney than they did under obama. the neo-cons who serve obama will be emboldended if he is kicked out for not being hawkish enough. quite possibly leading us to war in the pacific at some point. with northkorea. or the the country whose name rhymes with vagina.
Carolina?
No, his analsys is spot on. Our wars in the middle east had grown very unpopular with the average American in 2008... So what to do if you are the govt behind the govt and wish to not only continue, but expand???? Run an anti-war candidate, get him elected, silence the anti- war crowd and... carry on... and... expand. Just like nafta and GATT would not have passed with an R president... Elect the dem, quiet the opposition, pass the treaties. It's American presidential politics 101. People who buy into the differences between the parties ave been duped.
My thumbs grow weary from up-arrowing you today. Nice roll.
+1 and a Nobel Peace prize for President Romney
-----
But wait! Isn't "Obama=Romney" a Dem ruse?
Now I'm confused...
The media conditioning for war is already complete yet still a majority of Americans and Israelis are opposed to starting a new war.
If there is no organized opposition however then there is no chance to stop it from happening and less chance to limit the sphere of engagement, which will cross several nasty borders.
This could very well bring the world to ruin.
Remember: Americans like cheap gas and hate line-ups. Think 2014 mid terms.
Wesley Clarks description of the plan for the New American century is almost complete. If they were really looking for this full on spastic World War III everyone says the Zionists have planned why would they have bothered to go after places like Somalia, Sudan, Libya and Yemen? Theres a limit to how far they will go in Iran. No doubt they are going to fuck the whole place up but i can't see it being of a magnituide worse than Iraq II.
Why are people voting this down??
i don't uptick i just cut and paste!
PLEASE..EVERYONE....DON'T VOTE! GO TO YOUR POLLING STATION WITH A SIGN SAYING WHATEVER YOU FEEL. WHATEVER. EXPRESS YOURSELF. BUT ,PLEASE, WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T CAST YOUR LOT WITH EITHER OF THESE TW0 IGNORANT EVILS ! YOU KNOW BETTER!
Nixon
Well, obviously. Woody represented the other side.
Wilson was as much a step and fetchetit as is Oblabha. End of discussion. Both pukes. Milestones
I blame John Wilkes-Booth.
He should have gotten Lincoln four years earlier.
Looking back now, I do think it was a mistake for Lincoln to have fought the South's secession... I guess the only way to make up for it now would be to immediately expel those states from the union; then build a wall along the land border like Israel did to Palestine. And of course, expel Utah and the surrounding Moronm demographic lands, too, with a similar wall around them--full quarantine, travel restrictions on their new nationality, etc...
When Californians hate Texans, Texans hate non-Texans, southerners hate northerners, everybody hates southerners, coast dwellers hate midwesterners, Alaskans hate lower-48ers, Hawaiians hate haole invaders, Guam and Puerto Rico only hang on because they're permanently and uselessly on the dole, and 5/6 of everybody hates every president, WHY exactly is it that it's such a great fucking idea to keep the whole miserable, goddamned union together?
RE: Lowprofile:
Do you realize they have him propped up in the Washington National Cathedral? Not literally, but figuratively speaking.
Don't forget Mother Theresa's role in the world's economic collapse.
Don't look now, but a new phrase is being created.
We have all heard the phrase "Mexican standoff," but the behavior identified above is the "American Standoff" (both sides blame the other) !
fuckin bitch
Carter taught us that we can survive any president. Obama taught us that Carter wasn't so bad.
How about:
The Jeckyl Island crew
W Wilson
FDR
Nixon
AND ALL THE DUMB ASSES WHO WENT ALONG!!
Obama is going to win,,,,,,the Republicans steal all the money and the democats lead in the years after to clean up the mess left its been that way for the last 40 years,,,,Its really one big party in disguise, We have 4 years of hell in front us and that will be the dems then the republicans will take back over in 2016
Did paul ryan get out of his head of fincancial committee duty to become VP,,,,perfect for him to save his career,,,If the republicans were serious about winning this time around Rubio, Christie Etc would have run,,,,,
I'm still writing in Ron Paul
"If the republicans were serious about winning this time around Rubio, Christie Etc"
Then, you should be happy.
"Repubicans steal all the money" - you mean like that famous Republican Jon Corzine? Or those other famous Republicans that work for GS, etc.?
While on the Republican watch thats when all the damage is done by BOTH....Its one big club that act like they are for different issues, distract the public with issues like gay marriage and steal all the money,,,,the name republican democrat means nothing they just steal all the money when the timing is right,,,,,corzine is part of the club, so is clinton etc etc
Christie in office. Think tanks know that electing fat asses is difficult.
That's why we only get unmoralistic true blue assholes and bad actors, instead.
I would rest my case, but am in the process of drinking it.
Wooooooo.
How can you write some of that tripe and then that last sentence? Do you even understand Ron Paul's policies?
How does that jibe with writing this "the Republicans steal all the money and the democats lead in the years after to clean up the mess left its been that way for the last 40 years" and following it with this "Its really one big party in disguise".
Either you are drinking, doing coke and hookers, or you have serious drain bamage.
However, in spite of your confusing post,
I'm still writing in Ron Paul.
Does not matter either way..Collapse followed by Martial Law followed by Civil War followed by UN Peacekeepers . RED DAWN soon to be reality.. Prep accordingly
Tactical, You are being a bit paranoid. Remind me not to wear my blue helmet in your neghborhood.
Good idea not to be seen in a blue helmet.
Kinda funny. I'd love the opportunity to sit around and take potshots at UN troops with their sashes and berets. LOL. They ran from the hutus...or was it tutsis? Either way... LOL indeed.
How we can lure the UN rapists here is the real issue.
Maybe if we crash it they will finally come ;-)
you can't handle the lure.............................

First off putaipan - good idea.
Second - there was text in my comment box before I started typing!?!
It dissappeared real fast. Hmmm
Please........ when is everyone going to wake up and realize that the US is the dreaded 'one world' NWO that everyone is so scared of.... it's easier to blame the UN or NWO for what your one government is backing than realize that the Republic is dead and Empire rules (though that too is collapsing of its own unsustainable weight)
That's the reason so many people hate the US - we're in THEIR country trying to tell them what to do, trying to take THEIR resources at cut-rate prices....the US represents over 40% of the world's military spending... so WHO exactly is going to 'overthrow' the US? NOBODY. the US government itself is the 800lb gorilla and everyone else is a bunch of little monkeys who can do no more than occasionally fling feces to express their discontent
The US government is simply a front for world-wide (mainly US) corporations - Smedley Butler had it right - the US military is in the service of American business
"the US military is in the service of American business"
The US is in the service of NWO bidness. If you only an amerikan business and not worldwide, you are fucked in the ass.
A new awakening has risen to our demise.
youre wearing a folded bandana around your forehead now arent you
I could not be bothered to look up thread and see who that was directed at, but it's pretty funny.
Check out Walter. He's got a bandana. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQbpx5Be5rI

I think this guy is right on principle but I don't think the currency(USD) collapse will come in the next 4 years, because the whole worlds is broke not just the US so there is nowhere to run for now
Yes, this could take much longer to play out than a lot of people seem to realize, IMHO. I've been expecting the whole thing to fall apart any day, for decades now. Just look at Japan. How long have they stretched it out? Over 20 years. It will happen at some point, though. Europe, then Japan, then the US. But it could still be years away, and not necessarily during the next presidency.
You should be MUCH MORE afraid of all the extra damage done by the moronic overt socialist thrashing around as the system fails.
I agree that fixing the blame is of paramount importance. No one is suggesting how to fix the problems...this might usher in a new era of bipartisanship and shared sacrifice. eeny..meeny.. miney.. moe.
the collapse will occur over decades . millions impoverished and stripped of their savings, slowly , year by year, according to the plan, including increased warfare, increased domestic spying , increased consolidation of banking sector , and
if all goes according to plan, increased 'free trade' partnerships. It's hard to imagine this all going off without a hitch. but the american public has proven one thing over the years, they're certainly stupid and passive enough to allow it to happen as long as you boil them slowly like frogs.
I actually do believe a democrat party will go easier on us during the economic collapse because the libs can scream louder than the repubs and the repub sheeple like torture more.
"rightly so"? That guy is a fucking idiot... He thinks presidents are "elected".
The one guy, and his administration are Marxists. I wonder how many of the 20, 30, and 40 something folks know about the full evils of marxism & Communism? I wonder what the gays, lesbians, and whatever else you call these folks that are otherwise queer, understand about marxism & Communism? I wonder just how many of these folks understand that they will be the first ones to be executed? The other guy, yeah the guy with more dough then anyone can spend in a life-time, at least he's not a marxist. I suspect that for the gay, lesbian, and whatever else these folks are called, that they actually have a better lot with this guy. Either way, we're going off the cliff.
With the marxist, well, I'ld be worried if I wasn't a full fledged marxist with a usefulness beyond the simple PHd in nuclear sciences. Well, since I'm not a marxist, I'm worried. Just look at China and the frmr Soviet Union for examples.
Your right. The Nazis put the queers in camps just after they helped them get power. Under Lenin/Marxists they shoot them while they are rounding up the regular kulaks, the queers never make it to the camps.
You Got it. Its all Dems Socialist for me til the crash. Again, like it matters. Whoever is next will get the strangle on power and not just let a poor dum farmer alone.
Romnrey has the business background and flat out common sense as does Ryan. I think we can all agree watching Europe how much market action happens and just talk and Rumor. Just slapping the EPA around and getting energy production back on track will do the US wonders. Once spending slows and growth picks up, health care is decided upon even if only microscopically positive we will see more investment, more emplpument and risk on. The right people are repubs to be there if they can get the breaks fixed before the cliff or jump out the car as it goes over and dust things off.
re. The right people are repubs
MDB would never stoop so low.
People really need to look up the word socialism.
Interesting point of view, it makes sense and on one level I would agree with you. For me the divide would be:I think the collapse has already happened and the majority of American's or, I should say the majority of the world population cannot see the pile of rubble through the smoke.
Yes, a collapse is just a matter of time, and it will be one hell of a disruption globally. After the social chaos dies down in the US only a return to true Constitutional government will enable survivors to restore society.
It is somewhat amusing and at the same time disgusting watching the so-called "leaders" treading water to put off this collapse another week, month, etc.
I've been saying this for a long time, but always got junked for doing so (at least on YouTube).
But he is absolutely right IMO. And with Romney now looking better, it may well come true.
ZOD for Emperor!

Mike Lee can not even pay his own bills. A pathetic choice for anything....I still like Rand's daddy more.

After Rand endorsed Mitt, my only hope for him is that he chokes on a shotgun. I'd hate the suffering inflicted on his Dad that would naturally result, but... Standards, bitchez!

Corzine for President! When duty calls, shit happens...
Some ignored advice from long ago:
Excerpt from George Washington's Farewell Address 1796
And by the way (for those who are allegedly so concerned about their freedoms and liberties*) ol George also had this to say in his Farewell Address:
* You know who you are...
While I'm at it...
Where might this part of Washington's Farewell Address apply in today's (dis)United States of America? I'm pretty sure those it applies to will once again know who you are...
Yes I realize that at that time Washington was referring to nations of Europe. But his advice applies equally well to nations in other geographical locations.
They win. You lose.
Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos!
And why no matter who wins in November, nothing of meaningful importance will change.
Oh, it will change but it won't be because of an election
oh, it will change, but not for the better.
It's like changing a dirty diaper, except the choices are to put the same soiled one back on the baby or get a stinky diaper from another baby to put on.

Maybe for the same reason that who wins 'American Idol' or the super bowl doesnt matter either ? The election is diversionary - - (though of little entertainment value)
Maybe Corzine will go to jail and we'll find out about Fast and Furious (and maybe Holder will go to jail...he certainly won't be allowed to practice law?
and monkeys will fly out of my butt
Corzine needs a food taster.

Clever article, enjoyable - Starting to remind me of Twilight Zone, not a specific episode but something that Rod Serling would satirize well
My side doesn't have a "side" - Ron Paul '12
I think you are contradicting yourself there...
Nope, the outside is equally screwed in all directions.
"NONE" of the above
Keep in mind we're the pussies that put together this economic and political system.
We keep voting for the morons who perpetuate the system...until it breaks. Then the lies will begin as to why and how to fix it. It is most likely we will pick the wrong solutions. The problem with democracy is you have baristas voting on how to fix medical care.
Mencken said something to the effect, " Democracy is the illusion that people know what they want. And they get it good and hard."
If you can call being able to voice your opinion 1 day every 4 years a "democracy". Who voted for the bank bailouts and endless wars? I must have been sick those days. There is a reason the system is set up as a Republic and only wealthy landowners could originally vote and it wasn't to save us from ourselves.
"An imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics."

No it was not us. We were conned so don't blame the victim. It was the traitors we elected, they were elected to serve their country. They took an oath and as soon as they were sworn in they ignored it.They gave us empty promises while they took their orders from the money men while also enriching themselves. We can call them banksters, criminals ,Zionists(because they are ALL Jewish), or owners,whatever awake people want to call the scum of humanity.
The debtors are always the slaves of the creditors.
Until the monetary system is changed and the current owners are dethroned and stripped of their illegal wealth the human race is destined for the same shit that has been going on since the leaders of governments gave the criminals the power to create money and collect interest on it.
We with other nations are a colony of a monopolistic private corporation,cabal,cartel,criminal organized crime syndicate,or whatever logical people call them.They stole it all and they make us believe the opposite, that they are just very intelligent successful business men! GANGSTERS
Everything else is bullshit. Timeline of the Rothschild family
IOW, the rich & powerful try to maintain and expand their wealth & power at the expense of the great mass of the common little guy. Just like it's been in every society in all of human history. So either fight it or accept it, but understand that that's just The Way Things Are and the way we're hardwired to be, pal. Stop being such a whiny pussy: blaming today's gigantic mess on "the Rothschilds!" or "the Joooz!" is all bullshit. What's next? You gonna screech that they "stabbed us in the back!!"?
" Stop being such a whiny pussy: blaming today's gigantic mess on "the Rothschilds!" or "the Joooz!" is all bullshit."
Whos whinng? Just because you happen to believe the criminals are not jewish doesn't mean they are not.
They could all change their last names and give up their israeli citizenship that might help.
Or you can give your own opinion on who the criminals are instead of attacking mine? But then you would have to think up your own bullshit to believe. Maybe its the arabs,islamic terrorists since they seem to be the cause of all our problems or so the owners tell us daily. Maybe Iranians? Syrians? Any ethnic group as long as it ain't the poor criminal jews. Criminals are criminals no matter what race tough guy.
You are as dumb as they come and filled with their non jewish or jewish CRIMINAL cum. Hows it taste? Like Money?
Why the fuck does anyone care "what" they are?
"Who are the criminals", whiny pussy? How far back you wanna go? In Rome, it was the Cornelii and the Flavii until the Emperors came along. Then Charlemagne's family & friends ran the show for awhile; then Big Willie the Conqueror, then the Plantagents, then the Medici & Borgias & the Sforza, then the Fuggers, then the Khans, then the Tudors, the Bourbons, Cromwell, Napoleon, Bismarck...and that tkes us to the 20th century. Of course, there were always the various Popes doing *their* best to steal everything that wasn't nailed down, too.
Now we hit the 20th century, and instead of blaming the likely suspects: Roosevelts, Tafts, Morgan, Fords, Firestone, Rockefellers, Buffet, Ellison, Gates.....you focus like a little bitch on just one (1) family: the eeeebil Jooooos, the Rothschilds. Who I have no doubt are doing their best to fuck the people and run the whole show, just like everyone listed above did.
You're even stupider than I first thought - incredible and mathematically improbable as that is - and run around hiding and whining about your imaginary enemies, who don't care if you live or die. Lemme guess: you believe in ghosts, too, right? What's it like being mindfucked by your imaginary sinister Jewish Conspirators? Have you come to accept it? Depend on it? ENJOY it?? Begone, whiny pussy.
Lighten up cum swallower, I'm just writing science fiction. Because none of what I write about can be proven as fact then what I write about is not true. The "godfather" was fiction based on the early days of italian gangsters taken from reality. What i write about is my imagination,"and run around hiding and whining about your imaginary enemies". In reality I'm actually sitting in a chair with my legs up. So what you imagined and wrote about was fiction. If you would have wrote "flying around in your jooz detector stealth interceptor and hiding and whining about your imaginary enemies". That would be science fiction because I do not own a stealth interceptor.
My writing is based on something that does not exist. Criminal Jews controlling the Banking, defense,energy and military industries. Owning and controlling all governments and politicians that borrow from them. Sorta based on history huh?
Come on now think, how can that be real why would we just not eliminate the cancer if that was reality? They are not a nation of men but a corporation of individuals who steal their wealth from the rest of the individuals on the planet for their benefit and profit. They have no standing army ,navy or airforce to enforce this reality just money they create, so how can this possibly be real or true? We all would have to be using your words "even stupider than I first thought".
Writing fiction about reality "godfather". Writing about a Criminal Jewish Banking Cartel conspiracy that does not exist is Science Fiction.
If you believe otherwise then you're just creating another conspiracy. Don't we have enough?
And we all lose.
Because no matter who wins they cannot stave off the inevitable collapse that is coming.
Thank you bankers. Thank you politicians.
Great Piece! I love it!

This is what happens when you give children too much power. It turns into Lord of the Flies.
What a fun parody. Saturday night live should build on this script. But as ZH knows it's a non-issue, everyone now fully owned. Write in Ron Paul, sleep, enjoy life.

Shit hitting the fan in Mexico...
http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/24/world/americas/mexico-shooting-us-marines/...
Unknown gunmen inside what was described as a Mexican federal police vehicle fired upon a U.S. Embassy vehicle that carried the U.S. servicemen, said the official, who declined to be named for security reasons.
Three U.S. Marines on diplomatic mission injured in shooting south of Mexico City, Marine official tells CNN Mexico.
The Mexican government declared war on the drug cartels, and it appears to be a war they can not win. So much violence and human tragedy.
thats like the hall monitor stopping the principal and not letting him pass.

I think I see the problem.

Nobody's going to do anything about abortion, so that's what we'll talk about over the next 3 months. In the meantime we'll just totally ignore the financial fraud, market manipulation, and free trade policies that are destroying our country and enriching the financial elites. Because neither party has the balls to do anthing positive for this country.
Ron Paul was the best candidate for POTUS (imho). Romney and Obumble are both duds... and Obumble is the absolute worst.
If you are going to call Obama Obumble you should mangle Romney's name too. It's only fair.
Again, typical ZH "witticisms" at work here. No analysis. No facts. No hard work to try to discern if, in fact, there is a difference between Romney-Ryan and Obama-Biden. So many cliches and worn-out wisecracks.
I don't have a "side." I am not registered in any Party. I am wholly independent. But I can tell you this about "the other side" in THIS election. Obama has proven to me in the last four years who he is and what his ideas and policies result in, and I want no part of any more of it. I dont' know if Romney-Ryan can pull off some kind of miracle to turn the nation around, but I DO KNOW that Obama will work to bring about its fall. A failure to vote or a vote for Obama truly is a vote for death. So, in this election, "the Other Side" means something. The Democratic ticket, the Party itself, has become The Evil Party, promoting all things contrary to common sense and decency.
Go ahead and endorse and vote for the (possibly) ever-so-slightly-lesser-of-two-evils if you feel you must.
As for me, I am sick to death of doing so, and more sick of those who continue to believe that doing so will have any benefit other than perpetuating a perverse and corrupt two-party monopoly on power.
Frankly, I see you as the typical American: a moral coward and a sellout.
Right on akak enough of the bullshit.. If it must burn to be rebuilt let it burn..
"Go ahead and endorse and vote for the (possibly) ever-so-slightly-lesser-of-two-evils if you feel you must."
You really know nothing of the two candidates then.... There is a HUGE difference between an avowed socialist an a politically connected business man... I figure you are a plant in here and secret Obama worshiping socialist...
I seriously doubt that rank-in-file Obumble supporters have the mental faculties to follow ZH and comprehend the value of what it has to offer.
what are your thoughts about rank and file romney supporters?
My thoughts are that rank-in-file Ron Paul supporters are by far the best informed, and my guess is ZH is widely followed by them.
I think Romney is a poor candidate and Obumble is even worse. Sad that this is what the shitstem system has produced.
youre voting for mittens arent you. I can tell by the way you side step the question.
I am most certainly not a Romney supporter. I am an ardent Ron Paul supporter. I don't have any close friends that hold Romney in any sort of high regard. I am disgusted with both political parties and their anointed candidates.
Go away douche.
Yeah, who does he think he's fooling?
Is he going to vote for progressive, gun-grabbing architect of Obamacare, or Obama??
Yeah, just like there wa a "HUGE difference" between Clinton and Bush I, or Bush II and Gore, or Bush II and Kerry .... or between Bush I and Clinton and Bush II and Obama.
When are you going to wake up to the reality of the situation? Americans live in a one-party oligarchy with nothing but the facade of an open and democratic system. Just look at how Ron Paul, a REAL challenger to the status-quo, was treated by his OWN party, and by the corrupted and coopted corporate media, if you do not believe me.
Voting for Obama = Voting for Romney = Voting for Obama = Voting for Romney.
AKAK You are right, but.....
You can Lead a Man to Knowledge,
But you Can't Make Him Think.
They are the Harlem Globetrotters vs the Washington Generals....
Two different teams, Two different Color jerseys BUT Both of their paychecks are from the same corporation.
Ain't no REAL Game folks, Just a exhibition scrimmage for amusement.
They both get paided by same company, AND, WE have to PAY just to watch it.
but coke is better than pepsi. macdonalds is better than burger king. gm is better than ford.
i feel so much better. i've identified myself as an individual capable of choosing,
Nah, Ford is definitely better.
Yur so dum! Everyone knows RC COLA RULEZ!
Follow the money troll. Yeah, I am sure that Romney (backed by the same financial houses and banks that got Obama elected in 2008) will take the country in a different direction. Any suprise he picked Ryan as a running mate. let's see. Ryan voted for ALL the bailouts (GM, Fanny/Freddie, TARP, TALF etc.) and then voted against any oversight on how those funds were deployed. Basically just give these failed businesses a blank fucking check.
That's a good sheep...
Didn't we have one of those "politically connected business man" the prior 8 years? Things sure turned out well in the end, right?
I'll only vote for someone that raises Capital Gains back to 32% (Regan Era), cut spending so that we have a surplus and propose further cuts the following year, quit reallocating funds from SS and Medicare so that we can see what it truly takes to run those programs and make appropriate cuts, has the balls to tell China to "go fuck themselves". Pulls us out of these conflicts and takes a more closed approach to intervening in foreign affairs (Look how well we did with Libya....), Comes up with a viable energy solution, and proposes term limits on both the House and Senate, and tells the FRB to go fuck themselves sideways, while tearing down the TBTF's, and bringing OTC onto an exchange with transparency.
I down ticked you because I would rather all of that happen naturally.
One looks white, one looks black. That's the difference, the whole difference, the only difference. Get the fuck over it.
There are some noticeable differences.
Yea, akak is a 2 year plant for Obama. Wake up moron. Romney is a fucking flip flop placating politician. So you honestly think he is going to roll back all the totalitarian security state bullshit in this country? He is making way to much money for that. I hear he his is chomping at the bit to disband the TSA and DHS. No more domestic drone use and Patriot Act rollback. Yea, I wonder who the Troll is mister 2 weeks?
Romney wants war. That's what his handlers told him to want.
Neither one will accomplish anything that is worthwhile and probably a lot that is not.
I hope Ron Paul gets to speak.
duplicate
I see you are eager for WWIII, and being Israel's constant bitch.
He also supports NDAA, the Patriot Act, TARP, Law of Sea Treaty (although it is dead for now), and on and on.....
But then again, you must believe in the fairytale of 9/11, so I digress.
Why yes, the differences are indeed stark. On the one hand we have an effete Ivy Leaguer who funded his entire executive term on borrowed money and cranked up deficit spending, signed legislation making health care a role of government, doesn't like a broad interpretation of the 2nd Amendment, appoints left wing judges, thinks the Boy Scouts are big meanies for not wanting gay scoutmasters, never served in the military yet has repeatedly demonstrated a willingness to mess around militarily in the Middle East in unaffordable struggles- and on the other hand we have Obama.
Wow, with a contrast like that how can anyone think its bullshit? I bet they are America hating malcontents who think only having the options of Coke or Pepsi isn't much of a choice either.
I figure you're a bit of a dumbass who soaks up way too much propaganda on TV and talk radio.
Pepsi's better.
The lesser of two evils is still evil.
But lesser.
We may need to concede that the crony-fascist far left statist in the elephant costume may destroy the Untied States more slowly than the criminally-insane communist extreme left Kenyan Usurper.
Neither division of the ruling party will change anything and I'm sure both support central banking and the billion-round ammo purchases for Dept Fatherland Tyranny, Social Insecurity and NOAA.
Sorry, I can't vote for evil, even the lesser of. I will be spitting in their eyes and voting for the Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson.
Voting is only legitamizing the con game. You're saying I agree to live with the consequences of this voting system. Ron Paul's supports tried to change the system from within and look what happened to that. Imagine if only 1% of the population voted this year. We are the 99% would take on a whole new meaning.
