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.

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!
The problem with America is, "American's".
a vote for death? really? Im really going to die if I dont vote for either of these two dipshits?
I have some bad news for you. It seems likely that you (and all living things) will inevitably die someday, regardless of whether your vote or for whom.
Look man I'm an independent too but what can we do?

Romney has proven himself as well. As governor of MA he supported and signed legislation that instituted single-payer healthcare along with legislation that permanently banned scary-looking guns.
They both suck. They both treat the Constitution like toilet paper. They will both continue deficit spending until we slam into a "fiscal wall" at Mach III. Why would you vote for either one?
Spot on Watauga....
I won't be participating in the popular vote but I am short the S&P 500. I don't know if that counts though!
Oh boy. You're a tool. Where to even begin? Actually, why bother. You've got it all "figured" out.
Go ahead. Play their game. Vote and be happy.
Bible thumper ALERT! So are you saying that 2/3 of Americans are evil?
you win the award for biggest dipshit on zerohedge of the day. You criticize the article for lack of facts and analysis and end with calling democarts evil.
Im not sure how you could be any more of a hypocryt. You need many years of therapy.
" typical ZH "witticisms""
That`s what I come here for . Great pub , though you have to bring your own beer...
Strindberg once remarked people tend to read THEIR newspapers and THEIR authors that share the same prejudices.
were doomed
That's the spirit!
Well,personal freedoms as my Backdrop, we all know what one more term of Hope N Change will do.
I would prefer to give another the chance to stop the intentional destruction we have lived for 4 yrs.
No matter who gets the blame, the Conservatives on that side (since there are nothing but Marxists on the present one),will at least hold some of these abuses in check, and if the Senate can be taken, we get SOME breathing room and more time for preps and departures, or survival.
Under the one we have, we get full throttle down, and someone who does not care,because they cannot be re-elected due to limitations set,unless they refuse to relinquish the seat, and becomes the first dictator we have seen since King George, but far worse things will be done.
H & C has brought nothing except psedo Fascism to us, and if we get four more of this..............we are all doomed for sure,no ifs ands or buts.
For certain we know the course we have seen set, surprise me at least with a new one,or slow it down.In this case the lesser of two evils is obvious.
.
Four years? Go back to sleep, Rip van Winkle. The intentional destruction has been going on for decades.
Your belief that there is more than one side, that the words liberal and conservative have any meaning, and that anything will hold the abuses in check is quaintly naive, much in the same way that a young child thinks you can't see him if he closes his eyes.
If you vote for Romney or Obama, you are voting for four more years of this.
Just make sure to remember that you're voting for doom when you vote for Romney or Obama.
The difference is as obvious as the rise in the sea level after pissing into the ocean.
If the foe shits, wear it.
Man, I love that joke!
As an aside, the original article, while smart and clever, is precisely what the Obama campaign wants people to believe and parrot. The fact that the Obama campaign runs on lies and Statist propaganda is effectively hidden beneath the equating of the campaigns. The truth is that Romney-Ryan appears to want to get onto message and stay on message, but is in full-time defense mode to fend off baseless attack lies by the Obama machine (and we thought good 'ol Goebels had died in 1945).
So, Obama has won when the supposed smart people on ZH buy into his lie that the campaigns are identical, equally sordid and evil, and of equal non-value.
Obama WANTS YOU to believe the Big Lie, because then you either stay home in November or, Heaven forbid, vote for him.
EXACTLY!!! And there are dozens of Obama plants in here parroting that very idea...
You've been here all of 2 weeks and just *know* there are dozens of Obama plants at ZH because they think Romney sucks something awful? STFU.
How ironic that someone named "SmallerGovNow2" would even think about voting for a candidate that has a record of supporting single-payer healthcare and a permanent ban on scary-looking guns. WTF is wrong with you?
Go get 'em Chump!
What a pair of stupid sonsabitches...
Team work. That's beautiful.
It tells you something now that their sending them in pairs.
That could get expensive in FRN terms.
i ain't votin' for obama...........

Romneys message is about as clear as your head after waking up hung over soaked on your own urine in a park down by the river.

The only way to be sure is: don't vote.

DON'T BLAME ME, I VOTED FOR THE OTHER GUY!!
Just wanted to point out there are 3 current articles on Drudge dealing with shootings. The Empire State shooting, the vendor shooting ouside of Yankee Stadium, and the Chicago, 13 shot in 30 minute span shooting. All 3 from the 2 cities with the most onerous anti-gun laws in the U.S. Give up your 2nd Amendment rights under ANY circumstance, and this is what you can look forward to.
The problem the gun control advocates face is that the tougher the gun control the worse the statistics. Puerto Rico was a test case by FDR for gun control in the 1930's and was (and still is) a dismal failure. They even managed to export guns to the White House and the Capitol and tried to kill Truman and others on November 1, 1950. When decent, law abiding people suddenly have their arms taken away from them, they will quickly turn into cynical, hypocritical breakers of the law and quickly but unfortunately lose their allegiances to the Republic. Then the fun starts for federal and local law enforcement.
Americans buy more "official" AK47 type of weapons from the Kalashnikov factory than the Russian military and law enforcement every year. This country is awash in guns. The problem they face is that if they try to enforce a total gun ban, the people will turn to the government's enemies (and they will gladly help by providing weapons) for weapons for their protection. JUST GO TO ANY GUN SHOW. Even if they manage to confiscate all weapons, who is to say that our enemies won't just start dropping crates of ordnance in every city fo the people to have?
BTW, weapon related crimes in the UK have been rising 20% a year since 2006, a place that most gun control advocates show as an example of a more "civilized" society with "complete" gun control.
Your best investment right now is an assault weapon, high capacity magazines and lots of ammunition.
The UK Guardian was reporting that all the nine wounded bystanders in the Empire State shooting were shot by the (2?) cops that responded.
CCTV video looks really weird. As the cops come on the scene and the original shooter is walking away, he turns, draws a gun and gets gunned down. Suicide by cop? The really weird part is that of the two cops shooting, one that's partly off screen, seems to be aiming at, pointing at the perp. The other cop, appears to be aiming about 70 degrees left of the shooter, into the crowd. Nerves?
dooop

the country faces disaster if the other side wins: Absolutely correct. Disaster it will be no matter which clown wins.
And P.S. YOUR VOTE MATTERS. It matters so, so much! /sarc
who's fault is it the tides go back and forth? who's fault is it the moon revolves around the sun?
Your side is the one that the word "LOSER' is associated with.
I'm voting for Mugatu.
I'm voting for Pedro.
Well, there you go: unmitigated disaster it will be.
You are compelled to marry.
You are given two choices.
Choice #1 is fat, ugly and a total bitch.
Choice #2 See above.
I don't want to join any side that would have me as a member.
The past several weeks have made one thing crystal-clear: Our country faces unmitigated disaster if the Other Side wins.
There are no "sides" inside of a circle. One half red, the other half blue, both reside within the same circle, therefore no "sides" are available to choose from, because no "sides" exist in reality..
I don't recall a circle being the geometric shape confing us in this thread. But let's just say it is. Your statement is absurd. It is called a semi circle .....follow the geometry.
The area of a semi circle is 1/2 x pi x r2
Area of circle is pi (3.14) x square of radius. Divide that by two to get half-circle.
First you figure out what the area would be if it were an entire circle using the formula pi times the radius squared. Pi = approx 3.1416. Then if you know the angle (in degrees) that creates the semi circle divide that number by 360. Then multiply that number by the area of the circle.
The formula for the area of a circle is A = ?r2 where r is the radius and ? (Pi) is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
The area of a semicircle is thus half this quantity = ?r2/2
Did you drop your meds?? LOL!!
C'mon baffle us with some more bullshit.
Take the rest of the thread if you need to.
Ahh machines, they have a language all their own.
OK, here's the deal.
IT'S A BIG FUCKING CLUB, AND YOUR NOT IN IT!
And of course, there’s that third side of the triangle, the one that really counts, where all the really big problems are, which neither of the other two sides want to address at all, so they fight a ferocious battle over control of their shared angle of the triangle, to distract us and draw our attention away from that third side.
"Fuck sides, man. What we need here is a little solidarity."

It doesn't matter who's going to win, the wheels are already in motion for our liberties to be taken away, the free market has been dead since the '08 crash (arguably a lot earlier than that), the corpatist state has emerged, and the only difference between the 2 sides: do you want it soft or hard in terms of getting fucked?
Soft or hard? = Obama would set up feeding stations for the starving and Romney would repeal minimum wage laws so we can all have a job at 40 cents an hour cleaning the toilets of the rich.

This is so painfully stupid. To be subjected to this idiocy should be a crime. I'm sure it's a crime somewhere on the planet.
At this point, the elections in Iran are more interesting and probably more truthful.
Why can't they admit that we live in a tyranny of the CORRUPT AND GREEDY?

Politics is a big business now. Sure, we feel your pain , especially those of us not selling advertising time on straight commission, political consultants who get 15% of all the advertising time the ad guy sells to him or her, the rat-fuck printers who got the contracts to print all those signs, posters, T-Shirts, decals, bumper stickers etc., the political consultants who gets 15% for ordering all those printed items while the campaign managers do anything they can to please the political consultants so they too can work on commission as budgets blow up to billions of dollars because this is The Must Important Election Of Our LivesTM
There are billions made by speed writers of books, TV pundits, Web Pundits, Political Blogs, Poll Companies, Poll Watching Companies, Intrade, BS Research by BS academics , TV New Personalities (Entertainers), Limo Companies, Private Jet Service companies, Caterers, Chefs who can make $50,000 plate dinners cost less than $0.96 and not cause mass death, screw the suppliers and never lose sleep. Political Accountants, Forensic Political Accountants for when campaigns screw vendors who still haven't figured out how to get paid, Bookeepers and Candidates, Plastic Surgeons for both Candidate and Candidates Wife, Real Sexual workers instead of political whores and all that's before we count the money made at the conventions, the inaugurations, concession parties and the extortionists who have impeccable timing with personal reliable pollsters when demanding money for keeping skeletons hidden from way back when until the next $$ election.
People say we don't have jobs. Man, there is a whole fucking industry here. All you have to do is to graduate from an Ivy League school and depending on your popularity you too can participate in what is no longer a seasonal business at the highest level of course. It's Year 'round , every year , 24 x 7 . The only thing that increases is intensity. A Presidential Election is the Black Friday of the Political Industry. There's plenty of money to be stolen at the local level too. So lets give a big fucking cheer for American Innovation. If there wasn't this great Divide, how in the fuck would these people live? So give it up for MSNBC and FOX , Clear Channel and all the Radio and TV personalities whose sole job is to make everyone want to hurt the other side so badly they will never think of their own pain as long as they are promised a seat at the winner's side. They don't pay those fuckers 8 Figures a year for nothing.
P.S. You know who sponsored the United Citizens Court Case? The National Association of of Ad Sellers and The National Association of Corrupt Printers and All the Nations Wireless Companies. All I want to know is when is the TM holder of The Most Important Election Of Our LivesTM Is going to start suing the shit out of everyone for using that trademark and not paying royalties.

I'd bet the banksters and the rest of the oligarchs find it humorous that the kleptocrats they have in their pockets are seen by a majority of the population as a solution to their problems.
It started with the Constitution over the Articles of Confederation and Alexander Hamilton and the instituting of the First Bank of the United States.
Our death blow was meted out at our birth.
Yeah, but Burr shot him dead.
Unfortunately he did it 20 years too late.
Useless Trivia:
Burr founded the Bank of the Manhattan Company, which in later years was absorbed into the Chase Manhattan Bank, which in turn became part of JPMorgan Chase.

After the American Revolutionary War, Hamilton was elected to the Continental Congress from New York. He resigned to practice law and founded the Bank of New York.

My side wants to cross over to the other side to bring the other side to his side, so they don't take sides and agree on issues.
The author is hopelessly caught up in the false right/left paradigm. Both sides are run by the same globalist mafia. Has this not yet been figured out!? Both sides are laden with former Americans now globalists. The only advantage to Romney winning is that it will take him a year or so to line up his slate of traitorous minions!
Tuco
I think that is exactly the point he is making!
The side that wins this election will likely get to appoint at least two Supreme Court Justices. Does anyone think that doesn't matter?
It doesn't matter. The constitution is ignored except for those times when there is political advantage in pandering to it.
I think that Chief Justice Roberts proves it doesn't matter who gets to appoint the supreme court judges.
This "commentor" must play a mean game of Russian roullette (and probably should.)
Obama, I'll take Obama
Obama on the rocks:

And the Romney shaken not stirred? It's orange juice and 7Up over ice because you are not allowed anything with caffein (and you will not be able to afford it anyway) and only served in gay bars because women will be home barefoot and pregnant in the Mormon version of the burkha. Oh right, no more gay bars either. And you will not be able to buy OJ or 7Up either.
Now I know why I read ZH every day. I'm lonely. I have many friends on both sides and they all think I'm a fool or a traitor because I'm on the other side. Only here do I find people who understand it.
Your "friends" on both teams should be subjected to a never ending barrage of ruthless fact based mockery. The reality that anyone seriously rooting for either team at this point is an idiot should make this pretty easy.
I'm on the side of the road.
Fuck both sides i say, vote for no body
EXACTLY I have no side.... voting for the guy with no chance. UNLESS Paul pulls an upset.
ill only vote for RP if at the convention he goes to shake mittens hand and pulls it to his hair at the last second and walks off
i second the motion! serious here. we can do this . people will understand. it can happen.

Also, I will forever end the Star-wars missle defence shield program, missle defence is non-essential to our interests.
What the US Military needs is to build a new Space station, we can call it the 'Let-Freedom-Reign Station", that will keep the terrorists from our shores, and support our new vigorous foreign-policy platform.

i love when i post on an article (not at ZH of course) where in the SAME article i bash both a RED and a BLUE supporter and then i get called names at by BOTH .......i repeat SAME ARTICLE !!!!

There are in fact two sides ... the side of my rifle that's against my shoulder, and the side that's pointed away from me. Anyone on the former side is a-okay, everyone else ... well let's just say we take that on a case-by-case basis. ;)

In November you can claim to be on the winning side.

These are a very few of what is wrong the USA - If this is democracy (where Obama the Totalitarian and Romney that Oligarch are the only choice) then you can keep it.
The World no longer trusts American execs, laws or politicians
No one seems able to think beyond "the either or" dualistic thinking, i.e. "us vs them" for example. This narrow mindedly dualistic thinking is exactly why we're in the shit as a nation. Nobody thinks!
Fucking awesome. Sums why I probably won't even vote. doesn't matter who wins. The show i mean circus will go on and on and they will keep making us think we have a say in anything, especially voting for "my side" and thinking it made a fucking difference.
I saw a Yahoo Finance poll several hours ago, where roughly 30% said economy will get better if Obama wins, another roughly 30% for Romney, and the rest saying economy won't get better either way.

Imagine you're locked in a huge underground night-club filled with sinners, whores, freaks and unnameable things that rape pitbulls for fun. And you ain't allowed out until you all vote on what you're going to do tonight. You like to put your feet up and watch "Republican Party Reservation". They like to have sex with normal people using knives, guns, and brand new sexual organs you did not even know existed.

One last time... RP will not be on the ballot!
I choose the one who's more obviously lying when he say's he truly believes the things that he says he believes, simply because he know he needs the votes of those who really DO believe it. I sure as hell don't want someone in the presidency who actually believes it. That's for damn sure.

What do you prefer a knife in the throat or a bullet in the ribs?
That's pretty much the choice.
You will notice I put the word election in quotes.
Here's a very relevant quote -
"it's not the people who vote that caount; It's the people who count the votes" - Joe Stalin
Can anyone say Diebold?
Can you say SCYTL?
MDB...tuned in here late, but you need to check your history books....the "Founders" did not have anything to say about the dual mandate the Fed believes it has. The Founders 1776 era; the Fed 1913...........
Second you make it sound as if you believe "economics" is a real science....but you are right it is a belief system pondered by "academics"....but with no real world experience. Pontificating from an ivory tower just does not work....like Climate Change modelers telling us we will be inundated by seas 12 feet high because of the (biased) garbage they call hard data they put into their biased models.
The founders did not. They charged the Congress with managing money powers and Congress charged themselves with full employment. The CFR twisted it around and here we are, providing full emplyment to slaves in communist countries and welfare checks to the super rich. McCarthy was right!

The only real truth is contained in the elegant workings of an unburdened Invisible Hand.
All praise him with high praise!
So what has decades of choosing the lesser of two evils candidates got to show for it?
It's not the option of choosing the lesser of 2 evils. It's the systematic conditioning of incremental increases in evil.
That's why I'm long the world's most valuable commodity - Scapegoats.
Mean while back at the "Ranch"? I mean " Jackson HOLE> " A new mini series of "Hee Haw" is being filmed!
The Bernak and Timmy teamed up to wear the "Jackass costume" ! CNBS does the voice over...
Anybody who still thinks our problems are caused by, or can be fixed by this party or that party. Need to step back and take a good hard look at both sides.
The problems we now face were caused by both parties, and neither has the brains or the balls to fix it.
This has stopped being a red vs blue problem, and has become a problem of
people vs corpgov
The only way out of this is to throw out all the politicians, default all debt, and start over from scratch.
Start from scratch? The MASS ARRESTS are coming... sure as the sun will cross the sky, they are coming... http://tinyurl.com/cd5cyjo/
Because we are all like-minded independent thinkers (well, most of us) and this is about the two-party system, I think that most of you will enjoy my friend and fellow ZH'er Ian56's guest post I put on my site. He covers the Stalinism in the Republican party---and breaks it down. I hope everyone checks it out and the site, I still have one of the ZH articles up from this morning. It is linked off http://www.topthenews.com/index.php/221-ian-s-guest-post-stalinism-in-the-republican-party
I want you to be successful , and I hope you are. But you are going to have to make a couple adjustments. The first is the site needs to be easier to navigate. You need hyper links to your top news stories and you need an archive link to your old stories. Secondly you need hyperlinks to various financial and news sites. I will continue to support your efforts I hope others do as well.
All your sides are belong to us.
Bitches
Bottom line is we're fucked!
These scumbags in power should have the balls to tell us we are all slave labor, and everything is make believe.
Relax Rebellion; Tunga take care of everything. Double quick.You see.
