Election '12
« on: August 31, 2011, 11:07:02 pm »
I like election '12 because most political discourse is on about the level of a 12 year old.

Anyway, these are the people that have a great deal of control over our lives.  And let's face it, political theater can be very compelling.  Given our current political climate that's seems especially true.  So as we brace ourselves for the coming onslaught of negativity and hatred this Presidential election cycle will bring I offer you, my friends, this thread as an oasis in a desert of negativity.  It is only here where we few, who value civility of discourse above all else, are able to discuss the issues of the day without resorting to negativity.

Ladies and Gentlemen of TOUAMB, I give you the Election thread for 2012.  Thank You!

Obama has utterly disappointed me but, on the other hand, the entire Republican field is either religious psychotics or discredited used car salesmen so...

The Tea Partiers are awful cocksuckers.

Obama sold out his mandate (at that is very uncomfortable for me to say).

I give up.

Has he done anything besides slobber on Boehner's dick? And no, that watered down health care bill don't count. It's taken me a decade or so but I've finally realized that not only voting is pissing in the wind, unless you are Daddy Warbucks, you really can't make a difference on the national level. Don't matter how hard you work for whatever, it don't mean shit unless you've got money. So get arrested and sentenced, DeChristopher, they gonna keep fracking. Fuck, I don't know what I'm talking about.

Obama drives me fuck*ng mad sometimes.

Is he really just this much of a fuck*ng coward?

Is he really just this much of a fuck*ng milquetoast fuck*ng moderate? Which would be about the funny-saddest thing in politics ever, when the fuck*ng Teabaggers paint the guy as Josef fuck*ng Stalin ideologically when in any sane political context, if anything he's fuck*ng slightly right of centre in his actual functional policies?

Or is he just overthinking the shit out of his place in history, thinking that because he's the first minority (whatever that will mean in the long stretch of history) president, he's gotta be a centrist compromiser, to set a historical precedent or something, nevermind what this country needs or what he was elected to do?

And the worst part of it is... he's be the least bad option of all the people in the 2012 election and I'll end up holding my fuck*ng nose and voting for him.

Jesus. Can we get a fuck*ng parlimentary system, please? Yesterday, maybe?
