I'm TOTALLY voting for Obama now that I've seen this

I absolutely feel that politics should not be discussed on a public forum. Same as religion.

Whats the point? a flame war? why waist your time Preaching to anyone about your feelings on national matters, when its NOT going to matter who wins. Neither of the two are going to do this country a bit of good. Other then Ridding us of the President we have now.

I have my Beliefs and opinions on both President. but why the hell should you care what i think? I surely Don't care what you think!

I have to disagree. I will however, give you that it is not a good topic for work or the dinner table.
Politics MUST be part of the public discourse. We shouldn't just watch/read the "news" and believe whatever the talking heads say. We need to talk about it, to listen to other people's points of view on any given topic.
I suspect that there are a lot of people who may be leaning towards one candidate or the other, but who can also be swayed by new (to them) information.
I will say that I have been paying more attention to Sen. Obama's campaign than I have Sen. McCain's. This is not necessarily because I support Obama, it is because I know much less about him. There is so much stuff being put out there, that it is pretty tough to figure out what is real or not.
I have not made up my mind 100% as to which one I will vote for, and won't for some time. I'm trying to listen and learn as much as I can from both sides of the aisle.

Thanks for sharing your feelings. I tried talking to myself about my political views, but the conversations were soon over, because I was always in agreement.:looney:

I feel that we have the responsibility as US Citizens to educate ourselves and speak up and take action.

Biggest thing people need to start doing is respecting others opinions. Just because their opinion isn't your opinion doesn't make it wrong, its their opinion not yours.
So lets keep talking about our opinions and maybe each of us will learn something new about the cannidates, whether its a like or dislike.

And calling them Osama or McBush, is just in good fun.
 
You know Barrack has hit bottom when he had to revive MARGARET CHO'S
pathetic excuse for a career.

FTR...Forrest Whittaker should be ashamed of himself.

Who cares?

If this kind of thing is what you use to base your vote on, you probably shouldn't vote at all.

Kind of answered your own statement there....

If you thought that propaganda like this wouldn't get you votes or support, why make the video....

Shows what the Donkey-types think will get them votes....you don't have to have any ideas or plans, just a few catch phrases and celebrities, who think they're smart b/c they're on TV, in your corner...
 
I like all the comments about how republicans hate people who aren't like them and don't want to help anybody but themselves.

Isn't it the difference between giving a man some fish V.S. teaching a man how to fish? Democrats want to give away fish while republicans would rather teach people how to fish... the problem is, the democrats are wanting to give away OUR fish!

So if you don't use your head, which looks better, a group of people giving away fish or a group of people not giving away anything but instead, trying to make people work to catch their own fish? So it's no wonder with as large of an idiot population as there is in the US that people demonize republicans and see democrats as caring and compassionate. Just a thought I had...

How about the shot of a closed down factory in the video? Why no mention of the labor union that ran it under or out of the country. Hmmmm?

Just because their opinion isn't your opinion doesn't make it wrong,That's not why they're wrong.

...its their opinion not yours. So I should pitty them, or what?

So lets keep talking about our opinions and maybe each of us will learn something new about the cannidates...Their "oppinion" is not based on having learned anything. What's your point?

...whether its a like or dislike. "Dislike is such an understatment.

And calling them Osama or McBush, is just in good fun. Uh...Osama is a threat to this nation. That's not good and that's not fun; not at all.

Just because their opinion isn't your opinion doesn't make it wrong,That's not why they're wrong. Then why are they?

...its their opinion not yours. So I should pitty them, or what? Thats fine, usually I just feel sorry for the Dems.

So lets keep talking about our opinions and maybe each of us will learn something new about the cannidates...Their "oppinion" is not based on having learned anything. What's your point? Maybe you'll learn something.

...whether its a like or dislike. "Dislike is such an understatment. Yea he is a jackass.

And calling them Osama or McBush, is just in good fun. Uh...Osama is a threat to this nation. That's not good and that's not fun; not at all. True but it sure does get his supporters panties in a bunch when you say it, thats fun.

In the same manner as any other form of communication or interaction, their present and past behavior.

It appears as though they are delusional.

Learning from the ignorance of others is fine as long as I don’t suffer the consequences of that ignorance.
