assumptive of what?

people SHOULD get annoyed at this time of year, they should be SO annoyed by now that they are full of passion and wanting to make their country something amazing again.

It doesn't matter who we vote for, if the powers that be didn't want Bush in office he would have been assassinated.

Who is more a fool, the puppet? or the puppet who thinks they have power to elect their puppet leader?

Fuck.

No, it wasn't. You apparently aren't even aware of the history of the United States.

DeadDiscoDildo 11.03.2008 06:20 PM

I will still offer you marriage if you want though :-)

Listening to people argue about politics is like listening to Catholics argue against Jews about their God.

er, anyone who thinks they don't have the power to make a change in a democratic country.

Again, the fact that there is apathy about feeling as though you don't have that choice or power any more, should be shocking, but its just so average thatit means nothing. Surely there is something wrong when not only do citizens feel they can't make a difference, they also feel this, and then don't care?

really? I find political debate far more interesting than religious, at least there is a point. Religion is about a man and his god. Politics is about a man and his neighbours.

it appears the State can't handle the citizens actually voting...the Bush junta forcing the replacement of all "aged" "manual" machines across the country with the result-flipping e-machines - these are turning out to be a disaster for the citizens wanting accurate results, but easy for the fascists to manipulate results.

hours on line waiting to vote is simply unacceptable. There is no reason the State can't get its act together. The US can kill thousands of children in the name of democracy but doesn't allow its citizens to vote. And that's the phoney contempofascist shit they pull "Oh sure, come vote at this time and date as required by the Constitution" but then when you go you can't actually vote for one reason or another or you are waiting around for hours or the cops greet you down the road to give you a seatbelt pamphlet etc etc in the end the animals come out and start lapping at the blood.

it's not worth getting worked up over sweety.

you see it from the oustide... as a single entity... there are a lot of people here, stay close to the people you like, and life is great, no matter what asshole sits in the white house. and honestly, if i were going to vote, i would likely vote republican anyway

There is less apathy in this election than any election I have ever seen.
