QUESTION FOR DEMOCRATS/LIBERALS | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1381442 United States 05/16/2011 04:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm about as liberal as they come and I'm not planning on voting for him again. I'm not planning on voting for anyone. Maybe a third party candidate, but I doubt I'll ever bother voting in anything other than local elections, ever again. It's become completely obvious to me that Dems, at least at the upper level of politics, are just as sociopathic and/or gutless as their so-called opponents on the so-called other side of the aisle. Why would I want to help lend this farce the aura of legitimacy? |

I will consider any solid candidate who has a chance to win...but guys like Mitt, Newt, Trump, Huckabee are all garbage. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1319485 United States 05/16/2011 04:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am not starting this thread to argue with dems/liberals, I just want to know where they are coming from and their thought process and such. Quoting: Evan03So my question is: As a leftist why would you vote for 4 more yrs of obama? It seems the right would like him more than the left now. He has just pushed along bush's agenda, with wars, guantonimo, patriot act, tax breaks, indefinite detention, and so on, the list is quite long. These are all things dems oppose, so I dont understand why you would still vote for him. Is it because you would rather have him than any other repub? And if so, dont you think it's wrong to vote for someone just because you dont like the other candidate? Also, would you be willing to vote Ron Paul? He is fiscally conservative but socially he is pretty liberal as are most libertarians. thx for your replies. The reason is: (Political) Programming |

But, over the years, the majority of people who ran for office were totally lame. Was it Kurt Vonnegut who wrote "only nut cases want to be president". |

It goes to illustrate that indeed; it does not matter who you vote for because most of policy is determined by civilian (non-elected, appointed, employees) members of many, many federal institutions. these institutions when examined will bleed into corporate entities faster than you can say "geopolitical economic motivators". I'd highly suggest a read of People's History of America by Howard Zinn [link to www.historyisaweapon.com] and Killing Hope by William Blum [link to killinghope.org] and read about the United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities: ( Church Committee ) [link to en.wikipedia.org] then watch The Money Masters [link to www.youtube.com] then watch Collapse [link to www.youtube.com] Now take a DEEP BREATH, and tell yourself that your government would NEVER LIE TO YOU YOUR GOVERNMENT DOES NOT LIE TO YOU. Much love. |
