US Prez Election 2012 Thread - Opinions and Discussions

[Coito ergo sum]

This thread is going to have a trillion posts and will never be out of my ego search. Why did I post, God, why?

Serves you right, you bloody idiot.



Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh FUCK!

I blame Darwin.

Erasmus Darwin?

This will be an interesting election, to be sure. Obama needs to find a way to recapture support from the folks on the left who are mad at him for not being the Anti-Bush, and those in the middle who are just treading water (or, too often, sinking) financially. The republican candidate needs to find a way to appeal to the frothing-mad but highly motivated Sarahbaggers while still convincing the middle that he or she is not in fact clinically insane. I think Gingrich is the only guy out there right now with a substantial following in both camps, though he's not much less of a zealot than Huckabee. Romney would be an interesting choice, but he'd be put in the position of having to campaign against a democratic health care bill that's almost a carbon-copy of the one he signed into law as governor, and besides, he's one of them thar not quite Christian types that the extreme evangelicals might have problems voting for.

If Sarah Palin becomes president, the United States will officially have the most retards per capita of any country in the universe.

I'll be sitting by with my popcorn for this shit. Obama's a "Marxist"; Palin's a retard; he's an evil commie; she's an intellectually challenged 13 year old in the body of a middle-age soccer mom...

It'll be hilarious, just you watch

What I neglected to mention is the biggest change in the election process: the most recent extension of "corporate personhood", the Supreme Court ruling which allows corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money on political advertisements. We'll soon be electing a Verizon President, Exxon-Mobil Senators, and Walmart Representatives.

Obama will invade Iraq a la Bush. I mean Iran. They've already ransacked Iraq.

Isn't it already official? Bush? TWICE!! Not to mention Raygun.

[Coito ergo sum]

I'm not sure you can rank the Democrats any higher. After all, in order to reach his peeps, the President just appeared on the View, a program for the retards, by the retards.

Mr. President, do you Tweet?

What're your thoughts on Mel Gibson, "snooki" and "Lindsey Lohan," Mr. President?

Maybe Obama doesn't even want to win in 2012: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne ... -2012.html

It is interesting to read this thread, three weeks later, in a time when the major Republican candidates named in the thread have spent those three weeks playing "Who's The Biggest Bigot?" on their party media outlet.

LOL - Letterman points out that Obama will have plenty of time for vacations after his one term: http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2010/08/25/ ... -vacation/

She is very popular. Why, I have no idea.

Have you watched her speech at the 2008 Republican convention? She's popular because she gets the idea of the government working for the people, rather than the government telling the people what to do.

Unfortunately she is poorly educated and has a poor understanding of the issues.

She never ceases to irritate me with her hyper-folksy and hokey delivery, with her little "gotcha" digs sprinkled throughout her speeches. She has a very "wink wink" delivery, like she's trying to talk to people in the crowd directly, and that she's letting them in personally on the secret - like - "wink wink - 'they' are trying to pull the wool over our eyes, but 'we' see right through those city-folk and their big city ways..."

I find her approach insulting and condescending. She talks to people like they are idiots. And, she has never impressed me as having any understanding of history or philosophy, or anything else. She is a good glad hander and that's about it. She appeals to soccer moms, I think, because they think she's one of them now working in high office - they could be her - and they see any attack on her as an attack on them.
