This is the best comment I have seen all day.

***** give a man guns, laws based on the bible and turning 'Murica into a theocracy, lower taxes and no minimum wage so he can get rich off the back of his employees ( or just pay less taxes, because taxes are baaaad ), and the risk of dying like a damn animal because he can't afford healthcare, and... he'll... somehow vote republican. And before you bash me, i'm not even American. Just sayin', education and healthcare and not freakin' dying of hunger in the richest country on Earth should be rights. Not privileges. That's all i wish your country freakin' provided, nothing more. by the way, while you squabble over petty shit like this, the ultra-rich in your country get away with tax cuts and legal loopholes that let them get richer and richer, while the rest get poorer and poorer. But yeah, ignore that and just hope that they'll reinvest and treat their employees fairly so that trickle-down economics will work. sheesh.

s casino You're preachin' to the choir....(do you have a saying like that in your country?) Simply because I hammered the Democrats, it doesn't mean that I'm a Republican. I'm an equal opportunity basher. Considering the BIG picture, there's not much of a difference between the two. America is still fighting the oil wars, which goes on no matter who's in power, but this administration has made some really stupid moves, especially in the Middle East. Bottom line.....the international banksters and corporations still control America's politicians and much of the rest of the world. One specific example of the cluelessness of the American people is the Federal Reserve Bank in the U.S.....most people think that it's a government bank, but it's actually a private bank owned by 12 American and international banks. They have a 'license' to print money, (among other things,) then loan said money and reap the profits. Btw.....they don't call it printing money. Their name for it is 'qualitative easing.' Lololool. The world's finances are controled by a few hundred people, and the sheeple are too skull-fucked to understand that they're getting screwed, every which way but loose.

***** agreed, agreed, agreed so much. i never quite understood how America can tolerate a 2-party system. It's either black or white, it's who you hate ever so slightly less. that's messed up. and they fight over stupid shit to keep you distracted from the real horrible shit the top 1% of the 1% are doing.

I dont even like either party but listening to democrats talk about how stupid republicans are as if they are any fuckijg better makes me so sick i would never vote for their fucking candidate. I dont have much of an opinion on their politics but democrats are just such assholes i cant stand those people.

becuase england is alot older than the usa. we are still a young country.onl a little over 400 years old. while england is over 1000 years old. so im sure in your history,(ive studied it) you had poilitical, religious, God issues in your history. :)

Amen.

trellbfieldArts _ Not an excuse, America was a British colony.

Gino Ramos what does that have to do with being an independent nation starting in 1775?

Gino Ramos and not all of what we would call "america" was a british colony, france owned majority of the mid USA. and it wasnt annexed into the usa until the luisiana purchase. geez man, wtf do they teach you little fucks in school nowadays.

***** Nah, I just butchered the quote from memory. Here is the exact quote: "If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time." -- Harry Truman www.trumanlibrary.org/publicpapers/index.php?pid=1296

@@ArcticSlicer it’s been a long time since I’ve heard that quotewas he referring to Thomas Dewey.

Too late Ron Paul was the last hope.

If you didn't have a "first past he post" system that would be simple. Right now, even if 20% of the population votes for a third party, they won't win anything if they're spread out equally. You have a two party system. Change that first.

james elimian Maybe is yall give out free stuff at the voting lines a lot more liberals would vote ?

***** no, it's not illegal, and it's not a republican issue. See, you have a first past the post system - ie, one representative per district. Many other countries have a proportional system - multiple representatives per district. In the case of first past the post, the party with the most votes gets the only representative. In the case of multiple representatives, the two-three most voted for candidates wins. If the democrats split in two, both parties would be quite small - in other words, the republicans would rule the entire country. It's sad, but that's how t works over there.

***** I did mention voter suppression in another thread - that must be what you were referring to.

not enough, neo-cons put the ASS in classless, ass

They insert profanities in place of logical reasoning, hoping that nobody will notice.

I can say it about 200 times a day and mean it.

I'm guessing you are a god fearing person? Only then, would someone be afraid of a simple word. It is used as an exclamation, not a profanity.

itumblers And RWers are elitist entitlement queens....

That last guy was fucking hilarious.

***** Here here good sir.

I can't tell you how much I agree with SkinnyAssGame Slayer. The Democrats keep resting on their laurels with regard to appeasing SJWs on social issues, but do diddly with regard to economic issues, like healthcare reform, corporate regulations, tax reform, raising minimum wage, stimulating the economy, etc., that affect everyone SJWs, non-SJWs, men, women, LGBT, straight people, religious, non-religious, etc. What's worse is that they try to pretend to be Republicans while they appease SJWs, which makes no sense.

Club Soda As long as its not mine

Or a complete morass. You know, whichever.

Morass?

"a complicated or confused situation"

It was back in the day where you needed the fear of God to enforce a certain social behavior but today, we've got laws to back it up. So if religion is a moral compass, today's standards are a GPS.

yeah this country is s cluster fuck and so is religion. But at the end of the day it is up to the individual to accept the teachings as a GUIDE. And if you want to get stupid and say well religion teaches how to kill. Well yeah it does and if you wanna retain that it's on you. i'm not an idiot so I know murder is wrong. And those laws prevent crime? No because if that individual had morals they would go get a job instead of getting some quick cash. Right? And why put laws in place? I mean if people have a moral compas wich btw needs no power to function just a DIRECTION they wouldn't need to put laws in place and PAY people to do so. Right?

Did you take a look at other countries? America is almost as right as it can go. Even liberals aren't really in the middle of the political spectrum where they belong but in the mid right. And these "Communists" right wingers keep screaming about are just the normal liberals in other countries.

***** How is she so Fake?? What do you know about her?? Did you watch her in the 90's.. and then in the Senate get things done... why does that make her fake??

Volox TV Do you think theres anything wrong with that? I mean this respectfully, Im just interested.

I just have to say this... this country is (according to the exit polls and polls done over and over and the results of last night) economic conservative to moderate and socially moderate to liberal.. that puts us right in the center... and for people like ***** to say they would rather vote for a Republican which is both Conservative on fiscal and Social, is down right appalling!! Go ahead and do that and we'll end up with another George W. Bush... would you like that???

Madonna MI I know the question was addressed to Volox, but as an American, and also as someone who has been a part of the expatriate community for 8 years (I am current back in the US).. I would say that yes, there is something wrong with that. There is no real sense of balance, and it seems the exact same faction, and cultural mindset keeps being projected. In the long run other countries will outpace us because often far right wing ideas holds a nation-state back immensely. In a sense I am looking at this from the perspective the the US wants to go in an authoritarian direction where people just blindly do as they're told. Expats will stop coming here, international tourism to the United States since 9/11 has seriously been crippled. Look I have many many friends in many countries and on every continent. Most of them are 100% fine with the prospect of never being able to obtain a US tourist visa because there are a lot of different countries that are moving forward in this era, and they are opening up, and often there are some very interesting places in other parts of the world too. The US is not the only unique place on Earth. We have to kind of keep this in mind. I keep it in mind because I want people who are not Americans to love America, or to at least have something positive to say about America. Why? Because I was born and raised in America, and I am proud of America for the accomplishments that many of our ancestors strive for and did achieve. I am also African American/Black American, my ancestors fought in every single American war. So yes, if America is going to continue down this right wing direction then it spells trouble for the future of America. Because the best talent will go to other countries, and if the right wingers want to curve it. They will not choose to offer better incentives for the talent to stay, but will just make a reactionary decision to probably make international travel for Americans illegal. It can easily go in a totalitarian direction. A lot is currently at stake in this current decade!

I remember that too I was like fuck then anyone can be in the senate

Nothing was going to get done either way. I predict that when we look back upon this decade, this election will be relatively insignificant. 2016 and especially 2020 will be huge.
