Hahaha, I agree. I just vote for whichever person I think sucks the least.Originally Posted by Tracy
Make sure you don't come at me like that just because you don't agree with it. I'm not really the one. I don't have to google to have an opinion, budTo be honest, I don't keep up with any of the political bullsh.it because it's all just that...bullsh.it. I don't agree with what any of them have to say.
If anyone wants to know the truth about how I feel about any of it (which I'm sure you don't but f.uck it)...when they start using the popular vote and my vote actually counts...I'll vote. When it doesn't cost $50 million to run a campaign, I'll vote. Until then it's all just corrupt bullsh.it that my vote isn't going to change. I don't contribute/pay off enough to the rich people running this country to actually have a say.
then why bother having an opinion at all?

What? I'm not sure what you are asking. I have an opinion because I am human and most humans have one on everything unless they are in a coma? Does that make you feel better?
I think what he is trying to ask is if you will not participate in the election process then why have an opinion on policies. No offense to you but I do think its a valid question, it is the responsibility of the people to vote. In the grand scheme of things your vote does matter and a "popular vote" majority rule is quite dangerous. Most are not willing to get out and educate theirselves on the issues or think critically. Otherwise you stand at the side and let politicians continue to make policies that dictate how you live your life.
Like I said, this is not something I feel like getting into a 12 page paragraph argument on. I have had enough face to face discussions about it in the past few weeks to make me puke. I'll see if I can put my view simply enough to get my feeling across without pissing off MR org. I do watch the news and I do read magazines and the Internet. I'm not ignorant to the candidates positions. That's not to say that I completely sure of their positions because they aren't even sure of their positions. I watched CNN last night and had to change the channel because they can't get what they stand for straight..so how am I supposed to? I may not be able to debate at the Iowa caucus, but I did watch it(along with other scattered televised events). I also went to college and took Political Science just like most people who went to college did. The president doesn't run sh.it around here. Sure he has the right to veto and can make SOME executive decisions...but they are a pawn of the cabinet...of which are APPOINTED and not voted in by me or you...but voted on by the Senate....WHO REALLY RUN ****. So everyone makes a big deal out of voting for president, when they should really focus on who they vote into becoming a judge since they are the ones who become members of the Senate a lot of the time
You know what? This is too long already and I can see it getting 12 paragraphs longer if I keep on. I think medical care should be socialized. I also think that there should be less tax breaks for multi-millionaire companies so that their taxes can be applied to things like socialized medical care and higher education...rather than them applying their extra money to the presidential campaigns that costs $50 million dollars each (in other words paying off officials essentially). I think that every candidate should be given an equal budget by the gov't that is taken from million dollar company taxes.
Ok so there is a little of my stance. Remind me not to post in threads like this again
P.S. If it's our responsibility to vote...then make it illegal to not vote. I'll vote for that. Oh yea, I know there are a million /reasons excuses why that can't or will never happen. It basically comes down to that we have a lot of work to do to make things fair and just and that would take too much time and too much money and piss off too many white men.
Have you ever been to "Great" Britain? Have you ever been to Canada? Try getting a dentist appointment in "Great" Britain! Just look at the british people's teeth! That is because they have socialized health/dental care so it takes a year to get a dentist appointment....while here in the US i go to the dentist once every 6 months and have no cavities and can walk into a hospital if i have any health problems!Like I said, this is not something I feel like getting into a 12 page paragraph argument on.

You think there should be LESS tax breaks for multi-million dollar corps.? Are you kidding? Who do you work for? I doubt you work for a poor person that leaches off of the government. If there weren't rich people YOU WOULDNT HAVE A JOB!
why make it illegal for someone not to vote? I think if someone is living off of the goverment (welfare) they should NOT be allowed to vote. I also think that before you vote you should have to answer a few simple questions (do we have a RIGHT to vote? who is your congress man/woman? etc) to prove a persons knowledge about our government and the constitution.
p.s. if you cannot answer the two questions above correctly, please stay away from the poles tomorrow
