Melody's Melodramatic Meltdown on Mitt Romney (Tounge Twister?)

Has anyone noticed how Joe Biden is out of most of Obama's poltical ads now instead of Biden, he's occasionally accompanied by his wife, Michelle?

She's a very beautiful lady, I don't think anyone would say otherwise, but she's not in the running here. Its just a recent change I've been noticing on the web ads.

He's been doing a lot of great stump speeches though (which never seem to make it onto TV, you gotta catch CNN Live.com or other online sources). The guy's a hell of a motivator/speaker, when he get his foot out of his mouth for more than 5 seconds that is ROFL >.<


Oh Joe, we kid because we luv. But seriously, watch yer damn mouth son XD

In the thrilling sequel to "Go the F**k to Sleep," Samuel L. Jackson in the best goddamn political ad ever:

The ad's quite inspiring, and though Obama's been lacking,
I think that we can all agree to send Mitt Romney packing.

Found this interesting. Its anti-Romney, but not the way you think. Its from a Mormon-centric "watchdog" site on how Romney advanced the LGBT "agenda" during his time as governor. It kinda of paints a different picture than what the pro-Obama site is, but it also cites Romney's flip-flopping. However, it also reminds me of how Anderson Cooper has rather aggressively pointed out even tot he DNC chair that Romney's stance on LGBT issues doesn't really jibe with the GOP platform.

Mitt Romney’s step beyond same-sex ‘marriage’

It changes my mind very little about Obama or Romney - i still think they're both terrible for the country on the whole because they're really not that different - but if you're more mindful about social issues than other stuff it might be worth a read because it is not consistent with the narrative popular media and political ads are pushing against Romney. Could be this his supposed anti-LGBT stance is nothing but a load of hot air.

And really, I don't believe there's really been one president that's advanced LGBT such issues. In fact, its worth pointing out DADT and DOMA both came to be under Clinton and that Obama's push to have DADT was not 100% because like so many LGBT issues the "T' is apparently silent or tossed under the bus if it serves the rest of the acronym.

That would be kind of like how white feminists toss women of other races under the bus, how the black community will do it to other races and so one. Or how Obama or Romney will do it to the Latino vote if elected/re-elected, Oh wait, Obama already has:

So we have these two late-2012 180s from Obama on LGBT rights and immigration, but it feels like an opportunity and he's totally going to do something about them... maybe. He's the "best" we have now and can work for something better "next" time. At least that's what we can tell ourselves when the two-party system throws all of America under the bus again.

Cannot. Emphasize. This. Enough.

Nice of him not to touch the simple fact that both candidates are the same and controlled by the exact same interest groups (aka the Corporations) so voting for either is like voting for more of the same vanilla ice cream, only one has cookie chips and the other has gummy bears. But everything below the surface is the exact same. <_<;

Did Ron Paul start his own party yet? Now that would be a good reason to vote.




PS > Amazing how bi-partisan support spawns out of thin air for shady things like the NDAA or the increase on Defense spending (at the expense of all the other things that actually benefit the population and not contractors), isn't it?

He also leaves out that the Electoral College will potentially steal your vote and your voice if Democrats and Republicans haven't rigged the system in your district to start with. If you do the research, you can go back as far as 1992 to see how Ross Perot was the only third party candidate to beat the system and get on ballots, whereas Nadar and Paul were systematically snuffed out by the parties they directly threatened. I met Green Party memebers that had met all the criteria to get Nadar on the NC ballot and somehow the the petitions and met requirements magically disappeard before the appointed day or magically showed up weeks after even after being sent weeks in advance.

As far as the office of president goes, there is no real choice and your vote does not matter - its all the other people you vote for that matter because you can't snuff out the independents and libertarians at the state and city level, you can't easily remove them from running for the House or Senate. Too many people to track in the political spectrum. Presidential candidates - that's simple.

They focus on those two guys running to get in the White House in hopes you are dumb enough to tow the party line and vote for everyone else aligned with the president's party.

Your vote is important for those OTHER people, so don't be a dumbass and vote straight down the party line - vote for the people you agree with instead, despite party. Your vote for president means nothing, you can write in Oscar the Grouch and Kitty Pride and it will mean just as much as voting for Romney and Obama.

"Voting is the youtube comments of government." I was almost tempted to agree to this, but then I remembered how everything that comes out of our politicians' mouths sounds about as rational and mature as a youtube comment. Tbh, as much as I like vlogbrothers, every time Hank weighs in on important issues I find myself disagreeing with him, even if I might have been partial to his position to begin with. He's fine at entertaining, but not so much at being persuasive or informative, imo.

I'm voting this fall, but not because I feel it is Important and makes a Difference. I'm voting because if my stated goal is to make a difference, then voting is the least I can do, and if I'm not even going to do that then I should drop the pretense of caring about politics.

Did Ron Paul start his own party yet? Now that would be a good reason to vote.

They're called Libertarians. RP didn't found them, and stopped calling himself one when he decided that third party candidates really have no chance in our system, but the philosophy is identical.

"Voting is the YouTube comments of government".

That seems depressingly accurate.

Now, TYT is super liberal, but I find it hard to argue with this assessment and hope they're right:

So sad for the GOP that this was their best guy out of a field of like a dozen candidates (RP of course excepted) and he's getting steamrolled. Here's hoping this wakes them up and they abandon their extremist insanity and start being a respectable party. Not hoping a lot, but hoping.

Louis Black already spoiled it

Romney: Bad ideas
Obama: No ideas

Re: Melody's Melodramatic Meltdown on Mitt Romney (Tounge Twister?)

I kind of want to vote for a third party candidate this election, but the prospect of Romney winning terrifies me and Obama is the candidate most likely(read: the only candidate) to defeat him at the ballot box.

What do?
