Obama Wins!

[Ben]

Of course, Obama isn't to blame for this.... But Obama's Justice Department refused to prosecute any of the Bush administration officials who committed war crimes. Namely John Yoo and others... (I mean, to me, well, adoring and fawning over the likes of Obama is, well, like fawning over the likes of Rex Tillerson. It seems strange. I mean, why don't people go gaga over CEO and Chairmen of ExxonMobil Rex Tillerson? They're part of the same system, the same structure.)

About that Iraq withdrawal

Both parties work to churn out myths regarding the President's announcement that all troops will leave by year end

By Glenn Greenwald

As Glenn Greenwald points out: "... the troop withdrawal is required by an agreement which George W. Bush negotiated and entered into with Iraq and which was ratified by the Iraqi Parliament prior to Obama’s inauguration."
Odd that Obama gets all the credit -- ha ha!

Proesute Bush for war crimes! People say he wasted his political capital on health care. I haven't seen anyone fawning or going gaga over Obama this time around. But unlike the willfully blind everybody-is-the-same-crowd most people saw clear distinctions between these two candidates and chose accordingly.

the words of a poor jaded person who is powerless by his choice, not because he is being held down by the right, left or middle.

if the government of this country is working to keep you without power and poor, please feel free to leave for a better place.

i don't know what's worse....the wide-eyed optimists that think their party is the answer to all issues or the pessimist that thinks there is no answer. both of you are useless cunts.

The average citizen is powerless. The people in power are going to do whatever they want regardless of how we vote. It all comes down to whether or not you vote for the guy that will do it in your face or the guy that is going to do it behind your back.

[Yeah]

Like i said. Both have faults and are always think their views are right. plus twist things to the extreme.

can the average citizen change tax codes, marital laws or defense expenditures? no...but that's the whole point of common laws and government. without it, it would be chaos and while it might sound nice in theory, its really not.

look...many people are jaded and mistrustful of government, but that's really because you are ultimately unhappy with your own situation and want someone to blame.

i really don't see why you think there are evils being perpetrated against you and like i said, if it is so bad here, go someplace more to your liking.

ultimately very few people can admit that there is only 1 truth to any situation. there is no left or right fact...there is only fact and how you decide you want to be biased in your interpretation. that's why our government moves so slowly...too much bickering and as always, the extremists always scream the loudest

I'm actually very happy in my life but that doesn't mean I have to like one side over the other. I think they are both very dishonest.

Did you vote?
