  • Lol how'd that work out

  • i believe this at first then i heard some of the comments people were saying in the video, then i looked down saw someone talking about the an Onion then i looked up and realized i was on the Onion, i then got embarrassed with myself.

  • he was gonna get my vote anyway... ...good sport...!

  • fuckin politics

  • whoever owns the media has such power in influencing public opinions on all sorts of things, as a "consumer" i thought like "oh if i dont like it i can just change the channel". Actually, it doesnt really work that well when you want objective information about something they have interests pursuing certain goals.

  • i think people should take a look at those candidates that almost never get mentioned by the media. The media is all about perry and romney; back in 08 it was all about obama (oh look at how he turned out as hope and change?)

  • 4 out of 5 Texans believes every word uttered in this video is serious and TRUE...sorta...

  • @deetjay1 Only the ones you hear about... lol

  • the only fight we have against the new machines is to have local people do exit polls at their local polling place... and compare the results with the "official" machine count. Sure, some people won't divulge their choice, but the results from those who do will paint a very good picture, enough to verify, or nullify, the machine's results.

  • wowowowow wait wait wait,.... how duid they get a video camera into filming an election booth!?????

  • Video .. Funny. Comments from people who think it's real ... Hilarious.

  • this is so funny, yet sadly this is the reality of the situation we are now in. don't you just love our so-called democracy?

  • 0:43 jesus christ its like someone slapped a horse head on a human body.

  • this is not real people!!! you comment as if its real lol. dont say you knew that really!!! you suckers!!

  • @videogangstar

    LOL. If you know anything about how this country operates you'll realize the comedy skit hits pretty friggin close to reality.

  • i love how they point this out

  • "Shadowy Masters" "This Country is BASED upon The Fantasy that thee government is the Voice of the people" "Cloked masters" "illusion of democracy" "Staged Assassination"... and people still say that Secrect Socities like Illuminati are just a made up story or that they have become exstinced just because a few countrys banned "Secrect sociteys" pfft bull shit, that would just make it more fun for them. When you make laws Agenst guns your not takeing them out of the hands of killers but defenders

  • Funny and sadly all too close to reality.

  • OMG, this is horrendous and it represents all that is wrong with America these days. It is so full of corruption and wrongness. This is why I'm voting for Ron Paul in 2012, he's really the only one who can right this ship.

  • hah, "illusion of democracy" btw has anyone seen that movie "Swing Vote"? terrible movie, makes no sense.

  • Minions lol

  • The Onion is far more accurate than the real news.

  • Comment removed

  • All Americans everywhere needs to stand up and fight the shadowy overlords and puppet masters. Every one repeat after me STOP THE SHADOWY OVERLORDS AND PUPPET MASTERS!!! I am ready for war against these invisible tyrants.

  • "pretending to count votes" haha

  • 66 people have not stopped watching FOX news since 9/11

  • lol " researchers say they have found a cure for awakeness" hahahhahaha, funny shit now we can all go back to sleep.... go back to sleep sheep ppl

  • They just let us vote to make us think we still have rights so we won't riot and try and overturn this crap they ar feeding us... Our voice hasn't been heard in quite some years now. All you have to do is look at Bush Jr. I mean really 2 terms as president. All he did was stay on vacation untill 9/11 and was dumb as they come. They don't want mutiny on their hands so we get to vote.

  • King-makers deal!! LOL!!!!

  • It's so true....

  • The best part starts @ 2m19s .

  • Democracy = 51% will decide what 49% must do.

  • This should have come out in 2010.

  • CLASSIC!

  • this is genious.

  • safeguard the illusion of democracy hahahaha lol

  • hhahahaha we will continue to see what we'v always seen on electon night we will pretend to count votes etc lol

  • Shame on them for spoiling the suprise! They better keep their mouths shut about the 2012 election. I like to think voting matters.

  • Cure for awakeness.. Hahahaha

  • I always write in Monty Brewster and vote "D" None of the above but it is always the only vote once again.

  • @flyhi4ever that's the point, it's supposed to be funny

  • this is fake as hell #1 mccain didnt win and #2 this is the same news channel that said justin beiber was really a 51 year old pedo!! wtf!?

  • @flyhi4ever Wow, really! You JUST figured it out.

  • @TheSuperImmortalKing no.....my comment was for those who were taking this seriously.....some folks get all touchy about it

  • @flyhi4ever .....thats what The Onion is....its a parody news station that plays off comedic satire to make fun of todays media....

  • It's funny because Obama is president

  • That does not rule out a staged assassination after the president has been placed in office?

  • Safeguard the illusion of democracy?

  • in todays fucked up world........ the only place where the truth can be found is in comedy. ........... rule of thumb......... whatever they tell you....... the opposite is usually true

  • 0:01 vote up so people can skip the add

  • Sadly, this is the most realistic video I've ever seen the Onion produce...

  • damn this bummed me out =(

  • good they made a surprise

  • Hillary did make 2 veiled threats on Obama's life after she was told that she would not be winning the nomination.

    watch?v=E0QAewVrR28#t=1m24s

    Truth... the best comedy.

  • and I thought they only reported satirically about fake news. apparently not.

  • lol im a back country lumberjack so excuse me if you will but is this serious or just taking the piss ?

  • The cure for awakeness is 24-hour political "coverage" on TV. Not that you'd need anywhere near the recommended 24-hour dose, mind you.

  • LMFAO

  • @666JESUSWILLBURN666 Satan Worshiper I mean seriously 666JESUSWILLBURN666 well 666YOUWILLBURN666

  • @Rejistania Dun wanna get sued?

  • "and she'll act surprise"

  • I always wanna hear the up-coming stories too.

  • This ONION is the BEST farce on media sources!!!

  • Lmfao! "She Will Act Surprised"

  • Now we know why Obama became president. The puppet masters changed the result to surprise us.

  • "Hillary will give up when she is supposed to and she will act suprised"HA HA HOOOOOHA HA ha LOL!!!

  • "A cure for awake-ness"

    It's about time! I've been waiting for or shadowy puppet masters to release the cure for ages now!

  • Dammit. I need that cure for awakeness.

  • america needs partys and tax like britian, dumbasses

  • this country is based on fantasy

  • He was going to get my meaningless vote anyways. loool

  • bush blew up twin towers, and yes, the election was rigged

  • LOL GO ONION!!!

  • It's funny because he didn't win.

  • A cure for awakeness. Let me guess - religion?

  • @kevinscales :\

  • Hilary Clinton will not give up just because she lost the election. She will give up when she is supposed to: on election day! She'll act surprised...

  • someone at Diebold payed dearly for this mistake

  • funny because it's true :p

  • lol Shadowy over-lords

  • '...and she'll act surprised' lmao

  • its funny because there are so many idiots that think this is true.

  • Yep! I just found this posted in a forum by someone who thought it was indeed true. LOL

  • @liber8me The illusion of democracy is real to me!

  • LOL at ticker

    One-man band loses drummer in car accident.

  • I vote so that I'll think that I have control and people can use what I think to manipulate me later and to create a mask for whatever leader ends up in whatever position.

  • "oh I take it that's a hint"

    haha lol nice

  • The Onion's the best!

  • this is one of the best onion vid evah!!! so fcuking brilliant :P

  • this can't be true

  • @SmrutiR seriously?

  • @DualShooter  just Joking, Can I, If you permit?

  • It's usually referred to as 'trollin' :\

  • Too funny,

    "Apologize to our shadowy puppet masters" ha one of the best line I've heard in a long time.

    "I can't even vote in this shame election..." haha

    I only wish this did not have some shred of truth (Kidding, I only wish Democracy was actually based on something other then popularity) :D

  • Lol, "...we hope they will have mercy."

  • @Theparableof0 Good point though i'd rather wish popularity was based on something other than ostensible lies, spin and subterfuge

  • @Theparableof0 I only wish people that had the capability of using the language properly and having a required IQ level were allowed to vote.

  • @lostcause31 you mean people who agree with you?

  • @MRpopTARTSareYUMMY Unfortunately there are plenty of religious conservatives that both disagree and are capable of the things i stated.

  • @lostcause31 Nice

  • @lostcause31 - That would be fine with me, since you have just revealed that you lack the capability of using the language properly, and your ignorance of our political system leads me to doubt that you have "a required IQ level." So you're okay with not being allowed to vote?

  • @OldDunc Were I incapable of passing such a test (which I HIGHLY doubt since I was in full AP courses in HS) that would be fine with me. Also this is a youtube comment section not a forum, not using proper punctuation really isn't such a large deal hate to break it to you.

  • @Theparableof0 sham not shame

  • Satire at it's finest!!

  • «If we cant trust our shadowy overlords of keeping a secret what is the purpose of voting in a puppet democracy»

    I wonder too...

    It's supposed to be a joke, but they hit pretty close to the truth with this one....

  • Yeah, because obviously the US government is an evil aristocracy who does everything it can to stay in power, and no-one ever noticed.

    *rolls eyes*

  • it's funny watching idiots fight on youtube

  • stop arguing and enjoy the video

  • MrQuickwit09 & rubino83 are sados.

  • 0:26

    Well that thankfully never happened

  • The illusion of democracy....that says it all.

  • Pretty much, Our cloaked masters know what they are doing behind the scenes though, I mean look at the Iraq war, we stole all of Iraq's oil supply haha and got away with it, and we own more nukes than anyone else so honestly... it feels pretty good being an American doesn't it?

  • stole iraqs oil supply? so where is this oil?

  • Clearly that's why oil prices have gone up so much. Idiotic Americans like CrankIt are the reason your country is so screwed economically.

  • Y'know, I thought it wasn't possible, but I'm honestly starting to think the younger Republicans are actually dumber than the older ones. It makes sense, though. The young Republicans's "beliefs" are just aping mommy and daddy's rage at the world, anyway.

  • Sigh, another dumbass troll making ASSumptions about others. If you weren't too fucking stupid, I would explain.

  • Stop talking, joyless conservative dullard. If anyone cared about your opinions, you wouldn't HAVE to shout them from the rooftops in completely irrelevant situations. Seditious traitor, move to China if you hate America so much.

  • Obviously YOU care or else you wouldnt be trolling websites to post on. Slither along troll boy. Traitor? HA pot calling the kettle black if I've ever seen it.

  • Comment removed

  • Nope, still don't care.

    *yawn* You're boring me, whining mini-conservative. Say something that's not in the "Overused Con Phrasebook" or go somewhere else.

    As I said, if anyone cared what you had to say, you wouldn't have to force it down people's throats in situations where they are irrelevant.

    Go sit in the corner until you've thought about what you've done. Of course, "thinking" isn't exactly what you guys are about, so how about you just get out of my country.

  • oh please do tell, what am I forcing down anyone's throat there troll kiddo?

    Lets see... I've been to Iraq four times for my country... what have you done? I have EARNED my right to be here. I'm not some queer sitting around expecting handouts like you.

    but then again, you are the same retard that thought I was a republican. keep striking out troll boy.

  • Oh please, you dullwitted little traitor. Now you're just playing dick-measuring games (which you connies always seem to revert to). Nobody believes you. Don't be a fool. Your baseless opinions make you look enough of one.

    Yet again, allow me to repeat myself so you can understand: Amateur trolling like yours on youtube is a dime a dozen. Say something i-n-t-e-r-e-s-t-i-n-g. Step it up or go back to the little leagues on IMDb.

  • ahh, cute... you've completely gone away from the argument to attack me because you cannot find fault in anything I've said. You've also turned the troll comment back on me... what are you, like 3? I'm not the one going from video to video attacking people (hence the troll title I've given you)

    You've struck out on everything you've said. Do you ever get tired of being wrong? Slither along troll boy.

  • Is it just not registering? (It's certainly likely)

    I said to NOT use the "Overused Con Phrasebook".

    Again, nobody's fooled by your amateur nonsense, and incidentally, nobody's fooled by the idea you might have come to your political beliefs through intelligent thought and deliberation.

    Your hatred of America is clear enough, so you're free to sit down and quit whining. It's played out, and you're just not good at it.

  • And you wonder why noone believes your army-man fantasies. Anyone country that had standards that lax would fall within the year.

  • i dont get it how come this wasnt all over the news?? illuminati hard at work!!! its all rigged folks!!!1

  • It is funy that people believe talk about fraud voting or fraud in general degrades the republican side. Why do people think that? That says more about republicans than the video, which never even mentions republicans or democrats.

  • hahahaaa. so true of american political system. voting is so unworkable in america

  • O my God... the assassination line got me laughing hysterically.

  • "Sweden and Finland conclude yet another successful round of peace talks"

    Gold

  • Wow, our shadowy overlords sure are slipping up lately. They need to pick up the slack or else Cthulu will fire them.

  • Win

  • I never even heard of this diebold company

  • ಠ_ಠ

  • "...and she'll act suprised!"

  • funny how this liberal crap was wrong... too bad.

  • It not liberal. Just crap. Hilarious crap. Because it's a comedy show. Thanks for watching the Onion though, continue on and see if you think this is real news with stories like "Police say school shooter had history of school shootings" and "Gays to precious to risk in combat" or "Pretend you give a shit about the election."

  • Wow, you are stupid enough to believe that I thought this was real? Thats what happens when you ASSume things. How far back did you have to scroll through comments to find mine anyway? stupid troll. Something can be fake but liberal, idiot. slither along

  • It was actually on the top of the comments section. The video doesn't get many comments. Either way, it's not liberal nor conservative because it's satire. Please tell me how this somehow supports the liberal side or degrades the conservative side.

    I think the shadowy overlords part would tip you off the Onion thinks both parties are a fucking joke waiting to be made into a fucking joke. It's funny how your liberal crap was wrong about this liberal crap.

  • hmm satire (which this video obviously is) can be liberal. you are either very young or very stupid. If you notice the other videos, they make fun of bush, but how many make fun of obama? none... hmm wonder why.

  • /watch?v=i9k_nAbsNfI

    They've had 8 years to make fun of Bush. They've had less than one for Obama. I know the Onion. Don't worry, they'll rag on everyone and everything if it's even slightly funny.

    Forward that video to 1:50 and read the quote.

  • And yet they've ragged on bush the entire time. The only obama videos they have, they seem to be elevating his status, imagine that.

  • To quote the information box at 1:50

    "Obama shutting himself off from people who 'remind him of what a fraud he is'"

    They also call Obama's supporters delusional, and after his running they are living pathetic worthless lives.

    /watch?v=i9k_nAbsNfI

    What the fuck? Do you want them to burn an effigy, or give a sorry you lost the presidency blow-job to the republicans?

  • yep pretty much... i'm an independent by the way. Would much rather see balance in the media is all

  • I'd like to see news in the news media. and that is why the Onion exists.

  • Really? Because to me, CNN/MSNBC/CBS/etc are all pro-Obama.

  • Lots of Republicans are Independents. Stop being an embarassment to your country.

  • Idiot, you can't be a republican and an independent. Take me for example; I used to be a Republican but now I'm an independent. Stop smoking crack.

  • Comment removed

  • This country is based on the fantasy that the government is the voice of the people :D

  • Shadowy puppet masters lol

  • Government +free influence of intrestgroups & lobbyism = corruption.

    Why shouldnt democracy be uphold by forcing equal rights to the officials for the people & common interests vs the global companies and consorts?

  • dude...it's a video of the onion

  • You do understand you're commenting on a spoof video, right?

  • You do realise they are making fun of the real world? (Which is what my comment is about, if you read it..?)

  • safeguard the illusion of democracy for all Americans....lolz

  • Scientists have found a cure for awakness!!!! Haha!!!? It's called a coma!
