I love how this video plays Mr. Rogers theme music

[catjwin]

It's not actually Mr. Rogers, but I guess it's pretty similar.

Obviously I'm not advocating child labor-- the video is fictional and not literal.

And as much as I do like the video, I'm a little perplexed why you make the point that this is video is "specifically not pro-Obama." I think Barack Obama is the finest candidate the Democratic Party has nominated in my lifetime. How can you call yourself a solid Democrat & not give your full support of the presidential nominee? I do like the video a lot though.

[catjwin]

Please don't mis-quote me. My comment above reads "this video is not specifically pro-Obama." What I meant by this is that it is pro-Democrats and the Democratic platform in general, rather than about the policies and ideologies of any specific candidate (though McCain is mentioned... oops.) Obama has my full support-- I voted and caucused for him here in Texas. You misunderstood my remarks.

(Though I should point out that it's perfectly fine to support the Democratic cause and still disagree with the agent of action or candidate. For example, you can love a restaurant and dislike the manager... but as long as you still eat there, who cares? Unification involves putting aside differences, not abandoning personal beliefs.)

I'm glad you liked the video.

Hell dems are better than the reps. All they care about are arrogant businessmen and Fat Fundies. If your not one of them, they consider you insuperior.

@Jasonthegaiface That is not Republican ideology whatsoever. Most republicans these days are really democrats, and the democrats are really communist. Most of the true conservatives have moved away from the Republican party and support smaller libertarian parties. However, they still have fundamental Republican ideology.

[Jasonthegaiface]

I'm a Republican, because all I care about is money for myself, pretending I want a small government but support killing people in other countries, belieiving that corporations although the destroy the underclass should be respected and we should all be consumers and believe in a fairy god and a 100 year old peice of paper that supports gun violence and slavery.

The Democrats and Republicans both have failed America and will ruin this country.

JESSE VENTURA for President 2012 !!!

I'm a Democrat, because I love mugging my generation, wasting money on pork barrel spending and government projects, and killing babies while undermining the basis of America.

Oh, so just because you worked hard, you can help out just a little bit? You can't show generosity and actually do something? Even working hard, don't be greedy, that just makes you even worse.

[JScrolls523]

I don't understand how anyone can say this was a good video. A video in the least should have sometime of substance. And for a fact, this one lacked any substance, at all.
