George Bush is too stupid to be president.

This man is too smart to be president.

I have the worst feeling that the Amerikan sheeple will demand something of intermediate intelligence to lead them.

4 /4

From Obama’s speech in San Francisco:

"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them," he said.

"And it's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations,"

3 /4

From Obama’s Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the {Muslims} should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.' page 261.

2 /4

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: ; 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father:

I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela.'

1 /4 Obama’s Anti-American sentiment.

.

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating> myself to whites.'

.

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race.'

.

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'

yes ive read that.

[KoroOutbreak]

Conversely, if you are a third party person, and you make your vote heard, you are explicitly putting third party pressure on a two party system. The goal could eventually be to "legislate" a third party and break some of the barriers they face. As it is now, practically the only third party representation comes from people who declare independence AFTER they get elected as a Democrat or Republican.

[YourOasis97]

true, but the way things are, many more ppl in the thousands perhaps even millions this yr are considering a third party. personally, i might as well vote for no party at all. just congress, and the proposals.

[KoroOutbreak]

I appreciate third parties, I really do, but a third party is not the panacea that everybody thinks. It would be nice to have libertarians and greens in the Congress, as it would expand the spectrum of political discourse. Right now, there is more to worry about. Unfortunately, the way our government works it is set to simply condemn third parties to powerlessness. Could a dozen elected libertarians ever secure a seat on a major Congressional committee? Not likely.

[YourOasis97]

ah yes, the typical "if u dont vote for this 1, your clearly of the opposing side." -__- wake up, theres more than 2 parties ya know. just cause the media and society force down on our throats that we have to vote for either one or the other doesnt mean i have to and that thats all there is and that if we dont, were done for. all a load of BS. you vote for who u want or dont vote at all. simple as that.
