The Election

I'm voting for neither.

no Ron Paul no care.

Exactly, Ron Paul was an awesome third party candidate and it's a shame that we are stuck with this dog and pony show they call our two party system.

Honestly I could care less who wins, Obama or Romney. Let's face it, they are both puppets to the lobbyists for Big-Oil, Big-Pharma, The Military/Prison Systems and Wall Street. Neither can bring about change, especially when the opposing side halts any progress through congress.

What people should vote on is their local propositions and bond measures, those have a direct effect on your rights based on where you live.

And we will be remembered forever as "The Dumbest Generation" while generations of Americans shoulder our debts.
I am ashamed at what we have done to our children and their children.

Thought the dumbest generation was before that with bush, then bush again, bringing america to such debt. Guess the only way we could of gotten out of that debt would to tax us up the butt and lower minimum wage to $2 an hour. Or do magic like people expected obama to do.

I only voted for him because he will keep PBS KCET etc..
the other guy wanted to cut it out of the budget I watch some of the shows sometimes.

Undecided tell I though about that when I was in the voting booth

Looks like we will get the government that "we" deserve. At least now it looks like it will come to a much quicker end. R.I.P -USA.

If PBS is making a quality product they should do fine on their own. In fact they do very well and only a small part of their budget is financed by tax payers. The government should quit picking what companies will fail and which will succeed. They don't need tax dollars. It disgusts me that tax dollars go to fund progressive propanda like some of the stuff on PBS and NPR. Not only will the government hang us but they require us to pay for the noose for them to do it. Then they tax you for being dead.

A wise man once said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. 2 billion dollars later we have the same cast of knuckleheads. Truely inspiring!

The american election always seemed like more of a populatity contest to me, than having any real focus on actual politics at all..

Yes, and that was bad enough. I live in California, and we have proven over and over that the "Tax the Rich and Give everyone else Free Stuff!" school of economics doesn't work but now we seem determined to prove it on a national level.
Very very sad.

Trickle-down economics doesn't work, period. The way to reinvigorate an economy is by giving spending power to the masses.

Wouldn't disagree with trickle-down but what the US does is NOT giving the spending power to the masses, what it does is tax and spend. And does it poorly at that. The idea is to tax less and spend less.. Giving the people their money and get the lazy off the public tit.

Nailed it, count the number of times policies are discussed or mentioned in this thread.

I'm not American but it seems like a good thing that Romney didn't get voted in.

Pro-Life, against gay marriage, wants to increase military spending, double guantanamo's size, for the death penalty etc.
