Obama ends the political era of staying quiet during your opponent's convention - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Ray-The-Sun;37434733]The 'republican spin machine' claimed that Obama was a terrorist simply because his middle name is "Hussein", who the fuck cares what they think?[/QUOTE] And the 'liberal spin machine' has called Romney a 'cultist' for being Mormon. Some of you guys are no better than /r/athiesm. The sooner you entertain alternate world views.. the sooner you can all grow up.

If it wasn't this, it would've just been something else.[/QUOTE] Different stories have different impacts on public opinion. Do you guys really think that if Obama decided to invade Iran, it would hold as much power for spin as a story about him not saying "under god" in the pledge of allegiance?

[QUOTE=DaysBefore;37434767]Absolute morons Aka Republican voters.[/QUOTE] Yes, I'm sure you're just a beacon of intelligence. Here's a hint, humans have an awful way of overestimating our relative values, especially our intelligence. Chances are you are no more intelligent than the average Republican voter.

[QUOTE=Strider*;37434756]If it was Romney, you'd all have pitchforks in your hand declaring your disgust for the awful ways of the GOP. It just amazes me how simple minded some people are into thinking that their party is filled with such angels and saints.[/QUOTE] Not really. With how the GOP has been in the past couple of years, interrupting people is quite tame.

[QUOTE=Nikota;37434814]Not really. With how the GOP has been in the past couple of years, interrupting people is quite tame.[/QUOTE] Both sides are pretty vicious. I mean who is the side trying to simplify issues and marginalize opposition by saying anyone who doesn't support their side is sexist or racist? Who are the ones who simplify issues to the point they call the opposition socialists and communists? It's sad, but the GOP does not have a monopoly on intellectual dishonesty.

Seriously. You're acting like the republican party is this shining example of freedom and morality.

Yeah okay MSNBC is going to go on at primetime and call Mormonism a cult. Where the fuck do you live?

This comment from Fox Nation sums up America's current political mindset: "It's them or us. I'm voting for us."

You all really can only view the world from one perspective. It's so antithetical to the development of civil discourse. There is such a heavy democratic bias on this forum that it's astounding. It's as if you all think that every Republican politician is a monster and that every Democrat is a saint.

Everything is done with the sole purpose of making the other side look worse, and spinning a web of lies and propaganda to ensure that your agenda passes through.

[QUOTE=thisispain;37434470]oh yeah the republican national convention basically hours of white people patting themselves on the backs for their "accomplishments" even though the republicans didn't really achieve anything except bother Obama.

[QUOTE=Nikota;37434849]Seriously. You're acting like the republican party is this shining example of freedom and morality.[/QUOTE] I've never once said anything about the Republican party. It wouldn't matter if this was between the Democratic party and another "liberal" party. My issue is with how some of you view the world. It's not as simple as you all make it out to be.

[QUOTE=Nikota;37434887]Not really? The north east is the most liberal dude.[/QUOTE] If you ignore Washington DC, we are easily in the top 2 most liberal.

[QUOTE=Nikota;37434887]Not really? The north east is the most liberal dude.[/QUOTE] Washington and Oregon are v liberal. If minimum wage is anything to go by, those two states have the highest in the country.

[QUOTE=Lazor;37434891]lol yeah we get it dude you buy into the "truth is in the middle" crap that the american media spit out[/QUOTE] No I don't. If anything my views concentrate around the economic far right. [editline]27th August 2012[/editline] The "ethical middle" is a logical fallacy.

[QUOTE=Strider*;37434909]No I don't. If anything my views concentrate around the economic far right.[/QUOTE] you mean the economic far wrong.

[QUOTE=Nikota;37434887]Not really? The north east is the most liberal dude.[/QUOTE] Are you sure? I live in the North-East and it's pretty conservative, not like Texas though.

[QUOTE=Lazor;37434891]lol yeah we get it dude you buy into the "truth is in the middle" crap that the american media spit out[/QUOTE] Nah, actually the truth lies outside of this realm. Democrats and Republicans are such fucking liars and have such shitty ideology that the truth doesn't even come close to this. They aren't equally bad, but they are both so god damn unpreferable that you might as well put them into the same category.

[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;37434932]you mean the economic far wrong.[/QUOTE] It depends on your values and belief on how the economy should be run. I won't sit here and try to claim that I know more about economics than all of you. But my stance on the economy is the result of formal education.
