Politics - 21 October 2007

"I don't want to be president. I want to run for president. There's a difference," the host of Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report" said in a television interview.


"I'm far realer than Sam Brownback, let me put it that way," he told NBC's "Meet the Press" in a reference to Republican Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas, who dropped out of the 2008 White House race on Friday.

I live in Canada...but I would vote for him if I could. I believe he is a Texan, so he might have leverage there, lol. If only Jon Stewart was his Vice President, lol.

I have seen death threats on here towards the President. I just dont understand this. Even if you disagree with his policies it isnt like they are in office for life. Why such hatred?

I like cookies, NOT vegetables. Yet they force me to eat veggies,


then they wonder why there is violence in the world. Forcing people to do things against their will CAUSES it.

I mean one hellacious, knee-walking, hugging the marble maiden, tie one on, godawful, drunken brawl/party over a weekend, hedonistic, slobering, puke in the punch bowl mess, to get some things hashed out. I don't think we could end up any worse than what we got now. Maybe we could get ol' Hugh Hefner to host the damn thing. Just get 'em all together and turn 'em lose. What the hell? your thoughts?

I believe Jimmy Carter is a war criminal because Jimmy Carter is who caused worldwide Islamic terrorism to proliferate around the globe . Jimmy Carter undermined the shah of Iran . Jimmy Carter encouraged [ Ayatollah Ruhollah ] Khomeini to come back from exile in Paris and as a result Khomeini spread his Islamic poison around the globe . Jimmy Carter { to put it simply } is a war criminal and should be tried in the International court of Law .

Anyone agree ?

that they will finally realize that hateful smear attacks and lying is not the way to win over the hearts and minds of Americans? Or will they continue their hate-filled smear campaigns for 4-8 more years, thereby further alienating themselves from rational, clear thinking Americans?

Will Bush's disastrous presidency eventually lead to the end of the Republican party in the U.S.? The two major parties have not existed through the entire history of the United States--what's to say they are fixed as they are? A number of traditional conservatives, moderate-liberal Republicans and Libertarians feel that the party has been hijacked by the Religious Right. Any sense that there may be a reconfiguration of the parties and that Bush's legacy may ultimately trigger it?

In fact, all of the Republican candidates (with the exception of the Timothy Leary double) consistently acknowledge the religious extraction of America's enemies. So why do the Democratic hopefuls avoid a similar designation when asked about the threat our nation is confronted with?

Are they courting the vote of terrorist sympathizers?

They always acuse Americans of trying to "ram Christianity down their throats". They say 9/11 was planned by Americans and that terrorists don't exist.
Do they have to have something right in front of them before they can believe that it exists? Are they just two dimensional thinkers?
...just curious LOL

Unless say, you can name 3 of the policies of the person who you're voting for?

Wouldn't this be better for the country as a whole? If every voter were to take a standardized test. Even if it meant a couple million people lost the right to vote, with more informed straight-thinking voters surely you would see the truely best candidate win, as opposed to the prettiest/most famous, most 'hyped-up', etc, right?

You get people voting for the stupidest reasons (I.e. There will be women who will vote for Hilary solely because she's a woman, and men who will avoid voting for her because she's a woman), and I think things just shouldn't be that way for a productive society meaning to go forward.

If you were below the IQ level and still really wish to vote, then it's simple- just learn & remember 3 or so of their policies to recall when you go for the vote. You could perhaps select them from a multiple choice sheet or something to that effect.

I know some of us acknowledge it and complain a lot about it but Do we have a choice? Looks like no matter what continent you live on they are eventually going to be unions. The US is actually behind in the planning. Thats why there's so much upheaval in the world right now. There will eventually be 4 main continents. The EuropeanU, the AsianU, the AfricanU and the NorthAmericanU. This is too make it easier to implement a one-world government. I really don't see how the "little" people will make a dent in it. Even electing Ron Paul might slow it down but they won't give up. We are going to have to become the offensive side and keep voting their neo-con butts out of the government, but it will take a majority of informed voters to do it from now on and that goes for the whole world. For example the EU has been in place for several years now and already threatens our economy. If we have say 3 other currencies outnumbering ours we won't have a chance of surviving the imminent collapse of our economy and society as we know it. We're feeling the heat already from the Asian and European markets. I don't know who could even organize such a task of taking down the world-wide global elite but I do know that when the majority catch on to whats really going on it will probably be too late. Might as well sit back and enjoy the show.

I know that most students during the Vietnam war were not a part of the SDS, but still--the lack of support and knowledge of politics is overwhelming! Discard the draft, and now no one knows what is going on! I'm not for the draft at all, but I don't understand why the younger generations can't be committed to learning about their country?
