I have come to believe this, but, hey, at least the lesser evil (at this point, the Democrats) is less batshit insane than the Republicans. I'm still holding out for the possibility that something changes, besides the Dems becoming more wishy-washy and the Republicans getting more batshit insane, and if it takes a zombie apocalypse to create a new political climate, so be it:

If only I knew how to make one of those images I'd make one with a split. On the left would be the group of current right-wing candidates. On the right would be a group of zombies turning and actually running away after realizing what the people on the left are.
The caption below would be "Even zombies have standards."
Theists changing my derision of religion is equivilent to pissing into the wind and expecting not to get wet.

What our foreign friends need to understand is that we need a president who will protect people from these despicable republican pricks by vetoing the stupid shit that comes out of their mouths.

Quote:House Republicans have announced plans to cut heating subsidies for the poor, job training and President Barack Obama's "Race to the Top" program providing grants to better-performing schools, as they unveil a massive spending bill for labor, health and education programs.
The controversial GOP measure also seeks to block implementation of Obama's signature health care law, cut off National Public Radio from federal grants and reduce eligibility for Pell Grants to low-income college students.
All this to fund tax cuts for billionaires.
I guess the plan is that grannie won't need health care if she freezes to death in her fucking apartment.

He also wants to remove us completely from foreign wars & legalize most drugs. I can get behind those things. I wouldn't be too worried about him trying to outlaw abortion since he'd have to overturn a SCOTUS privacy-based legal decision to do so.
That being said, I'll probably vote Green (or write-in someone) since I'm disgusted with all the rest.

He also wants to let fucking corporate cocksuckers run rampant over the landscape stealing everything that isn't nailed down while, at the same time, destroying any sort of social safety net for anyone who isn't rich enough to be on his fucking radar screen.
The guy is a pure scumbag. The REASON the republicans hate him is because he argues against the warfare that they use to distract people from the fucking they are getting from the upper 1%.
That, in and of itself, is no reason to let him and his "invisible hand of the market" shit get anywhere near the white house.

If I would vote in an American election, I would probably vote for the candidate which would benefit my home country the most, which are generally, republicans. Democrats...Eh, I like their stance on secularity, but I'm not really down with the ideals of liberalism.

I don't see them squirm anywhere. In fact, if you'd look at the people who finance their elections, you'd see many, white, rich and christian men at work.

I live in the southeastern United States, buddy. Obama makes these fuckers squirm like nothing else, around here. It's enjoyable.

How exactly does he do that? He throws them in jail? Takes away their assets? Confiscates their property?
What?
The only thing he might do is to bring about a higher tax rate.
And I don't think that would make him very popular, so why should he?

All he has to do is be a nigger in their white house. That's enough. They've been howling for 3 years because of it.
You obviously don't know many rich, white, xtians.
