Apparently a very sensible woman, which is why she has no chance in 'Merican politics.
She's the American Green Party candidate. It's the same Green Party that's popular in Germany.

The Greenies were pretty popular in 2000, but were viewed as being largely responsible for W ending up in office so they have decreased in popularity.

Still can't believe I got Green party and Libertarian being so close together.

I am aware thank you :) I would probably vote Die Grünen [or more likely FDP] if I were German.

Barack Obama 78%
Gary Johnson 77%

Virgil Goode lol%

Surprised I got 77% with a Libertarian candidate. Then again I only scored 36% with the party.

I wonder if Romney is still okay with disbanding FEMA.
Actually, I knew quite a few folks who worked for FEMA. Many of them ex-American Red Cross Disaster Services volunteers. All around cool people. I've got little against FEMA's existence, but it could always be more efficient.

He's literally the Molinaro of politics.
So you're saying he'd be big in Germany?

Problem is, politics affects all of our lives.
Politics isn't something you can bury your head in the sand on. Politics is us. We are politics. Anybody who thinks otherwise is in denial.

Especially if you have a government where the citizens can actually get involved in it. Essentially, we are the government. Stop passing the buck and start blaming yourself.

You've got the politicians you deserve.

Efficiency is always an issue when running a completely reactionary department. I think the notion of disbanding FEMA and distributing the relief money to the states is incredibly naive.

But that's a lot of conservatives' answers to everything. Why stop with states? Why not just cut checks to each individual for $14.35 and we can decide ourselves? That should be even better, right? Just think of the amazing coordinated response we'd have to disasters in that case.

Idiots.

Actually, I am reading an article in the latest issue of The New Yorker that confirms something I've suspected all along: "The Voter-Fraud Myth":
http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2012/10/29/121029fa_fact_mayer

I've noticed how vote-fraud measures have creeped on every ballot in so many states, and it's given me the alarming impression that some rash, coordinated conspiracy assault is on the voting system all of a sudden. I smelled bullcrap, and sure enough that's what some are saying.

Personally, I do find it a bit idiotic that there are people in this country with supposedly no ID whatsoever. That's brain-dead. But what bothers me is a recurring pattern in politics lately: if you can't beat them, presume conspiracy. Whether that's Obama's birth certificate or voting fraud or whatnot.

There's a cognitive dissonance in US politics where a lot people would rather believe a made-up fantasy of conspiracy than accept that their opinions or candidates aren't in the favorable majority.
