John McCain for President is pretty much shambolic in my opinion. If I wanted to piss people off, I would make a case that John McCain should not be allowed to be President because he's probably mentally unstable after spending time in his Hanoi Hilton.

Sure, McCain served the US Military with honor, but that doesn't make him have "good" judgement. 65% of people here believe that McCain is more suited to handle the Russia-Georgia conflict than Obama. :wth: I mean, the guy doesn't know the difference between Iran and Iraq, so what the fuck does he know about GEORGIA or ARMENIA? But yet we have the morons here putting so much stake into McCain's supposed foreign relations experience that it's corrupting the whole election and becoming one of the biggest farces I've ever seen.

Sometimes I question myself saying, "why do I waste time voting anyway?" My vote is just cancelled out by thousands of other idiots out there, so what's the point? If you fools want to run this country into the ground, whatever.

If McCain wins this election I may not bother voting again. No point.

I got this email yesterday, and it pretty much sums up your candidate-

My fellow Americans:

As your future President I want to thank my supporters, for your mindless support of me, despite my complete lack of any legislative achievement, my pastor's relations with Louis Farrakhan and Libyan dictator Moamar Quadafi, or my blatantly leftist voting record while I present myself as some sort of bi-partisan agent of change. (Thank you, too, for recognizing that my vast experience of 143 days in the Senate uniquely qualifies me to be your President.)

I also like how my supporters claim my youthful drug use and criminal behavior somehow qualifies me for the Presidency after 8 years of claiming Bush's youthful drinking disqualifies him. Your hypocrisy is a beacon of hope shining over a sea of political posing.

I would also like to thank the Kennedy's for coming out in support of me. There's a lot of glamour behind the Kennedy name, even though JFK started the Vietnam War, his brother Robert illegally wiretapped Martin Luther King, Jr. and Teddy killed a female employee with whom he was having an extra marital affair and who was pregnant with his child. And I'm not going anywhere near the cousins, both literally and figuratively. And I'd like to thank Oprah Winfrey for her support. Her love of meaningless empty platitudes will be the force that propels me to the White House.

Americans should vote for me, not because of my lack of experience or achievement , but because I make people feel good. Voting for me causes some white folk to feel relieved of their imagined, racist guilt. I say things that sound meaningful, but don't really mean anything because Americans are tired of things having meaning. If things have meaning, then that means you have to think about them.

Americans are tired of thinking. It's time to shut down the brain, and open up the heart. So when you go to vote, remember don't think, just do. And do it for me.

Thank You.
Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.

Well Vinni, all this politics stuff is just a facade anyway. This country is going to die someday just as any other superpower in history. That day will be pretty horrendous for us but we have had it coming for a long time, I'm afraid.

Funny how our government set up those missile sites in Poland, strategically located close to Russia and also far enough from Iran so their missiles couldn't strike the place.

The last time some shit like tis happened, in Cuba, we were on the brink of obliteration.

This real news site is very good.

I think the only confusion is what those missile sites in Poland actually could contain. We don't know for sure if it's for defense or for strike or counterstrike. The info is classified.

Come on, Vinni. You know this is nonsense. Iran doesn't have the capability to strike Moscow and even if they did, why would we place a missile dock in Poland instead of Southern Russia, or close to Georgia? The most logical place for missile interception against Iranian missiles flying towards Russia is probably South Ossetia.

The Russians are smarter than this stuff and that's why they oppose this Poland missile site. They know that we could be packing anything from Postcards to Nuclear Weapons in those missiles and they are right to oppose this crap, just like we did about 45 years ago.

Obama picks Joe Biden as his VP running mate. Not unexpected whatsoever, I like the guy (if it really matters), and he'll take on the cunt McCain and his running mate pretty well.

He's a Senator from Delaware, tried to run for President but got easily squashed by Hillary and Obama. The guy has loads of "foreign relation" experience, so it's obvious this VP pick is just implemented to quell fears regarding Obama's suppsoed ignorance about the rest of the world. Pure politics at its best.

This stuff just makes me become disheartened with our whole political process. Politicians just doing whatever they can to get elected. Whatever the outcome, this country is fucked up. I've come to the point where I believe more in the Illuminati with every passing day because people are stupid enough to let it happen.

Osman by the way, do you think the Illuminati is potentially for real?

The Bavarian Illuminati was real, the rest, well...Illuminati is by far one of the most used and most general words ever. Nothing distinctive about it, besides being mostly known for being used in fiction, every bored hacks little shindig of losers calls themselves the Illuminati stuff or that, glorified fondue parties. Seriously, everyone for 2 centuries has used the term in various wise.

The only conspiracy I care about, though its not much of a conspiracy, just not too much talked about reality, is that the American Military industry/complex rules the world as they see fit. Someone should have listen to dear ol Eisenhower when he said (after releasing what he has done) leash that puppy before it turns into Cerberus ;)
