Campaign ads
Is it just me or do the ads now just focus on the negative of the oppenent rather than the positive of the candidate?
I mean come on take
Obama ad:
JOHN MCCAIN DOESN'T UNDERSTAND!!!!!
Mccain ad
OBAMA IS ELUSIVE ON ACCOUNTABILITY!!!
Is it just me or should they focus on why you should vote for them rather than why you shouldn't vote for their oppenent?

Crap, I accidently posted the Obama ad twice and can't seem to edit:
Here's the Mccain one:
It goes with my hypothesis that fly-over America can stomach any hypocrisy if their side is always frothing with hatred, and they get a stimulus check for a yearly rhinestones-and-mayonnaise spree at Wal-Mart. The dems are precarious because they have to try to win over some of the grunting, inbred beasts while maintaining their foundation of guilty liberal do-gooders and bandana-wearing stencil makers.
Thanks Obama, who insisted children are alerted to the danger of strangers (sex related education). McCain is a dirty fucking lying evil piece of devil shit .... I hate McCain ....

Beware! McCain-Palin are CYLONS!!!!
This has been a sarcastic parody. Had it been a real parody, actual politicians would be involved. This is only a sarcastic parody.
We return you now to your previously aired obnoxious programs.
Thanks, Christopher.

Wouldn't it be great if all candidates did was provide a clear platform, a list of stances on issues and policies, and answered direct questions about thier politics?
But, that would require folks to read through the information and form opinions on thier own. It's so much easier to be told in a 30 to 45 second spot who you like and who you don't like. An emotional response takes no real effort at all.
Isn't it fun to think what a large percentage of folks make thier voting decision based on TV ads?
"Anyone can repress a woman, but you need 'dictated' scriptures to feel you're really right in repressing her. In the same way, homophobes thrive everywhere. But you must feel you've got scripture on your side to come up with the tedious 'Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve' style arguments instead of just recognising that some people are different." - Douglas Murray
i would love to know what change McCain is bringing. he has said that he will bring change but never said what the change would be. hmmm
I don't mind when they attack each other on legitimate issues.
That reminds me of those late night infomercials where they talk about starting up your own internet business, but, they never tell you what they sell on those internet businesses.
"I made 50 thousand dollars last month from my internet business!" What the heck did you sell????? They never say.
... whats the 1 thing on the internet that actually makes money

One of my biggest regrets in life is that I didn't get in on the ground floor of internet porn.
Anyway, yeah... I don't watch political ads. It's a waste of 30 seconds of my life, and I won't gain any useful information about either candidate.

Do you have a copyright on this? Because if not, you need to make haste to get it done. It's fucking hilarious.
god -- I tried you on for size.... you were a little long in the crotch, loose in the waist, short in the length and you made my butt look extra flat. I had to take you back for an exchange.
i was giving obama the benefit of doubt. but after the bullshit lieberman pulled with youtube there goes my vote. going libertrian all the way now.
I guess I'm confused.
What did Lieberman do and what did it have to do with Obama?
I must have missed something.
Hey El Gato, voting liberal 3rd party, UNLESS they have a chance to win, is like handing your vote to your most disliked right wing candidate, and is a big part of why Gore lost to Bush.
Untill the system is fixed to include a 1, 2, 3rd choice, where your 1st choice loser is re-counted towards your 2nd choice, etc, it's basiclly a wasted protest vote in our current system. Heck, I'd most always vote 3rd party, but I know not to. Fix the system, get the "fix" on the ballet.
Atheism Books.
It punishes the democratic party for not fielding a candidate that you can stomach. The point is to make the dems say "Oh shit, 3rd parties are making us lose to the republicans, we had better start appeasing these third party voters to get them on our side." Or if not, then they will be punished with 4 to 8 years of McCain/Palin. Their choice.
So long as the dems are anti-gun rights, I am anti-dem. I hope they suffer under McCain enough to come to their senses. I know that they won't, but it is a private dream of mine. I hate to be a one issue voter, but the dems try so hard to rob away my ability to legally defend myself that I feel they force me to be this way. Meh, that's politics.
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."

Lieberman is trying to censor youtube on it's content and pressuring goggle to block certain videos.
Lieberman is an extension of Obama. The whole democrated party is throwing away our civil liberities.
What a dream that would be. I think you are describing political heaven.

Yeah Jorm, I realize that. I only type the essense of my thoughts. Like I said, let's fix the system. I'm against punishment in general .... ( and there's another lenghly essay I'm not going to type ) LOL. Yeah, fucking politicians, generally speaking that is. "Power to People" ..... so HOW??? No more fear!

Voting for a 3rd party is an act of civil disobedience. Your make a statement that either party is addressing the real issues. I know the libertarian party won't win this election but when the records show that 5-9% of voters selected a 3rd party that's a statement.
Nader didn't make Gore lose...Gore and the democratic party did. For not having the balls to confront the GOP. It's been 4 years now since I exclusively vote Libertarian. Let me tell you Libertarians are the only ones with enough courage and knowledge of our own constitution to ridicule and confront the GOP. Only reason I was considering Obama was because he does have logic and passion but in the end he is just complacent.
What if I were to say that I think the only reason you are considering Obama is because he isn't Bob Barr?
Bob Barr is to libertarian as Kent Hovind is to science.

Well you're right to some extent. I'm not fond of Bob Barr in general considering he is a recent born again Libertarian. If Ron Paul would have just gone Libertarian on the ticket then I would'nt have even considered Obama.
El Gato, YES, revolution, but NO, your method is wrong, and unproductive, and worse, it gives more power to OUR enemy. Reform the system logically.
Atheism Books.
No I'm not. You know Barr is still Pro-Life. That is his right on a personal level but he should express those thoughts to himself plus his past antics as a republician are disturbing.
Seriously, of all the people to pick, they selected Bob Barr. I don't even consider him a libertarian. Didn't he try and get pagan religious practices banned from the military? And he co-sponsored the defense of marriage act. What a turd candidate. Not quite as much of a turd as Obama or McCain though. Man I miss Ron Paul. I wish him the best of luck in trying to turn the republicans libertarian, but he'll probably fail. We could sure use him in the libertarian party though. But I understand his plan of running as a republican to get into office and national debates.

El Gato, I think (?) our goals are basically the same. Check out this thread,

What do libertarians think of health insurance companies who deny coverage or demand high co-pays?

I was hoping Wayne Allyn Root would win the nomination after seeing him in the LP debates.
Root, at a glance, sounds like an improvement to me, so fix the problem, the stupid 2 party system. Voting 3rd party is to often disastrous.
Vote Nader, get Bush ??? That sucks. We for change are getting reamed .... Use the law, fix the system ....
