So Americans, how do you guys feel about having Norman the Mormon running for president and do people in the U.S actually take this guy seriously? He was on the news today and I can't get my head around how probably a medium sized margin of America and in particular, the Republican Party, thought this guy was a good idea to have this guy as their front man. I mean the guy straps dogs to the top of cars! That's not a good precedent for running the most powerful country in the world. As America treats the U.K like it's dog does that mean you be strapping us atop an SUV? If so please stop, take a step back and don't do this! We don't want any extra breeze in our faces!
On the level though what do people think of this guy? I'm not particularly pro-Obama here either so this isn't coming from that perspective. I just find Norman the Mormon quite hard to get my head round and as you guys live with him I'm interested to here what you think.
I personally think you need Boris to run your country and I do believe we would be happy to rent him out to you so long as we can have him back once we get rid of Dave because we will need him then.

i have nfi who that is but we're screwed no matter who wins really.
-
I'm referring to Mitt Romney of course. Mitt Romney = Norman the Mormon.
-
If he wins I think I'll move to Denmark or Switzerland.. somewhere around that area. :-\
-
Lol are you just pipe-dreaming there Gaz or is that an actual promise?
I AM GARY OAK, AND IF THERE IS A MORMON IN OFFICE....I'M GOING DANISH!
-
oh romney, my grandparents met him like when he first started campaigning. it's pretty much the same thing that i said if john mccain won in 08 (mainly because of sarah palin though). if this fuck wins i'm denouncing my citizenship and going back to australia.

it's not going to happen though. obama is going to win because he is totally the anti christ.
-
Romney will be the 3rd term of the George W Bush administration with Wall Street replacing the oil industry as the pimp whoring out the rest of the country (not that it isn't happening already).
As bad as Obama if Romney wins I might move to a place with a much better human rights and democratic track record, like say Iran.

Everybody hates you, but you're a puppet just like Obama. Please deport yourself and come out of the closet already. Your body language portrays a powerless individual.

Romney and Obama are the same person, as far as I'm concerned. We won't make anymore progress until we put an Independent in the White House. That's why I'm voting for Johnson. Even though he doesn't have a chance at winning, each vote gives him credibility for 2016.

If you vote for me, I will legalize Silk Road! Marilize Legajuana!

I feel exactly the same way. I vote for someone because they best represent my views, not because they are the lesser of two evils. I don't agree with Johnson on everything, but I do on the big issues, so he's my candidate.
-
It seems as if idiocy is a prerequisite for Republican nomination. McCain seemed like a decent guy but George W and Romney ? SURELY they don't represent the cream of the conservative crop. Fuck me....
Having said that, I used to enjoy watching all those documentaries about what a tit George W was. It's been a bit boring since you've had Obama in power as he's a very capable politician, speaker and statesman, but get Romney back in and we're back in business......
-
You are right there Ahoyhoy, I really miss the Bushisms on TV every week.
"My fellow Americans........errrrm......something happened today and it wasn't good but I forgot my speech.......now watch this drive!"
Them's were the good ol' days. :(

well, first off, the republican party DID NOT think it was a good idea to have this guy as their front man. you may not realize this, but for the past year and half every right wing media outlet has been bashing the shit out of this guy, desperate for anyone else to be the nominee for prez. thing is, Mitt is insanely rich, has insanely rich buddies, and all the other republican candidates had clown shoes just as big if not bigger than mitt's. seems to me that he bought the nomination.
i think its great though, because now the "christian right" is having their own bullshit come back around and bite them in the ass. the cowboy hat yahoos are terrified and ashamed that a member of the mormon "cult" has the support of the republican party for Pastor in Chief. there's even a movement now among evangelicals to write in "jesus" for president. El Oh fucking El!
the only people voting for romney are
-everyone in the mormon corridor
-guys in suits who work in the financial district.
-people who's hatred for the black guy burns so strong that they will turn a blind eye to everything they know about mitt
-
Is Norman the Mormon not a big fan of the darker human beings in the world then?

william "hussein" clinton
-

not officially, i'm sure. but theres a lot of racist shit in the book of mormon aimed specifically at black people. stuff about them being sub human and not allowed into heaven or something like that. but thats all beside the point i was trying to make. which is that if you're proactively racist, ur gonna vote for the white guy no matter how kooky his religion.
-

Probably true, still didn't stop him from wearing black face in a debate.
-
I just want another great president to come along like Lincoln, Jefferson, Wilson, either Roosevelt, Truman, or even Kennedy. I know Reagan wasn't the greatest but I still like him too. :-\
-
fuck Reagan's corpse in the mouth. the first of presidents brought to you by corporations. find some movie star, write bullshit like "trickle down economics", make yourself and your inner circle rich by dishing out insane government contracts to private manufacturers (you and your friends) for tanks, bombs, guns, battleships, etc. "hurr durr, we're creatin' jobz!!
there will never be another "great" president because i think america is way to divided now. i mean, its so polarized now that its like there are two america's. but the right wing is so split right now between a bunch of different shit, that i don't think they'll be able to win any major elections in the near future. and if those yee-haws don't get their way, well....i know it sounds crazy to suggest, but i wouldn't be surprised if Union of States begins to deteriorate very soon. if it does, i just hope its not violent this time.

Haha, like I said I didn't like him for his presidential fuckups but he was a nice guy to my family. ;)

Why do others feel the need to denigrate others for their religious beliefs?
I can only laugh when i read shit like this. I am glad i don't own a TV and now i am once
again justified in not having one. People have lost their ability to think for themselves and
i am not necessarily speaking of limmy just because i quoted him. U guys just don't get it!
it doesn't matter what suit is in office - they r both the same!! well sort of. Obama is a full fledged communist
and Romney is just a dupe for the republican elitists to see if a Mormon can finally win the presidency.
It really won't matter which one wins the outcome will be the same just like it is now and has been in the
past!!! The banks and corporations will run the country! Us the citizens will merely remain the same slaves
that we have always been since 1913 when the federal reserve was enacted illegally. We - the American
citizens pay interest to a private bank called the federal reserve and the major corporations
bribe our senators and congressmen to carry their water. The federal reserve is as federal as federal express!! Not - look it up...
So u see limmy - as long as the sheep here vote for one of the two parties it really won't matter what one wins!!
I think Romney is a nice guy - he gave 30% of his income to charities last year and the years before that - Mormon and all!
Do u really believe that no blacks were helped by that money?
The unfortunate thing is that no matter how good or evil a man is when he reaches the presidency he will bend to the will of the
bankers and corporations unless he has the intestinal fortitude to seize their assets and property and execute all of them first.
That being said i will never vote for Romney or Obama because they are both corporate and banker tools.
If u guys like Obama so much - r we out of Afghanistan? Iraq is gitmo closed? is weed legal? NO! Obama has
shut down more clubs in Cali than any other president - even Bush!!!
I am a political atheist and i believe they r all the same. we should be in control of ourselves!
-
An interesting take on thing Nugsy, an interesting take indeed. Let me so though, I just used his Mormonism as a point to take the piss because, well, I just enjoy taking the piss so much it's hard not to lol.
See it doesn't really bother me that the world is like you say it Nugs, see the thread about the CIA Cocaine conspiracy videos if you want my view.
Nice to see you have a Hayekian view on the Federal Reserve too. ;)
-
i c u now limmy :)
but as far as Romney goes it doesn't matter if he is atheist....all the same.
-
Lol yeah I know, it's just the first port of call on the road of taking-the-piss lol.
-
Obama is a full fledged communist
lulz @ that
don't get me wrong, i would be totally open to the idea of a communist president, but Obama's a social-capitalist at best.
-
Taking the Amerikan Election Process serious was your first mistake.....
-
honestly, i think americans on the west coast and in the northeast need to study what has been going on in quebec for the past 40 years. when the conservative oil junkies/war mongers get in power and try to bulldoze the people who value peace and brotherhood, we should put up a fight. i'd like to see a northeast bloc or west coast bloc elected to congress to make known our cause, and the possible consequence of secession.
yeah, i'm just stoned and talking shit, but i really don't see these states as very "united" lately

They are two sides of the same coin, both want large government with there nose and a microphone up everyone's ass.
I am not voting for ether of them!
I am voting for Gary Johnson he is the only candidate that is making any sense this election.

these libertarian guys sound grea on papert, but when i think it through, they make me a little nervous. i fear they would do nothing to stop big companies from raping the shit out of the environment and do nothing to combat the oppression and persecution of minority groups within the united states.

Government, both federal and local, is the greatest single polluter in the U.S. They literally get away with murder because of sovereign immunity. Libertarians would make government as responsible for its actions as everyone else is expected to be.
Now, if you feel that "Big Companies are raping the shit out of the environment" then buy land, get a group together to buy up all the land you can. Create your own wildlife preserves and sanctuaries. If it is something you are passionate about then there is a good chance other are just as passionate and will help.
Libertarians believe that every human being is entitled to equality before the law and fair treatment as an individual responsible for his or her own actions. They oppose racism, sexism, and sexual-preference bigotry, whether perpetrated by private individuals or (especially) by government. They reject racial discrimination, whether in its ugly traditional forms or in its newer guises as Affirmative Action quotas and "diversity" rules.
Libertarians recognize that there will always be bigotry and hatred in the world, just as there will always be fear and stupidity; but one cannot use laws to force understanding any more than one can use laws to force courage or intelligence. I think you would find that oppression and persecution of minority groups would go down.
-
The problem is that you can't reduce the size and scope of government without reducing the size and scope of the multi-national corps. I'm not saying this from the perspective that the state needs to dictate business details but rather because so many of the corporations are states unto themselves. If the ability to tax without recourse and stand an army is the mark of a state then Goldman Sachs (and JP Morgan, BOA, etc) are states. Their tax power comes via the Federal Reserve in their ability to confiscate wealth through the debasement of our currency. Blackwater and similar security firms provide them with as large of an army as they can afford.

yah. there are others. we're called the "Green Party" and no one votes for us. i don't have money to buy land and create wildlife preserves, but the United States governement would have plenty of money for that if we diverted funds that currently are spent on war machines.
pollution would be a LOT worse without government regulation. for example, "clear cutting" forests would have never been banned in the state of maine and not only would the largest forest in the northeast have been destroyed along with the flora and fauna that live there, but the paper & lumber industries would have bottomed out due to lack of resources.
government can do good things for humanity, if it is held to a high moral standard by the people who elected it.
i voted for ron paul in the republican primaries just because i wanted to raise the level of discourse in the country, but i honestly don't think i could vote for a libertarian for president. i like the whole "end the war on drugs" thing, but pretty much all their other "small government" and "states rights" ideas scare the shit out of me.

The elections never really matter to me. The man in the seat is just a figurehead. Romney is an idiot (why are all Republicans so STUPID?), Obama is more hip.
Either way it doesn't matter who ends up as President. Same puppet, different day. The prez really has very marginal power or influence any more. DC is controlled by lobbyists.

i used to feel this way, but TBH, Obama has given me a lot more optimism these days. and I didn't vote for him in 2008, btw, but after mucho mucho consideration, i am voting for him this time. this will be first time i haven't voted for the green party candidate for president
regarding the lobbyists things, Obama signed an order banning gifts from lobbyists to anyone in the Executive Branch. http://bit.ly/fsBACN
He also signed an order banning anyone from working in an agency they had lobbied in previous years, and put strict limits on lobbyists’ access to the White House. http://nyti.ms/gOrznV

I mean the guy straps dogs to the top of cars! That's not a good precedent for running the most powerful country in the world. As America treats the U.K like it's dog does that mean you be strapping us atop an SUV? If so please stop, take a step back and don't do this! We don't want any extra breeze in our faces!
Are you a dog person or a cat person?
I feel like most people on here are cat people. And not the blue anthropomorphic cat people. Like, they like cats.

I like both mate. :)

I'm a cat person. Dogs are cool but they are kinda like needy attention whores. Cats seem more like my personality.

Dogs are like "Humans give me food. They must be gods."
Cats are like "Humans give me food. I must be god." ;D
