Fuck politics. But from my 15 year old viewpoint, fuck Romney. He wants to ban online porn. That asshole.

I hate that we only have 2 choices.

I want to be more like Australia, where you just put them in order of the one you like most to the one you like least.

im becoming more and more convinced that anyone who is hardcore liberal, or hardcore conservative, or actually thinks Obama or Romney is a great candidate and can improve our country, is fucking retarded. if I was forced to vote for one id vote for Romney, as i am definitely more conservative, though the modern day definition of a conservative is very far off of what i believe. I still agree with him more than i do obama. but i dont see anything improving if he's elected, hopefully the fucking of our country will just slow down, but thats about all i can expect.

NO no.. who ever thinks the presidency is the end all-be all of what goes down in this country is 'retarded'

I will say that it does effect policy, and that I hope to god no fucking dipshit gets in office when a bunch of the supreme court justices leave - and in response get a couple more whackos in the court in some effort to overturn Roe v. Wade... But overall the congress as retarded as it is is prettttty much the real lawmaking body of the government. And they are easily paid for.

This is really are biggest problem. Our system relies heavily on a Congress that actually is honest and wants to work hard. We rely on votes from 50 different states to make this happen. These 50 states are all relying on one another to make the right vote...... Too many pieces too the puzzle??

It's not too many pieces to the puzzle... the biggest issue is Congress is in bed with K street.

You know that liberals are not economically savvy because their ideas go against the widely accepted theory among economists known as Pareto Efficiency. This is what should be the desired standard when it comes to generating economic efficiency. What it states is that the standard is reached when no further change can make someone better off without making someone else worse off.

Pareto Efficiency is absolutely up for debate.

Efficiency is improved if more output is generated without changing inputs. The problem with Americans is that we cannot agree on what should be the desired output and what the given set of inputs should be. So in turn our economic efficiency is essentially at a limbo until we decide on what is desired and what should be the cost of that desire.

Obama was on it tonight. He was quoted as saying, "We don't need less tax for people like me. Lucky enough to make over $250,000/ year."
Romney could have a outside shot if he took this approach. It is very obvious why this approach would never be taken by Romney.... He is too greedy. Obama honestly appreciates his wealth. Romney really does kind of come off as the rich kid bully. Just my rant....
