Bette: If enough Americans vote, we might actually make some progress.
But you make some excellent points.

  It is gonna take a sweeping.......change......in the basic American mentality....I have more hope for that than voting in a "leader" and I don't think it was coincidental that a black man and a woman were pitted against each other in the Democratic race.  Obama will win, but he has a stacked (not that kind :) Supreme Court and a passive Congress.  He is dominated by his donators, and is not going to be able to undo all the shit that started with Reagan, even if he wanted to....which I don't know about.....I mean, he compared himself to the guy......yikes

    Ade:

    There's nothing wrong with feeling positive, but I seriously doubt that most supporting Obama has any delusions that he'll be able to fix the mess this country is going through. 
    It's going to take decades to do that. And it's going to take a true attitude shift among people, regardless of their politics.

      Yeah, funnier, but I think the original does a great job of showing just how divisive Demo-twat supporters can be. What a message to spread, eh! Let's take sides, everyone!

      Politics swings like a pendulum because the left & the right attempt to exclude each other. Then the group of people who's opinions have been excluded eventuallty rise-up again & so on in this pathetic cycle. You're in MY club or you're not - they BOTH say this!

      Myspace? Yeah, I'm wearing an advertising board on my back as I speak! It says 'KILLING JOKE'. Oh, that's an acceptable form of advertising? Right! I don't ever expect to make a living from music, but it's nice if someone pops by one of the numerous urls & listens for a minute or two - is that so EVIL? ;)

      Everyone who's supporting the 'force for change' that is Obummer - you probably feel like I did when Labour where about to take over in 1996. I was a naive (to say the least) 23 year old & thought to myself "thank fuck for that, the Tories are out & everything is going to be fine from now on..."

      OOPS!

        I prefer the errr... Edited version.... :)

        "Some of the dire consequences of political inbreeding in Blue States. 

        This is a parody of TruthThroughAction.org's short film, Blue Balled. The original film, horribly edited, has a message so badly cobbled together that to parody it is like whacking a pinata with a boat oar, sans blindfold. But we couldn't resist. The film is so self-satisfyingly smug it has a virtual "kick me" sign on it. 

        What we can't help thinking is that when you ask Obama supporters why they are voting for him they say, "because he has the ability to bring the country together." Oh, really? These knuckleheads have made an entire film about the complete polar opposite of Barack's supposed appeal. 

        Enjoy!"

        BTW, Ade. Are you a walking myspace commercial? :)

        Cheers,

        Competition is a barbaric, insensitive ritual that reeks of social Darwinism.
        We cannot allow the fittest to survive on our pages. Your loss is someone
        else's gain, and your gain is someone else's loss. Therefore, losers contribute
        to the society and winners take away from it. Being a winner is unethical, while
        a society of losers is happy and striving as a collective. In the spirit of diversity,
        inclusiveness, and collectivism our contests shall have no winners.
        Everyone is declared a loser, which in our book means an ethical team player.
