[kj] [KJ] OT: Replace one bunch of cretins.. with another !!!

[ade]

Fair comment - totally agree, but all we're actually doing here is having a left v/s right slanging
match. Enough to put most people off politics, I'm afraid. This is why many people vote vacuously,
ie, "I always vote for partyX & always will", or "I voted conservatives 'cos my favourite colour is blue",
ad infinitum.
 
Nevertheless, I will vote (if we, the UK, ever get another chance to), I just don't know who the fuck
for !!!

Me either, ade. But that doesn't mean we have to give up.

Pardon my apathy, but we replaced the conservatives in the UK with the only party that said it was "the peoples' party" & had any sort of majority. Yet we're in Iraq.
 
Revolution? Yeah, just look what happened in France...
 
Frankly, I don't know WHAT the answer is, these days.

Clinton:  Left office with a smile on his face and a surplus.
Bush:  Fucked the entire economy up by giving tax cuts to the top 1% and starting an invasion, with a trillion dollar deficit.
 
Maybe we should make sure that our Presidents have outlets to, er, release themselves instead of channeling that energy into destruction.

I have always hated Underdone Chicken Cutlet McCain.....especially after reading about his wife.

Bette: 
 
Yeah, she's a beam of light, all right ...
But I think you're on to something with McCain (who I honestly don't think is such a bad guy -- but it's just sad to see how desperate he is when it comes to this election, and his flip-flopping makes John Kerry look like Ronald Reagan).

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.....the only reason Obama will be our next President is because we don't want a slab of tired, overdone chicken cutlet who praises to the high heavens Lil' Bush.  I read that said chicken cutlet is considering Condoleeza Rice as his running mate.....she is such a beam of light!

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? :)

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.
