no sound this late at night, but from the look of it, I'm gonna be bummed if I check this out tomorrow and it's not hilarious.

I base all my political decisions on this guy:

I think the president has a lot to do with the national zietgiest - the last eight years have felt like the dominant attitude was one of nasty dumb viciousness and deliberate brutish stupidity . . . and I do indeed blame those in power for setting the national tone. So even if Obama won't come swinging into the Oval Office in a cape and single-handedly beat back the lobbyists, I'd rather have a national attitude dominated by the idea of "Yes We Can" rather than one dominated by "You're either with us or against us."

I hope I never need a politician to tell me how to feel. Obama's platform was basically handed to him, "Be the opposite of everything that is the current administration." A fucking bear on a unicycle could get elected in that context.

okay I know my previous rant was a little confusing but at 2:10 on this video hilarity ensues http://imvotingrepublican.com/index.php

he Republican/Democrat duopoly has, for far too long, ignored the most important issues facing our nation. However, alternate candidates Chuck Baldwin, Cynthia McKinney, and Ralph Nader agree with Ron Paul on four key principles central to the health of our nation. These principles should be key in the considerations of every voter this November and in every election.

We Agree

Foreign Policy: The Iraq War must end as quickly as possible with removal of all our soldiers from the region. We must initiate the return of our soldiers from around the world, including Korea, Japan, Europe and the entire Middle East. We must cease the war propaganda, threats of a blockade and plans for attacks on Iran, nor should we re-ignite the cold war with Russia over Georgia. We must be willing to talk to all countries and offer friendship and trade and travel to all who are willing. We must take off the table the threat of a nuclear first strike against all nations.

Privacy: We must protect the privacy and civil liberties of all persons under US jurisdiction. We must repeal or radically change the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the FISA legislation. We must reject the notion and practice of torture, eliminations of habeas corpus, secret tribunals, and secret prisons. We must deny immunity for corporations that spy willingly on the people for the benefit of the government. We must reject the unitary presidency, the illegal use of signing statements and excessive use of executive orders.

The National Debt: We believe that there should be no increase in the national debt. The burden of debt placed on the next generation is unjust and already threatening our economy and the value of our dollar. We must pay our bills as we go along and not unfairly place this burden on a future generation.

The Federal Reserve: We seek a thorough investigation, evaluation and audit of the Federal Reserve System and its cozy relationships with the banking, corporate, and other financial institutions. The arbitrary power to create money and credit out of thin air behind closed doors for the benefit of commercial interests must be ended. There should be no taxpayer bailouts of corporations and no corporate subsidies. Corporations should be aggressively prosecuted for their crimes and frauds.
