Politics

Mad, isnt it? Its about grown men wearing make up ripping each other. Theres irony somewhere there.

Ive been watching "the best political team on TV" hyping the US Presidential race a bit more than I would have thought I would have. In fairness, its boss. Unmissable TV.

As an outsider, here are my random thoughts.

Obama: Quite clearly, should win.
Clinton: Winning votes purely because of the female vote. Dont like her hair.
Edwards: Mr Nice, like an ace uncle who slips you a fiver. Too nice to win.
McCain: No matter what he says, Bush mark II. Fakes smiling during interviews.
Romney: Like he can connect with the working class. Nice voice though.
Huckabee: Best Republican candidate, he's boss. Best drinking partner.
Gulliani: Campaign ends tonight. Hyperactive jaw motions all over the show.

Anderson Cooper and Blitzer will be shitting themselves, theres a new kid on the block.

Oh wait....

Yeah, Obama should blatantly win. Not that I know anything about politics aside from the fact that Democrats are less right wing, and therefore should win

 

[chicoazul]

I liked very much that you didnt tag them as left wing. Thats a sign of the times.

Labour = less right wing.

Adelante Comrades.

Not to far off the mark.

Its between Hillary and Obama on the dem side its going to be a dogfight.

I like the way that its all about how well a campaign is ran, sometimes at the expense of whether they are in fact the best candidate.

I see it as a massive version of X-Factor in a way. With nuclear launch codes for the winner.

I think a lot of the issues in politics (with both sides of the aisle) could be cleared up with term limits.

Our President can only serve two, four year terms. Why shouldn't we have the same for Congress?

Many of the problems lie with "career" politicians who really only care about remaining in office and really don't care about doing the right thing for their constituents. It's only about getting re-elected. End of.

I get the feeling that whoever wins between Obama and Clinton will get beaten by McCain. Of course I still live in hope that Ron Paul or Michael Bloomberg get the nod

Took it again and now I am marginally closer to Ron Paul than Guliani. Still furthest from the left-wing nutcase Obama (who I would still vote for over Hillary)

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Closest to Ron Paul, furthest from Mike Huckerbee. Basically smack bang in the middle of the economic right/socially progressive quadrant. Consistent at least.

 

[chicoazul]

Dylan, who are you voting for mate. Its well McCain isnt it you mentalist.

 

[SuitsBlue]

'thread title' is excellent because due to personel, it isnt sterile.
