This is mainly for Americans, but I think it's important that those of other nationalities take a look at this as well.
Those of you who've been around here for a while pretty much know of my disgust for the mainstream media and how they present the "news" (note the quotes) these days.
Late night TV host Craig Ferguson, who recently became a U.S. citizen, spoke about this particular election season in a very honest way. It's a non-partisan, humorous, yet very truthful and blunt look at what's going on this election season.
For a guy who was not born in the United States and did not grow up in this country, I truly believe that he gets this country better than most Americans I know do. I've never seen his show before but now I'm big fan of Craig and his very intelligent words of wisdom about this election, the media, and voting.
I advise ALL of you to click the link and spend the next 9 minutes getting a good reality check from a late night personality who holds far more merit and presents more intelligence than most of the mainstream media sources the rest of America is watching (not including me - I gave up on the media years ago).

This being a political season and political subject, please watch your comments. This ain't about who's voting for who or why. It ain't about the left or the right. It's about why you should vote and what you need to do to educate yourself about the candidates. So please don't turn this in to a political debate thread. My intentions are to enlighten folks about the big picture, not to start a discussion about the candidates or parties or any of that other crap that always gets would-be friends in to hate-filled shouting matches.
Don't make me have to lock and/or delete a thread I started, k?

Here here.... I vote every election year.
And Craig is so right. My all time fav. late night talk show host. Everyone has to watch this video.
So vote... don't vote just because they seem to be "electable" among your peers... Vote who you 'believe' (personally) should be president.
It is our duty.

As I like to say...
Preserve your right to bitch about the government...VOTE!!
Seriously...it's been my personal experience that some of those who are most unhappy with the system we have, never voted. It's like someone who never drinks soda complaining when Mountain Dew makes a new flavor, yeesh.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pillabortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion ________________________

Personally, I believe that the two leading presential candidates are BOTH crooks, but that's beside the point. Nothing new there.
Yes, it is.

Word!
Seriously - it does make bitching about the president/government a lot more relevant. If you don't vote, I you forfeit your right to complain about it. So says I.

That is true. I've said that before on my blog on MySpace. However, we also have Bob Barr but I really don't know that much about him yet other than seeing him on Glen Beck.
I believe that everyone should seriously vote, but not to take all the political crap too seriously cause otherwise it's just going to start fights..
A little word from your friendly neighborhood Irishman... :P
Oh.. and I'm running for president now. I'm running on the Recognizer party. I haven't chosen a running mate as of yet... but if you vote for me, I will make sure that everyone will have free pet grid bugs and I will cut the cost of fragmentation and virus scans and provide easier living for old programs living in retirement zip files.
So vote for me. Qix77 of the Recognizer party. Not the other program from the MCP party who wants to cattle prod you before forcing you to play in the game grid. I'll do the same without the cattle prods. Lol.. |

Yeah, seriously if we took it seriously, it would cause a reality bubble. And we'd all be auctioned off to the government.

Sounds like you're ready to clean up the system and put an end to all the corruption.
There are some interesting posts in this thread. I think I like the TRON-Sector campaign a lot more than the real one.
I wanted to do a series of Weed Killer for President gag videos, but didn't have the time. Was thinking about it seriously back in 2006. Some of you may remember that the great Max Headroom did the same in the 1988 election season.
