Let The Debates Begin! Obama v Romney

I don't think intelligence matters at all. Obama may be vastly more intelligent than Bush Jr., but the same elite goals are reached with either an immoral-simpleton in office or an immoral rocket-scientist in office: policies that enrich the 1% over the 99%. However, being smart allows the more intelligent candidate to pull the wool over the voting eyes more effectively. For example, in 2008 Obama said:

quote:

---

Decades of trade deals like NAFTA and China have been signed with plenty of protections for corporations and their profits, he declared before GM workers in Janesville, Wisconsin, but none for our environment or our workers who’ve seen factories shut their doors and millions of jobs disappear.

---

But despite his 'intelligent' campaign pledges to protect the american worker, Obama championed Bush Jr.'s free trade deals with "labor-rights pariah Colombia, tax-haven Panama, and South Korea"And now with nearly silent corporate-media complicity, Obama is finalizing a huge free-trade deal with Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam.

quote:

---

"the deal would extend the incentives for U.S. firms to offshore investment and jobs to lower-wage countries.

---

quote:

---

These trade agreements have been the number one job killer for our members, the APPW’s vice president, Greg Pallesen, toldDollars & Sense.

The only REAL difference between Obama and Romney is that only one of them is outspoken for the best interests of the 1%. Laugh all you want about 'Romney the buffoon,' either way, the 1% will get the last laugh. Again.zcommunications.org - zcommunications Resources and Information.

It's tiresome, ain't it?

You know I empathize. When Bush Jr. was 'elected' for his second term, my political apathies and cynicism climbed sky-high. It seems americans are willfully ignorant, and they will always willfully choose a candidate that is against their best interests. Nothing can be done.Thank god for alcohol and nudie bars.

Well, presidential elections certainly mean something to the corporations that bought 'em. I doubt our stark differences can ever be mediated. I say 'good day sir!'

Would it be more accurate to say that the amount of money corporations give to a candidate serves as an index to the expected favors in return?

Perhaps I am mistaken, but, would not one directly effect the other? If Wall Street ran a ten trillion dollar advertising campaign for me, wouldn't my popularity soar. And inversely, if Wall Street ran a ten trillion dollar advertising campaign AGAINST my opponent, wouldn't my popularity soar.(Well, maybe not me, but some one less objectionable)

If the donations weren't affected by the corporate world, then yes, I would agree.However, the popularity of a candidate IS greatly manufactured by the corporate media. I thought my post Message 800 was an adequate argument reflecting how corporations and elites choose the candidates for the voters. I should think our world would be vastly more different if big business stayed out of politics.Edited by dronester, : Re-emphasised by changing sentence to: "However, the popularity of a candidate IS greatly manufactured by the corporate media."

Errr, . . . the current president has the powers of a god. Each Tuesday (or is it 'assassination-Thursday'?) he meets with his staff to decide who to murder with impunity. It can be a 'terrorist', an innocent child, or even a fellow american. There are no congressional limits.I think americans should vote for the candidate who will likely murder the LEAST amount of children. IMO, zero children murdered would be best.Edited by dronester, : clarityEdited by dronester, : added "There are no congressional limits."

Phew, what a relief for the parent's of the HUNDREDS of children killed by Obama's directives that they were NOT murdered. Boy, the parents will surely be happy from this news.
