I would probably also support somebody who adheres to the second and seventh condiments.

I'm trying to figure out whether this was an intentional delicious typo.

Intentional, and that wasn't a typo.

You can also call them the 8 "I'd really rather you wouldn't"s

Please prove to me that you guys can be cool.  I'm begging you.

What? Compared to how these things normally turn out, we're doing pretty good. Doubledown Man hasn't shown up yet, at any rate.

You just need to spend more time posting stuff for us to ponder. Get on that chief.

I laugh at that image every time

Sadly, I haven't heard any news. I mostly rely on this thread, tbh.

We could always do a "Who on B12 is deserving of votes based on their stances"...but I'm afraid of the volcanic eruption that may occur...

Somehow inviting the forum to project its political thoughts on to other forum members seems like a bad idea......

I agree on both counts.

Yeah, the idea initially sounded like fun, but then my brain went, "No, you moron! The internet is made of straw, and that many flames would kill us all!"

I dunno, if I had have voted in the 2008 election I probably would have voted Mccain because his ideas seemed better. In reflection though I would now have voted for Obama in 2008.

This election my vote would probably be

Paul
Huntsman
Obama

Screw everybody else. If Ron paul wins, America has some hope. If he does not... well... Blame yourself.

[nenjin]

You know what makes that belief totally ironic? The other thread you started.

An intersting take on it for us outsiders.

[Eagle_eye]

Screw everybody else. If Ron paul wins, America has some hope. If he does not... well... Blame yourself.

Ron Paul wants to gut the federal government to the point where "you wouldn’t need the income tax. " That would mean an end to most welfare programs, many of which are the only things keeping a large portion of the population out of poverty. Say medicare is privatized, which under a Paul presidency, it inevitably would be: prices go up, because the insurance companies that run it are only concerned with making money. They are amoral constructs designed for that sole purpose. If prices go up, many retirees, who had planned for the continuation of medicare until the end of their lives, won't have the money to pay insurance premiums. If they get in an accident, they go bankrupt. If they get a chronic illness, which they almost inevitably will, they may well die much earlier for lack of money to pay for treatment. Any ideology that causes death to prevent theft(or what hardcore libertarians view as theft) is wrong.

[ECrownofFire]

Just because something is privatized, doesn't mean prices automatically go up.

Also, if you don't like those prices, then don't pay them. It's a free market for a reason.

[Luke_Prowler]

A free market implies that the government has no hand in business. It's not really "free" when corperations keep getting tax breaks and bail outs.
