Why can the rest of the world see it? What is wrong with some Americans?

Now there's a great bit for the Obama campaign: "When you vote Romney, you're voting with Pakistan."

edit: dang ninja kids. Also, the reason they probably support Romney is because they associate Obama with drone strikes inside Pakistan. Not that Romney would do anything different in that regard.

Well, Romney is a pretty heavy social conservative. Pakistanis might like that, I guess.

Now I can't stop thinking about potential Islam-Mormon interactions.

That, and they have the shared family value of polygamy.


Also, Donald Trump made his "gigantic" October Surprise announcement:

He's offering President Obama $5 million to a charity of his choice if he'll release his college application, college transcript, and passport by October 31.

DUN-DUN-DUUUUUUUUN!!!

So yeah...he's still a Birther.

It's like some kind of bizarre reverse ransom demand.  Correct me if I'm wrong but no other president has ever had to reveal this information, right?

I'm just tired of him trying anything he can to get mentioned by people. It feeds his ego-boner, or something.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

If I were Obama I'd take him up on that. Trump is basically giving him a chance for free publicity. 5 million dollars to Doctors Without Borders would look good to pretty much everyone.

I will pay £3.50 (the value of the change in my pocket) to Romney if he either goes away for good or dresses up as a banana and declares himself "Mister Poopy Face" in front of the senate. How come when Trump does pretty much the same as this people agree with him?

Because his large piles of money gives him more say in American politics. You should know this by now.

[MonkeyHead]

Heh, yea, I really should. So, how much is the cost of one vote on average nowadays?

[Mictlantecuhtli]

I dunno, Donald Trump hasn't offered me anything yet. I mean, I'd sell my vote if anyone wanted it. Too bad the rich only buy politicians. :[

[Nadaka]

I would vote Romney for 50 million dollars.

And what the hell Pakistan?

Drone strikes.

Both the fact of them and the Pakistani government and military reactions. There is plenty of public anger about them, and the government is perfectly happy to feed and maintain that while not actually stopping them.

The government has broadly been denouncing the strikes, but not going so far as to explicitly tell the US to stop them, so removing the current US justification of implicit permission. The military seems to be viewing them as a sort of military aid, allowing them to stop focusing on the western regions where the terrorists are and focusing instead on building up along the Indian border and rattling that sabre.


As for the Trump issue, I was really hoping the original rumours were true and it was leaked divorce papers. That would have been the biggest gift to Barack possible. He could do a sit down with Michelle in front of absolutely any journalist - even BillO - and come out with a 2% bump in the next round of polls.

[MonkeyHead]

But what better way than to manipulate a nation than by getting someone into power by buying votes for them?

[RedKing]

I think I'd say, "Okay....I'll release them and you can even keep the money, but you have to release the last five years of your tax returns, 'The Donald.'"

Cause you know Trump's tax returns have to make Romney's look squeaky clean by comparison. He probably has so much money stashed in Switzerland and the Grand Caymans that he doesn't even register as having income.

Yeah, on paper he might even qualify for foodstamps for all we know.

Of course foreign countries prefer Democrats. Mitt and his friends have a multi-prong method for dealing with other nations:

Does it have oil? Invade!
Is it a major trade partner with the US? Accuse of rigging economic system.
Is it poor? Use in campaign speech.
Is it even slightly more liberal than the US? It's just some communist socialist Eurotrash hellhole.

And speaking of Europe, I don't like Europeans on the internet. Not because they're from so-called "socialist" countries, but rather because many have a tendency to rub their nations' intelligence and political progressiveness in the face of Americans like me who would swim there and back to bring a fraction of it back.

Apparently Pakistan likes Romney. And judging from the last debate, Romney wants to like Pakistan. Romney also likes outsourcing... I think we know what to do...
