I want a Democrat to be President

[cellardoor6]

Yep. So I can blame all of my problems on him (or her), all the time. Yeah, I want to have someone to focus all of my attention on in order to find myself blameless and unaccountable for anything I do.

I want to be able to interpret ANYTHING in the world that is negative to be a direct result of their actions. Just because I will disagree with the president politically, and think they are wrong, I can find some way of blaming them for everything else in the world that is seemingly wrong.

How lovely will that be huh? Seriously.

Today I realized how wonderful it must be. I was at my friends house and his cousin was there, we got into politics and he started going on about how everything wrong in the world is Bush's fault. Hell, he thinks that the fact that HE CAN'T GET A JOB is because President Bush is at the helm of the nation. He thinks that the fact he sucks at life is Bush's fault, and others there emphasized with him. Oh, and the centuries-old socio-economic problems of minorities, yeah, that is Bush's fault.

9/11... Bush's fault. Hurricane Katrina... Bush's fault (yes, if you are a democrat, you can rightfully claim that Bush controls the weather if it suits you). Terrorism of ANY kind... Bush's fault. North Korea and Iran developing nukes...Bush's fault. Genocide of any kind...Bush's fault

So, anyone here who isn't a Democrat or dislikes Democrats, vote for a Democrat anyway. We'll never have to use our brains to interpret anything subjectively and reasonably again! We can take a lesson from the Democrats and take the easy rout in ANY possible situation that has any political implications of any kind, we can just blame someone else.

Yay!

Oh, but be careful, if Hillary Clinton or Barrack Obama become President, they are immune from harsh criticism of the nature that their voting base gives Bush. Hillary is a female, Barrack Obama is black. So yeah, be careful... or you're a sexist/racist.

[K-RadPie]

Now that's a good idea, if I wind up on the streets it won't even be my fault-- It'll be the new democrat president's fault! It feels good knowing its not my fault.

I'm a victim, therefore I am.

Well, I'm one of the only people in my group of friends that doesn't smoke weed anymore. So relatively, yeah, they are pretty dumb. They are all self-proclaimed democrats too so it's a mixture of political idiocy and pot head mentality.

But, the most stupid stuff came from my friend's cousin, who I've never liked for many reasons. He's a huge druggy, and he totally fails at life. He's been arrested many times, got out of jail like 4 month ago for selling. But, his drug use isn't the problem in his life according to him, it's Bush's fault that drugs are illegal... or something like that.

He's under the impression that if Obama becomes president, weed will be legal.

So yeah, being in his position must be good for his self-esteem. The whole plight of people like him is due to the government, the fact that they smoke pot all day and have no desire to contribute to society is the LEAST of their concern.

You should try switching to being a libertarian. It is awesome like this all the time.

Okey.......

Libertarianism is for Canadians and stealth Jews.

Republicans are by far more libertarian in policy than Democrats, and since an actual Libertarian politician is a sort of oxymoron, theres not many more options.

My friend take it from someone who was grown-up for all of the Clinton years that while this may sound good...it really sucked! Please NO MORE YEARS! I beg of you! You can blame me for all your problems...just not four more years of Bill/Hillary Clinton Presidency!

I promise I'll even stop saying the AK is better than the M-16! :-) (fingers crossed behind my back...can't trust those stealth Jew Masons!)

That's why it's so much nicer up here in the Great White North. We blame the 'government' in general, not the liberals, or the conservatives, just whoever is running the show. And if we can't blame our government, then we fall back on Bush. Just curious, but did/do republicans blame Clinton for anything during his reign?

Meh, nowhere near how it is in the US. Most Canadians are overly accepting of their government in most cases, just now that a conservative is in power, the psychotic "OMG like he's the devils" nonsense becomes rhetoric for the overly liberal Canadians.

And if we can't blame our government, then we fall back on Bush.

Yep.

:Just curious, but did/do republicans blame Clinton for anything during his reign?

Maybe a little, but the thing is, in the meantime, the Republicans actually tried to do what was right for the country. They still wanted things to succeed. The Democrats however push for failures of the US so that their own political policy will seem right by default, and they can gain political capital.

That's the difference, Republicans tend to want what is best for the country regardless, Democrats like it when the country fails if they can blame it on their political opponents.

[fli]

Bush was a fine president...
he was NEVER wrong.
Nothing, what-so-ever, could be accountable to him...

and he talks to God.

What else could thrill this old queen?

[CaptainQuartz]

You know what bothers me. Most people will easily say "A country is nothing without it's people.." Yet, the moment a fault goes by, the "Social Pawn" is put for blame.

[Bolo]

And when Clinton was president, everything was his fault, too.

And when Reagan was President, everything was his fault, too.

And when FDR was president, everything was his fault, too.

Hey, its all a matter of perspective. The opposing party is always responsible.

I'm sorry, I just have to reply to this because it's not even a half truth. Every political party puts itself ahead of the country in terms of importance, and if you don't think Republicans do it, too, then you're a sadly misled individual.

The Republicans made a mockery of the US justice system, and the president in the 1990s in order to further their own political gain. Having sex with an intern was not a big deal in the grand scheme, and the fact the Republicans blew this scandal into a national farce over Clinton's lie about it is a strong indicator of their deep inner drive to reclaim the White House, no matter the cost, and regardless of the nasty political infighting that they might incite. Any sensible person in the world would tell you that Clinton's affair was not worth an EIGHTH of the attention it received from Newt Gingrich — coincidentally, having an affair of his own at the EXACT SAME TIME— and the media.

In the end, it was fairly obvious that the country had more pressing issues than this, and the ridiculous trial was ended with Clinton's acquittal on all charges.

Don't claim that Republicans are any saintlier than Democrats, man, because all political parties are motivated by the same draws; money, and power.

Nope, and I think that is hilarious coming from you.

See, I came into the whole world of politics with an entirely open mind, i dabbled in both parties and decided both are stupid. However, what I notice about Republicans is that their goals, first and foremost are pro-US. They want America to win on all fronts. They are stridently pro-US, sometimes to the detriment of other countries.

Democrats on the other hand are stridently pro-Democrat/socialism at the expensive of the good of their own country. From what I perceive from Democrats, they hate Bush's policies so much, they hate Republicans so much, that they WANT us to lose in Iraq because it will make their alternative approach to the world seem better by default, leading to DOMESTIC political victories for their party.

Democrats are basically traitors, but they are a little more intelligent and worldly. Republicans are much more loyal, but tend to be stuck in the 1950s in their view of the world. Both are stupid, but Republicans are still better for America, because their intent in their policies are purely pro-American.

[Tancrisism]

How can you honestly think that you are better than those that blame everything on Bush? You blame everything on the great horrid liberal conspiracy that is rampant in everything, and kills kittens and puppies when you kind-hearted, open-minded conservative dickheads aren't looking.

You are equal to the liberal fuckheads, as a conservative dickhead.

Because I don't blame my personal problems on the politicians I don't agree with. I think subjectively and reasonably. Partisan ship doesn't dictate me entire perception of the world, like it does for a lot of Democrats. I blame people who deserve blame, and I support people in certain issues depending on my take on that particular issue, not on loyalty for a party, or lack thereof.

Funny thing is, I voted for a Democrat in the mid term elections. Because that particular Democrat wasn't a total douche like the majority of people in her party.

Haha you're an imbecile. What have I blamed on a horrid liberal conspiracy? Hmm?

You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. The funny thing is, I'm not even conservative by most standards. I'm pro-choice (I don't support a federal ban on abortion), I support lighter drug laws etc.. I am pretty central in my official political stances, very mixed between Republican and Democrat in policies I support.

I actually see things as they are, I don't have the filter of political allegiance to one party or philosophy that sways my mind. I just think you're just talking out of your ass because you thought it would be an opportune time to say something that you think is clever, but really you know absolutely dick about what you're talking about.

The reason I'm singling out Democrats is because as a party, as a large portion of this country, I perceive their behavior to be complete and utter scapegoating. Their political bias entirely clouds their judgment to the point that they will judge a single human being for ALL of their problems because that human being represents their polar opposite politically. Republicans, in my observation, don't do that, at least not as a whole like Democrats do. The mentality is entirely different.

This is a great stride for you.

I've read many a post of yours where you mentioned a liberal conspiracy, but, as the Brits say, I can't be arsed to dig them up at the moment. I blame fatigue and the fact that in a couple hours I'll be on a plane to Boston. So you win this round, unless someone else wants to spot me.

Good. If only this showed in your posts more often, you seem to enjoy what your fellow Republicans hand feed you.

Wow, I appreciate the unintended compliment.

but really you know absolutely dick about what you're talking about.

Appreciation revoked.

The reason I'm singling out Democrats is because as a party, as a large portion of this country, I perceive their behavior to be complete and utter scapegoating.

And I respect that, as it's true. The Republicans do it equally though.

Their political bias entirely clouds their judgment to the point that they will judge a single human being for ALL of their problems because that human being represents their polar opposite politically.

I assume that you are referring to Bush-bashing in this case, in which not all Dems do so; to turn it around, when Clinton was president the Republicans tended to do the same thing.

Republicans, in my observation, don't do that, at least not as a whole like Democrats do. The mentality is entirely different.

You have an absolutely attrocious sense of observation, then. Watch Hannity and Colmes for twenty minutes. Or listen to Rush Limbaugh for ten. Or Bill O'Reilly for five. Or read something by Anne Coulter for one.

Both sides of the spectrum are equally idiotic, and once you realize this you will be a valuable asset to the United States because of your fantastic conviction and passion for politics.

[Cheekyvincent]

although i think the republicans are complete bs, the moment a democrat becomes president, ur gonna want a republican

No, see, republicans are economic libertarians, while democrats are social libertarians. No matter who is in, you can always bitch about them.

Or you can just go the Canadian route and be anti-politician in general.

[animehater]

I think both parties are just in it for themselves and not the welfare of the country. Yet currently I see the Republicans as the lesser of two evils.

Haha, compared to you guys, those extreme righties hardly seem worthy of taking any attention to.

But hey, ever since the 60's, it's always been the lefties political idea to burn an effigy of a soldier while chanting about "it's not just Bush, it's soldiers too".

Not to mention how almost every conspiracy theory comes from you guys.

[HighlyIllogical]

If a Democrat had been president in 2000 (like there should have been)...well, you know....

But if one of these new Dems comes in, I'm not so sure. People such as Al Gore and Wes Clark appeal to me. Hillary, Barack Hussein "Osama" Obama, and such don't. Mike Gravel is cool, but unelectable. See, I just have this hatred of "rock star" candidates.

We need Gore.
