The last thing the Republican party needs is another jerkoff from the East Coast. Christie is every bit as bad and worthless as Romney.

PolitiFact | In Context: Ted Nugent saying if Obama wins, 'I will either be dead or in jail'

Still alive, not in jail.

Burning Down's thoughts on politics are always amusing. Not for the reasons intended; largely because the typical tactic is to take a statement from a single person and applies it to the larger group. That this should take place just a few posts down from wherein people discuss the idiocy of mass politics just heightens the irony.

Wait, what? You know that quote is not my opinion, right? Rezz made a statement and it simply reminded me of that quote. I'm not using it to represent a large group of people, and Nugent didn't mean for it to be interpreted that way. It was a reflection on how he felt about Obama right at that moment.

Also, because I have different political views than you, you find that amusing? Or is it amusing because maybe you don't think I am smart enough to be discussing such things in the first place? That was kind of a vague statement, which I find amusing.

The media is really pushing Hillary at the moment, so this presidential race is already getting very entertaining. I also find it interesting that this race is being talked about a lot more compared to other races, considering we're still two and a half years away from election day.

**** her. Whatever her policies she's a career politician with little to no integrity just like all the rest. If Christie really does get the nod then I'll vote for him in a heartbeat. Regardless of his politics he's shown that he's actually willing to treat the "other side" as human beings and not the avatars of Satan. So long as the two parties are so ridiculously opposed then this country is an exercise in futility. We can't even pass a ****ing budget. A ****ing budget! How does that happen?

Sure different candidates might have different effects on the country, but then four or eight or however many years later the country will be sick of *insert party x* and turn to *insert party y* who will be so opposed to absolutely everything *insert party x* did that they spend most of their time trying to repeal or interfere with whatever the other did. So basically you just get a schizophrenic national policy that does nothing but run in circles around itself for the entertainment of the public while the two parties, which may as well be one party, pay for their underage hookers with our money.

Well, candidates have to start campaigning as early as possible now that corporations can spend as much money as possible on candidates. The money thrown at both candidates might end up cancelling each other out, but the sheer fact that they have to have their noses so far up their respective buyers' asses means that the corporations get to dictate to whoever happens to win.

The party system is a joke, and politics have become more about party versus party rather than doing what is best for this country.

I mean I am literally sickened by how childish it all is. I honestly think most politicians don't even use their brains regarding the central issues in the nation, they just mindlessly agree with the general stance that their party takes.

The day the party system is abolished is the day America can be considered a great nation again.

Christie is a corrupt piece of shit though. I see that as a bit of a negative.

Christie hurt his chances with his most recent scandal of corruption coming to light. Sure other politician are corrupt also but they know how to run their ships and keep things under wraps for the most part. He's just trying to muscle his way through things like he's a Sopranos extra or something. I normally don't wish ill will on people but I hope he dies of a heart attack from trying to lose weight too quickly. When you fuck with so many people's lives for your own political backroom politics he is just like all the rest of them that are currently in congress.
