And for all the people that voted for Obama because "he is going to bring change"

I thought that was a given since he was running as a Democrat

Party affiliation isn't what it used to be. The stereotypes for the two big parties don't always apply. But the Democrats knew what they were doing. Put in a black man and say he'll change everything from what Bush is doing. That's all he would have had to say. He'd get 15% of the vote just from that from all the ignorant people who knew nothing about either candidate but still had to make sure to vote, plus the 45% that the Democratic party would have gotten anyway.

I think the "just go vote" mentality that all the national groups, celebrities, sports stars, etc. are telling people is misguiding. They need to change it to "Go learn about the candidates so that your vote is not in ignorance." Too many people these days vote solely on how charismatic a candidate is. Politics are about POLICIES, not smooth talking you at a cocktail party.

That is one of the truest things I've ever read.

Can't say 'feg' or 'ghey', what's the point of freedom of speech with that.

So what you're saying is, California actually passed a law against making an ass of yourself? :D

You should have all the freedom you want to put your foot in your mouth.

apparent inner city girl on the Kansas City news talking about expectations of her and her peers (I assume expectations from the students themselves, not from the teachers/parents/etc): "The guys here are expected to barely graduate if at all, and the girls are basically expected to just pop out babies." :(

I've gotten better at the telling people whats on my mind, which is usually just the truth :P

That's really what it needs to be. Just. Be. Honest. It's really not hard and makes nearly everything so much easier, and being honest will never snowball. Not to mention the huge lift off of your shoulders from not having to carry around a huge load of bullchit everywhere you go and everyday.

People cant handle the truth, pure and simple. They would much rather have people lie to their faces, ..and they do believe it!!! Alot of people dont like me because I tell them black or white.

anyways, I'm really tired of politics. I've never talked this much about them in my life, and I really don't enjoy it at all. Politics just make me angry. I'm so glad elections are over and I really want to stop talking about it all.

I agree

Again I agree

I think that the 200+ year old terms, democrat and republican, need to be rethought. :)

FYI, the "Republican" party had only been around for ~140 years.

but yes, they are getting quite stale.

Agreed.

Although, I would like to make an addition.

"Politics are about POLICIES, not smooth talking you at a cocktail party or scaring you into obedience."

You do know that the slave owners were by and large Democrats, the Republicans were the young, upstart radicals from the North :D
