Cythraul: And what kind of 'social change' is the 'Right' offering us, Subby?

Feudalism is a kind of social change.

GAT_00: Really? Because there's a reason I'm voting for Jill Stein.

Because you want a Romney presidency but aren't self loathing enough to actually vote for him?

runwiz: Many liberal Democrats are disappointed in Obama but this disappointment is totally their fault. They've have created an Obama of their own mind and imagination; an Obama that doesn't really exist. He was the vehicle of their hopes but only in their minds. In reality he never was an engine for real change. He is just Republican-lite; the leader of the other corporate party. Neither of the 2 major parties really represents the working man nor do they stand for fair distribution of the wealth of our nation. An Obama reelection will only at best be marginally better than a Romney victory and could be worse.

I think this one should have gotten more bites. It's got the buzz words. The falsehoods should provoke outrage and defense of Obama, yet it's not over the top.

But, nobody went for it, so you score no points.

PonceAlyosha: cman: PonceAlyosha: Philip Francis Queeg: The election of Romney will bring real social change.

The destruction of the social safety net, the further empowerment of the wealthy and corporations and the destruction of the middle class is significant social change.

And the criminalization of homosexuality.

Yeah, that aint happening at all. You are full of it if you think that way. Romney is an asshole flip-flopping idiot but outlawing homosexuality is not possible

He promised to amend the constitution to make it impossible for people of the same sex to get married. And that is only day one.

Banning gay marriage is not outlawing homosexual relations. Sure it is a stupid hateful thing to do indeed, but Romney wouldn't dare to even submit that much. Romney is a politician who says a lot of shiat to get elected. However, he is pretty damn moderate in many respects. If Romney became President he would not submit such a constitutional amendment. I could see Santorum doing it, but not Romney.

mat catastrophe: GAT_00: Really? Because there's a reason I'm voting for Jill Stein.

Because you want to encourage third parties to keep wasting their time, money, and effort on national elections they cannot win (and even if they did, would find themselves powerless to effect any change) instead of focusing on local elections first and building up a base of support in communities that would, in the short term, have a greater effect on your day-to-day life than who the President is and, in the long term, lead to the actual possibility of national gains?

BUT ROMENY == OBAMA!!!
