What does everyone think of Romney? I keep seeing something on the news about a Romney ringtone. I guess he slipped up! Is there any of the candidates that you like? I am still unsure, I have never trusted a politician. I think they are bred to lie.

I just can't get excited about Romney. Seems to me like the presidential choices just keep getting worse and worse.

If it's just between Obama and Romney, I'm pretty sure we're screwed. Again.

Hi, I'm with Wayne. I think a write in campaign for Lady Gaga would be more suitable Laughing

When one of the automated calls come in for any candidate ..... I ask who are they running against. Then tell them because they violated my privacy I will vote for the other guy. Twisted Evil

It usually stops them cold in their tracks. Now of course they probably have put a hex on my house..... Rolling Eyes

Good Listening

I've decided to run as an independent candidate. My motto is "A tube amp and a pair of constant directivity speakers in every listening room". These will be free for everybody who is legally in the US. A new tax on rich speaker manufacturers and tube amp manufacturers will pay for it.

Make it some quality ESLs and you have my vote. But please tax the other amp makers. Rolling Eyes

Are you saying that "rich" and "speaker manufacturer" can never be in the same sentence? Ditto for tube amp manufacturers. Darn, I was counting on you for a $100,000 contribution to my super pac.

I happen to like Ron Paul, and I really think he could help fix the mess we are in. Sadly, everyone seems to ignore Ron. Sometimes I think America might be brain dead.

One of the bad things about a democracy is that it is certain that dumb shits will rule. I mean, not to be an elitist, but think about it: People with high aptitude are a minority, and democracy is the rule of the majority. Hence, dumb shits rule. Same thing with communism/socialism.

I know, we're not a democracy, we're a republic. And I think that helps. It's definitely a step in the right direction, but not so far that a single sovereign rules (who might also be a dumb shit, just one with royal blood). But still, I agree with you that it is apparent we're letting the tail wag the dog. Even in a republic, I guess we can't get away from that problem entirely.

I'd just as soon have Barney Frank and Jack Abramoff running against one another as Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Same shit, different, uhh, well, different nothing. Just the same old shit.
