Stirring the pot is more entertaining than arguing over which candidate will screw the country, and my life, over less than the other one.

Our two-party system is broken and is merely a disguised single-party 'option'. For the typical citizen, federal politics is the equivalent of being sentenced to death but being given the options of death by firing squad or electric chair - in the end, you're still dead.

Political candidate 'discussions' are like arguing over which hooker in Chinatown has the least chance of giving you herpes.
uhhh, I meant you seemed to have fully embraced the dark side and joined us.

Haha... well, I wouldn't say fully embraced. As you can see from my last post, I'm disgusted by both sides of the aisle. Mitt is marginally "less-awful" than Obama.
- While not in charge of the planning, he was at the helm during all of the construction disasters with Big Dig.
- He was at the helm when health care in Mass was socialized.
- He was at the helm while many of the sweetheart deals were created for automotive and other insurance companies.
- Business taxes went up quite a bit under our alleged corporate friend
- He continued the expired Federal Assault Weapons ban. An impotent law that was did nothing to curb crime on the federal level and continues to provide no benefit to Massachusetts citizens

However, the list of negatives for Obama is about 10 times as long.
