hachi_destroyer Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) saw this today: figured id leave it here and see what happened. I find it interesting that this is the only video that Mr. Perry didn't disallow voting thumb up or thumb down on but id say it gives an idea of what the youtube community thinks of this video. comments AND voting were disabled on the rest of his videos that i found.

Burton Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 I'm kinda bummed Perry has screwed himself over. He's a very nice guy and has done great things for TX, but there's no way he can make a comeback to get the nomination now. As soon as I heard he was running, he had my vote, because he's a family friend, but now I gotta hope that maybe Ron Paul gets in cause the rest of them are no better than Perry in my eyes. This may be the first time since I turned 18 that I don't vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrazilBoy Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Ron Paul is the most dangerous man in the running.. His international policy is of showing weakness to a world where weakness is an invite to attack.. If he gets in expect malls, schools, and churchs to be attacked... He is far weaker than even Obama on defense... These freedoms you all enjoy of going out any where you like in relative peace will be gone.. His basic open borders policy and with the connection of Hamas to the mexican drug cartels are too risky... He knows his economy I give him that but I rather be poor and safe thsn rich and afraid for my childrens safety due to a Coward and Chief.. Each candidate has his issues, no perfect one can be found and never will be found.. Newt did balance the budget, reformed welfare, and caused gave us a surplus.. Yeah he has issues but he will be far better than Obama in every way... You may not like him but he may be what we need to keep us from being 3rd world nation.. We cannot afford 4 mores years of Obama.. The first 4 he had something to lose if he gets relected he will collapse this nation.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be coward in chief, not coward and chief. The president is the commander in chief. If you're going to make a play on words, at least get the words right.

Fanta Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Either way, all of the current candidates are crap personally. I think a user on another forum I frequent put it best. People in The Netherlands have always looked up to the USA. It won't be long before that stops, I guess. These are stories I read, watched and heard in the mainstream media over here:your political system is one of the most corrupt systems in the worldyour politicians represent companies instead of peopleyour government will probably censor the internetyour government detains without trialyour government tortures peopleyour government hires mercenariesyour government does nothing to improve educationyour president doesn't have any real influence over what happensyour presidential candidates are stupid beyond beliefyour presidential candidates promote stupidityyour presidential candidates are not taken seriously over hereyour elections are a jokeyour media outlets cannot be trustedyour media outlets focus on distractions instead of main issuesyour people are screwed when they're uninsuredyour infrastructure is collapsingyour economy will soon be top 3 instead of #1your economy will probably collapse a second time-- Granted, some are skewed views of things, but it does make one pause and rethink the current state of affairs. As an aside, I will be pissed if SOPA passes, since it's a bunch of non-tech beauracrats who are trying to push it through ( watching it live the other day, and seeing a representative say " I'm getting bored, lets just forget reading the revision and push it through already." I wish my generation would strive to vote more to incite a change. Edited December 20, 2011 by Fanta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiplee Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I'm glad you said it first Chip. It peaked my interest . Lol, no problem. I turned in my "grammer" police badge and gun a long time ago, but there is something particularly off about a person disparaging the president by calling him a coward while referring to him in a malapropism. It just seems like a citizen should at least have to actually know the president's title before they bad mouth him. I mean, how can you study and read enough to be confident the president is a coward, but miss the fact that he is the "commander in chief", vice the commander and chief? Seems like the kind of opinion you get from a radio talk show or something, vice any actual investigating or sincere inquiry. I'm all for bad mouthing presidents though, believe me. quit piqueing on him. besides, it's a mute point; you know what he meant. Hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like the GOP heavy hitters are just holding back until 2016 vice wasting money on a losing fight in 2012. Romney has the money to waste. Gingrich and Cain just entered the race to sell books and nspeaking engagements. Ron Paul typically stands on righteous ground, but his ideas are entirely too advanced for our current reality. The other three are in it to get their names out there so they're not "unknowns" in 2016. Ron Paul would be compelling if it weren't for a few key things. Some of his strongest supporters are the people his policies would harm the most. He comes off as thinking he is the only person who realizes how messed up everything is, and I fear he would attack problems with huge changes which would be difficult to manage the fall out from. Ultimately, I suspect we'll see 4 more years of Obama, mostly because no amount of house or senate experience or state governor experience adds up to the experience of 4 years as president. America would be stupid to elect anyone in the GOP camp right now, but America has been stupid before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanta Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Exactly that's how we got Obama to begin with.. Not necessarily. He promised change, and gave hope to the American people. I think more so now, people are waking up and having the foresight that the problem doesn't exactly fully lay on the President's steps, but also the elected members of the House of Representatives and Congress, how much an effect corporate lobbying has had in influencing politics for their own betterment, skewed media, and such. At least I would like to think this is the case judging by what I have been seeing in the people around me. A lot has happened in the past four years in terms of bring important items to light via web and social media outlets that mainstream media does not report on. This should prove interesting ( to me at least, I still cannot legally vote, so as an observer, it's interesting to watch how it all plays ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the stupid choice we made electing Bush two times in a row, America had no choice but to hire a democrat to get things back in order. Glad we agree.

BrazilBoy Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Back in order? 17 trillion in debt that your daughters kids will still be paying for... 9% unemployment... A BBB credit score...I am no fan of Bush but he left office with 7.2% unemployment, 4.2% average in 8 years, 800 billion in debt and a AAA credit... So what did Obama fix exactly? What portion of his record can he run on? In what way has your life been improved by Obama? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
