like UK politics except everyone is more right-wing.

>>924169
So, I take it there are many parties out there.

Everything is x's fault, where x is the political party opposed to the party you support.

Liberalfag here, Republicans get shit done. Democrats are a bunch of a pussies.

Two parties fighting all the time.

>>924192

This. Republicans are much louder and religiously.

American politics are like kids in the schoolyard. Democrats are like the eccentric kids who try too hard to be different. Republicans are bullies who try to suppress their beliefs on everybody else. Communists are the kids who share their toys with everybody else. Independents are the kids no one else gives a fuck about.

>>924225
No 3rd option?

>>924248
Occasionally a third party will emerge

We're in a perpetual campaign cycle

>>924264
>implying the bigger parties won't swallow it

Elephants: Statists who want to turn the Unites States into a police state, but get supported because they promise to keep the gays down, guns in, and taxes 'low' even though they spend trillions in corporate welfare and love our bloated, inefficient military; which they use to start and escalate wars to fuel the military industrial complex.

Donkeys: A tattered, crumbling coalition of statists who want to turn the country into a European nanny state, ban guns and pointy objects, and is infested with conservatives who ran as donkeys for political expedience, so it struggles to stay afloat with all the dead weight tied to its ankles.

Libertarians: Not really libertarians, but anarcho-capitalists who believe the free market can and will fix everything and take care of the human race no matter how reckless it is. Want to put all taxation on the poor and the producers, while not taxing corporations, the rich, or bankers that produce nothing (If they don't want to ban taxation all together).

Tea Partiers: Want to legalize lynching niggers, deport Obama back to Kenya. Will vote overwhelmingly republican in 2010 and 2012, because they're poser neocons. Pic related.

Neither does the average American.

>>924276
yup, this

Trolled

What made Obama so popular?

>>924276

lol liberals

>>924163
You already know more than most Americans.

>>924308
Unfortunately. I filtered him some days ago, so at least I don't have to listen to his banal, hypocritical bullshit anymore.

>>924357


He can say change about ten times in a sentence.

>>924357
His skin color.

>>924346
Is that you, Flower Girl? U mad that nobody but yourself believes in the ignorant bullshit you spew?

>>924357

He was a black man who could speak well, and who was coronated by the media back in late '06. The media then tried to convince us that it had coronated Clinton and that Obama had come out of no where even though they had been dropping his name nonstop since his speech at the '04 convention. If any one of those things had not been true, he wouldn't have been looked at twice.

This is a perfect example of how politics works

1. Bush rips apart constitution with Patriot Act, FISA, torture, secret prisons, endless war.
2. Everyone hates Bush. Liberals call for his impeachment.
*bails out banking friends with couple hundred billion dollars

3. Obama comes along, hailed as the second coming of Jesus.
4. Obama gets elected.
5. Obama renews Patriot Act, expands FISA, increases wars, starts ACTA.
6. Bails out banking friend with over a trillion dollars
7. Bails out europe with 54 billion plus unlimited line of credit from Fed
8. Liberals defend Obama to the death, if you say ANYTHING bad about him, you get called a racist biggot.


I am not even joking.

>>924357
he got the most media coverage out of any candidate ever, and he promised a lot of stuff americans wanted done, nafta, iraq war, torture, healthcare, patriot act and said he would get this all done the second he was in office.

Only did 1 of those and not like how anyone expected, his portrait is hung in gitmo, we will be out of iraq- immediatly, 6 months, 12 months, 23 months, pending. Signed an extension of the patriot act and hasn't done shit about nafta.

herp derp he'll do all that in his second term guys.

>>924415

You're right, and it is because it is damn easy to criticise, but when you actually get in power, suddenly things are a lot harder. That said, the people who are criticising Obama now were cheering George Bush then, over exactly the same things. Most people are stupid hypocrites no matter which side of the fence you're on.

>>924464
Nobody was cheering Bush. He had like a 10% approval rate. Him and Cheney should have been assassinated publicly.

Then Obama comes and you liberals defend him to the death.

YOU are the hypocrites. Anyone who isn't a complete faggot voted for Ron Paul. You faggots troll him here "Oh he is a creationist" so fucking what? He would NEVER force it on you and would keep religion 100% out of politics.

But keep expanding government and entitlements, it is working well for Europe.

>>924491
Er, I voted for him and I think he's a raging douchebag.

>>924491

Keep your hair, Ron, I live in London. Hurrrr.

>>924491

Being a creationist says something about one's intelligence. Something real bad. Pick a better champion next time. I voted Nader, and I'm sure as shit a lot less homosexual that you, queer.

>>924415
>>924491
Wrong. The DEMOCRATS are defending Obama to the death. Liberals are pissed off because he fumbled health care reform and he isn't repealing the Bush insanity you mentioned.

Remember kids, not all democrats are liberals.

OP this post >>924699 is american politics in a nutshell. moron republicans and moron democrats screaming at each other like Sunnis and Shiites while the government fucks us over

Two right wing parties. Both are inferior to any mainstream European party.

>>924677
>>924491

Ron Paul isn't an actual "Creationist", nevermind a Young-Earth Creationist. Later he said that he didn't accept such explanations to human origin because he tought humanity would never know, and he was very upset that they were asking personal questions that didn't have anything with his policies and thus nothing to do with politics.

Ron paul is americas only hope

sarah palin? lol
obama? lie, lie, lie, lie

liberals hate america

>>924415
Lies. Why would liberals defend a conservative democrat like Obama? Clearly, the people you're talking to about this have no idea what a liberal is.

Republicans are the Dicks,
Democrats are the Pussies,
And Best Korea is assholes.

>creationist says something about one's intelligence. Something real bad.

not accepting the absurd idea that we somehow evolved out of dissolved rock in a pool of water struck by lightning some billions of years ago, is bad?

lol youmad.jpg

One party fucks you over civil liberties and the other fucks you over economics.

Hey, at least we have one more choice than North Koreans...

>>924902
a liberal is either an aging hippster college professor funded by the KGB during the cold war or a college student who believes them because they have their parents paying all the bills and don't know how the real world works.

Ron Paul is a faggot whose views are 200 years too old to be practical.

1. Never believe what anyone says about any party of which they are not a part.

2. Anything anyone says about their own party is to be taken with a grain of salt.

S'about all you need to know.

>>924415

SHOOT THEM

>>925032
hurr durr 13 trillion dollar debt came from center right polcies durr

>>925061
>Implying it didn't

Democrats: Gang of liberal Jews, idiot hipsters who care about stupid shit like global warming, and minorities as well as leftists who hate Christianity as well as the European race, and want to give illegals amnesty and hopefully citizenship, to speed up our demographic decline to further both their partisan and political goals.

Republicans: Gang of neocon Jews, idiot trailer trash and richfags who don't want to pay tax and/or want cheap Mexican semi-slave labour and aren't thinking/don't care about the long-term consequences for their party and country in the long term because they are greedy corporate assholes.

Both parties suck Jew/Israeli cock, hard.
