To the American people please forgive me for my ignorance but...

LOLLL this is, for those who dont know, a sarcastic respond to a previous thread about UK .. 

I fail to see how a topic like this is still around.  It seems like it was created for the sole purpose of getting people worked up...

A new way to troll- act foreign!

Anyone notice in his first and third posts he acts foreign and in his second post he says "we elected him" as if he is an American...

...Zing?

Wow, this garnered more attention than it was worth, methinks

Kaos your pissing off the Americans, run to Canada with me!

Most of the American voting population are conservative in nature.  Only when they get completely fed up with the status quo, do they swing in the other direction.  After 7 years of war and the depressing decline of the economy, they went the other way this past November.  Additionally, they also tend to cast their votes based on how comfortable they are with the state of their household finances.  When President Bush was elected to a second term, the majority of Americans were okay with the state of their pocket books.  This is the "if it ain't broke, don't fix with it" adage in action.  If a few years from now, the economy is in recovery and people feel good about their futures, the President Obama will get re-elected.  If it is still in the toilet, then he will be replaced by a new Republican candidate.  Issues outside of the average family's pocket book don't carry that much weight to the greater voting population.  They make for nice talking points on cable TV, but hold little sway overall.  Some topics, such as abortion and gun control solidify the base of each party, but those people are always going to cast their vote in that direction anyway.  You will rarely find controversial platforms jumping across party lines, and so, it's less a question of winning people to your candidate's side as it is getting the people you know would vote for your candidate if they could off their asses and to the polls. That is where liberals have failed in the past.  Most young people have views that closer aligned with the Democratic Party, however many of them don't bother to vote when the day arrives.  That means that elections are decided by an older population because they chose to vote. 

Lol you fucking Brits.

i like how he claims its a serious question. 

Come on Kaos...don't start politics here.  We all know politics are nothing more than high school rally's - just people saying what others want to hear.  We don't need it said again on a place meant to get away from it all.

if we vote for a king or queen, we would be doing something in this country that we were trying to get away from when "we" left europe in the first place....but we are they longest running democracy i think ever? i might be wrong, Rome might have been longer....but what we do works i guess

We don't elect our Presidents by there IQ score 0_0
Its also not a very smart idea to switch Presidents in the middle of a war.

My favorite part about the past elections was the large number of conservative people I know claiming to be all ready to move to Canada if/when Obama was elected.

If you did your homework, you'd know the Bush won the first time because Bender zapped all of Gore's votes.

JFK saved US from Cuba?

just...wtf

Anybody who digs a bit deeper knows that politicians don't run their country. As far as policy goes, all the bullshit that Bush wrought is still going. Obama is just as much a liar and a puppet as any other politician. 

I would much rather live in a country ruled by an old woman, who was not elected but born into duty.

@Equal_Opportunity_Destroyer497: I dare you to find a country that is not like that.

These topics are getting old and ridiculous now.

oh god new world order everone run for the hills lol
