Also I genuinely feel sorry for you if you are wasting time watching a presidential debate, there are much better ways to waste time. *SPOILER ALERT* Obama and Romney are the same thing, sorry if that ruined the next four weeks of suspense for you. But you can start calling it Obamney, that's a fun word combo right?

Maybe I am just dumb, but can somebody please explain to me how Romney and Obama are fighting under the same platform? Yes Romney used to have a more moderate stance on things, but after he was put through the circus show that is the GOP, he completely flopped. Obama has some far out there ideas too so don't get me wrong about that, but when a major pillar of a political party is teaching creationism in schools then you have to wonder how useful that party can be.

Generally I believe in a more free market than what Obama is prescribing, but the GOP has its own nose so far up its ass it doesn't even know which way is north. To say they are both the same just seems rather ignorant or dismissive. I want to know more about such a stance since I have never heard it before though so please educate me(and for once I am not being sarcastic).

It is a lazy and derivative model, espoused by those without enough intellectual curiosity to know better.

Copping out by adopting an unrealistic ethos like libertarianism is just self-perpetuating your disenfranchisement. Yes, the current cycle is dominated by an unprecedented amount of money from corporate and private interests--but it is all we've got. Removing yourself from relevance through libertarianism is self-indulgent, Pyrrhic masturbation--at best.

There isn't always a perfect option. That's kinda life.

Obama and Romney both report to Big Finance and other major Corps. Both will have an equal inefficiency resulting in zero actual change for the better. Both will perpetuate American debt slavery and another lost decade. My conclusion being that they are the same due to results being the same for either one being elected...

Makes me lazy and lacking intellectual curiosity. Makes sense bro.

PS - US Debt to GDP now 103% and rising 1.5% per month, total debt now 16.159T. Lets get this party started! I love QEternity it helps me buy more iThings.

You're throwing the baby out with the bathwater, kiddos.

I found this really cool game online, The Federal Reserve actually made it too.

You get to be the Chairman. For maximum fun use their current policy of zero interest rates for 5+ years straight. I didn't finish yet but I think it results in everything working out great.
