but he used his real name. You guys still don't think that's suspicious? That he made himself easily identifiable, easily trackable, and easily filmed.... To answer your other post, you don't think honolulu is us soil? |
No... because, like I said, all it would take is a cursorary check to find someone out to be a fraud.
Like a reporter could do it in half a day... and then they'd have a HUGE story that'd probably win them some investigative award and get a big raise.
As for the other post, you could get a shorthand birthcertificate that says honolulu even if you weren't born there simply by saying as much.
Hence why releasing of the hospital or deliverer would be key.
All you'd need to get a shorhand birthcertificate one to that says Honolulu is to go into a hospital with a baby like a couple months old and say "He was born here."

It's just surreal to me how many people fixate on the tea party or Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck (neither of whom holds office at the moment) more than they do the people who are actually running the show. For Christ's sake, the entire Democratic platform this year seems to be, "The Tea Party is fucking crazy! (Also, George W. Bush!)" Expecting cogent, well-articulated platforms from a large and organic mass movement like the Tea Party (I guess it's not Astroturf after all!) is just unrealistic. "You spent too much money" isn't a bad theme, though, IMO. |
That's probably why the democrats are 10 points behind the republicans on the generic "Which party would you vote for" gallup poll.
The largest it's ever been in like the 50 Years of the poll running. Of course, luckily for the democrats, you can't just run blind like that. I remember when "Any democrat" would of crushed Bush... unfortunitly, any democrat, couldn't crush him... because they were all less palatable then your generic democrat.
The future is going to be in people who were never politicians.

I hope so. But, I mean, wasn't barack not a politician?


Oh, and for what it's worth... as far as people thinking Obama is a Muslim.
It's not like that's a republican only thing. Afterall the very first people who were caught calling Obama a Muslim bent on destroying america were Aids for Hillary Clinton's campaign.
People just think he's a muslim... for whatever reason. Or at least say that.
I mean, when his bigest negative problem in the campaign was the whole Jeriamiah Wright thing... and his general way of speach giving evokes a lot of biblical imagery.
Honestly, Obama's probably one of the most christian presidents we've ever had in terms of conviction and belief. Apparently he communicates with his religious advisor EVERY DAY.
How many people do that?

Pretty much, and it worked perfectly for him.
He spent a few years in legislature, made extra sure to stay faaaar away from any controversial vote.
Then parlayed that into becoming president.
Then he inacted a lot of unpopular legislation... I mean, hey it can only get you so far.

I prefer people who rule a country and decide what's best for it not to be politicians. Why? Because for someone to be a politician they had to actively desire and want that power. I highly, HIGHLY doubt even 5% of the people in washington actually give a shit about the population, they jsut care about their own personal selves. If they cared about the general safety, lobbyism would have been outlawed decades ago.
The best people who are in power are the ones who don't give a damn whether they were in power or not, they won't have their judgements clouded by money and power in any way and maybe that will help them pass better legislation that is actually in the interest of people.

Personally, I think Obama gives off the impression that he is very superficiality Christian; and for some people (like myself) they would assume that this is probably because he is non-religious but needs to be Christian to be politically successful, and for others it is an indication that he is a Muslim.

It's not like you can outlaw all Lobbyism... that would basically make it impossible for anyone to give an oppinion.
I do agree though that most politicans don't care about people and care more about just having power.
However, I think that's always going to be the case. Even WITH outsiders winning elections. It's just going to be outsiders who want power mostly for powers sake. After like 5-10 years, everyone who wants to be a poltician would just get jobs in fields that seem to produce the most elected officials.
We aren't a small city like rome so it's not like we can just pick names out of hats to be politicians and just give them a year to study before they take on the job.
