Wow @halogamer1989 - comparing progressive, liberal, democratic politicians to facicsts...

"Liberal fascism" - hilarious!

Personally, I have no doubt that the next US president will be Democratic. I would be surprised if McCain wins, but who knows.

Although I think Obama will make it in the end (he's much more a symbol for change than Clinton), I always wonder - from my distant European view - where all the Clinton hate comes from. Is it because people don't like her political ideas, because she's a Clinton or because she's a woman? I tend more and more to the latter one.

From gamers, her stance on laws on games sold to minors, has been twisted into her wanting to ban M rated games. 



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Now its about damn time! Way to go McCain. Anyway, the Dem turnout is based on sad pretense due to Bush admin. What Dem. voters dont realize is that they are supporting progressives. Do some research on that and its link to early fascism in the 20th century not that I's saying Hillary or Obama are Hitlers but their doctrine is based on big gov't, state-based economic policy, etc.

Have a good night!

Uhm.. I think you should learn a bit more about history. Mussolini, Hitler and Franco were all right-wing dictators and the Bolsheviks were left-wing. Totalitarianism can come from either side.

Agreed, both McCain and Clinton are promising totalitarianism lite and that is what most voters want.

McCain is very appealing to me as a moderate. I didn't want the US to goto Iraq but we are there and McCain has been very pragmatic his whole career; though he did support the war.

I am sure whoever we elect it will be much better than Bush.

 Also, all three are against torture and wire-taps that would be less totalitarian lite than our current administration.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Bottom line
fascism is extreme right
socialism is extreme left.



"Back off, man. I'm a scientist."

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.

i so didnt see this coming /sarcasm

now Obama needs to win

Why? What is Obama going to do for the country?

I am not against him, I just have not figured out why everyone is for him. He speaks well, and rallies the people well, but he does it while saying nothing.

He says "We need change, and I am here to bring change." Cool. what change? When he tells me what he plans to do, I might then agree with you.

Clinton - "Satan"
Clinton & Obama - "fascists"
Clinton & McCain - "totalitarianism lite"

Some real strange comparisons in this thread. Whoever of these three will be the next US president, one thing is sure: No one of them will take away your democratic rights.

 McCain not only recently voted for torture but he urged push to support torture.  Although, he changes his positions so much it is hard to keep up.

Hes 70 years old, that is really fucking scary to me. Most 70 year olds I have known do not have their shit together in their head. Cognitive skills/memory and stuff like that starts diminishing during peoples late 40's for some. I know regan was 70 when elected, but I am still weary of such an old person being in charge of the country.

I hate to say it but the majority of old people suck.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.
