@Naznatips: I assume that was at me... Sorry if you thought I called Obama a terrorist. He isn't one. But he is(was) friendly with Bill Ayers... That is a truth spoken by Obama's own campaign.

Again Obama isn't a terrorist by any means.

Let's avoid terrorist accusations please... that road never ends well.

A road that will likely have a car bomb.

That wasn't a joke. It's a serious metaphor for how this can erupt into a flame war. I have some bad memories at the imdb boards over such things.

Personally, I think it's more important that America get someone who is willing to cross party lines and is capable of undoing Bush's mess into office than it is to elect a woman or black man just for the sake of doing something different.

If you believe in Obama or Hillary's politics, so be it. Vote for them. But to vote for them simply because it's "ground-breaking" and "progressive" is bullshit. Vote for the person you feel can do the job, color or sex be damned.


AMEN!!!! QFT!!!!! Rocketpig gets it! He gets it ladies and gentlemen! He understands the undertones of our country and the needs it has. WE don't agree on everything, but on this point I am solidly in his corner.


So, with that statement, you're assuming that all of Barack's supporters are voting for him only because he's black? Bullshit. I'm voting for him because, gee, guess what..HE'S THE MAN I FEEL CAN DO THE BEST. Color and Sex are damned when I form my opinions of who I want to vote for, and you might be shocked to learn that most voters work the same way.

 



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

Hooray for forming my opinion without asking for it! Thanks for putting words in my mouth.

But seriously anybody who votes for someone based on anything other than qualifications should not be voting. I am glad that you think he will do the best and that is why you are voting for him. But I do not believe he can accomplish what he wants to, or what the country needs. There are too many voters that vote for a party, not and a position.

The notion of voting for a President based on his opinion of video games is absurd

True. But no doubt his comment will only enhance his image, he's one of few (and probably the most notable) politician to not sound like fox news when he talks about games.

I may not be american and have no real say in their election, but I'd be really disappointed if Obama doesn't become the democrat candidate and then win the election. Not to be sexist or anything, but imo it's more important that America gets it's first non-white president. I know that there have been very notable Black leaders and even politicians (Dr. King and Mandela spring to mind) but they were obviously given alot of scrutiny and a lot of vilification. On the other hand there's been a few notable female leaders that haven't copped as much flack (Queen Elizabeth II, Prime Minister of NZL if she's still in office, not 100%).

Political rant over.


 I don't get that line of reasoning... I mean there are plenty of black world leaders around... using outside countries to decide what would be more historically imporant to America based on others world leaders seems silly.

I would say that sexism is a more prevelant and widely held belief then racism in ,modern day America.  Either way it's a silly reason to vote.

Of course since Hillary Clinton won't the election be about the issues i don't know anything about either democratic candiate other then Hillary planning to "annihlate Iran" if they do anything funny.
