Until the Democrats grow some balls, I must vote for Jill Stein.

Godzilla a.k.a. Gojiru is not a U.S. citizen.

Neither is C'thulu

ruveyn

Other....I don't think it will really make that much difference who we get, since they aren't in charge anyways.

C'thulu was born in Des Moines although eons before it was part of the U.S.

I lol'd, and I'm not just saying that. I really did.

<Intentional Bump>

Well, Mitt Romney has made his position known regarding 47% of the American People...

Don't forget to vote!

I think what Romney said is true, but probably not said in the best way.

The truth is that 47% of house holds pay no federal income tax.

I don't know who I"m voting for. I wont' vote for Obama. Not after all his assaults on liberties, and assaults on things that Bush did that he continues to do.

Romney I think has the business experience, but I worry that he will get derailed by vaginas and gays.

Green party, no way.

I like Gary Johnson but he won't win.

So he is only slightly more articulate than George W. Bush?
So what?
Doesnt mean that he isnt qualified!

His 47% comment is just nonsense.

A) It's largely created by Republican tax policies. Like the Bush and Reagan cuts. The number was in the 30s under Clinton. That's what happens when you slash rates and extend tax credits. You put more working people into the no federal income tax zone.

B) Most of them still pay payrolls taxes and state taxes. They may not even realize they arent paying the offficial income tax.

C) It benefits Democrats, Republicans and Independents. The 47% are not just entitled "obama voter" moochers lol. Romney is lying his a** off here. Many working class values voters in red states are taking advantage of it. It also includes the retired.

D) Why shouldnt working class and lower middle class voters take advantage of extant tax policy? Romney prides himself on using the tax law to escape as much tax as possible. What's happened is that in order to secure tax cuts for the wealthy and "starve the beast", they've handed out years of cuts and credits to the lower classes. Creating a larger no-income tax zone. Now Romney is coming around with a straight face and saying, "Hey, where'd you bums get all that tax advantage?". All while campaigning to get more tax advantage for his own class. In a red ink budget.

It was arrogant and ignorant all in one shot.

The 47% not pay income tax is true, but they do pay taxes. Here's a Forbes article discussing it.

Don't vote for you think will win, vote for who you believe in. A vote for a candidate you don't believe in is a wasted vote. How can this country call itself a democracy when its people can't vote for who they truly want in office? The only way this system can change is if people take a stand. You might not get what you want the first time around but if you consistently stand up for yourself, people follow. We see it now as the Libertarian Party and the Green Party are on the rise.

Personally, I've decided that I'm going to vote Jill Stein of the Green Party. She discussed the problems I had with the Green Party's platform at Reddit's IAmA (link) (it's where anybody can ask the op anything. Better the question, the more its upvoted and the more the op has to answer). She discussed her stance on alternative medicine and nuclear power too. She's not going to win, but at least I'll cast my vote honestly.

And if anyones interested, here is Obama's IAmA (he only answered 10 questions. It was lame) and here is Gary Johnson's IAmA.

How do we know Godzilla isn't an American Citizen?

Perhaps he was born in Hawai after US nuclear testing?

In that case, I'd need to see his birth certificate.

The Green party burned me when Rosanne Bar ran and suggested that law abiding gun owners deserve to be in jail.

He was born beneath the waves of the Pacific near _ I believe- Saipan right after an American nuclear test. Which is how got to be the mutant lizard that he is.

The island was under US occupation at the time. So you would have a kind of gray zone-foriegn soil under US control. Kinda like the Panama Canal Zone. Which happened to be the birthplace of presidential hopeful John McCain.

Why is it no one puts the human candidates' birth location in doubt? Why is it always the giant reptiles that have to provide birth certificates?
