    Eh its a president's prerogative to choose which media outlets he speaks with.

    It's everyone's prerogative to choose which media outlets they speak with.
    I don't argue to be right, I argue to be proven wrong. Because I'm aware that the collective intelligence of the community likely has more to offer to me by enlightening me, than I do to an individual by "winning" an argument with them.

    Indeed, it's their right to speak with/through the media when, where, and how they choose. Slamming a candidate for not talking on X show or Y channel is just asinine.
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    I demand that Mittens and Bar Bar appear on the Daily Show to have a group discussion about the election with Jon Stewart!

    So they are idiots because they told the truth? The people backing Romney with all this money are the 1%'s? Trying to blame everything on Obama when it isn't his fault?

    Especially when Mitt Romney is avoiding all press as much as he can. And he's not even doing anything besides running for office.

He's a hideous hermaphroditical character with neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman. Murder, robbery, rape, adultery and incest will be openly taught and practiced, the air will be rent with the cries of the distressed, the soil will be soaked with blood and the nation black with crimes. Are you prepared to see your dwellings in flames? Female chastity violated? Children writhing on the pike?

    I'll take "secret Muslim" or "refuses to release tax returns" any day. heh.

    No, they're idiots because they used the term "one-percenters", which is only used by giant douches.
    And no, I'm not trying to blame a single thing on Obama. I actually like the guy.

    What makes them idiots and giant douches? Other than their size, what makes them so inadequate at washing and soaking?

    I understand the point. It's kind of like when Righties call illegal immigrants simply "illegals" to me. Just annoys me.

    I am going to be voting for Barack Obama in this election, he really has this country on the right track! Unlike far-right neo-fascist Nazis like Ron Paul and Gary Johnson who want nothing more than to subjugate the working class, Barack and his loyal socialist supporters, like myself, will fight to end suffering and inequality! Conservatives want nothing more than to endanger the people. They hide behind ideas like "freedom" and "choice," but those don't exist, in reality we are all nothing but slaves to the rich and to our own impulses.

    Conservatives think that freedom is more important than safety, but what good is freedom if you're dead? Freedom is just a made-up word that conservatives use to justify the dangerous world they live in. There is no logic behind freedom, all freedom does is increase the chance that someone could be hurt. The world is a dangerous place, and it's our job to band together and make it safe!

    For example, conservatives think people should drives cars! That's disgusting, cars are dangerous, we should get rid of cars cars and force the masses to use mass transit, which is far safer. Additionally, cars pollute the atmosphere and causes the planet to suffer, which in turn causes the masses to suffer. An added bonus to forcing the masses to use mass transit is that we can control where they go, this will prevent people from going to dangerous places that could result in them suffering. Is it not logical that we stop people from going to dangerous places?

    Conservatives want the masses to own guns! Guns are even more dangerous than cars, there is no reason for anyone to ever own a gun. All a gun does is make it easier for people to stop our great progressive movement and to cause suffering to others. Gun ownership self-defense will no longer be needed, since no human being will never cause any harm to another human being, we shall instill this idea into our children, make them think that guns are evil and that there is never going to be a need for self-defense. Is it not logical that we should eliminate an item from society that has the potential to cause harm?

    Conservatives hide behind their sports and their athletics, which are dangerous! Look at how many people are injured all of the time in their barbaric football and rugby? All sports are inherently dangerous, as they can result in suffering through accidents. The only good thing about sports is that it keeps the masses content and distracts their focus from our real agenda. As our great leader, Karl Marx, would have said: "sports are the opium of the masses." Is it not logical that we should get rid of these barbaric activities that only result in human suffering?

    However, banning dangerous activities isn't enough, we need to actively safe-proof the world around us. There are so many dangers even in one's home. Even a chair could be dangerous, if someone falls on it and hits their neck at a certain angle, it could cause a great deal of suffering, or even death (which in turn causes even more suffering). Everything needs to be safe-proofed, to ensure that no one could ever have an accident. In fact, would it not be logical to simply suspend everyone in a type of stasis chamber, where they will be unconsciously living out their fantasies in their minds, without harming people?

    The masses are such illogical creatures, they need someone like great leader Obama to tell us how to live our lives, he is America's only hope. If you believe as I believe, if you feel as I feel, then please, re-elect our great leader Obama in the coming months. Together, we can bring about a world free of pain, free of suffering, and free of immoral activities.

    I was going to respond with a rebuttal, but after rereading your comment I can only assume you're being satirical.

    It's a blatant troll post by a troll profile. He didn't even try hard.

    What I find odd is lumping Gary Johnson in with the conservatives.

    Don't give any part of that post even a remote sense of credibility. Don't assume it's serious, accurate, rational or in any way intelligent. Doing so gives it far more credit than it deserves (which is none).
