    Is that actually true? If it is, well shows you what an idiot for a President America had for all those years! Well we knew that, just didn't realise how much of an idiot he was if he can't even vote correctly!

    goater78 might have meant that, but as they are usually wrong they can safely be ignored.

    The quote "Same !!!!, different face" clearly meant who cares who won, they are both pretty much the same

    This is exactly what I meant

    Oh well. It says a lot that most people who've seen that picture haven't doubted it :D

    Interestingly while you could say that about uk politics. In America there are massive ideological differences between the two parties and the direction of America would have been very different if Romney had won.

    Therefore even though it has turned out your first comment wasn't as ridiculous as first thought, it's still not actually true!

    Is that as close as you get to admitting you were wrong - again.

    Youre right, smarty-pants. There are massive idealogical differences between the two parties (As indeed there are in UK politics).

    However, idealogical differences between political parties (Over here or stateside) matter not a jot when the parties actually deliver (when they get into power)

    For instance did Guantanamo Bay close when Obama was elected? What about the American Troops in the Middle East? Pulled out?

    Im so glad Obama won his first term... imagine if the republicans had got in and increased military spending and kept Gitmo ope- oh wait....

    An interesting, slightly NSFW article on some of the candidates. Makes interesting reading for the privileged people who kept denying the war on women existed.

    And also, here's one for the idiots who think we live in a post racial society.
