which one * if any * of the undermentioned scores the most votes for bullshit ?
Hillary Clinton
Mike Huckabee
Barrack Obama
Nitt Romney
"Nitt" Romney is right! lol
They only talk bullshit, because Americans love to hear empty platitudes about how their "democracy" is wonderful and inspiring. If it didn't work they wouldn't do it, the American public are just a bunch of simpletons who get their information from sensationalizing cable news pundits and partisan radio charlatans. And quite frankly, they know as much about the reality of American politics as they do the affairs on Mars.
Hear, hear. I am sorry with absolutely no knowledge as to how their democracy stacks up against other developed nations the American people are just asking to have their trust abused. They get exactly the government and the President they deserve. With Presidential voting hanging around 49% of qualified voters, it is a pitful excuse for a democracy.
The bunch to pick from is really disappointing, as I would guess it always is.
The whole system has (d)evolved into some national popularity contest, with similar rules to probably how they pick Homecoming king and queen.
Media plays far too prominent a role in picking the winner - that s*it would need to be canceled for a start - who in their right mind thinks it is ok for a TV company (owned by some corporate giant with a potential axe to grind) to be able to say who can and who cannot take part in a televised debate or mismanage the moderation to a point where some candidates are allowed to monopolise the available time?
And enough with wheeling Chuck Norris out every 2 seconds, Huckabee. He's a long-standing joke amongst young people, not some papal magnet - the poor man's Arnie, if you will.
