You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.
- Lincoln

Just once will you use your own words to form your thoughts and opinions? Despite all evidence to the contrary, I believe that some way, some how it's possible.
C'mon. I'll give you a cookie.

Still can't come up with an original thought, Black Board?
EDIT: Oh, I didn't see your post, Tiamat. I think you're giving him way too much credit.

I dont know if you guys actually watched that video, but it was made for a ten year old audience. It was designed for people niave enough not to know most of that stuff already. If your gonna throw propaganda at me, at least have it have some creative value.

Damn smart 10 year olds. Smarter than most of the nation for understanding all that. If all 10 year olds are that smart, Id rather have a 10 year old be president than Obama.
If youre gonna post against something, atleast explain why. Cause right now it just sounds like you dont have any counter arguments and just wanted to say something so that we think your smarter than 99.9% of the nation.
I personally agree with everything said. I hope that the news gets ahold of this video and starts debating about it. Ohh, better yet. Glen Beck.

Im sick of people saying 'who' and 'what' but not 'why' or 'how'. If you have an opinion, back it up. Youre on writersforum for gods sake. Write more than 6 words.

It's entirely possible that people have realized that arguing about politics and trying to alter the convictions of someone with a solidly preconceived opinion is as pointless as pretending that any one politician or party is any more or less corrupt and compromised than another.
There, that was 45 words. Does that make my opinion more legitimate than someone else's?

Quite a bit. And I agree, but there are lots of people who are on the edge and dont know what to believe, or who to vote for.
When it comes to stuff that Im not sure about, I often just pick the side Im leaning too and defend it. I listen to what the other side has to say to see if maybe I didnt pick the right choice. Im a very persuadable person.
