I'm not sure how the hell PA got on the toss-up list after voting Democratic five times in a row. It occurs to me that they might not want to publish a map that says "Hey, Obama already has enough to win!" though.
That's basically what it comes down to. It's in the interest of the media to keep the race 'close'. If it isn't, they can just put states into the 'tossup' column until it is.
It's like how the recent 'close' race in Alberta between the Progressive Conservatives and the Wildrose Party ended up PC-61 WRP-17.
I can't wait till it starts making the rounds on my conservative friend's facebook posts....
I managed twenty seconds before I had to stop myself punching my monitor. Not so much the message as it(only 20 seconds of it), but the messenger.
Speaking as a member of the arrogant entitled white male douchnozzle community, we do not make good spokesperson for this kind of ad. Even in the worst of times, we got it better then anybody else.
Having that arrogant entitled white douchnozzle critiquing anybody, lessens the message.
Was he pro Obama or Romney? Romney right?
There is so much wrong with that video that it isn't even worth rebutting. So, good response choice.
No, I am not really communist. Yes, it is weird that I use this name.
Neither?
I think it is either pro-china and/or anti-america.
Didn't really get much other than that from it.
You laugh now, but wait until I get the rights to the Sun. I will charge everyone for use of its energy. Men, women, children, plants.

$5 for a tan or photosynthesis.
$2 for vitamin D production and every kilowatt of power transferred to electricity.
And if you don't pay....

I'm guessing by those comments and the amount of likes that video has that America is on board for free market capitalism.
Why is it almost always an upper middle class American white guy saying something like "the government has made us slaves", when they are objectively one of the most privileged individuals to have ever existed in the history of the human race.
Hell, if you made a scale that covered every person just in fucking North America today, and ranked them in order of quality of life, "upper middle class white American" would be so far up the scale as to be touching the end of it.
If faith is just a silent tribute, mine is just a desperate act.

The amusing thing of course is that other than a few false crisis he mentions about bureaucracy and hypocrisy regarding spending I actually support most of those policies. With minimal cuts, a change in music and tone, and even minimal changes to the dialogue I could put out the same video with the same points and say "If I wanted America to succeed"
The problem is that the media is in kind of a quantum state in which by simply reporting news about the election they influence its outcome.
Ergo, in the event that one side seems to be poised for landslide victory, if the media either reduces their coverage (due to a belief that the outcome is unchangeable) or actively reports a belief that the election is virtually resolved, it could easily be argued they are encouraging lower turnouts on both sides.
Thoughts?
Was hoping for some collaboration here. I need a sad animal story where something we did to them adversely affected them in a real way. Also the rapid fire bullshit after that part was disorienting. I'll try to approach it again later if nobody else has any input. I just want to see this get done, fight fire with fire.
I'm a fan.

Probably put in something about puppy mills.
Or those shrimp without eyes in the gulf coast, probably from the BP oil leak. But shrimp are ugly, and people love puppies. Except republicans, who are pro-puppy mill, anti-puppy.
That's definitely awesome, almost exactly what I imagined. You just need to stay BANG on to their timing and make the points as close of possible to theirs but with a dash of actual truth which turns them instantly into good things. Oh, and get someone either much less annoying, or VASTLY more annoying to do it (comic effect).
So, Natalie Portman or the Monopoly Man
You don't even need that. You can use their EXACT story.
"We'd make sure to safeguard things that can't be replaced, the things that make this a beautiful country for future generations and we would consider the true cost of uncontrolled logging."
OWLS IN DANGER!
"We'd teach people that if you can never get something back, it's worth erring on the side of caution. That cheap paper isn't worth the sacrifice of Americas wilderness"
OWLS ACTUALLY BEING EATEN BY BIGGER OWLS
Most Americans don't even know what the word means
What the GOP espouses isn't anything remotely exhibiting Free-Market Capitalism.
A more apt term would be something like, "Oligarchic Anarcho-Capitalism," where the only objective is too grow corporate revenues in any manner possible.
Upvoted.
Good luck, though, r/politics is basically about drugs and how much Obama sucks.
Yeah, after watching the guy that said "If I wanted America to fail I would elect either Paul or Romney." get six downvotes in 5 minutes I realized it might not be the best place. I don't really go in r/politics. I stick to netsec and malware mostly, mostly. I thought it'd be a more liberal place because not a single redditor I know are conservative, and most of them are all up on Obama's dick!
I'll continue working on it here later even if it fails to get traction there. I think it is definitely something worth doing.
A few minor changes
Forget them, what about this Boxer Rebellion I heard of in heathen China? They're kicking all the Christians out! We need the Chinese to make our cheap shit, but they have to listen to good Christian folk to know what the hell they're doing!

Probably at his mosque, eating dogs. Again.
Changes updated to Reddit copy, thanks.
And where was Obama when the Japanese bombed pearl harbor, the state he is "supposedly" from? Probably taking pictures of the planes as they flew over China before dropping bombs on the U.S. Manchurian Candidate indeed.
Mitt Romney -
America faces no greater threat today than the past, as President I pledge to put an end to yesterday! To order our generals to engage in multiple theaters across the past and prevent state funded past-terrorists from having ideas and concepts which threaten American liberty today. Rogue states such as the Holy Roman Empire, Greater Norway, and the Mongolian Empire have too long been a thorn in America's side while hiding behind the so called 'fundamental laws' of cause and effect and entropy. I say that fundamentalism has been a problem for too long, and that as a Christian nation we cannot allow the laws of science to prevent us acting on our best moral principles!
