    It has to do with this guy and his accusations against Obama. Whether it's true or not, I doubt we'll ever know.

    Who gives a fuck?

    Most politicians in Canada have admitted to sexual escapades and drug use. Meh. But what is the point? You never know who you are electing???

    That's what I say. And no matter who is put in office, they always have a good amount of dirt on them. That's the way the REAL controllers want it, so if they step out of line, they can simply pull some skeletons out of the closet and have them destroyed politically.

    Yeah.... that or they are actually descendants of the human being variety.

    I have never met a person who didn't have dirt on them. Have you?

    Not really. I have also met few people that have the amount of dirt most prolific politicians have on them, and, unlike your average joe, these people are making important decisions for large numbers of people. Politicians SHOULD be the upstanding "leaders" that the gullible believe them to be. However, most of them are anything but.

    Eh? They are human.

    People elect people. It is my opinion that mice should elect mice. I wouldn't vote for Saint Mother Theresa if my life depended on it. Can you really trust a saint?

    My point is, the 'OMG Obama has sex and does drugs' card is a lame duck. Leaders, politicians, people with authority are human beings before they are ever assigned to fit into a cookie-cutter role of the model upstanding citizen they must be in order to guide and lead their people. It's asking too much from people to be sinless, and I think you take it to extreme in this case.

    In my opinion, people who send young men and women off to die in wars and make decisions that negatively affect millions of people are not human. They are parasites. They might be human in the physical sense, but many of them have all the hallmarks of psychopaths. Is Dick Cheney human? I guess. He has arms and legs, and maybe he has a heart. Other than that I see no human characteristics coming from the man. The man is a deviant in the purest sense of the word.

    I could really not care less about Obama's sex life. I am not making an issue of it. All I need to do is look at the people who are backing and promoting Obama, which is people like Zbigniew Brzezinski and the Rockefellers. It's clear to see who the man will be taking his orders from if elected (or rather SELECTED). He is a PUPPET, like nearly every other president has been.

    Well, I disagree. People who make bad choices in my opinion deserve to be stripped of their power if need be, but I don't think they are parasites or psychopaths for justifying sacrifice.

    So people like Hitler and Stalin simply made bad choices? They justified sacrifice because they actually cared about the people, rather than being of a criminal, psychopathic mindset and actually loving death?

    I never said that. Wait, you are asking two questions there.

    Mkay. People make bad choices. Whether you are Hitler, Obama, Stalin or Paul: all people make bad choices. The degree of the bad choice certainly has more cause for weight and measure. In my opinion, ordering a widespread massacre is a slightly more bad choice than doing drugs and have sex.

    I think people in a position of power have every right to be stripped of their power, especially if they were elected by the people that put them there. However, I believe that elected officials deserve to have an equal and justifiable right to be in the position of power based on the assumption of legitimacy from most of the people who elected the person.

    The idea that people have a right to be wrong about their leaders, is a legitimate concept that I accept. However I don't think people in positions of power should have absolute rule or any such thing. I would much rather see people make a few bad choices with a dash of sacrifice than see bad people make every choice, without any sense of legitimacy.

    Capisce?
