And you are surprised by this stuff? I'm not - it is the norm, and it just gets sillier and more pathetic with each election. Pretty much why I chose International Relations as my area of focus for my major instead. American politics is one big, nasty train wreck.
Obama is the lesser of two evils, but I don't vote for any evils - be they lesser or greater. I suppose under another Obama term that Medicare/Medicaid, pell grants, women's reproductive, healthcare rights and economic security, will last a bit longer, and perhaps delay a war with Iran. But all roads lead to austerity, and ultimately fascism, just one faster than the other. So what is it going to be, gentleman? A complete Republican/Tea Party summary execution, or Democratic victory and death by a million little cuts? Take your pick.
@eppie, I don't want ANY nation to be a superpower. It doesn't matter if its America, China, or whoever - it is all bad.
