TOP 6 REASONS WHY OBAMA DESERVES YOUR VOTE:

  1. Independent Human Rights investigation of Obama and NATO crimes against humanity in Libya. Obama gave orders to bomb this city: http://humanrightsinvestigations.org/2011/10/11/sarkozy-cameron-obama-al-thani-and-the-suffering-of-the-children-of-sirte/

  2. Fact check: Romney vs Obama: who lies more? -- quite similar. http://www.factcheck.org/barack-obama/ http://www.factcheck.org/tag/mitt-romney/

  3. Top 20 recipients of Wall Street Funds: http://www.opensecrets.org/industries/summary.php?ind=F07&cycle=All&recipdetail=M&sortorder=U Historically, which party receives more from Wall Street? http://www.opensecrets.org/industries/summary.php?ind=F07&cycle=All&recipdetail=A&sortorder=U

  4. An interesting perspective by Noam Chomsky: --Noam Chomsky on the State-Corporate Complex: http://chomsky.info/talks/20110407.htm

  5. Noam Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQhEBCWMe44

  6. Noam Chomsky on why Obama is worse than Bush: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mA4HYTO790 and Obama's imperilstic policies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiwAFIgGCkQ

If knowing this and you still settle to choose between a false dichotomy, you have lost all OWS credibility. Nothing will change if you're ok with the status quo.

Sorry for the misleading title.

You post this crap with a deceptive title and then talk about false dichotomies. I'm no huge fan of Obama's, but Republicans have done far more to drag down America and the middle class in the last 30 years than any of the Democrats. And judging from what I've seen of the Republitard candidates, you're just going to have to suffer through 4 more years of Obama.

and if you're for the Robin Hood tax, you should back up guys like Bill Gates.

If you want someone to end corrupting influence, then vote GOP's Buddy Roemer.

If you want all the troops home including any of the 1000s of U.S. contractors that will be left in Iraq or the 10s of thousands of troops that'll be reallocated ouside its borders, then vote for GOP's RonPaul or Democrats' dennis kucinich

If you're for universal public health care, then support Dennis or Ralph Nader.

Most others are mere puppets or liars.

If you still settle for the status quo and the establishment like Obama, then I have to say is that this little girls' injury is on your hands then: http://www.youtube.com/verify_controversy?next_url=http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch%3Ffeature%3Dplayer_embedded%26v%3D4R3sFvy1zGg

I see you haven't looked into your candidates and it's people like you who are the reason why the status quo isn't being changed.

Action speaks louder than words. Did you even click on any of the links.

[-] 1 points by HitGirl (2263) 12 years ago

Yes I did, and I can counter each one, or at least eclipse it with a Republicon atrocity. You are a decepticon and your links are weak. A word of advise: don't trick people into looking at your crap. It just makes you that less credible.

Force Change, Boycott Capitalism

We know what the problem is, let us fix it and move forward together.

When you look at a republican or democrat, congress or FDA official, Judges and Justice Department, you see criminals.

Our corruption dates back many years to when those, who in trying to preserve slavery, had to find new ways to preserve it and so created a scientific and advanced form of slavery.

Only two components were required -- the illusion of freedom & choice and the taking away of the freedom to live off the land.

This is how to get people to submit themselves to exploitation, mind numbing or degrading work, fool and oppress them into it.

Our current system is rooted in corruption and every attempt in preserving it involves manipulating human thought and turning people against one another.

In America the population has been transformed into two major voting groups but they only have one choice.

They had been distracted up until now with television and American culture which prospered through the oppression of other nations.

Americans allowed themselves to be fooled into using their military and economic dominance to seize resources of other nations and create expanding markets for American profiteers.

Now that technology, competition and conscience have evolved Americans are realizing that our current system of government is damaging and unsustainable.

Our government officials have allowed private profits and personal benefits to influence decisions that affect the health and well-being of people all over the planet, not just in America... how much longer will we allow them to rule over us??

Occupy Washington and demand that government officials resign their posts.

We will setup new online elections with a verification system that will allow us to see our votes after we cast them, put our new officials in office and work toward rebuilding our country and our world.

Pass this message along to any and everyone, we already occupy the world, unite.

Occupy Washington, Boycott Capitalism, Force Change -- http://wesower.org

[-] 1 points by jjpatrick (195) 12 years ago

Who's Ron Lawl again? lol j/k. I hope OWS moderators aren't suppressing people's voices in here. It's kind of hypocritical.

I've had 5 screen names banned and 3 IP addresses. All movements are a joke. I was originally on board now it is a joke to me. The street protests are carnivals for the 1%. They are wanting the media to show more on tv for their laughing pleasure.

So, why do you want to continue the madness? Stop shooting yourselves in the foot and vote for Ron P. he wants to End all the wars, the drug war and The Federal Reserve. Why is it such a hard thing to understand. The war is our main problem. Always has been.

[-] 1 points by jjpatrick (195) 12 years ago

Again, who's Ron Lawl?

Are you fucking nuts?

Help is needed. Need help making a t-shirt. We need to draw a picture of Zooccotti Park with a cage around it. Here are some ideas: Draw a hippie climbing the cage like a monkey and throwing shit.
Draw a hippie rolling in mud and shit like a pig.
Draw a hippies fucking like dogs.
Draw a picture of a hippie eating peanuts like a big fucking elephant. Draw a hippie as a lazy fucking Ape doing nothing.
