obviously this is the cherry-picked obama propaganda shit. but they are true, and imho, anyone for whom these things are true can't be 100% evil, and even 98% evil beats the other two.

okay. objectively, as a (somewhat) functioning human brain, mccain might have a higher efficiency rate due to the fact that he has not drowned himself in alcohol for 3/4 of his adult life.

however

mccain, like bush, is a staunch supporter of the "i dont care what the reality is, i know what my gut tells me is true" school of "thought." so why he is not inherently more retarded than bush, politically he amounts to the same thing. and he might even be worse, considering the fact that he has BEEN to war and has BEEN on the receiving end of human rights violations, and yet he STILL thinks along the same lines Bush does.

politically, obama has no chance. but he hasn't run his campaign according to the political rulebook, and he hasn't had politically expectable results. the main threat to an obama presidency is not mccain or the GOP in general, it's hillary and her quest for satisfaction of her personal lust for power.

for mccain, he better hope to christ that hillary wins the dem nomination, because he will beat her in a national election. after all they are both war hawks, they are both corporate goons, and they both have a habit of pandering to anybody who will listen to them during a campaign and then forget about them once they're in office. i know in that situation my vote for president will be a write-in for John Quincy Adams (4 MOAR YEARS!), but most people will pick mccain because he's more likable than hillary and more retarded than Bush.

You are a housewife. Every day you shop, you chop, you cook, you sweep, vacuum, wash, wax, dry, fold, tidy, discard. You bandage scraped knees, settle fights, make judgment calls. You do the best you can. You do what you can to earn your keep. And when your husband comes home, he sees only what you didn't do, or what you didn't do right.

Now imagine that instead of a house, it's your life.

And imagine that instead of a husband, it's you.

um, i think ur doin it wrong.

choosing people at random would be worse, because random schmucks would have no idea how to run a country or cooperate with other people. it's true that existing democracies are full of blowhards and powermongers, but to have a system that relied on choosing people selected randomly it would have to be so pre-defined as to eliminate the need for officials at all. the system would have to be designed so fine-tuned that the people selected amount to nothing but monkeys pushing a button. i guess you could govern a nation with a computer system, but not allowing for a human element would result in a whole host of terrible things, i'm sure, while maybe fixing a few corruption issues.

if you have to have an enormous, modern government, the best thing is to do what they already do but add a Ministry of Sabotage whose sole purpose is to go around messing up the government's ability to enforce the law.

can't be done. all discordians are at the very least nutjobs, and recent polls show 10-20% are also spammers.
