More from agouti-rex
Four years ago I demystified politics for furries with MY GUIDE TO POLITICAL CANDIDATES FOR FURRIES (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1684709/). Now that an election year is upon us again, it's time to learn about your new choices. This handy guide will help you understand who you're voting for. As you can see, I've cleverly turned all the candidates into animals so that you can think about politics for five minutes without getting distracted by thoughts of dragon dick.

Well it's the lesser of all evils quiz, and if I was an American, I'd vote for Ron Paul. >_> At least He's politically consistent, and he's the only one that doesn't terrify me as much as the other candidates. >.< Thanks Agouti-Rex for helping me make an informed decision on why I'm glad I'm not an American, like my immigrant relatives.
"UNITED STATES CITIZENS- The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States."
The devil is in the details. In this case, the emboldened. American citizens can be, but it is simply not required.

But look on the bright side: The one percent FEARS the Occupy movement. They even got to the point of saying "Leave us alone!" And I know why. They are afraid of us because they are afraid of anything that does not have a price tag...like courage, willpower and determination. We have it in surplus. They have it in shortage.
I don't see Occupy going anywhere... Looks like more of a public nuisance to me, and my opinion didn't go up when I met the OWS guys who came down to Ft. Meade for a Brad Manning protest. They showed up rambling like mental patients, dressed like clowns, begging for money, throwing trash around, trying to hijack the protest, getting aggressive with police, and generally shitting all over us. They don't have my support, and they're not getting it until they convince me that they themselves want to take individual responsibility for the community, and not just tell other people to do it.
In the 50s there were crazy rightwing fringe groups who accused President Eisenhower, a decorated WWII hero, of being a Communist spy and claimed fluoride in the water and Hollywood movies made you queer. Now, rightwingers every bit as crazy are running for President themselves.
Now that you've thrown out the challenge, I await with baited breath to see if anyone draws a Mitt Rony. What would his "cutey mark" be? A dollar sign, or is that too obvious? How about a pork barrel. I know! That giant statue of the angel "Moron" that stands in Salt Lake City!
Like many people, I once hoped better from Obama. I still didn't vote for him. You Americans have an absurd prejudice about Canadians voting in your elections... All the same, I expected Obama would be unable to make fundamental changes to the way America runs -- the levers are all rusted up and don't work any more. It would have taken a president more like Roosevelt, who could have stood up to Congress, told them what they were going to do, and when he expected it to be done. Obama was more the sort of many who was like Woody in Tory Story, who wanted to have a big meeting and work out a compromise. He never realized that he was dealing with people who could play that game to their advantage, using Obama's compromising to water down change (on the one hand), then stonewall change by refusing to compromise themselves. Each decision reached is another step down the road to exactly what the Republicans want, and only what the Republicans want.
Still, I'm sorry to say that, not expecting very much, Obama has still disappointed me. But, if I were one of you, I'd still line up to vote for him. I mean... what's the alternative? A president who believes in the coloring book version of Christianity -- made up so recently that the steam engine is older?
Re: Newt. You need to change "life" to "wife." Seriously. In an otherwise impeccable piece of political farce, you don't want a typo to spoil it all!

This is all well and good. But no drawing can capture how truly crazy Michelle Bachman looks, you need to see her in person. No, I haven't seen her in person, her photographs are scary enough. But I HAVE seen Newt Gingrich in person. His head isn't as big as it looks on TV. XD
A facefull of argon and glass splinters does seem a tad nicer than a facefull of vaporised mercury and glass splinters as far as incandescent light bulbs go - to me at least. There is also the issue of wasting rare earth elements on the shoddy electronic starter units which the cfls need, not to mention the poor working conditions for the people who have to mine these elements in countries like China.
Of course someone like Bachmann wouldn't use such pinko, tree-hugging arguments for the propagation of the Heatball which will save you several cents you'd otherwise spend on heating in winter ;P

Such a lovely field of failure. Obama will win, either because the GOP will put forth one of their more insane of the bunch, or there will be some vote grabbing offshoot like Newt or Perry. I'm kind of surprised Santorum is still even running considering he's so bonkers atop of not really being a politician anymore. If Pennsylvania doesn't want him anymore, who does?
I'll probably either vote for the same person as last time (nobody) or write in Paul, not because I care about Ron Paul's policies, but just because it helps statistics to see a third party candidate get a decent chunk of votes. Let's people know they can vote for people who aren't propped up by one of the two brain dead parties.

I'll tell you who's fault the current state of American politics is. It's my fault.
It's also your fault, and his fault, and her fault, every damn American's fault. But I feel most responsible for the joke that is our government. See, I can control my own actions (to some degree...) yet I have never voted, don't really research candidates, and in fact pretty much hate world news the same way that small children hate vegetables. I could shout, scream and demand to forever end the reign of campaign contributions, electoral votes and other bullshit. But I don't, so I won't.
Please be a better person than me.

As crazy as he is on some issues, the sad truth is that if Ron Paul isn't in the race then the choice boils down to the candidate who wants more wars, vs. the candidate who wants more wars. It's hard to predict who will win, but it will most likely be Obama, most likely by default.
Vote Obama.
Not because he is a good candidate, but because literally every other candidate is worse to the point where it's a choice between "bad" and "holy fuck why would you do this".
Also if you vote third-party you literally are either a hipster or do not realize that the party system has been buttfucked beyond fixing by corporate backing. Third parties will literally never ever win the presidency as long as the Republican and Democrat party have that mad cashflow going. Forget this whole "Oh, maybe if we band together we can win this like we're some sort of plucky teen minority". It will never happen.
Well, that's my story

I played a drinking game every time there was a Republican debate...
~When Michelle Bachmann said 'Obamacare', I took a shot
~When Herman Cain mentioned his 9-9-9 plan, I took a shot
~When Rick Perry bragged about reading a book, I took a shot
~Any time Romney used his silver tongue to cleverly insult another Republican on the stage, I took a shot
~Santorum mentioning anything regarding some bull-shit image of the 1950s (When men were men, and homes were built using asbestos), I took a shot
~Newt was too boring to take a shot
~I took a shot for Ron Paul as soon as the debate started, because I knew that was the best we could do and I did not want to enter the future sober... >.>

I love everything about this picture with a huge exception being about nearly everything you said about Ron Paul. Ron Paul is not an ostrich, he is a fucking Eagle, and furthermore he is not a statist piece of shit like Obama or any of the Republicans who are all bought and paid for by Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. The fact that he is the only real candidate is the reason why the mainstream media will not cover him, but that doesn't matter because he's getting the delegates anyway, so we may have a Ron Paul presidency just yet. And furthermore Ron Paul talks about the NDAA all the FUCKING Time.
