Don’t get me wrong; Mormons are always nice people. It’s a coincidence probably, but it’s true. Does that immediately qualify the Mormon faith for office? Not without proof that you’re not very serious about it. There are 0 facts in this video:
“Freedom requires religion, just as religion requires freedom.” - Complete Fucking Psycho
This horseshit brand of neo-new age backward talk has no place in government. He wants to reword his way to the White House all of a sudden on the Eloquence Express 101 Line. There shouldn’t be an acknowledgment of god in the public domain, Mitt. That’s not public business. Those are the rules. If elected, it would be part of your job to enforce those rules. Do me a favor; don’t get elected.
MYTH: Religion is serious business and should be discussed in reference to public policy.
FACT: Religion is always a potential platform of candidates that don’t address real issues.
There is not a limit to the separation of church and state; it’s a line. Government is not to go poking it’s nose in religion’s business, so why would religion think it’s place was to poke it’s nose in government?
To paraphrase, shut up. I have written congressmen asking for them to propose a new amendment to the Constitution creating separation of state and Romney. No founder ever wanted that shit anywhere near the office.
“He misconstrued my beliefs.” - Ron Paul re: John McCain attacking him at the Republican YouTube debate.
I am amazed at his stickiness. He seems to attract the undercurrent need of prototypical-American freedom in people. He brings up fundamental American issues that effect everyone (and always have), has interesting and different things to say about the junk topics being portrayed as the platform, and can even handle serious modern issues. His statements are all theoretically solid. He interests people that aren’t interested in politics. The dude sounds like Thomas Jefferson.
I’m wondering what kind of insane explosion an internet movement can cause in a real live grassroots campaign.
It’s worth noting I still don’t consider anyone ready to receive votes. I could be convinced though.
I started working on the editing of these response videos I made in reference to the YouTube/CNN Republican debates (as previously discussed here) at 6 PM. It is now 3:45 AM. I have uploaded the entirety of the 160-something megs two and a half times now, and I think I’ve finally gotten the goddamn thing to stick (all after a good three-plus hours cutting out myself making fart jokes).
This is essentially a compilation of my thoughts and reactions to the various things asked and said during these debates. Part 1 is here, and part 2 is here.
I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in film/video and digital media technology. What the hell people? There is no way I should be having this much trouble making this thing; i.e. everyone that regularly makes high-quality videos with the overshoot-and-edit-and-upload model deserves a significantly high five. I don’t really see myself being able to cope with Premiere for that long.
You should watch the republican newbtube debates as soon as you can to get informed on how ludicrously out of touch with reality most of these guys are, because tomorrow I will hopefully have edited and uploaded my video response to it.
These aren’t debates. They’re sideshows posing as clown colleges. These guys make Dukakis look good; Americans almost can’t lose. Fuck Romney though:
