Attention to all self-proclaimed liberals and progressives.

I would like to properly introduce you to a man about whom you’ve heard much — especially from his enemies and those who prefer a continuation of the status quo — but at whom you might wish to take a second look, and whom you might consider supporting for president.

Unlike Barack Obama, he supports an immediate end to our current and ongoing wars abroad.

Unlike Barack Obama, he supports an end to predator drone attacks by the United States military, which kill innocent civilians and foment growing hatred of America. He believes that the so-called “war on terror” as we’ve engaged it has undermined American freedoms at home and contributed to greater tensions and anti-American sentiment abroad.

Unlike Barack Obama, he supports an entirely revamped Middle East policy, in which the U.S. will no longer subsidize the oppression of the Palestinian people by the state of Israel.

Unlike Barack Obama, he supports either abolishing or fundamentally reforming the Federal Reserve system, and he opposed bailing out the banks with public funds.

Unlike Barack Obama, this individual opposes government spying and believes in absolute freedom of speech and the press, and as he puts it, “reduced government intrusion into our lives.”

Clearly, with such a progressive vision, no one of the left would want to pass up the opportunity to support a candidate such as this for president! Surely it would be a vast improvement over Barack Obama, that Wall Street- friendly, imperialistic, war-monger, who promised to close Guantanamo but didn’t, among other unforgivable crimes.

So by all means, let’s get behind someone who will close down the national security state, stand up for civil liberties, and stop handing out money to bankers.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the left, I give you your perfect candidate for 2012:

David Duke.

Oh I’m sorry, did you think I was talking about someone else?

No disrespect intended to DD, nor your opinions of him, but ask yourself this:

"How many politicians have said what they needed to say to gain public support and then, once in a position of power, have done a complete U-Turn on their proposed policies?"

I dont know, I think human beings can change their mind with new information or experience, and I suppose everyone does that including politicians,,, cant say whether someone says something because its sincere or 'just' to get what they want, unless Im dealing with them on an intimate familiar basis


but,,, it wasnt as much a statement as a joke,,,lol

I think you could tell the difference with Politicians pretty easily and with no personal contact at all. They say 'X' to get into power. Then all of a sudden they 'categorically never said X' or somehow they manage to introduce a policy that is diammetrically opposed to that which got them into power...
frustrated

I think the term is "Snake Oil"....

I cant tell intentions of people I dont really know without personal knowledge or EXTENSIVE evidence

changing ones mind is not in itself suspect to me

if its done every other day,, maybe

otherwise, like I Said before, I do believe in allowing people to adapt and grow in their views and opinions as they gain experience and become privvy to new information,,,,

Lucky that this was posted in the "Jokes & Funny Stories" sections or we'd all be taking this far tooooo seriously!

Personally speaking, if I was swayed to vote for someone based upon their particular political policies and then, once they got into power, they did virtually the opposite - I'd certainly feel that I'd been lied to.

Again, no offence intended to you. If you choose not to recognise massive political U-Turns or aren't in the least bit bothered by them - then all's good in your world and I guess that's the main thing.

Hava gr8 day.

happy
