Wow, didn't realize that ITM editting my post would cause such a firestorm. Although I completely understand the censorship issues. I agree with the new word filters.
Also, I'm a moderate Republican PoliSci major.
Also, 1 vote does not matter. The "examples" provided about close elections are misleading, because none of them were decided by 1 vote. Your vote will never affect the outcome of a major American election. Or even a minor one.

Umm, you know how you guys felt when Wayne Coyne kept going on and on about George W. Bush instead of shutting up and playing during Flaming Lips's 2007 late night set? Remember that? The same applies here. I would actually take the TV talk over this. I am a huge, giant, gargantuan, die-hard Ron Paul supporter, but even I don't want to read about Ron Paul or any of the other candidates while on this forum. Remember, guys, don't be Wayne Coyne on the Which Stage.
I almost posted a "can we have a Green Bay Packers type deal (where the fans own the team), so the American people can run this country themselves" comment, but then I realized everyone in this country is bordering on braindead.
No Juggs.... My point was this.... The line between D/R is completely blurred with the exception of a few hot button issues. Gas was $1.68 in OH on Jan 20, 2009. It Obama's fault as much as it is Bush's fault. Most of our leaders our ineffective, and their hands are tied on top of that.
I did take a crack at his use of his education, and that was probably uncalled for, but he did campaign against big oil....and it hasn't changed.
Gas should in all honesty be $15 a gallon. And I am not making that up.
The reason gas prices are so low is because of subsidies that our government gives gas companies. So if you want it to be even lower then it is, we would need to raise taxes and start giving out more in subsidies.
Now Obama campaigning against gas companies was not about lowering the price of gas. It was about getting off of gas and finding and utilizing alternative sources of energy such as natural gas, electric, solar, ect. Which is something he never followed through on because of the economic collapse. He never campaigned on lowering the gas price.

this thread is such a mess... but I am severely addicted to it. Also, I feel your pain about being a NY voter. And I don't see how Ron Paul is any crazier than any of the other politicians. He is the only one IN MY LIFE who has even slightly inspired me. And he just seems so much more real to me.

I want to make this clear, I love music and I have strong opinions on politics. But I really hate when the two mix unless it's in a song. If it's in a song I can choose not to listen to it and not buy the record. When I talk to my friends of different political views we never talk politics. They are not going to change my views and I won't change theirs we would just argue endlessly or we could talk about Music! For me I am super exicted about Roo this year everything sounds like it may be one of the best years. And me being a long time deadhead was not happy that Furthur is not going to be there, but I do like Phish and that is gonna be awesome. Knowing that Weir, Green and Robinson trio are playing Wakarusu gives me hope they'll be at Roo and maybe Keller Williams too so I can get my Dead fix!
i would really like furthur or the dead... haven't had a chance to catch them since rothbury 09
Well it seems The Dead is over and maybe Furthur as well. I hope not. But Mickey Hart is playing here in Dallas with Dave Schools on bass. That would also be great at Roo!

damn when did they say that... or is it just the general lack of activity that's pointing you in this direction
oh and insider when you do come back... can you please let me know if omar and cedric will be on the farm in some form or another this year. coachella is killin me every time i see ATDI on their lineup. surely they would be high enough on the lineup by now for you to have heard something.

Well The Dead haven't done a show in a couple of years. And I know Furthur has done a couple of shows recently but, Phil has done some Phil and Friends shows, Bob has done Ratdog, Solo and this trio thing, John K is working with his own band. You know they never state when one of their bands is over it's just Hey here's our new band with these guys.
