Play this rip-roarin' hilarious (if tasteless) game, and you'll be surprised to find a TON of information about the Bush Administration's policies that the creators don't agree with (I'm not saying I agree with everything either, but it's worth seeing to get some perspective). Plus, you get to play as Mr. T AND Howard Stern!
I'm obviously not voting (being Canadian, and 16 at that!), but if I would, it would be Kerry by a mile. Bush has set back America's environmental policies 30 years! Not to mention a little phrase called 'separation of church and state' and his constant attempts to write BIGOTRY into the constitution...and, well, that's all you really need to know about my opinion. Now, play the game...but not at work.

16 and Canadian and yet you sound more informed about our politics than a lot of people on this side of the border. That game seems fair and balanced to me.

After watching the debate tonight I think they need an addition to the format. They really need a bulls**t meter. Each side would be allowed a stick to be used as they saw fit when the meter went off. Let's say the offending party was, oh I don't know, how about Cheney? Just for argument's sake. If he set off the bulls**t meter, then Edwards could just poke him with the stick. It could happen...

What a load of B.S. from both of them. Although I did entertain myself (what little I watched) by imagining all of Cheney's lines in a Darth Vader voice. But the idiocy was too much so I went back to the AL playoffs.
We're f**ked whoever wins, get used to it.

I actually thought that Edwards did a great job out there. I think he is keeping Kerry in this election. If he was the nominee for President, I would be voting for him.
So far I'm undecided, but with Edwards' preformance I think that both tickets are now equal. I might vote for Kerry because of Edwards.

Is it sad to say I still don't know who to vote for in less than a month away?
Seriously, back in 2000 I didn't want Bush as president, that's why I wanted Gore to get it, even though I didn't like him either....today, I still don't want Bush to get it, yet I don't trust Kerry either, just something weird about him.
I think to myself,' would Kerry do any better than what Bush has? What if he'll be the worst we've ever known?'.
Amongst other issues, I want a president who'll be determined to provide for our country, and quit making us look like fools,(something I learned while looking into the Islam way of life).
Like, the drug plans...It's sad to watch my cousin having no way to pay for her illness treatments because medicine is too high for her blood. It's sad to watch my great-grandmother having to suffer not having important medicines for her post-cancer, just because it is either too high or her not being eligiable,(sp?).
Plus, the other issue thats been bugging me. While I think fighting for ones country is the right thing to do, because we've gotten so much that we could atleast pay back...I would like for atleast them starting to return home. From people with families over there fighing I've heard horrid stories. The painful one is of the deaths our soldiers bring onto themselves. Many of them are commiting suicides just so they can leave. They want to come home, and its sad that they're finding that way through suicide...but, that's something we' never hear on the news, cause it might make Bush look even worser. We're never gonna hear it come out of Bush's mouth, that they can come home for a little while. Just a little while.
But the horror of it is...I feel that Bush will win this election once again. Just don't want my state to be the laughing stalk like before!

OK This may sound snitty, but it's not meant as such
Bango- You're old enough to vote?
Why was I thinking that you were younger than that?

We're f**ked whoever wins. Maybe I'm ready to get f**ked in a different way. You know, a good way, rather than, y'know, the bent-over-the-hood-of-a-car-in-an-alleyway-and-my-wallet-stolen way. Sorry, semantics. Still ...

I agree with CG. I thought the debate went quite well. Edwards did a pretty good job. The Daily Show had the best description saying that Cheney unhinged his jaw and is currently digesting Edwards.
It was pretty much a back and forth "did not, did too" kind of thing. Edwards said that 90% of the casualties were American. Cheney said that he was ignoring the Iraqi casualties so it was more like 50%. Edwards turned around and said it was 90% of the coalition casualties.
The difficult part is knowing how much they are twisting the data for use in the debate. I thought Edwards did a good job reinforcing the idea that we weren't attacked by Iraq.

Thank you, Auntie. I'm also looking forward to the "Daily Show" analysis tonight.

To any Americans age 25 and under, if you're still undecided about who to vote for, you might like to know that George Bush snuck a little bill in with the ''No Child Left Behind Act.
It is an attempt to reinstate the draft. I guess that's what he means by no child left behind, on draft day. Of course, he'll probably find some cushy Air Nat'l Guard positions for his children.
