Mitt romney has no clue how to implement a free market and obama has no clue how to implement democratic socialism. Im so tired of left vs right when in reality if implemented right both of their ideas could work quite well. Can the people reading this just read over the libertarian platform and see what you think. What we need is a a true fiscal conservative with socially liberal views. It is called progressive conservatism and its a lot better than jesus freak VS hippie!
Whats with the 'Crazy Eyes' the lady in the back is giving to the guy in the front row with the glasses on pic #3 at Bullfeathers ? LOL
As for the election, I know who I am voting for but I highly doubt the winner is going to make anything better whether its Romney or Obama.
keep big bird/get rid of jim leher for moderator, he was not in control, must be a rep
