Why I Won't Vote: Endless Slaughter Everywhere
McCain, Clinton, Obama, they all support this. And I'm supposed to concern myself about the lesser evil? Read all the gory details: the gang rapes of young women, the mutilation of children, the crushed testicles of men, and then realize that this is a course of action that all three of those monsters agree on. How hopelessly wrong is it that we obsess over the tiny differences between them while this is what is going on in the world? Fuck the media, fuck the candidates, fuck all of their wars, and fuck their worthless ballots.

I'm still looking for any evidence that Barack Obama has come out in support of these atrocities. We have a typhoon in Burma, a earthquake in China, conflicts everywhere in the Middle East and all over Africa. Obama is still fighting for the nomination and I thinks he's got his hands full.
Unless you can provide a link showing that Barack is aware of the atrocities being committed by U.S. trained Ethiopian troops in Somalia and he says he's okay with it I think you might be jumping to the gun.
Unless you can show me something that says this man you see fit to rule the world has used his oh-so-wonderful leadership ability to stop it, then why should I have the slightest bit of regard for him?
Is he aware of this? He certainly could be if he cared. Does he care? Of course not. He's got his hands full. Trying to gain more power. For himself. And doing anything to stop this slaughter isn't going to be helpful at all in that quest. Instead he'll just condemn the idea that the US does these kinds of things as "profoundly distorted."
This seems very unreasonable to me. You have no way of knowing if Barack knows about this or what his response would be. You assume that just because you haven't heard him denounce these atrocities, he must be a bum and unworthy of your vote.
Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe he has spoken out against it and our glorious media ignored it because who gives a f*ck about a tiny backward country in Africa? They have more important things to write about, like how he drinks beer, how bad he bowls, how damned elite he is.
So either Obama doesn't know about this, in which case he's not fit to lead the world because of his negligence, or he does know about it. If he does know about it, he obviously doesn't care because he's never done shit to stop it.
"Have you ever stopped to consider that maybe he has spoken out against it and our glorious media ignored it because who gives a f*ck about a tiny backward country in Africa?"
Hey maybe McCain has done the same thing! Maybe both of them have been fighting to end these wars for like 12 hours per day, but the media ignores that part. Maybe Obama and McCain have both pledged to stop doing this kind of shit all over the world, and the media just doesn't cover that! Maybe we should vote for them because they might have secretly done this!
an important thing to note, is that if obama, or any of the others, really did care as much as they should, and it wasn't being covered by the media...couldnt they try a little harder? or use the time when the camera is directly on them? or get a print ad out? it would be entirely possible if they actually cared.

bub,
but can you prove to 99.999% certainly that obama is aware of it? if not, you're clearly being too hard on him (he's very busy after all), and you shouldn't risk saying anything negative about him because otherwise mccain will be king and we'll all die!

What! Me worry?
Big man or little man, life is a trail. All you can do is make it a little bit better where you are. Caring about things about which you can do nothing is a waste of time.
E. g: People starving in Somalia: there was always plenty of food in Somalia. Similarly, drug lords in Mexico: our foolish prohibition policy on drugs is what's destroying families here.
