Taintsays...Oh no! My first time was with Ralph Nader!
I was feeling adventurous and a little curious! He was just so interesting and persuasive and I wanted him to be in the debates, how was I to know he wouldn't so much as call me the next day?
Fusionautsays...I can't remember who my first time was for. There are too many provincial and federal elections here in Canada so all I can remember is what party I might have voted for. Canadian voters are like Art majors!
*promote
siftbotsays...Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Friday, October 26th, 2012 8:39am PDT - promote requested by Fusionaut.
bobknight33says...Truly sad to see the the Obama campaign is stooping so low. He must be desperate. It seems like the only votes he is getting will be young inexperienced college kids.
Obama the pedophile
silvercordsays...I've wondered for a long time why our entertainers have become such a compass of political direction. With many of their own lives so steeped in dysfunction it speaks to our own sense of alignment that we have, in ways, become dependent on their voices for decisions regarding our future. Strange, that. Not difficult to understand, but strange.

Fucking College kids isn't Pedophilia. At least...I hope not.
hpqpjokingly says...Ha, America, you adorable little prude. Here in Switzerland we have seven (7) heads of state, nah!
antsays...She's my first time.
NetRunnersays...*politics
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Politics) - requested by NetRunner.
NetRunnersays...Since when have entertainers been a "compass of political direction?"
Since when have entertainers been any more dysfunctional than your average person who gets rapidly launched into a position of fame and fortune?
Since when have self-styled sober, somber people actually been any smarter or wiser than people with senses of humor?
Since when has anyone been dependent on entertainers for decisions on our future?
Nothing you're saying makes any sense to me, unless of course you start by making some rather condescending assumptions about the sorts of people who're likely to vote for Obama.

Trancecoachsays...Lena Dunham is a friend of a friend... We all attended the same college, although she graduated a few years after I did.
silvercordsays...As to your first question, you tell me. Why have them speak at all? Because we like a few songs they wrote or admire them for playing some fictional character on our televisions? Each political party uses entertainment icons to target certain groups of voters they believe they otherwise wouldn't reach. Kid Rock for the right, Black Eyed Peas on the left. Why do the political parties do this if not to provide direction for some segment of the masses?
Second question. That is my point. The more dysfunctional society becomes, the stranger the stars. They are the mirror to our disease.
Third. HuH? Did I say that? Where?
Fourth. Since politicians started employing entertainers to shill for them. It looks like our elected officials think they need to depend on the star power for votes. At least they are depending on them. And they are depending on them because they think we depend on them. And, I think voting is a "decision on our future," don't you?
Lastly, I am making an observation about our society and this Kabuki dance we go through. Do you not see this on both sides? I think you'd have to be blind not to.
