So it's "Super Tuesday" and I'm endorsing Barack Obama (haha as if I'm someone who matters! lmao). Why? Cause I'm a poker player. Because I'm sick of the "Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton" cycle that is at risk of continuing. Because I think Bush and the Republicans have turned a great country into a joke country. Because I know that Hillary will unite Republicans against her and create more hatred than healing. Because I want change. Because I believe he is genuine, honest and true.
For those of you who care, I'll bother to go through and list my reasons for all of those things.
Because I'm a Poker Player:
When you look at all of the Presidential candidates, of the front runners Obama is the best for poker. Mcain and Romney are strongly against it because they want to appeal to the conservative cockmongers. Hillary is in the middle and not strongly either way, but does have a history of attacking video games and other internet based entertainment. But Obama, now he is actually a poker player, and supposedly pretty good. He's openly talked about poker and told stories about playing. He understands our game and would by far be the most poker friendly president.
Because I'm Sick of the Bush-Clinton Cycle
Think about it... in the last 20 years 2 families have run the USA. What's up with these dynasty's? We had Bush senior, then Bill, then Junior, and if Hillary wins we'll be right back into the cycle. How can she be a candidate for change? And how can she be such a champion for health care when she already tried once and failed, even with full presidential support? There were good things about the Clinton era but at the end of the day it was more of the same political BS. The way Bill handled himself in South Carolina shows us how they really feel... he even said that this wasn't dirty at all, and if you're comparing what he did to the days of old, it was nothing. But that's the point - we're sick of the old BS and want SUBSTANCE rather than attack ads. But the Clinton's don't get it. And if they can't control Bill right now, how the hell will they control him when he's in the White House, again? I don't think he's going to sit around baking cakes.
Because I think Bush and the Repub's Have turned the USA into a Joke
I travel a lot. I've been to over 10 different countries as a 23 years old. When I was younger during the Clinton era and I traveled I got nothing but "You're American, I love America!" type of comments. Now I get things like "What, are you here to start a war?" and non-stop resistance from anyone I try to work with cause they think that I'm just another American asshole who wants to impose his will on everybody else. We're not respected anymore and it's very sad. We don't lead on world issues but rather become outcasts. We create more problems than we fix. I know that we have done a lot of bad shit in the past, but rather than going away from it and becoming better, the Bush Junior years have lead us to doing worse things than we ever did before. Iraq was a huge mistake, we abandoned Afghanistan, and I sure as hell don't think we're any safer than we were before. I've written papers on this issue and don't want to retype them here, but if you wanna hear my in depth reasons PM me and I'll send ya my reports.
Because I know that Hillary will unite the Republicans and Create Hatred
Republicans hate the Clintons. Why do you think that there was sooooo much drama around the Monica Lewinsky shit? Cause Bill had been pissing the Republicans off for years and they'd been waiting for any chance to tear him apart. They caught a thread and tried to pull it till the sweater unraveled, as Weezer said to do (hold this thread, as I walk awayyyyy). There are already groups out there who are preparing attack ads aimed at Hillary, doing research trying to find any little thing they can use. If Hillary gets the nomination the Republican party will unite against her. If Barack gets it, there will be more people willing to give him a chance and work with him. This point is so important. We have to understand the hatred they have for the Clinton family. The best way to get the Republicans to unite and fight together in the general election is to give them Hillary to fight against.
Because I want Change
A black man with 4 years of Washington experience sounds a hell of a lot better than a woman who's been sucked into DC for the last 16 years. He worked on the streets helping people who lost their jobs instead of doing everything he could to make the big bucks when he was younger. As a kid he got high, got drunk, and partied, and then he grew up and got over it, leaving that behind. He understands where we're coming from but also managed to do it without becoming a drunk driving coke head like Bush was. And he was honest about it from the start, never throwing any "I didn't inhale" lines out but admitting to what he did. He has been true in sticking by a new style of politics focused on message, vision and hope rather than cynicism, hatred and tearing each other down. He isn't in any lobbyists pockets and doesn't owe any favors as he is new to Washington. And he listens to what the people want.
Because I believe he is genuine, honest and true.
Obama came to Colorado a few days ago and for the first time in my life, I voluntarily went to a political rally. I wasn't the only one as there were lines for blocks in 2 directions going away from the hall. Inside it was like a party as people danced and cheered, and a huge amount of people there and on his staff were young folk like me. And for once they were young people who cared enough to do something. When Obama came out you could see on his face how much he believed in what he was doing, and how much he appreciated our support. He was strong and confident, yet humble and honest. He was visionary and while he said the obvious things that any good politician should, he also took it to another level and said the right things even though a politician often shouldn't. After reading his site, watching his speeches, and then seeing him in person, I am convinced that he is for real and that he intends to carry through with everything he says. And what he says is awesome.
Obama is changing the political map by bringing people like me out to the polls. I am not a big voter but tomorrow night (or tonight depending on when you read this) I am going to Caucus in Colorado. I'm excited to go and meet other Obama supporters, and I really hope that the precinct I go vote in becomes a win for Obama. He's getting lots of first time voters out to support him. But we gotta get out there. The old farts are great about voting cause they have nothing else to do, and they understand that their vote does affect their lives. We're young and think that it doesn't matter. If Bush has taught us anything it is that it DOES matter. And for once we're being given a choice for a real person in the white house rather than just more of the same. If there was ever a time to get out and vote, it is now. If you're with me and support Obama, please get out there Today (TUESDAY) and cast your vote. It counts.
hahaha I bet I end up making some enemies here @ LP cause of this post. Politics has a way of doing that. Oh well. Gotta take risks for things you believe in right? =)

well i live in oregon so by the time its my turn to vote, it wont matter. but since i cant, more power to ya!! GOGOGO VOTE VOTE VOTE!!! GET THAT NIGGA TO THE TOP !!!!!`1
Its hard to make a easy buck legally, its impossible to make a easy buck morally.
i live in canada currently, but im very into america politics because it affects my american dollars.
are u kidding me? 'unite all america' complete propaganda bullshit.
obama is just a puppet of multilturalist socialism, with an agenda to take all the hard working legitimate white man citizens' money and spread it on the poor minorities. He supports putting illegal workers in a path to citizenship (even give them driver liscence LOL biggest joke in world). Ya great idea, encouraging more illegals to cross the border breed like dogs and leetch off the working man, to pay for their minority kids school and healthcare, let alone political power over time, biggest joke ever.
Its about time americans pull out of world wide problems, punish businesses encouraging illegal workers, fence the whole border with many many rows of barbwired electric fences, ship their army which is spread across the globe back to the border of usa to defend the country from invading illegal aliens (or other muslim/ilegal threats), along with increasing motion sensor/camera/real life guards ALL ACROSS THE BORDER, which can be eaily achieved if we stop policing the world and start policing OUR borders.
America as we know it, is changing too rapidly for legitimate citizens tastes. Everything would better with an 17-18-19- or (even early-mid 20th century) politics, but with 21st century technology.
With obama in power soon the nation will be run by minorities which is a great danger to eastern european people living in north america, since after all the breeding in a few generation we will lose our identity, go bankrupt, and lose our country structure and traditions.
'change' is a catchy propanganda term used by Obama, in influencing lower intelligenced people with no leadership and country vison, and obviously a vast majority of americans see the debates like an 'american idol show' . What we need is a free market, nationalist policy, where personal freedom and free market prevail but at the same time, people should be self responsible.
A sad day in american history like i would ever bow down to a non white president of a country founded by european settlers just over 200yrs ago.
Hopefully pokerstars will allow me to change currency euro, since the dollar is gonna crash, unless we stop spending billions of dollars to benefit all these ungrateful shitty countries, and illegal families.
Thats my word, a candidate like 'ron paul' is closest u can get to a good leader, and even he has major flaws, for example he should increase usa protection to foreign drug empires, instead of this whole 'legalize drug propaganda'. Guess what, if we legalize drugs a lot more people will try them or frequently use them since its so easy to find. If we use the army and technology to prevent 100% or close to it of all drugs coming into the country there is no place for the drug fiends to get their drugs. (whats better??, using vaccination to PREVENT a disease, or letting the person get a disease and then treating them)
This can be easily achieved if usa stops being the santa clause of the world and actually spends a lot of money on checking 100% of goods coming into here, and having army on 100% of borders.
In the end its too late to change the world (its too politically correct in this living era), so all i can do is pray to get some non-usa currency options on pokerstars.
I really care about america politcs because in just 3 short years the value of my money has gone down oover 1/3 very very easily. Ill be watching the debates
and with all the money saved from useless oversees or other intern programs, we will have enough to start paying off the debt, take care of the sick, elder, children, and have enough left over to cut taxes, improve the environment, and increase usa legitimate citizen standard of living.
obviously this is impossible in such a society like usa in current time, since every minority or interest group is fighting very very had to get what they want and if they dont there is thousands of media police that will put pressure to give them the charity they desire. What a joke america is now, soon i will be gambling for toilet paper if the economy and mentality of the country doesnt improve, sad sad era.
In a perfect world, there would be free trade, free peoples rights, the prosperity of the country, and the happines of legal citizens

2 minutes and 20 seconds of inspirational catchy lines, but I would have preferred if he used that 2:20 to say what he'll do when he gets elected
there ya go =) There's a huge mouthful of specifics.
WiseAdvice, we definitely disagree on a lot of the issues. The funny thing is that we both agree that Ron Paul is a good candidate. He's definitely my favorite Republican. But overall it sounds like you have more of a Republican mindset as well as a residual racism and those feelings will definitely make it hard for you to vote for Obama. I'm not in a mood to argue politics (and don't have the time right now) but let's just say that a lot of the things that you think are horrible or propaganda seem like good ideas and inspiring to me. Agree to disagree for now ok? =)

im definitely voting republican...theres no way i can endorse such liberal views
as far as wiseadvice goes, he'll yell to his death about "conspiracies", "propaganda", etc. but will never provide any reliable source that endorses the crazy(BBC, AP, etc.). Just ignore him.
happy voting, folks

Ron Paul is the only one that's for online poker. Obama says online poker is a shady business that can't be regulated and we should not allow poeple to play. He's for the port bill.
