I feel like this completely overshadows any reelection announcement he could have made.

Originally posted by whodeyBrilliant ad; Sure there's some BS in it (like every other campaign ad), but it dovetails beautifully with the idea that 2008 Obama campaign was all fluff and little substance. If GOP writers perform at that level for the next 18 months, it's going to be an unpleasant campaign for the President (though, of course, it may do little to alter the outcome).

Stronger regulation on donations for presidential campaigns would help a lot. Reducing the amount of TV/internet ads can only be beneficial to political debate.
So no surprises such a suggestion comes from the boards worst "I know better than you how to run your life, Aristotle was wrong in the same number of ways as legs on a millipede" control freak.

Originally posted by WajomaClearly you have very little understanding about what freedom of expression means, as with all other freedoms. Not surprising perhaps since your utopia is a violence and exploitation-ridden one.

Originally posted by KazetNagorraOk I'll bite on the other two misconceptions as well, common enough mistakes made by those who know nothing about libetraianism but have plenty to say about it.

Every human has a right to live their life free from force, threats of force and fraud (the proviso is that you have those rights as long as you respect the same rights in your fellow man) is the opposite of 'violence ridden'.
Exploitation: I love it that my employer exploits me and I exploit his need for an employee.
There is no utopia, there will always be those that will not respect a persons right to live their life free. You, yourself are an example of one of those people.

It's just a symptom of the sickness of which you are an advocate KN, you don't cure that sickness by swallowing more bad medicine. Don't let the pollies have anything to sell, take away their power to grant favours.

Originally posted by WajomaAh, now we are going into anarchist mode again. If politicians have power then by definition they can "grant favours". So if politicians cannot "grant favours" you are once again arguing for anarchism and contradicting yourself for the zillionth time.

It is one of the most basic baby step mis-conceptions along with 'utopians', 'freedom from force means violence ridden', 'exploitation is always bad'.

Originally posted by WajomaA libertarian society will have politicians with power, which makes them susceptible to bribes.
