I cite the fact that romney is gaining the majority of the votes as proof that Americans are stupid, corporate media brainwashed sheep that are seemingly incapable of thinking for themselves. How anyone could vote for Mitt romney is absolutely beyond reason. This guy is a Plastic Politician, he will tell you ANY s**t you want to hear for a vote. Mitt Romney is the corporate backed candidate and he personally owns a company with $65 billion in assets such as Burger King, The Weather Channel, AMC, Warner Music and more. If his corporate backing is not a red flag then I don't know what is. The corruption in America is so painfully obvious by now that it is shocking to me to see that the majority of Americans are still falling for the same old game tactics of fake politicians like Bush, Obama and now Romney, making all sorts of false promises and pledges for your support.

Romney is not running for president to work for YOU! He works for wall street and the status quo! When will you learn America.... If Romney wins = another 4 years of corruption. Corruption is becoming so widespread in America I expect to see the fall of this "great nation" in my lifetime. I don't know how aware and informed you guys are about America's deeds around the world, but we've done some really evil s**t to other nations these past several decades for some really bad reasons.

Television is the most awesome god damn propaganda force in the whole entire world, it's no wonder people vote for guys like the Bush's and Romney, the same people would believe anything else on TV in the same manner as well, the credulity of Americans is staggering. Anyone ever seen that movie "Network"? When the mad prophet says "there is now an entire generation of people that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube". I heard that and thought to myself my god, it's true. I'm convinced that movie was based on truth, made into a fiction.

We in America really need to start questioning what is being presented to us as truth & reality. In America, lies become truth, truths become lies, good guys become bad guys, bad guys become good guys. We are being manipulated, deceived and lied to every single day we turn on the TV and watch the news.

Woe to us for being so naive and trusting of big corporations, governments and fake politicians who's motives are based on self gain and profit and NOT the interest of you or your friends and family. So that leaves the ultimate question to be asked, what is true and what is real? I don't know, but I do know that you are not going to get it from this government or any big news corporation or politician, except maybe Ron Paul, who is the most sincere and genuine candidate I've ever seen and expect to see in my life.

Well, that's my rambling, I've wanted to say something like this for a long time. thanks for listening.

America is not an individual capable of learning in a linear fashion, so assuming a nation can learn a lesson is ridiculous.

As for Romney, who would you pick instead, for the Republican nomination, and what is your proof, beyond personal values, that person is better? Remember, you only get to choose among those actually running.

Read between the lines. Of course I was referring to the inhabitants of the nation.

It going to take something very major to change the way things are done on this continent. The reality is, Washington DC is completely FUBAR! Passing the "right" set of laws, or electing the "right" guy into office isn't going to change a dang thing. The United States of America is going to have to completely implode first before any real, significant change for the better will ever happen. The way of life we have known for over a century will have to change radically.

How this will come about, I don't know. Likely, the economy will continue to decay, and the nation will slide deeper into fascism, that will trigger resistance and probably a really nasty civil war/ revolt. After a period of some very horrible conflict, hopefully something better will rise from the ashes.

But as it is now, there is no changing course, the train has already left the tracks. All we can do now is hold on to our a**es and ride it out.

Yes, that's true. This quality is what makes him the best (i.e. least dangerous) choice amongst the Republican candidates in this primary. Since his methodology is Go Along To Get Along, he is the candidate least likely to try to enact some insane piece of legislation based on personal ideology.

You buddy Obama also caters to the corporate interests. No help from him.

Meh, Romney was expected to do well in New Hampshire. He isn't going to do nearly as well in states where religion is important.

All of that money spent on his campaign would be better spent on reducing the national debt, or on feeding the hungry and healing the sick.

No, du0d. Reebok is British, owned by the Germans, and with a mere headquarters in the US. Check your facts.

It really does not make a difference who gets elected, if anyone halfway decent gets elected they will probably just get 'assasinated'...that probably sounds paranoid as hell but I am pretty sure that is what happened. You really think someone within the system can openly fight the system and live to see the results? No one running for president has that sort of power.
