To quote a popular bumper sticker: “mean people suck”. You’re right on Beet, “a bit of all right”. I’m voting for the beauty queen if only to spite those you who hate so much. Semper Fi Beet!

Bravo I love this artical. It’s just straight, honest, shootin’ from the hip.
But I like Monica more (I think she’s hotter) and I would love to see some pics of her doing bill in the oval office while smokin’ a cuban from the wrong end (wink).

“If youâ€™re post is representative of the majority of Americans (which you claim are even less informed than you), I am deeply saddened by the number of ppl that have the ability and opportunity to educate themselves but choose not to delve beneath the sound bytes.”

Yes Anonymous, I used incorrect grammar in that sentence – it should have read “If your post…” You’re totally on to me Anonymous….. I made an error in the first (and last) post I will ever make here. I am totally ignorant. You win.

reading these entries i am stunned and slsightly sickened. in this day and age, in this country, anyone -democrat, republican or independant- who says “i don’t know how to get informed” on politics is a lazy, ignorant fucker and shouldn’t bother to vote anyway. what are you, living under the fucking taliban? living without tv, radio or internet, like the amish (who probably have a better grasp on politics than some on this board)? locked up in a closet with only the people magazine for your information? here’s a tip, slackers: save those votes for things you understand… like american idol, and leave the important votes to those of us who actually bother to do a little research. newsflash, asswipes: there are people in this world who are fighting their government to get information, and to vote in a real election, and some of those people are paying with their lives, and we have people in this country who actually whine that getting on the internet is too hard? you should be ashamed of yourselves.

I read the paper daily, subscribe to Newsweek and Time, watch political commentary in the evening, and read articles from various Internet sources, and honestly, I don’t feel like I know everything. Not even close. I think that’s very important — knowing that no matter what you’re told in this country, you don’t really know what’s going on. I try my best to follow along, but it’s a deceitful system. We’re probably never REALLY going to know what happens in many situations, which makes it more fun to gossip about in the first place. Isn’t that what MSNBC, CNN, and FOX News do all day and all night? It’s punditry. Right now, that’s American politics. When you put your opinion out there, you’re going to get comments from those who disagree urging you to put politics to rest and keep documenting Lily Allen’s stumbles. Luckily, I agree with most of your stances.

@ Texas Gal-
If you don’t realize at this point why people in other parts of the world are scared of us-you haven’t been paying attention. Bush began this war for personal reasons and has murdered thousands of innocent people in the name of it. (Innocent people goes for both US soldiers as well as civilians in Iraq.) People are scared because they have an outsider’s view of how war hungry Bush was, and they are frightened to imagine what could follow, (See: John McCain).

And frankly, YOU should be scared as well. If McCain wins, and something should happen to him-do you honestly want someone who hasn’t even led the tiny population of Alaska leading the entire country? Just something to think about.

Oh and I love Donkey Punch-sometimes it seems as though you are the only one with half a brain on this site.

By the way, the man who wrote Palin’s speech was Bush’s speech writer.

Mavericks my ass.

Texas Gal are you really serious? The USA spends more on war than any other country on the planet. You guys have wars lined up for the future like airplanes on the runway waiting to take off. America is the single greatest threat to world peace in my opinion.

The world wants to know will the next president be a war monger that is controlled by the American war machine and oil tycoons like Bush and McCain?

I love the incorrect use of you’re (when it should be your) in so many of the anti-Beet responses. Talk about ignorance! :)
