    I was actually pretty surprised when I first watched a political ad on TV here; I always had this notion of it to be pretty, how do I say, dishonorable. A price of Freedom of Speech, I guess.

    It's lame, though. If they want to waste commercial time they might as well make it good. But no... it has to be all the old negative crap. Why, I wonder, would any frickin' intelligent politician wants to broadcast his opponent's name further?

    Seems to me like politics to them is being "Not as bad as the other guy"

    Should be an easy election considering the Democrats have the same political ideals as the terrorists.

    Hmmm I must say that those parodies on radio comercials starts to sound more like real life for every day.

    Now we need a game with Frankenstien doing bread fetching quests.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    Meh, every election is the most negative evar...

    We should ban all political tv ads.
    Nah, we should pull out all the stops- just require full disclosure on who's paying for it. Let people say whatever they want, just so we know who's saying it.

    The resemblance is uncanny, what with the Democrats pro-war, anti-abortion, brutally anti-gay and theocratic overtones.

    How can you say that? With the exception of the centralized political power, corporate and nationalist collusion, ultra-nationalism and centralized military, and a focus on a single charismatic leader whose dictates are law, they're just like the Nazis.

    You're not talking about Bush, are you? Surely you must be joking; the man has all the charisma of moldy cheese....

    Reminds me of a Royal Canadian Air Farce parody of a Liberal Party advertisement.

    Stephen Harper wants to put a laser in space and carve his initials into Greenland. We are not making this up.
