She won't get elected. Americans may be dumb and easily distracted by pretty things, but can they really set the bar any lower?

Remember guys, in spite of being a rich politician, "She's just like us!"™ I'm not sure why you have a problem with her being rich or that she's trying to pretend like she's in the middle class. Were you bitching about Romney or pretty much any other presidential candidate ever? You'd be hard pressed to find any candidate that can actually relate to the general populace of America regardless of their wealth anyways and wealth usually doesn't usually handicap a candidate unless you get caught with your pants down like Romney did whether it was out of context or not.
I think Scott Walker is the only one of the candidates that isn't really wealthy or that comes from/married into wealth, though, even he tries to capitalize on this by telling stories of how he purchased a $1 sweater or that he wears cheap shirts like the rest of America. Why should I care? Is it that this will make you more adept at solving the issues that plague that looms over the entry into the middle class? No, it's more than likely is just another ploy by all of them to make themselves out to be more relatable.
What you should be more upset about is that stuff like this even matters enough that presidential hopefuls even waste their time trying to pull off that spin. Votes are usually won on anything but the person's ability to lead the American people but rather whats seemingly important to the individual voter on things like abortion, gay marriage or whether that ones a rich snob or just like me!

This gets me right in the feels. Rich people love to get abortions though ! They can afford it. The great unwashed just use a flight of stairs !

Someday I dream of being a grandmother. I just need to pay for the sex change operation. Is that covered under Obamacare ?

If you're miserable with yourself, your body, your job, your gender, the way you perceive people to judge you, etc. the government is here to help you. Basically if you're happy, or even content with your life then the government wants even more money to help those miserable *** out. But will they ever be content?

Blah blah blah etc. etc. etc.
"Ravael just made a joke! I'm going to write a huge response! I swear I'm not being defensive!"
With that out of the way, I did get annoyed when Romney tried to pretend like he wasn't super rich. Surely there's a happy medium between coming off as a rich, greedy snob and "Hey, I just ordered off of a dollar menu! Get the press over here to make a big deal out of it! Now gather 'round while I tell you about the time that I was so broke that I had to sell stock to pay rent...."

That was a joke? I was being defensive? That's more of a joke than the nonsense you put up there.
Why does there need to be a happy medium? They are what they are. Make the election about what people can actually bring to the table rather than making it about what clothes they wear, where they eat or how much money they have.

I wrote a single sentence, ended with a TM symbol for the sake of humor, and you went on a multi-paragraph tirade and tried to paint me as a hypocrite. Take a chill pill, sheesh.

Multi paragraph tirade? lol I think your the one that needs to take a chill pill. It's like you read posts as if everyone is out to get you or something.
The only thing I'm doing is pointing out the ridiculous nature of elections and how what is seen as important really has nothing to do with what actually is important.
Also, I'm now making fun of your terrible "joke". :)

Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
Random Politics & Religion may be mained or demained depending on the activity within at a Moderator's discretion.
With that out of the way, let the debates begin!
