How did Obama's use of America's Voting System Contribute to his Win?

We Answered:

Its very hard to loose when the news media is rooting for you every step of the way. He was able to convince young voters that had little or no memory of past presidents and democratic congress. Johnson kept us in Viet Nam, then quit and left it up to Nixon to get out. Carter came in and we had "stagflation" my neighbor was paying an interest rate of 18% on his mortgage.
The Obama campaign was centered around "change" he left it up to you to figure out what that meant. It did seam to mean what ever the audience he was speaking to thought it should mean. Also, some say the election cost six hundred and fifty million dollars. Actually, he didn't spend it all.
Maybe Bill Gates should make a run for it next time. He could blanket the networks with "infomercials"!

When the electorate reaches 38 percent turnout?

We Answered:

The best way to counteract the Muslims is with the Truth. Islam is a religion based on misconceptions, racism, gender discrimination, and hatred. It is also the largest Cult in the world. It is not a religion of peace as so many have said.

Just look at what happens to a society that is dominated by Islam. Especially the radical Islamic factions that comprise the Taliban, Al Qaeda and the Jihadists. They suppress all dissent, falsely accuse women of adultery in order to stone them and get rid of a wife they don't like. And many other such things. They brainwash people into becoming suicide bombers and fill their children with racial hatred and lies about America and Israel.

If you are concerned you should get informed with the facts and then take every opportunity to inform others of the truth. A good book on the subject is "The politically incorrect guide to Islam and the Crusades."

Don't we owe the Republicans some gratitude? Maybe even a lot of gratitude. What do you think?

We Answered:

Yeah, there's so much to be grateful for. Since 2000, the Bush administration has:
1) Tarnished America's reputation as a world leader and global peacekeeper to a point that it may never be repaired;
2) Lied to the country about weapons of mass destruction so that it could illegally and unconstitutionally invade Iraq;
3) Put Americans TRILLIONS of dollars in debt that will take generations to pay off (if we ever can);
4) Killed 665,000 Iraqis for no justifiable reason, as well as almost 3,000 U.S. soldiers;
5) Disregarded the rules of the Geneva Convention;
6) Tortured 'detainees' in secret CIA prisons;
7) Neglected the needs of America's poor, sick, disabled, old, disadvantaged, hungry,. homeless and indigent;
8) Ignored the delicate ecological balance between plants, man and animals that allow us to co-exist on this planet;
9) Turned America into a police state wherein citizens are presumed guilty until proven innocent;
10) Held the U.S. Constitution hostage while it took the law into its own hands.
We owe Republicans gratitude??? I think not!! -RKO-

Arguments for compulsory voting (specifically statistics)?

We Answered:

There is nothing in the world that is compulsory.Why?Because the word compulsory means it is absolute and there can not be any exceptsions,or options.The fact is that people are intimidated and coerced into doing something that do not want to do,and that is tyrannical.In Australia,that term is never questioned by the unthinking masses,if they did think about,the would realised that whom a person votes for is supposed to be secret,and that a ballot paper is the means for casting their vote.
Therefore,nobody can be compelled to reveal who they voted for since it is supposed to be secret.
So what actually happens is that the people are intimidated and coerced into attending a polling
booth to receive a ballot paper,not who to vote for.To prove that intimidation and coercion can not
ensure that a person will not attend a pollling booth I ask you to consider this:
If there were an election in Australia,and I did not attend a polllin booth and I was registered voter and did not have my name crossed of (meaning I did receive a ballot paper),then I would receive a
letter asking why I did not vote,or if there was any medical reason why I could not,or if I did, do I have any prove.Now if I ignore this letter,another one will follow,but with a warning that I do not
respond to this request,I will be issued with a fine and if the fine is not paid the matter will be referred to the local Magitrates Court.If the magistrate orders me to pay the fine and I refuse,then I could be ordered to do community work,and if I refuse this option,I could be incarcerated.(It does happen in Australia).I was imprisoned for six days for refusing to wear a bicycle helmet.In summary,
I was not compelled to receive a ballot paper (compelled to vote).
