Ugh I don't like Romney one bit but this is just in bad taste. This is the opposite of an informed vote. This is turning the election into a popularity contest. Also, boiling down platforms to cliches and bombastic statements. Yep, election season is here
Haha don't get me wrong Ireland is very PrObama, but something about this just... idk It felt desperate or something? I mean I get that heavy handed facts are needed for the majority of the American public who aren't bothering to listen or vote, but yeah.
i don't think it's desperate. it's just a more fun way to get people off their asses and vote on nov 6 or vote early. instead of the usual negative ads, i guess.
I work on the Obama campaign in a swing state and this is literally the greatest thing I've ever seen!!!
You support Obama? Great! But are you actually helping because I can tell you for shits and giggles that there's a 94 yr old lady pounding the pavement and making calls so you can DEFINITELY space an hour a week to make sure Romney doesn't get elected...
THIS SFM. I was doing voter reg but when my work schedule changed and I could no longer do that, I switched to doing data entry for my neighborhood team. There's always something that can be done, even if you only have an hour or two to spare. I found someone else to take on voter reg (one of my A+ volunteers who I trained) until the deadline.
So many people are like, "oh I don't have the time." I don't either but I'm MAKING time because this is important. You think I'm not tired doing data entry after work because the data has to be in the system by 2am before it synchs? Hell yeah, I'd rather be asleep but it's just a couple of times a week. I can deal with it.
btw, I'm in PA so I KNOW I need to work my ass off here in Philly to get enough votes out of here.

But even I have to admit that wtfu2012.com made me giggle.

I'm obviously going to go and vote but I'm so disillusioned with politics in general.
