I understand that your government is corrupt. I see that outrages laws are being passed.
But what is gonna stop them. America what are you going to do? You cant depend on the government anymore, you cant depend on the people who wish to harm you to save you from themselves. There not just gonna stop trying to govern your life's.

Good luck America. Your country is gonna be very different very soon. I hope its for the better.

It's horrible knowing that even if McCain had won this woulda passed anyway cause McCain was involved in this himself. Fuck the Senate. Bunch of criminals.

The same can be said for those that simply voted for McCain instead of actively supporting his campaign.

Actual policies aside, and certainly not the full reason yet it was a significant contributor: Obama got people to vote. I'm talking about people who never paid attention to elections their whole lives until he came along. I'm talking about people that get into the booth and are like "Who the fuck are all these other people?" when they see the ballot. Obama got people to vote that had never voted or even thought about voting before. It's especially sad, but that's what the Presidential Election boils down to. The many uneducated dramatically overshadows the few informed. And that's how it's always going to be. It's a beauty pageant.
