Since there are a few VOG Members who enjoy debating politics, and since the 2012 Election Campaign has now officially started, I thought it best to start this SINGLE thread so that the Members can voice their opinions without the need to start multiple Political Threads.
It might be interesting to use this thread as a documentary on the feelings of motorcycle riders towards the political race as it develops and later check back on it to see what has changed. It will also be interesting to use this as a documentary of various political promises and see if the candidates change their promises midstream.
I'll kick off this thread with a segment from MSNBC about "what could be the first Billion Dollar Campaign in US History":

Yeah,I got through about 3 minutes of it and realized why I can't stand MSNBC.
For me, being a motorcycle rider has little to do with how I vote. I have higher political priorities that don't tie directly into motorcycling.
That being said, I can't wait to see how Obama campaigns on broken promises, failed economic policies, blaming everyone but himself, and dragging our country down into ruin (though we've been headed that way for a while, he's speeding it up).

I think everyone should just vote for me. I promise to spend less than $5 on my entire campaign....and that includes the $4 beer I'll buy for Don if he heads out west.
QUALITY over speed. Doing a crappy job fast is worthless, so take pride in your work as so few do these days. If you want to lose respect, then act like your work doesn't matter.

I try to be a great example of a horrible role model.

You paint with a very broad brush.
Specifics please.

Don't worry OT, they'll be able to settle their differences about a week after we all die of old age.
