Actually I can explain to you very easily. It's very unfortunate for people who are citizens of another country that they can't vote. The reason is because depending on who gets elected president, we may or may not invade their country. Also the US economy has a link to the global economy, and an incompetent administration can effect the economy enough to make it worse and thus make the world economy worse. And we all know McCain has made statement threatening Russia, that he wants to be in Iraq 100 years, that he wants to bomb Iran, and that he doesn't understand the economy.

I swear, it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

That's why they call it trolling.

Posting something that gets a stupid, left wing response from <insert stupid left winger of the moment here> is trolling? :confused: I know youv'e really fallen in love with the democrats as of late, but don't let it entirely cloud your judgement.

You can post anything anywhere to get a stupid response from anyone. What makes it trolling is when you try to use that as evidence of something greater than just a single person's opinion.

Damn small-minded liberals. Mocking sports they've obviously never tried. Completely out of touch with the average fish-shooting American. :p

Sheesh, next thing I know you guys will be talking about how using dynamite to blow fish out of the water is a bad idea. ;)

This thread is embarrassing. You should be embarrassed. I know you won't be because you're an overreaching ridiculous hack, but you should be.

Obama also thinks its unfortunate America isn't Marxist, that the military works, that taxes are 'too low", that 5 yr olds don't masturbate yet, that the Constitution gets in the way of judges making law, that Jerusalem isn't divided yet, that the surge worked etc. He has a lot of misfortune to fix.

I'm also pretty sure Obama wants to have gay buttsex with you. You'd better locate the duct tape before the debates come on!

Be honest with yourself here, this isn't even an issue, this is borderline trolling.

Borderline?

That's a Madonna song

Stay in school, kids.

There is a small chance that Butterbean is just doing some sort of 'Borat' style character, so yes it could be a joke.

If you're ever looking for some comedy do a forum search for that guy's posts. He's absolutely batshit crazy.

Go through the process with garbage information until you get to where it asks you about whether or not you are a US citizen. Say "no" and it'll take you to where it says "Unfortunately, only US citizens are eligible to register to vote."

How could anyone let this sort of thing "slip" onto a site like that? There is no reason for that type of wording unless you really do think it's unfortunate that non-citizens can't vote in our elections...

CADsortaGUY is fucking Pathetic....

AHahahhahahahhahahah THIS is what you have against 'BHO'?

These are your attacks? are you SERIOUS????

do you not know how to make an argument? Do you not know how to make a point? Do you have no sense of reasoning. no type of LOGIC?
jesus fucking christ himself would be afraid of catching your retardation

That's what CSG does.

This is a silly mistake, but it's not that big of a deal. I read it more as, "We apologize but we cannot do what you want" as opposed to "Doesn't it suck that foreigners can't vote?"

If Cad doesn't think it's unfortunate when people aren't American Citizens, he's a worthless communist. This is the greatest country in the world. He should be stripped of his citizenship and not allowed to vote.

Some might argue that argue that law abiding, legal non-citizen residents that work in the US, pay their taxes, raise their families here, might want to have a voice of some sort. "No taxation without representation" has been a refrain used again and again in US history. That's one view explaining why some might find it unfortunate.

Hehe, CAD hates politeness...? It's unfortunate for whomever desires to vote when they're not a citizen, it's not unfortunate for all of us. Reading comprehension?
