"Corporations are people" - Mitt Romney

""There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it -- that that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what. ... These are people who pay no income tax. ... [M]y job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."" - Mitt Romney

"But there is a difference, even when just the word is the difference. And the difference is that, if you indicate as a society that you're indifferent between a same-* couple marrying and a heterosexual couple marrying, then it means our schools and other institutions are going to have to indicate that there is no difference whatsoever, and that obviously has societal consequences that are important."
     -Mitt Romney

Wow that's kinda sad and disappointing
I really hope your viewpoint changes when you grow up
Because not caring about how the world is going is basically not caring about yourself 

Well, that‘s because I‘m still not an adult.

Of course I‘ll care when I grow up, but currently...


Ponies > Politics.

just because you're a kid doesn't mean you're not a person (no matter what some establishments may have you believe)
i believe people should care about politics because it decides how the world is going and you still can make a difference by spreading your opinion

and i'm fairly certain that you can care about both my little pony and politics (and i'm not entirely sure how that's relevant)

We can't afford 4 more years of Obama. I was originally going for Rick Santorum though, but I can't stand Obama. So I say "Nobama".

why? what's your reasoning?

"If you've got a business, you didn't build that, somebody else....made that happen." Remember that?

I'm sorry I don't keep track of every quote ever

actually i don't recall ever hearing of that
though after doing some research that looks like it is taken out of context

ah yes the old out-of-context trick
taking words out of their context is just rude

Lol @ jukyter. 

When Obama made that quote, he was talking about how no buisnessman makes everything their company needs to function happen. Government, through roads and education and the like, makes a base for buisnesses to grow upon. Without government, there would be buisness.

On the other hand, you can support the candidate who disavows 47% of the country, even though may of those people (soldiers, some of the elderly, poor but religious people) tend to vote his way...

Jill Stein/Obama/Gary Johnson

I'm a green demotarian.

I didn't know what 4 or 5 meant, so I put ? as a response, so that may have changed my results.

Yeah, it's so messed up that LGBT doesn't have the same rights. 

I'm not any of those but I support LGBT.

That issue doesn't affect me at all (I don't like either boys or girls, some people think I don't even have a gender myself  ), but I still think they should be treated equally.

Also, since corporations are people, does that mean that they can get drivers licenses at 16 years old, or vote at 18? No! Corporations ARE NOT PEOPLE!

corporations can "vote" at whatever age they like by giving money to campaigns, influencing the outcome of elections

It's very possible you're just too young, unless I've underestimated your age. But that is an actual sexual preference called asexuality.
