Now that the caucuses are in full swing and the frontrunner's to win the whole shebang and shaboodle have shown cracks in their political armor the size of a baby's head, how long do you guys think it will take for the politicians to retreat from issues like foreign policy and immigration to battle on comfortable turf?
This common battleground where everyone has a fighting chance usually ands up being the family values arena, and in this arena Master Chief and Marcus Fenix alike are perpetually tried for murder in the court of public opinion by Politicians that propose to have the best interests of their community, children, their particular faith, and the country in mind. "They are killing hookers in these games for godsakes!" "Murder Simulators." "Manhunt...something...statistic...EVIL!!"
And not to defend their position, but there is always an willing ally, a Benedict Arnold, if you will, in their fight against common common sense and having to address real issues which are vital to the continuation of this Union.
You know him, you may live with him. His is that one semi retarded dude in your gaming circle that embarrasses the hell out of you, but you need him sometimes for co-op achievements. He is the one spewing racist, homophobic, batshit insane hate speech over live, but to you he dismisses it by saying, im not really bad, but I just love "Hearin' these idiots get all pissed off." He was the guy that bragged about body slamming his sister like triple H, stopping the move just short of breaking her neck, while you averted your eyes and feigned interest only long enough to get out of the room.
This is the guy that they are looking for, and I can't say that I blame them. But please, lets all get together and for this election cycle, keep our idiots off of live and anywhere else that they may bring unwanted attention to this ever so small sanctuary that we created for ourselves. Its going to be a great year for games, and I for one want to play them and not talk about them.
Please!
