But at the same time, it bothers me greatly that a presidential candidate would make such a big deal out of something so insignificant. Personally, I want a president that will get us out of Iraq, realistically address the national debt, and limit the power of the federal government. I think that makes it pretty obvious who my choice is, but I unfortunately can't vote for him in the primaries because I'm affiliated with the wrong party. Oops! :( Game-related issues aside though, Clinton and Romney are coincidentally the two candidates I dislike the most in this race. I probably won't even vote if they end up being my two choices in November. On one hand, I’d say that it’s pretty sad to decide who to vote for based on a non-issue like video games.

maybe the economy wouldn’t be *dwindling* if Pinko “save-ists” like yourself would get out there and spend!!

if you don’t buy every iPod iteration and all PSP LEs the day they come out, you’re a terrorist.

I'd rather not go through that. I don’t want to vote for Ron Paul, cause he might found an underwater dystopian society based on libertarian ideals and gene splicing, like Andrew Ryan.

Funny this afternoon I was just discussing w/ my boss about the stock market, dwindling US economy, and election, in general. Still, can't imagine anyone in their sane mind would want to ban/censor video games, maybe we should all just play rock, paper, scissors, as EGM put it..

I can't go through that again. I don’t want to vote for Obama, cause he might die early, like the black cop in RE2.
