Another Conversaton with Crazy Carl - Politics Anyone?

We're geniuses. As always, this is an actual conversation between Carl and I:

Crazy Carl (12:50:57 PM): i'm so glad giuliani lost. he's probably the biggest doucheface on planet earth

Crazy Carl (12:51:24 PM): in the speech he gave announcing he was dropping out of the race... he said something like "i am proud of the positive campaign i ran"

Crazy Carl (12:51:53 PM): if by positive you mean bringing up the death of 4,000 americans every 10 seconds for your political gain, then you are correct.

Me (12:52:27 PM): ugh right?

Me (12:52:40 PM): didn't people notice from the beginning that no one from NY liked him?

Me (12:52:42 PM): isn't that a bad sign?

Me (12:52:46 PM): i don't even know why he ran...so stupid

Crazy Carl (12:52:49 PM): you would think.

Crazy Carl (12:52:58 PM): because he's an egotistical asshole thats why

Crazy Carl: Me (12:53:12 PM): sounds about right

Crazy Carl (12:53:32 PM): like, his own kids don't like him.

Crazy Carl (12:53:41 PM): if doesn't say something, i don't know what does.

Me (12:54:04 PM): right? lol

Crazy Carl (12:50:57 PM): i'm so glad giuliani lost. he's probably the biggest doucheface on planet earth

Crazy Carl (12:51:24 PM): in the speech he gave announcing he was dropping out of the race... he said something like "i am proud of the positive campaign i ran"

Crazy Carl (12:51:53 PM): if by positive you mean bringing up the death of 4,000 americans every 10 seconds for your political gain, then you are correct.

Crazy Carl (12:53:41 PM): if doesn't say something, i don't know what does.

Me (12:54:04 PM): right? lol

Crazy Carl (12:54:28 PM): i'm not celebrating... but i'm glad he failed.

Me (12:55:10 PM): yea

Me (12:55:19 PM): i'm so sick of our politics though...everything is SO fucked up

Me (12:55:47 PM): the media feeds us 3 candidates on each side and basically chooses for us the winner on each side, then we get to choose from 2 people to be president. seems kinda dumb no?

Crazy Carl (12:56:21 PM): true

Me (12:56:22 PM): other thing that pisses me off....media only talks about 1) polls and 2) strategy. why not tell us what each candidate stands for, what their views are, etc. god forbit we know what we're getting ourselves into

Crazy Carl (12:57:10 PM): because the media claims viewers don't care about that.

Crazy Carl (12:57:29 PM): but its a vicious cycle because how would you know they didn't care if you never aired that in the first place.

Crazy Carl (12:58:22 PM): i personally think the whole primary system is moronic.

Crazy Carl (12:58:43 PM): they should have a national primary thats a direct election. the way it is now is pretty much stupid, and makes no sense.

Me (1:03:15 PM): exactly

Me (1:03:23 PM): although, it would be the same thing

Me (1:03:36 PM): how would the candidates get their names and views out there before the national primary?

Me (1:03:45 PM): it would be the same bullshit

Me (1:03:54 PM): media tells us what we want/need to know, and that's it

Me (1:04:13 PM): there's still such a small percentage of people who go online to look for themselves instead of just listening to whatever they're told

Crazy Carl (1:04:31 PM): which is sad

Me (1:05:43 PM): but that's the truth

Me (1:06:01 PM): maybe kucinich was the right candidate for 80% of the people out there, but they'd never know it cause most don't even know who he is!

Crazy Carl (1:06:11 PM): very very true

Me (1:07:02 PM): even of the top 3, edwards barely gets any airtime...it's just obama and hillary and they keep him in there to let people think that they're showing a wide variety of candidates. and on the republican side? i have a hard time believing that Mitt Romney is the choice of so many. Maybe if the had more choices he wouldn't even be up there.

Me (1:07:08 PM): I mean, that man is CRAZY

Me (1:07:22 PM): and Mike H? forget it...he'd destroy the whole country

Crazy Carl (1:07:27 PM): agreed.

Crazy Carl (1:07:37 PM): edwards actually dropped out this morning, so its a two person race

Me (1:08:04 PM): he did?!

Me (1:08:15 PM): i had no idea

Me (1:08:30 PM): great...2 person race...sounds like everyone's perfect candidate is available to choose from~!

Me (1:08:32 PM): so stupid

Crazy Carl (1:08:37 PM): hahahahah.

Me (1:10:14 PM): i hate politics

Crazy Carl (1:10:33 PM): i hate people

Me (1:10:52 PM): people hate you

Me (1:11:00 PM): do you think politics hates me?

Crazy Carl (1:11:06 PM): i don't know.

Crazy Carl (1:11:10 PM): people don't hate me.

Crazy Carl (1:11:14 PM): they despise me.

Me (1:11:17 PM): hm

Me (1:11:23 PM): i think it's a loathing actually

Crazy Carl (1:11:28 PM): you think so?

Crazy Carl (1:11:40 PM): i'm very scorched earth about my relationships with people.

Me (1:11:49 PM): i mean, me personally? of course not. a majority of the world's population? probably

Crazy Carl (1:12:07 PM): years ago, i stopped trying to get people to stay in my life if they didn't really want to.

Crazy Carl (1:12:16 PM): and i'm very happy with it

Crazy Carl (1:13:49 PM): i used to really care about people liking me. now i really don't give a fuck.

Crazy Carl (1:14:02 PM): and i feel so much happier this way

Me (1:19:01 PM): you used to care? really? damn, i can't wait to see what NOT caring looks like

Me (1:19:03 PM): HA! lol
