Lightbulb The one reason it is important to vote for Obama

65 percent of Americans say Obama better suited to handle alien invasion than Romney (Yahoo)

That settles it.

Aliens are like foreign children to Obama. He's happy to kill them.

Whatever, but Obama is a more experienced and ruthless killer than Romney who would simply tie alien invaders to his car roof and take them on holiday with him.

Weighed against the children and other innocents that the intended targets of these strikes would kill if left alone, I believe he has saved more innocent lives than he has killed on balance.

It's a cold calculation. Inaction has its consequences too.

According to many experts in the field Obama's random, family-murdering drones, unsurprisingly, fuel terrorism so inaction, in this case, would mean less terrorism. But American's, apparently don't care about killing foreign children (and other aliens) and that's why we should vote for him.

A lawyer investigates attacks by alien invaders in Pakistan :

"Behram established a notification system based on walkie-talkies and a trusted network of sources across the region where curfews and rough terrain can make it difficult to travel quickly from one area to another. When the attacks occur nearby, as many do to his home in Miramshah, he says he is often the first one with a camera at the site. Entire buildings are reduced to rubble heaps. Residual fires burn in nearby homes or businesses. Crowds gather to dig through the wreckage for survivors and gather body parts."

Go Obama! Kill dem aliens! Yes, we can!

But what you don't know is that Romney has a dozen victims buried in blue barrels under his "car elevator."

What if the children of these aliens were saucered in here by their parent invaders? Would they get amnesty, in state tuition, free healthcare?

It’s not their fault their parents brought them here. Why should they be punished?

The substance and timing of this article is probably less about the election, and more about the new Chasing UFOs series premiering on the National Geographic channel tomorrow night (6/28).

I like the word "Kolob" because it makes me thinks of kebabs.

That is all I have to contribute to this discussion.

It's also the other way around: random, family-murdering terrorism fuels drone attacks. If they want the drone attacks to stop, they should stop the terrorism.

My bests thoughts about our certain demise at the hands of alien invaders always include a last-moment ironic Epiphany.

After our major population centers are softened up with a barrage of redirected asteroids - THEN we'd wish we had that universal healthcare coverage, and consider that the incoming asteroids reminded us of giant drones.
