The Vent / Metro

People die around the world WISHING that they could vote. What is wrong with the USA when more people care to vote for a dancer or a singer than our President?

Sadly, that Xfinity Voice commercial where the guy says "I do" while listening to a text message during a wedding is a great example of how rude and discourteous people have become with their cellphones.

Score: 519

Why do some Democrat's criticize rich executives but not the rich celebrities who endorse Obama?

Score: 434

Is anything ever Obama's fault or responsibility? Ever?

Score: 431

Many voters are not even aware that the electorial college does not have to vote the way the majority of the voters wished. Hey, even the Supreme Court doesn't have to go with the majority. BUT you cannot gripe if you did not vote.

Score: 353

I've traveled all over this country and Atlanta, Georgia has the worst radio stations anywhere. What happened? Why do other cities half the size of Atlanta have more good stations than will fit in the dial while Atlanta has none anymore?

Score: 352

I've said it before, if you vote for someone based on a campaign slogan, you get a marketing idea, not a leader. The marketing slogan didn't work, so now we need a leader.

Score: 333

I beg to disagree with you, but Wal-Mart DID NOT cause the China invasion. To learn that answer you need only to look in a mirror. The shoppers unwilling to pay for the $15-20/Hr. union seamstress is the REAL culprit.

Score: 324

So, I was really frustrated with the nonsense and prices of flying and decided to check on taking Amtrak from Atlanta to Dallas, TX. It's more expensive and you to have to go to Washington, DC, then Chicago and then, finally, Dallas - one way trip is over 64 hours!! Who does that?

Score: 291

The goal in life is to try and become a productive member of society. Government appears only to want to help those that produce the least in life!

Score: 286

An accused murderer near Atlanta has "waived a scheduled court appearance...for the second time in two days." Since when does the accused do the waiving? If a defendant can do that, he can stay out of court, thus never convicted, indefinitely. What kind of nonsense "justice" is that?

Score: 202

And the Democrat party hasn't put party loyalty before it's allegiance to this country? Take a look at Benghazi and make that statement again about Republicans being party loyalists....

Score: 196

Remember it's the late worm that avoids the early bird

You do realize that charter schools ARE public schools, don't you?

Score: 159

I regularly commute the top-end perimeter. The new paving came out really well. Good job, DOT. Thanks!

Score: 153

Of course we need the state to take over the decisions on Charter Schools. Governor Deal still has some friends that need jobs.

Score: 130

Let's recap:2 Billion and counting with both sides "Lawyering Up" for the dispute in election results. Sure sounds like "for the people" and "by the people' to me" All I can say is two "Super Pac Hacks"

Score: 123

When did Hwy. 60 in N.Ga. become a race track for non-street legal motorcycles and why isn't Union and Fannin counties enforcing the laws?

Score: 110

Does anyone within the Newton County school system have any guts to stand up against a law that is being ridiculously applied?

Score: 75

When the charter schools do better it is because they exclude students who do not do well. We need to educate all our population to prepare them for jobs and citizenship.

Score: 50

I voted this week, but NOT for anyone who has signed a pledge to NEVER raise taxes.

Score: 43

Trump's charity offer expires on Halloween...'nuff said!

Score: 42

When is GDOT going to put in a sound barrier on route 400? Fulton County has one and Forsyth needs one.

Score: -14

Ciara's new video is rather Janet Jacksonesque. Get some creativity/originality girl.

Score: -30

The "Rock Star" label is reserved for Ron Paul who continues to draw more people to events than Romney. Freedom is an idea that draws big crowds and big cheers.

Score: -30

Regardless of who wins, he will be MY President.

Score: -32

It saddens me that the top vent is completely inaccurate. People really need to educate themselves. The rampant ignorance is scary.

Score: -44

We should elect a president like we pick American Idol winners. Just keep voting candidates off until there are just two left. Then have a big finish and pick the winner. Then we wouldn't have to keep listening to all this campaign nonsense.

Score: -119

A brilliant rich businessman they say. Buying, Selling, Flippn' and Strippn' businesses, will do a better job.

Score: -125

If we go by our forefathers' intent concerning the 2nd amendment, all we could be carrying is a one shot musket. A deranged sniper could only kill/injure one person and would be stopped before he could reload.

Score: -184

People from North Carolina are yankees and should stay out of the Vent!

Score: -251

And I cannot forget Mitch McConnell's "we will make Obama a one term President" within 2 weeks of his election. The GOP put their own personal agenda above the greater good of the country. OBAMA 2012.

Score: -272

The Republicans have done everything they could during the last four years to make Obama look bad, with no thought of helping the country. How can I help but think they will only look after their own selfish interests if Romney is elected?
