HOPE vs. JOBS?

Really?

Is it trying to say "elect a democrat if you only want hope for the future, but elect a republican if you want jobs and a fixed economy"?

Not trying to start a political debate here, but wtf?

As best as I can tell, it's meant to advertise a game, and not directly a political advertisement.  I clicked on it once to see what it is, and as best as I could tell, the "game" seemed to be about as pathetic as the ad--but the ad was a good representation of what was in the "game".

Basically, they took the iconic Obama "hope" poster, and decided to make their own similar Romney poster.

If I am hoping for a job do I vote of Obomney?

Anyway I don't read the ads

MMORPG's and the majority of the staffs integrity went out the window years ago. Ignore it.

Here is how you can tell if a politician is lying....

Their lips are moving.

Real question-  if that's the case, why continue to support them and use their product? That is honestly one thing I've never understood; how someone can be so unsupportive and have such strong opinions on someone/something, but yet still support them.

I must have missed that ad, or they pulled it. All I see are the usual P2W Asian grinder ads with lots of T&A.

You can questions someone integrity and still it would be of use to you (like this site). That's like saying kill the person if they have a bad leg. Being able to process (pick a choose what is usful and what is not) information on this website (hell any information on the web) is a talent we should all be utilizing. Having a "you do or you don't" view is not the answer.

It's there....you just need to cycle thru the main page a few times. It comes up about every fifth time.

Yeah, it's really stupid. As someone who lives in America, I'm actually concerned about the election, and I hate simplified misrepresentation like this... I wouldn't say it's rigged, though, I just think the author of the game is using highly simplistic thinking and taking the two overused words in both of their platforms or something.

I lost faith in the fake American goverment last election.

I only have faith in our soldiers who risk their lives, while polictians lie.

Many of us don't. They recieve support through ad revenue. Many of us have those ads blocked/disabled so we never see them. Yet this site is one of a kind so we continue to use it.

We allowed the ad because it was for a gaming website (Gamify) and it is gaming related...their site apparently is some kind of politics online game, etc.

We don't allow ads for actual political campaigns on this website - but a game about politics is ok as long as it does not have a political agenda - and I could not see anything on the Gamify site that favored either one of these useless candidates ;-)

Use noscript then you won't see the stupid ad's.

Because talk is cheap and whiskey costs money.  Most people write checks with their mouth that their ass won't cash.

Or psychological projection.  Cocaine is a hell of a drug

 That's right and if everyone does that we can kill the free Internet as we know it...wouldn't that be great!

UK troops were always known as Lions led by donkeys, I'm sure the same applies in the US. The latter part of the phrase  was meant to apply to the senior officers but applies perfectly well to the politicians who cause all the wars...

Their ad was pathetic and tasteless and so was your answer. Best to give an answer and keep your opinion (however strongly you may feel) to yourself...

Ads on wikia gave me Vundo once.  So I always use noscript.
