Don't you just wish there was an easy way to identify Democrats and Republicans that didn't require DNA testing? Well, now there is! Hitting
Xbox Live a few nights ago were a pair of free gamerpics that showcased the logos of both Presidential candidates in the Xbox Live Rock the Vote promotional menu. Now you can showoff your favorite candidate in between your daily grind of Team Slayer.
Promoting the importance of selecting the next President of the United States, Rock the Vote allows gamers to register, download awesome music videos and anti-gaming politicians even promise to stop calling all gamers potential ticking time bombs! We'll let you decide which part was a joke. You're right, those videos are probably crap.

Voting for the American President is an open declaration that you don't understand American Politics.
Your vote does not matter.

Why on earth would anyone want a McCain gamerpic? On the same note, why would anyone on earth vote for McCain?

It's a mystery. Unless some of the commentators on this page are pretty clever trolls it looks like he's got some of them roped in.

While I agree with not understanding using McCain or Obama as a gamer pic, I have to ask why on earth would anyone vote for Obama.

Some people have different reasons or opinions that make them decide to vote one way or another... and guess what, everyone doesn't agree with you.
That being said, I want to keep my handguns and automatic rocket launchers. Obama is also too young and inexperienced to be president during this time of conflict. My opinion, of course. :)

Now if I'm playing Halo and I see someone with an Obama gamer pic, I will personally make them my only target in the game, I really don't care if I lose (I'll still win though). I just can't stand people that want to vote for him or his policies. They'll be jumping along with there BR in hand and then they'll get picked off by a single sniper bullet to the head. (This is not a death threat to Obama, just to people who have his gamer pic and only to there personal Halo character, thank you and have nice day)

Obama's policies?
Let's see..... none of his supporters should be playing Halo since "guns are bad m'kay" but I suppose you might find one or two in there who have a team of lawyers or happen to be wealthy upper class folks with pull like Stallone who have been able to prove to lord government they are capable of not going off on a rampage but if you do I wouldn't shoot any of them. You'll be made to pay for their healthcare.
Obama supporters bother me so much. They are quite possibly the most duped group of empty headed idiots since the republicans that kept insisting Bush was conservative last election (there isn't a conservative nbone in that mans body). Ask any of them what he's done that makes him worth their support and you get dumb and lost facial expressions, bumper sticker slogan recitals and "change." Maybe if I met one who actually expressed the ability to reason I'd feel differently but until then I'll happily join you on your quest to target any player with an Obama pic.
I have a good friend voting for him. When I asked why he rattled off all these position statements Obama had supposedly made. After looking it up for myself not one of the positions my buddy believed were Obamas were true, in fact, it was usually the opposite. When confronted with the evidence and asked to clarify he told me he was still voting for Obama. What is that? Some kind of brainwashing?
Sorry, that's quite a rant.

Please tell me that was a rant on Obama and not me because by the way you said it I thought you were implying that I supported Obama (which there is no way that I do or ever will). Trust me what I said is reflected in taking them out in Halo, not real the real world. You are right that Obama's "policies" are nothing but garbage.

never mind, I must of skipped some parts but you are with me, now to start a clan against Obama and to get a stupid edit button available for these comments so we don't have to double post.

Where's the Libertarian pics? Ahhh, that's right the only party that can truly offer change to America is being duped by the mainstream yet again...ohwell. Maybe next time.
Aren't we ready for a three party system yet? Especially this year with such poor candidates to choose from? Voting for J.M. or B.O. is a worthless vote. If you really want change vote LIBERTARIAN!!!
