More mindless liberal blather. I dont take my political beliefs from games, unlike you, it seems.

I just thought it was funny, myself. I mean, it's hardly the most serious thing ever.

It's horribly one-sided, and troughout the game I had a constant feeling of 'I basically agree with what you're saying, but must I really believe everything you say?'.
And the way most of the 'bad guys' were depictred was downright childish.

:) Well, that was like 27 different types of f***ed up.

Once again, what seems like a good idea, poorly executed.

Hehe i enjoyed the game. Even if its totally pro-Kerry it shows quite nicely what Bush is doing. And no, i am not in he US so i dont really get to affect things.

It was pretty funny. Good points too, you should make a point to listen to the political ideas, not just the jokes. Of course it's one sided though, because the point is to show Bush's bad points, not show a fair and balanced view.

It's nice how the "New America is depicted" wasn't that great? (That was sarcasm). Its games like that which bring down the American Image. Hmmm, I didn't see the World Trade Centers in there, or any suicide bombers, where was the Americans who are being beheaded? That is what I thought, there wasn't any. All that game did was use half of a little bit of the truth, warped it so it’s unfeasible and bashed the U.S in general. It makes me sick to the stomach. And I'm not even American.

Please. It didn't bash America. It bashed Bush. Opposing a leader who you believe is destroying America is NOT the same thing as being Anti-American.

Oh, I see, then why was the Statue of LIBERTY involved so much?

Yeah, that was my thing too, it would have been way better had they taken that stuff out-plus I really thought the Statue of Liberty stuff was uncalled for.

Sheesh, people take this game far too seriously. The information it presented was interesting, but hardly new or earthshaking and, frankly, the wheelchair bound, but leaping Christopher Reeve was a hoot to play. Perhaps instead of getting all angry and defensive about an innovative marketing strategy designed to target younger, more apathetic voters, those who disagree with the game should fight fire with fire and develop their own "message game" showing the evils of Kerry and the virtues of Bush.

You should also do a game spoofing saddam and osama. And yes we had no right to go into Iraq but Saddam still sucks.

I could totally see that, it would have Rumsfeld with a shotgun and Kerry would lead zombie hordes.

-Nothing against Kerry specifically, I just think the dude looks like a zombie.

-Also, I think Rumsfeld is the most shotgun-equippable of the available characters.

-Finally, you can't have zombies and not have shotguns.

Oh, my. Someone seems to have missed the glut of horrible 'Nuke Saddam' Flash games that testosterone-muddled thirteen-year-olds have been making for the last three years or so.

And yes, Saddam does suck. However, I feel I should also point out that testosterone-muddled thirteen-year-olds have yet to produce a game about Pinochet, whom I feel is much more deserving.

Speaking as a conservative... dear god, that was a great game. Hilarious, too.

Cheney and Rove were my favorite bosses. But I really only liked Cheney because I could have him kill Jesus, Michael Moore, Christopher Reeves the Fetus Vampire (God, I love South Park.), AND Howard Dean. Over. And over. And over again.

The logic is simple: They're indulging in a bunch of completely innacurate and unfeasable dreams... I figure I get the right to do so using their own engine.

This has reminded me of another Liberal-themed game, the freeware Liberal Crime Squad. It oughtn't be difficult to find by Google.

Liberal Crime Squad is a sorta-Roguelike that pits you, The Liberal, along with whatever other activists you recruit, in a quest to overturn the Conservative government and laws. To these ends, you may raise money through donations or selling 'brownies,' perform demonstrations, or just going around and causing trouble - smashing sweatshop machinery, freeing animals in cosmetics labs, or finding and publishing information that the Intelligence Agencies and assorted rich folks would rather keep under wraps. It's all devilishly difficult, but very funny.
