Foreigners are fascinated with our politics. Why?

Quote from Gabfly1:

There is a reason why more capable, intelligent people are not saying it.

even tea partiers have finally figured out palin is unfit for office:



"What is interesting is that despite this support the majority of Tea Partiers would not consider voting for either: “Fifty-three percent of those surveyed said they would not even consider voting for Palin if she ran for president in 2012"

Yes, but not the reason you're thinking of. They're waiting for the right time. It's too early to step forward and fizzle out or give their opponents good lead time on defeating them.

Make no mistake, Palin is a goon, but what she says (for the most part) appeals to a LOT of people. A lot. And people who are angry are not going to be concerned with Republican missteps unless there is a serious one. As thing stand now, the left is going to be erased in November. I think they know it, too.

Exactly! They're using her for a rallying point, but few actually believe she'd make a good President (thankfully).

...It wasn't a vote for 0bama as much as a vote against Bush and the Republicans.

Really? Is that why he drew such large crowds unlike those ever seen in the US?

Quote from Gabfly1:

I would have voted for Obama if I were an American. Obama had the majority vote. The majority, by definition, is not an extreme fringe.

No, but if the majority were duped or FEEL that they were duped (like myself) then it's a one off.

A most expensive backlash... but how could we have known? OBAMA LIED (AND CONTINUES TO LIE) ABOUT FARKING EVERYTHING...

We were SUCKED-IN, AMERICA! WE'VE BEEN HAD BY PERHAPS THE GREATEST CON MAN OF ALL TIME...

Even P. T. Barnum (author of the phrase, "There's a sucker born every minute") would bow down and kiss Obama's ring.

You have an intelligent Constitutional scholar at the helm who really gives a shit about the country and its people. [/QUOTE


I do think 0bama is intelligent and gives a shit, however Constitutional scholar?



0bama kept the Patriot Act. Which no doubt you bashed Bush for.


0bama will force individuals to pay for health insurance.

He is doing his best to do as he promised. There is no duping going on. He is operating in a hostile environment because the sore losers are doing everything in their power to obstruct him, regardless of the cost to country.

You've just said it.. and many others have to. Frankly, I don't see it. (Sounds like y'all have just parrot-ed somebody else's vile spew...)

The negative rap on her is overdone and not deserved.
