Foreigners are fascinated with our politics. Why?

Quote from Scataphagos:

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.

Here is the view on Palin from the far right. Gab on the left would say she's a nut job. Middle of the roaders like Ivan are - middle of the road on Palin.

But to say her negative rap is undeserved amounts to selective hearing/seeing/reading. Where have you been the past two years where Palin has made a fool of herself time and time again?

Writing notes on your hand?.....come on.
 
Quote from Free Thinker:

given what we know now and given that we only had two choices. obama or mccain. i think obama has shown to be the best choice.

Flawed democracy.
 
Quote from Ivanovich:

From what I know of you (on this board) you would be an example of the right fringe, and while many of your points I agree with, I think some of your philosophies are neither realistic nor moderate enough to consider.

Well, you're well off the mark. I'm not Right Wing about anything.

You've probably deduced (incorrectly) that I'm an Extreme Right Winger... just because I'm SO VEHEMENTLY AGAINST OBAMA AND ALL LEFTISTS.

I took one of those online polls... to see "where I stand politically"...

Polls says, I'm moderately above the middle Right and moderately Libertarian... and with that, I HATE THE LEFTISTS... they are anti-American.... don't deserve to live in the US.. they should all move to Venezuela where Hugo can run their lives to all's content... Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Oprah, Sean Penn, Tom Hanks, Garofalo, Ohlberman, John Stewart.. all them aholes.

I'm not an extremist on ANY view... except for the desire for personal freedom and small, constitutionally authorized government... you know, THE PRINCIPLES UPON WHICH AMERICA WAS FOUNDED UPON!

I think of myself as a Constitutional Moderate.
 
Oh, so you took an on line poll to define yourself?

How inventive...

I'm vehemently against the Leftist... but that doesn't mean I'm equally in favor or the Right extreme...

i will say something positive about palin. she is a smart businesswoman. she is in league with some of the best tv preachers in terms of her ability to fleece the sheep.
 
Quote from Gabfly1:

Like the fish that you are, you'll bite anything that sparkles. Our 'conservative" government is probably equivalent to, or left of, your Democrat party.

You're wrong on this one, Gab. Conservatives in Canada, while nowhere near as right as Republicans in the USA, are certainly not on par with Democrats...

You need look no further than the two parties' policy on taxation. A specific example being the new Harmonized Sales Tax being put in place by the Ontario Liberal government. S

Agreed. Kudos to her for making so much money with her book and public speaking appearences. In that respect, she is very smart. But in terms of running a country, or even a state, she has no clue.

And the GST was introduced by Conservative Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.
 
So if one of the bimbos Tiger Woods did writes a book and makes money, that makes her very smart?

Something is very wrong with a value system that when a person quits their job in the middle of it, then leverages their fame to cash in and be opportunistic, taking advantage of the lower class and diminished capacity Americans, parading around her deformed baby, preaching abstinence while her own daughter gets knocked up...to line her own pockets, that she if is seen as anything less than a used car salesman type scamming for money...then the value system of this country is degraded beyond imagination...
