In case you are still undecided keep in mind 80% of the FRENCH
would vote for Obama. That could be a good reason to vote for him.
LOL! Just kidding folks....I am always fascinated though that our
media thinks it matters what the FRENCH think about how the USA
should be run.
rgoodwin-Obama is a rock star around the world lol...every foreigner
I know loves Obama, I'm sure teenage girls in Europe will scream
and faint when he visits there lol. Europe is much more
socialistic than the US, so they like Obama. The best I could
hope for would be some grid lock in the gov, the worst would be a
total majority where everything in the world gets passed
not a fan of obama and mccain is just plain nuts, but france was
right about Iraq, and the wmds and oil contracts. if
Bush, Irag and the last 8 years of fascism is what
america came up with when left to their own devices I say lets
listen to some advice and adjust our compass!@ ...viva la
france!
the same france that saved us from the British by destroying its
fleet at yorktown! the same that essentially created this nation
when we were on the verge of defeat!
a sense of history, please! - america has become a fascist
cartoon of world domination! we don't have to become socialist to
find a new direction. we do have to find a new direction
however.
also here is a challenge for you - free enterprise and
capitalism are not the same. capitalism can and does often lead to
where we are: inefficient and stagnant aggregate monopolies who
control the governement to the exclusion of free enterprise! GM
used to be an example of american strength. now they are a perfect
example of how unchallenged paradigms in an unquestioned capitalist
enviornment lead to decay. the pirates of modern american
corporatism believe in is robbing the consumer and jumping ship
with their payoff. innovation is dead in america. greed is all
that's left.
anyway, fascism is socialism! so, in every sense we are as
socialist as france right now. americans love their myths!
sorry, but i don't find either of your banter helpful and maybe
you could fins a political blog or message board...this is not what
this site is here for....I believe matt would agree..
we were founded as a non-party republic. jefferson wrote
much about the evils of party politics and how it would destroy the
nation. the two evils he envisioned were politcal parties and
standing armies.
let me ask you - why do you believe in free markets in economics
but not in politics?
would you be alright with just two national car
manufacturers, or just two national electronics firms?
multi-party systems work all over the world and have less
corrupt elections than ours - eg, OHIO 2004, Florida 2000!
of people (rightly or wrongly how people think) reckon he will
end up as JFK did.
Now I am just saying this, cos it is being said, I personally
like him; although some of the
U tubevids I have seen (especially the fox news
one) just proves how some people go out of their way to damage the
guys rep....sad really
