Thread: US Presidential Campaign 2008

Ya, and I'm getting bored with know-it-all Euros and antipodeans deciding the US prez race. I actually will agree with you all that Americans are stupid if they do pick BO.

Anyway, here's a real unbiased vid on the race.

You are right as usual Jet, it should be decided by the Canadians

So that is to say that you agree with Boon Mee, Earl, attaboy etc.

So, no change there then. What next; in late breaking news water's wet? This just in: the sun's really, really hot? Snow is cold?

Jet can you tell us why You think that you are entitled to an opinion and Europeans and antipodeans aren't?

Jet Palin: 'Err, because the US is really close and I can see it from here...on a fine day...with good visibility...and like a telescope or sumfing. Yes, I think that qualifies me as a foreign policy expert'.

Everyone's entitled to an opinion.

Sadly, some are worthwhile and meaningful while others are mere fantasy.

Indeed. Apparently you have to be American to have a worthwhile opinion.



Or Canadian.

100 % right there me old buddy Tex, I just find it strange that Jet thinks she is the only one entitled to an opinion. she has much effect on the outcome as us know it all Euros

My first thought at reading this post

I didn't realise that Euros and Kiwi-Skippies 'decided' the elections

Because, unlike us, she desperately wants to be a citizen of the USofA

I can see Mount Baker from my house.

Exactly.
I've talked all my American buds into voting Republican (even the ones who have always voted Republican). I've also campaigned to ensure my NY colleagues vote Republican, too. In sum, that's 1,267 surrogate votes so far by ME.

thats great, but why do you think you have more right to an opinion than Europeans?

I work for a US firm. I am paid in greenbacks. I invest in US securities. My family is from there (after coming from the old countries in Europe). I can see Mount Baker from my house. I know how to shoot a gun. My BIL drinks Budweiser. The US has the best camping and shooting spots south of the 49th. Our best Canadian hockey players are on US teams. I love America.

I lived there for a third of my life, i have family living there at the minute, the USA is a neighboring country to mine, I have financial interests there also. where do the Americans refuel on their way to bombing missions?you still haven't answered the question. why do you qualify to have an opinion and Europeans don't?

That's an effort?

If the adage birds of a feather flock together has any truth, convincing your "friends" to vote Republican should not have taxed your energy much.

^ Not all are Reps, Norts. Many were demos.

Gosh. This sounds like a Jeopardy quiz question. Lemmeesee...USA is a neighbouring country to yours...so if you ain't in beaverland you must be in Mexico or mebbe Iceland or maybe ALASKA!!! (OK, not a country but up there). Where do Yanks refuel for bombing...Japs are reworking on that near India I think.
Why do I have an opinion? That's the whole point, flasher. I do have an opinion. Euros are brainfed socialist rhetoric for the most part. From what I see, they just regurgitate what their leftie papers tell them. They want America to suffer like they do with mega taxes and mega government. Main reason why many move to Thailand. No controls, freedom!!! but AHHHHH still getting all those free bennies from those poor suck workers paying taxes back home for their freebies.
You can cast a vote at The Economist website on the US election if it will make you feel better.

That has got to be one of the [unintentionally] funniest things I have read on here. Ever.

Only because you probably aren't paying your fair share of taxes in Kiwiland.

Katherine Harris (Florida Secretary of State during the 2000 election) is still around to teach people how to stop a recount.

Scroll down the page a bit to see her on a horse.

Odd, isn't it that all these newspapers that don't advocate the swastika and burning crosses while wearing white bedsheets are socialist.

Please, please Jet . . . read up on what really is socialist as you sound ever so silly using this word so perilously out of context all the time and it is very difficult ro take anything you say seriously.

The EU's founding charter states the groups belief in the market system and free trade. However Jet doesn't like dealing in facts much. No point wasting your time flash
