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

AntRobertson

Flash beat me to it.
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?

AntRobertson

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'.

Texpat

Everyone's entitled to an opinion.

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

AntRobertson

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

I hadn't logged on . . . you both beat me to it.

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

But we still read your posts . . .

Jet Gorgon

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?

Jet Gorgon

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.

flash

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.

Jet Gorgon

^ 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.

AntRobertson

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

Mr Earl

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.
