    Mitt Romney is not an idiot based on his record. He was born rich and will die richer.
    And, he contributed his entire inheritance - gave it all away so the money he's got now is like, 'fresh funds' as they call it at the Bank.

    It's not even debatable. They are all the same horses backed by the same corporations! Why do people even bother to vote anymore?

    What hope does America have.

    I slag off America and dumb Septics once in a while, but looking from the outside at he USA, UK and EU, I'd say a fuckin lot more hope than the latter two.

    So they have clowns for presidents, including the weak face-conscious present clown, but what they do have that's positive and seems to have died and been buried in the UK and EU, is a fighting spirit.

    What's the point of supporting the decomposed UK and EU. I'd much rather support the US. It's still alive even if it is fighting for it's life.

    They haven't rolled over yet. Despite Obama's efforts. That deserves some respect. Especially as they really are the last hope of those that value freedom.

    Yea I know, zombie. It's a mess. But there still is a spark of life that is not evident in the UK or the USSE.

    I was thinking the same thing on a flight the other day. We hit some turbulence, which always give me the total shits and makes me want to cry like a toddler. But instead, like a man, I just grip the arm rests with hands like vices and close my eyes and pray to the God that used to exist when I was a kid.

    But anyway after the bumps stopped I was thinking if the plane crashed on water or a survivable land crash and I am not near an exit I wonder if it would be possible to kick the window out from the inside. I have never heard of this being done so I guess they are stuck in there pretty hard, to cope with cabin pressure etc.. I thought judging by the size that it might be possible to squeeze through, hard to say, definitely not if you are a fat bastard.

    The other windows that cause me problems are taxi windows. Why is it that taxi drivers insist on driving with the window open in the middle of winter? You are sitting there freezing your nuts off because the driver is wearing a snow jacket and body warmer with the window down and every other car that drives past has its windows up unless its a taxi in which case the window will be down. What is up with that? I would vote for Romney if he would legislate for taxi driver's windows to be welded shut so they use the aircon in summer like they are meant to and the heater in winter like they are meant to.

    Romney's not stupid. If he were stupid the sharks would have cleaned him out decades a ago.

    He appears not to have a sense of timing when he tells a joke. He sped right thru the airplane window joke as if he were trying to tell it with a dry sense of humor only him being a fast talker it didn't go over well. A fast talker with a dry sense of humor is a difficult thing to master. The guy is funny. Most people aren't tuned to hearing it. Romney is like the anti-matter version of Steven Wright.

    The real idiot is Rachael Maddcow of MSNBC who couldn't discern he was joking. How that woman hasn't gotten herself killed yet is testimony to those people who go straight from the office into a limousine and straight to their NYC apartment. For a person like her to do otherwise is to risk death.

    Now I appear to be defending Romney. I hate that.

    Surely, anybody with a serious opinion worth noting/discussing, cannot present something like this as a point. You just gotta be joking.

    No cynical about this but realistic.

    When someone is that wealthy they can do these things.

    He was born loaded and is loaded now.

    As someone pointed out, who is president is of little consequence.
    The election runs on a couple of kneejerk points that have little or no effect on how the country will be run (guns,god,abortion).
    Corporations run the country now, congress and the senate tick over at their behest while the prez runs the bread and circus show.

    Americans always have hope. It's in their nature. Even when they're doing the opposite.
    In contrast, the miserable pommy bastards to which I was born think hope rhymes with dope.

    Looper. The way to cure this is to go for a ride in a light aircraft like say a Cessna. Perfectly safe but this do move around a bit.

    Then any turbulence you feel in a large airliner will seem like you are simply sitting in a bus. You will also notice that a lot of the motion of a large aircraft is side-to-side not necessarily up and down.

    You've obviously never experienced turbulance in a large aircraft then.

    And yet history shows that it was those 'miserable pommy bastards' who put their money where their mouths are and take action to stop power being abused. Everyone else followed...

    Just in awe of their ability to be completely ignorant of everything that's going on around them. Impressed by their ability to make a drama out of nothing as well.

    National jokes are one thing, but the inner angst of nationality-whinging is quite common in certain expat communities.

    I sit back with a smile. Those at the top are always scorned.

    Mitt is an Idiot. A rich idiot. Just imagine how much richer he would be if he were not an idiot. He may have supposedly given away his inheritance, but he did not give away his family connections that made him his fortune nice and easy.

    Obama is a lilly livered pussy as well.

    but it doesn't matter because luckily the CEOs of the fortune 500 firm who actually run USAmart inc are smart cookies, althoguh all they want to do it feather their own nests.

    Will never will change whilst business fund politics in return for favours. US politicians are all whores.
