Reply to: US Elections

[TheFaQQer]

I'm with Obama on this one - McCain hasn't got a clue, plus is only one dodgy tick away from leaving Palin with the finger on the button.

As Matt Damon said - this isn't an election, it's a Disney movie where the hockey mom can suddenly become president with no ability, history or skills!

here's a huge thread on the subject so no need to respond:

I like Palin.

what's to like about her?

[Incognito]

No, but still, given the choice I’d still say Obama’s a better bet than McCain. In fact, I’d say Benny Hill’s a better choice than anyone who lets Sarah Palin anywhere near the White House.

I like Palin.

Osama will win it.

This is politics, not friendship we're talking about here. You wouldn't campaign on behalf of someone unless you felt an affinity with their political views.

No. I know a guy who’s an unrepentant Marxist. I’m not a socialist. I know another bloke who’s a devout catholic. I’m not. One of my colleagues, with whom I get on quite well is a headscarf wearing muslim woman. That doesn’t make me a muslim.

Anyway, even if he is a socialist it’s better than giving that Palin woman half a chance of getting power.

Still not convinced he's a Socialist?

BTW Posting links to articles in very right wing magazines doesn't actually help your argument.

I hardly think we'd find an article like that in 'The New Socialist' now would we.

BTW Swallowed the republican party propaganda machine's output hook line and sinker then?

You can disagree with the reasoning behind that article, but I'm afraid the facts are true. He has had links to all those organisations and William Ayers.

Now getting away from the religious scaremongering that this article rustles up, I'm using it to point out associations between Obama and Raila Odinga. A little quote from the article:

This was not Mr. Odinga's first brush with notoriety. Like his father, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, the main opposition leader in the 1960s and 1970s, Raila Odinga is a Marxist He graduated from East Germany's Magdeburg University in 1970 on a scholarship provided by the East German government. He named his oldest son after Fidel Castro.

Still not convinced he's a Socialist?

Obama will win - narrowly. He will be assassinated before he takes office, triggering massive civil unrest in the US as it will bring all the political, religious economic and race issues to a head.

...and Joe Biden will then emerge to be one of the best presidents the US has ever had.

IMHO.

You've been watching too much 24.

I don't trust Obama one bit, he's a man built on deceit and lies and you just have to look at his pledge to take state funding as an example of the character of the man. Google on how he won the Illinois state senate seat to see his tactics (note: you won't find it on his Wiki page, it's self-edited).

Obama got his political education from people who made Scargill look like a Liederhosen wearing Far right Austrian.

But because Acorn and the likes are all about 'empowering' black communities, the American press are reluctant to get into it for fear of the racism thing when it's not really about race and more about communism re-invented.

Explain to me how you support the poorer members of society without spending more ?

Can you find a link that said Tony Blair and Gordon Brown would increase taxes?

Very few politicians will state that they will raise taxes in an election campaign. Blair said in 1997 'we have no plans to raise taxes'. At the time I remember thinking 'what a liar !!'.

A question answered with two questions and load of irrelevant twaddle about UK politics on a thread about the US election.

However, on the general point, you're right, they all lie, Bush Senior famously got elected on his "read my lips" promise, then put up taxes. Last time I looked, he wasn't a socialist either.

[Mich the Tester]

... but that still involves spending that same money !!

It does, but it's probably cheaper and perhaps less destructive.

Anyway, I think they should spend more on space exploration instead of all these boring things like war, food coupons and banks. Give us something entertaining for our taxes.
