Phube Posted 30 September 2008 Posted 30 September 2008 An American was on Question Time the other month and said something I would imagine to be true; that nearly all but the most extreme right wing Brits would be Democrats over in the USA. Even me being a Tory would agree. So Obama ALL the way...
Ultra Posted 3 October 2008 Posted 3 October 2008 I think the current Wall Street crash has virtually sealed McCain's fate. The only way he and Palin can win now is by playing the race card.
Guest Posted 3 October 2008 Posted 3 October 2008 Did anybody watch the VP debate last night? Christ on a bike, Palin has a way of just completely circumventing the question she was asked and wandering off on a complete tangent. I'd vote for Obama personally
Uncle Monty Posted 5 October 2008 Posted 5 October 2008 The smear campaign by McCain and Palin will work and will be voted in. Tis a shame though, i knew a guy that was painting obama's mums house in hawaii
LeeCovFox Posted 6 October 2008 Posted 6 October 2008 Thats not true at all. She's more of a Reagan than anything, she's been picked to appeal to hardworking families because despite his pandering to them, McCain would normally have won some of the voter's Obama's focusing on- educated centrists.Do you even know what a Neo-conservative is or are you just tarring all Republicans with the same brush (again)? What are you basing her "gung-ho approach to foreign affairs" on? She doesn't have an approach! She's governor of Alaska! Reagan had a foreign policy as Neo-conservative as that of Bush, if not more so. Look into his quest to spread "liberal democracy" in Latin America. He also included men such as Bush Snr, Rumsfeld and Cheney in his closest network of advisors and in his cabinet. Reagan was without doubt a Neo-con. Some of Palin's comments would suggest that she may also be, and it is well worth remembering that McCain has voted for over 90% of Bush's policies in the Senate. They are a dangerous pairing. The only thing that would prevent them from continuing Bush's "War on Terror" on other fronts is the American military's current practical inability to do so. Also, they certainly cannot be trusted with the economy. Thankfully for them, somebody else managed to cock it up so they, if elected, have somebody else to blame. I'm not a great fan of Obama. He, to me, is very much in the Clinton/Blair mould, very much driven by a clinical, media savvy staff, and very possible all talk no trousers. Blair won a two landslides and never, ever, went as far as he could and should have done. That, for a politician given such a huge mandate based on his promises is unforgiveable. I fear that Obama, who based on recent polls could receive a massive popular and collegiate mandate from the electorate, will be no different in America. I hope I'm wrong, but even if I am not, he is infinitely preferable to McCain/Palin.
AmericanScott Posted 6 October 2008 Posted 6 October 2008 Wow, i feel embarrassed. I should know more about American politics than you guys! To be honest though, i don't give a rats who wins. I'll never vote in my life. End of.
