Waiting with interest 7:33pm on 04 Nov 2008 Hullo! a quick personal statement from a brit in Canada, but near the border! If you posters could only be here, watching and listening to the utter tosh, bias, and simmering undercurrent of racism from "highly respected" news organisations, you'd be shouting at the telly and demanding that your licence fee be refunded forthwith! Can't do that here see? Right now,one has to sit through in just the political sphere, an old man in braces (CNN), every question written in BIG writing, and look Larry, you don't HAVE to hear the whole answer, as we will cut to a commercial every 10 seconds, we'll be right back! treating candidates, pundits etc like celebs, and you KNOW that every celebrity's opinion is worth listening to! then you have Fox News, the type of news organisation that has anchors saying (actually heard by me) that they wondered (in reference to Joe the Plumber) if Barack Obama knew anything about plumbing? In the toilet? reply = " I wonder if Obama knows what one of those is!" What a hoot! Of course they then decided that they would take his campaign's money and air his infommercial!Hilarious eh? If that epithet had been aired on the BBC , the presenter concerned would very likely have been arrested forthwith! It goes on, the lies, half-truths, innuendo, Cyndi McCain yesterday on TV repeating absolute untruths, the old lady at the McCain rally who told him she wouldn't be voting for Obama as hes "an Arab" If it were at all possible, you would have seen McCain whiten some more, as he panicked open mouthed not only at the slur, but at the fact that she had sent out 400 leaflets, on her own admission, telling his supporters just that too!"My friends" the border is about 40 minutes away, far enough so that the madness is kept on the other side thank you very much!Finally, have i missed something, or am i naive in the extreme? if so, bloody well beam me up Scotty, as Sarah Palin must be using some sort of mind trick on the US. The woman can barely repeat what the men in grey have tried parrot fashion to drum into her!Imbicile is not too strong a word to use is it? The lady is a Ghastly inept choice and could not even tell of the newspaper she read? The (Alaskan)Daily News co-incidentally supported Obama after that!not to mention the $150,000 on clothes, oops! we've been found out....erm...ok we'll say that they are to be returned after!Genius! or that she is dragging her entire family around at Johnny's campaign expense account! yada yada yada it goes on and on, so i won't! be grateful folks, that you live where you live and the rest of us would like to!
Fighting to the end 12:03pm on 04 Nov 2008 Adam C?, i guess that you are a brit, do me a favour chief, and get a reality check, "reminds me of Margaret Thatcher"? really? I and many others are still reeling from that woman's decision, to create an I,Me,Mine atmosphere, and an overwhelming sense of desperation in the country i used to consider the greatest place on earth!Mrs. Palin reminds me of an over exuberant, middle aged, school run mum, who is of dubious intellect, cannot answer the simplest relevant political question, unless briefed beforehand, how on earth this woman was elected to anything other than maybe barbeque cook is beyond me!I mean i take issue with all my heart with just about everything you say in your post. It's nonsense to suggest that Obama is a lightweight, apart from anything else it's a typical republican slur, say anything do anything to sway the voter!In addition what are "serious" candidates doing appearing on SNL (Saturday Night Live), a comedy show of varying quality? It wasn't because McPain/Palin saw it as a bit of fun, it was free publicity for their campaign, nothing else.I'd be careful who i called "Lightweight" here.McCain opted to accept government funding for his bid for the presidency, then whines and whinges when Obama raises so much money from his supporters, because he didn't !I'm a brit living in Canada, which is quite close enough to the racists and bigots that permeate that jerry springer type audience, thank you VERY much,you base your opinions on absolutely no evidence whatsoever.It's not clever and it's not fair to the growing majority of people who actually live there, and support Senator Obama.Well i suppose it is if one is actually a racist or a bigot hmmm?
Fighting dirty 7:04pm on 19 Oct 2008 Seeing as how Mr. McPain is/was part of the problems which have befallen the US, rolling your eyes at every utterance your opponent makes, taking on a running mate that professes to have more experience than Obama/Biden put together? Need i go on?, you all know the rest.An angry old man and a horky mom? A party that has professionals in it that authorised torture at Guantanamo and elsewhere? Then when the judiciary tried to curtail the practice , had a President that signed a bill curbing the power of the courts, effectively pre-pardoning the Servicemen and Women that were involved? How much of the above have you heard or seen Obama mention or use as a election grabber? The citizenry of the US should really get their thinking caps on and consider the issues and forget about what underwear the candidates have on!
The enigma of Barack Obama 6:50pm on 19 Oct 2008 Hey People, yes you! all you intellectuals that are smugly posting your expert testimony , absolutely convinced that ONLY you are right? How about trying to see the situation from joe the plumbers (sic)point of view? If McPain is so keen to point out Obama's lack of experience, how come he has a running mate that lacks a modicum of that, or common sense, or taste, or statesperson like ways etc? Not once have i seen or heard, directly or through the press, tasteless and personal jibes against McCain, coming from the Obama camp! As in my view a large section of the American people are part of a potential Jerry Springer audience, with their instant judgements "erm...i won't vote for Obama, as he's um ...an Arab?" In essence i just have the feeling that everyone just cannot believe that their potential saviour is in front of them, quietly and directly addressing the problems that the US has! Of course there is even now a magnum being cocked by some crackhead, and let's hope the Kennedy lessons have been learned! You as US citizens cannot afford to let this candidate be exposed to those dangers, you will need to protect and nurture the one who will do the same for you!Of course if you prefer an angry old man, and a hockey mom? May your God help you!
