El yay!
Waiting for the big Mexican drugs, fags, illegals and sodomy fest* to start, since our only hope of preventing it, Vernon Robinson, got his ass kicked last night.
* - not that I'll be partaking in all of the activities, of course.
ok-cleek
I guess I could use some rearranging
What an exciting day it must be over there. I do love election time, especially when there is the promise of high drama. Now, if Bush decides to actually listen to the electorate and change the US policy on Iraq, it is going to leave my illustrious leader, Tony Blair, in a very sticky spot.
You know, it really annoys me when people bitch that being a US election, people like me (i.e. non-Americans) cannot comment. One user in the CP Soapbox has been particularly vociferous on this subject today. These people fail to realise that what happens in US government will, sooner or later, affect the whole world, so of course we should all take an interest – no matter what colour your political stripes.
yeah. i finally have hope that the country hasn’t gone completely insane. :)
>> non-Americans cannot comment
i admit i’ve used that point when arguing against people over at SB. there were one or two hard-core Randian nutjobs who just couldn’t seem to shut up about things that i saw as internal matters that eastern Euorpeans had no business telling Americans how to handle. when they’d describe half of all Americans as Communists and Leninists, it was pretty clear they either didn’t know what they were talking about, or that they weren’t arguing in good faith. so, sometimes you get to a point where it becomes pretty clear that you’re not going to come to any kind of agreement about things, and you might as well shut ’em up any way you can. :)
but, yeah, you’re right about the reach of the effects American internal politics. and, i can’t blame anyone for being interested in the outcome.

Interesting article on how evangelicals have turned against Bush.
yup. the backside of demagoguery is usually hypocrisy. glad the religious right is starting to see through the Republicans’ charade.
