OT US Politics

What am I, some sort of researcher? Oh, hang on a minute...

 

Why anything?

I used to be a news junkie, to a ridiculous extent. A few years back I
broke the habit. Back then i'd do this sort of thing a lot. Now I save
it for the things that will impact on my life - who leads the US is
one of those things.

Last night I'd been to a lecture, my brain was fizzing with ideas, I'd
had a phone conversation where I argued that I'm not as well informed
as i used to be and on the basis of those things I decided to watch
the debate. Plus it gave me a chance to catch up with UKRM at the same
time.

That do you as an answer?

 

Grand, thanks!

 

Military

 

I think it could go either way easily and DGAF which one of them wins as
neither of them has the makings of a really good US President and
neither of them could run a really successful Administration. They will
be equally devisive in their nation. So why waste time betting.

As for Usual Nonsense I wager I'm a lot closer to matters in the US than
most of the UK posters and my summing up of the electoral situation
isn't Thursday morning casual thought.

 

Commanding a 750 man Air Squadron, combat experience, experience of
incarceration, injury and recovery Vs a Constitutional and Civil Right
law practitioner.

I don't like law practitioners ever entering politics, in this country
or theirs!

 

It would appear that McCain's 'heroic' past is all fiction...

I couldn't get away from the damn thing. It was on almost every
channel.

Oh come on. I thought it was delightfully pompous and sufficiently
obvious to amuse me. For small values of amusement. I expected to get
NFO by Ben and Muddy!!

I'm in *incredibly* good mood today. Had a great ride this morning.
Another due in 2 hours and the long weekend is going to run me
absolutely fucking ragged ;o)

 

You just want a Hug in this thread don't you?

 

....bomb civilian targets...

 

What the **** use is any of the above in being President?

Whereas this sounds like useful stuff for a President to know.

 

Actually, I find US politics more interesting that UK politics. It
might come from reading Hunter S Thompson (Fear and Loathing on the
Campaign Trail), PJ O'Rourke, and being a big fan of the West Wing.

 

You don't seem to understand the role of US President. But then again I
expect McCain and Obama are in the same boat.

Like I said, I hope McCain wins and immediately retired due to ill
health. I'm almost tempted to think Palin is a plant in some right wing
religious conservative conspiracy. If Obama wins he will be executed
within a year or two anyway.

 

Oh I like the West Wing, Bear put me on to the DVD's of that.

Why? WHY? Why would you want this?

She doesn't have to. Dubya demonstrated all too well that given a big
enough 'tragedy', the President can bypass the Congress, and depend on
the support of the Supreme Court.

Because I'm a fucking anarchist and I'd love to see what happened,
believing that none of them could make it any better if they tried. for
the same reason I won't mind if Obama gets in because there will be an
underground civil war!

I do think there *are* people who could make a difference, just none of
this lot.
