I took Ohio and RI and I'm acummin fer yoo now!Update: via Lord Somber on why Americans shouldn't vote.
I suggested on somebody's site yesterday not to write off the Lizard Queen yet:
Over the last few days, the tone of the Democratic contest seems to have shifted, with Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign more buoyant and Senator Barack Obama’s more defensive.
That shift may be traceable in part to the “Saturday Night Live” show on Feb. 23, when, back from the writers’ strike, it mocked the news media for treating Mr. Obama more gently than it treated Mrs. Clinton. Mrs. Clinton amplified that view later in a debate, and her aides stoked it all week, practically browbeating reporters.
She takes Texas and the world is in trouble.
What I'd like to look at is just how fickle the American people are - being swayed in their votes by how Tina Fey acts or speaks or what happens on Saturday Night Live. For goodness sake, aren't the Americans capable of doing some research on the candidates? Why do they seem to go through these mood swings? Can't they stick with their chosen candidate?
And McCain. He's Conservative? Save me!
Please don't knock Americans, that plays into the hands of our stupid intelligentsia. What you're complaining about is equally true of ordinary people here - so much is driven by emotion and misunderstanding.
ReplyDeleteThat's true, Sackers.
ReplyDeleteRe: “For goodness sake, aren't the Americans capable of doing some research on the candidates?”
ReplyDeleteSackerson has the right of it.
I would agree with you in a limited sense, but more if you remove the word ‘Americans’ and substitute it for ‘voters’. It is equally applicable in the UK and probably most everywhere else.
Baah! Bahhhh!
James, you just have to look at her and you know she is all wrong.
ReplyDeleteI think the only way that she can win is the ugliest imaginable form of politics. She and Bill will likely drag every one down with them. I doubt that she can win the nomination , but they will die trying.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was naughty to say "Americans" as they're my friends - probably should have said Democratic voters.
ReplyDeleteshould have said 'some' voters
ReplyDeleteVoting in America isn't compulsory is it? So to all those that complain about Hillary's possibility of becoming President, go and vote and ensure she does not make it to the Oval office. If she does make it and you didn't vote then how can people complain and if you did vote and she wins , well obviously the majority of voters wanted her, all hypothetically of course.
ReplyDeleteThat's right, Nunyaa.
ReplyDeleteThe more I hear ignorant people yammer about politics, I would rather they not vote at all...
