Re: The Official HLP US Elections Poll - for NON-US Citizens Only
They've uncovered some disturbing things about Sarah Palin's family background. I hope it won't impede McCain's campaign or anything.

I'm deliberately neutral about elections because I always like to give everyone an equal chance. As much as Obama has a lot going for him, I'd like to actually see if McCain can do it better than Bush.

Re: The Official HLP US Elections Poll - for NON-US Citizens Only
compare the way the candidates talk about things. obama sounds like some good for nothing rapper whos pointing his finger at everything assigning blame. mccain on the other hand actually sounds like he understands issues and has at least half a brain (which is alot for a president).

obama is a socialist so it makes sense that socialist countries would find him more appealing and tilt their media in that direction as if to say hey americans, pick this canidate or we will hate you more! so i get where these results are coming from. also i dont like hippies.  by the way im really drunk.

Or perhaps the rest of the world see your country with clearer eyes than you do. Maybe you're like the drunk who thinks that he's really cool dancing on the edge of the table. Everyone else can see that it will end badly. :p

Re: The Official HLP US Elections Poll - for NON-US Citizens Only
Obama's holding back to let McCain handle Hurricane Gustav. Hopefully he does it better than the Bush Administration. :blah:
McCain can't "handle" anything about Gustav any more than Obama can, since both are members of the Senate, not the executive branch.  They can both use the storm in the PR sense, but it's people like the president, the governor, and FEMA who actually handle the realities of the situation.  In any case, New Orleans itself came off relatively undamaged, so the point is moot.

same cant be said for Cuba, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic at least 30 people dead and a good deal of damage done.

that sarah plain has given her speech, she looks serious about becoming vp to mccain. i just hope this presidency works out, however it would be equally funny if it falls apart and bush somehow finds himself back in control of states again because of circumstances :lol:.

To be honest I haven't heard any "trash talking" at all...  Neither of them sound like they have a clue about what their getting into.

Its true that more left leaning countries are probably going to be more sympathetic to a left leaning party like the Democrats although I would hardly label the Democrats, Obama, or European countries in general as Socialist.  The Democrats are center to slightly right leaning while the Republicans are far right leaning if you compare to Canada, Germany, France, and probably the UK. The US does not have a left or far left leaning socialist party or anything that looks like one.

Re: The Official HLP US Elections Poll - for NON-US Citizens Only
america's government is a pretty unusual configuration. i can understand why it would be confusing to anyone who hadn't had to take us government, or a political science class (in the usa of course). what we try to do is lump everyone into super massive parties. that doesnt prevent all the hippies and socialists from forming up their lesser parties though, collectively they're called independents, and they seldom win higher positions. on the side of voters i believe most americans are unafiliated with a party and vote based on what the candidates support. its sort of based on an antiquated understanding of politics, before the 2 axis political compass way of looking at politics came into being. so its really unfair to say that all republicans are the same or all democrats are the same. you have conservative dems, libral dittos and vice versa. socialists and small government types on both sides.

the problem with our system is that its really confusing. unless people really do personal research into the candidates its really impossible to make an educated choice. you have biased media that leads to more confusion and lobbyists who tend to tilt their stance on issues. political campaigns theese days usually lack substance. saying whatever toe audience your talking too wants to hear, and then saying something contradictory to the next crowd. but ive listened to speeches on both sides, and i like more of what the republicans have to say than i do about what the democrats say. also it seems to me with how bad bush did that the democrats were pretty much handed the election. and if obama/biden is the best they can come up with then i seriously question if that party is worthy of controlling the white house. pretty much the democrats said what they want to do, and the republicans said how they plan to do what they want to do.
I can no longer sit back and allow communist infiltration, communist indoctrination, communist subversion, and the international communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

thank you nuke, it is what i said a few pages back, i asked what the candidates really want before i make a vote, this is actually what i had in mind when i said what i did, however my english failed me.

Re: The Official HLP US Elections Poll - for NON-US Citizens Only
im sure some of this stuff was said somewhere. these debates usually go on for pages with people repeating the same dribble over and over again. i was merely trying to summerize how our system works as well as why it doesnt :D

Re: The Official HLP US Elections Poll - for NON-US Citizens Only
Well, we have all kinds of parties, you just don't hear about them.
Right but none of them have any serious chance of being in power in any way.  In Canada there are what amounts to three major parties.  The Conservatives which are a bit like the Republicans, the Liberals, which are a bit like the Democrats, and the New Democratic Party (NDP) which are a more socialist left leaning party.  The NDP has varied in numbers over the years but at present they have a somewhat significant piece of the pie as well.  They have never been in power federally but provincially they do from time to time.

There is a fourth party in the mix called the Bloc Quebecois which is a separatist party that has representation in Quebec only.   They also have a significant chunk of the vote but only in Quebec.

In the US there may be other parties...but its basically just Democrats and Republicans.  There are no serious wildcard parties that can tip the balance in any one way.

ive read all the pages of all the us election threads. it amuses me to see all the socialists and librals spewing utter nonsence in an effort to change the results of the election.

Re: The Official HLP US Elections Poll - for NON-US Citizens Only
Who would you rather have as a president?  Biden or Palin?

Because it is fairly likely during the 4/8 years of presidency that McCain will drop dead of a stroke or something and Obama will be shot by some racist guy.  Both Obama and McCain would help the country in some way, but I'm leaning toward Obama a bit more.
