Naah, I donīt think so. we might be illiterate over some aspects, but there is no doubt we have a strong sense of what a country is. Dis-United, come over here and ask the Basks, the Catalonian, the kosovans, the northern Irish, and a long etcetera.

Nothing will ever happen. Russia will not attack any member of the EU, esp. when they're begging for access to markets.

Right now, he's on a track to lose in November.

And because he has slid right-not-right, it exonerates McCain oozing even further right-not-right.

If McCain DOES win, which we have every reason to suppose he might, neoconservative pervy reactionary influences will point to the non-mandate of the people...that the people really DON'T want material change.

You are still bogged down in reflexive defensiveness of a candidate who CAN do wrong and who almost certainly, if history and politics are any guide, has enemies amongst his quote-unquote loyalists.

Unlike YOU, who are determined to support a party, I am determined that whoever the fuck gets into that office actually executes some Reform, and BOTH candidates are dancing backward from that goal.
Yes, you are giving advice on a message board and I have no doubt that Obama is watching

If you don't like that Obama is taking a break from the 24/7 grind of the campaign trail during the lul of the season then vote for McCain but don't pretend that his taking a week in Hawaii is the end of the fucking world. Bush and McCain were celebrating birthdays while hundreds of thousands of people were suffering in New Orleans, at least Obama is taking a break when it counts.

What exactly would you have him do, oh wise one? He issued a statement and so did the McCain camp aside from that it's in the hands of the evil one.

He and his camp are either internet savvy wizards, or they are not, but Obama Fans can't have it both ways.

Hyperbolic. Where do I suggest it's the end of the world, Eric? Where do I even suggest it's a catastrophe?

I suggest the possibility of a set-up, though.

I suggest and maintain that Obama is getting some bad advice, and his failure to pull away in the polls despite supposedly overwhelming disgust with Bush et al rather supports my position.

A Hawaiian Holiday during the "lull of the season"...is that what you call the two weeks before the convention and the final 75 days of a two-year campaign?

Yep. And repeatedly I have called this fucking government on its self-serving devotion to vacation and pay-raise schedules. See, I don't just criticize one "side" or the other, the way those who elevate personalities over principles do.

Sleazy Mayor Antonio Villagairossa issued a statement from the London vacation he declined to shorten after the Los Angeles earthquake. I am not impressed.

Obama's heading into virtually a dead heat, when it has been amply demonstrated that prevailing neoconervative influences own the voting apparatuses.

A group of Democrats heading back to Washington to make those assembled Republicans address more than offshore drilling would have been a good idea.

Grant leeway to the Russians? I didn't grant anybody anything, I merely stated I don't blame the Russians for their counterattack.

Actually the Russian government knows that because Jr.'s such a cowardly wimp and the E.U. don't yet have a rapid reaction, far reaching military of comparible effect, they can in fact invade a country and get away with it. Their invasion of Georgia was their testing range to prove it.

Mutual Assured Destruction. If Russia fires a nuke toward Poland, at least 3 nuclear nations rain missiles on Russia. More important is the instant loss of access to huge markets.
