Yeah I'd be happy to see McCain as US president, he seems to have the gift of actually having a clue what he's talking about, which is a rare gift indeed compared to the other wedge-politics loving suck ups on capitol hill.

to be sure, he still sucks up (see him getting friendly with looney jerry falwell + pat robertson). but he sucks up the least.

Once again the citizens of the United States of America will be able to choose which multi-millionaire they can identify with, or not, as the case may be. Whichever candidate becomes the incumbent, his administration will be filled with 'loyal placemen'. And therein lies the seeds of future problems, I fear.

Kindly mind your effing business about which millionaire we vote for Limey. As if voting for a broke failure would be a good idea in any case.

I'll vote for McCain because he's a HERO, and because he knows what the consequences are of military action. I'll vote for Guiliani because of the job he did rebuilding NYC prior to 911, and the job he did rallying the city and country after 911.

Oh what a surreal world you must live in, where you are allowed not merely to hold, but forcibly express your views, whilst slamming anyone else who offers an opinion. Yeah, man 'murican d'mocracy, right.

Let me disabuse you of some of your juvenile blatherings. Somebody you would accuse of being a broke failure in your perverted lexicon means 'Not a millionaire'. Now contemplate, if you can stand the dreadful prospect, your candidates. Not very many of them are there? Are you sure thats the best your nation has to offer? Really? How sad. And of these people, is it earned (how?) or inherited wealth? And you are still going to lie to me and tell me your system is right and proper? Hint, don't waste your breath.

I do not claim to be an expert on the USA. I have visited it a dozen or so times, on the final occasion for 5 weeks. I have American friends who, like me, are ex-military and capable of independent thought.

Finally, as regards to my 'effing' business, I will use the term for you. In the professional forces I had the honour to serve, there was the phrase used in describing someone who had an opinion on everything, but hadn't been in the service very long. It was "He's an eff-all kid. He's seen eff-all. He's done eff-all and he knows eff-all". That is you, sunshine!

LOL you actually think that the UK is so much more democratic? Ever notice how Governments tend to just do what they think is best regardless of public opinion and are often able to surpress public attention to the fact, or in the case of many, they simply ignore it. The fact that the Howard Government keeps getting elected here on their promises of keeping 'australian values' and all that cliche bullcrap while they take more immigrants than ever (and they want more) says something about how seriously politicians take public concerns unless they have a fully contested election coming up.

You're not an American, hence your views on US domestic politics are worth less than nothing. And yes, i am allowed to express myself as forcefully as i like via the written word...a right ALL Americans share.

When i tell you who to elect, you can tell me who to elect.

Anyone who is any kind of a success in the business world IS a millionaire nowadays. Even senior military officers upon retirement have numerous highly lucrative options awaiting them immediately after retirement.

Well:
1)Yes, i think McCain or Guiliani are as good a candidate as ANY country could realistically hope to offer.
2)Yes.
3) Yeah OK "Mr. My country is run by Tony Blair."

What gives you the impression i am not capable of independent thought?

Was it the fact that i think you're a nitwit and disagreed with you?

Is that so?

LOL....perhaps you ought to ask your buddy Ray a bit about me. Cause once again, you are 100% wrong.

And once more, who we elect and why is none of your effing business. It's as simple as that.
You worry about your little self, M'kay? Cause i aint about to sit here and have a subject lecture me about freedom. Frankly, it was dickheads like you that made us revolt to begin with.

Expediency is all.

True, true and spoken with a mouthful of teeth! The way to understand politics and politicians today is NOT to use reason, logic or commonsense. Look instead to the brainwashing 'they' have been under.

Now we can all see what you are like, an ignorant, mouthy, retard whose IQ undoubtedly starts with a decimal point. A retard without a sense of humour, or a sense of history, or a sense of place. In fact no sense at all. Senseless. As you are also visually impaired I had better inform you that the colour I selected for my text is BLUE, not mauve. You are not worth my time. In the unlikely event that you grow up I may respond to your posts, but not until then. Consequently anything you direct at me shall be ignored.

Sniper, the millionaire you vote into power IS everyones business as you guys being the super power and all kind of effects everyone. This is why we all pay attention to what you are doing and who you vote into power. I was up late in Newquay, Cornwall watching the debates for example, and I was up till 4am watching the election.

Nothing wrong with being rich especially if you're self made as if you can do that I bet the dude workds hard and I'd want someone like that running the show.

Lastly, did you really need to roast that guy like that?? It takes away from your credibility but maybe I missed a previous arguement?

You started it by coming to this board and talking down to the posters here in numerous threads with your Michael Moore 101 babbling, Mr. Sophisticated.

Socialists and arrogant limey dickheads bring it out in me. Subjects that preach to me about freedom bring it out in me. Those foriegners who would seek to tell me what sort of leader i should have bring it out in me.

In short, YOU bring it out in me.

Do you think i care?

Here's some advice dipshiit, do not draw down on people you don't know when you're the new guy. All that's liable to do is get you banned for being a loudmouth know-nothing who is too lazy to make an attempt to figure out who he's talking to to begin with. When i disagreed with you it was YOU that started tossing thinly vieled insults, it was you that has an obvious superiority complex, and a highly annoying tone of condescendence.

I don't care if you're Rays friend or not, keep running your mouth, and you'll be running it elsewhere.

Now, 'sir', kindly, eat broken glass and die.

That, my friend, is not a roasting. It is an appalling demonstration of poor manners and rampant ignorance. If you follow the thread back you will see how it developed into a slanging match. I think Sniper is every bit as balanced in his views as the most extremist muslim is with his.

I thought you were done talking to me, or are you just going to talk past me like a six year old who's trying to make another six year old feel left out?

LOL...
