If you openly declare a preference for McCain then you are a ****.

Can anyone tell me what the presidential debate between Obama and McCain on the 09/10/08 was about? I missed it and i can't find it on the news anywhere. Thank you.

If McCain and Palin win, then that is the truth.

When the winner gets announced, if it is old father time and the hockey mom, the whole of europe is going to breath a huge sigh in a collective 'God-dammit america.'

One thing is certain. Obama's presidency is going to dissapoint alot of people.. The promises he's made and the state of the economy will prevent him from doing much at all. Raising taxes on those who create jobs isn't very clever either. For the economy, McCain would be better. As the states still is the engine of the world - we have seen it now as the crisis in the states spread around the world - their economy needs to be as strong as possible. A president that is one of the most leftist democrats around will not strenghten their, or our, economy. I would vote McCain to stabilize the economy, and in 4 years vote in a democrat, like Obama, or miles better, Hillary

Who gives a **** what Europeans think. Europeans and their leftist policies have put them in a position of no power, and has castrated them to be nothing but sidekicks to either the Russian bear and the American Eagle.

Sorry mate but you are missing the point entirely, Europeans have a right to say their opinion because every decision in America effects all of us, for example, if Al Gore became president, then there would not be an Iraq War, and if there wasn't an Iraq war, out taxes and our men would be somewhere else, everything would be totally different, do you get my meaning?

Ignore it or not, we have good reason to voice our opinions on the elections, by your reasoning I could say. Who the **** cares what the Isreali's think. Israeli's and their military conflicts have put them in a position of little power in comparison to the big superpowers of America and Russia. Why should they even think of voicing their opinions on the American Elections.

Also don't generalise and say "American Eagle" or "Russian Bear" it is totally deregotory from the meanings they imply and from a different time.

What I'm saying is that Europeans cannot criticize the US for making what it perceives as being the wrong decision, because it's decisions have robbed it of all power. Therefore they are clearly not good decision makers, and their political decisions aren't to be applied to the US.

I don't know how you came to that conclusion. Despite the relative lack of resources and political cohesion, Europe remains the epitome of soft power and collectively have the largest economy in the world. Hardly the result of poor political decisions....

You add the economic strength of enough countries and of course it is going to be big, hardly an achievement. No European power, nor the union, has any political power. The union is impotent because of disagreement, and the countries are weak because of their leftist stances.

Collectively, Western Europe has a much greater economy than the US or any other equivalent sized area. Nowhere else can claim that so it is an achievement.

And as for political power, the EU holds far more soft (that is political and diplomatic) power than the US. The US doesn't hold the political hegemony it did under Clinton. The only power they hold now is the hard power of military threat. There's a reason why peaceful solutions to Iran are only coming from the EU and not the US.

You amalgamate an entire continent in order to establish economic superiority? Interesting tactic, no matter how devoid of any fundamental meaning it may be. I don't see the point in arguing over the amount of power a single nation, such as the United States, holds, or how that amount of power compares to that of twenty-seven nations in "union," I care more about positive results. Rational thinking would suggest that 27 > 1, but conventional wisdom is not so cut and dry on the matter.

The reason why peaceful solutions for Iran are largely coming from the EU, simply put, is W's Cowboy Diplomacy. America has greatly regressed in many facets throughout the past 8 years, and the handling of international relations is one of the largest failures of the Bush regime.

I don't foresee the US making the same mistakes with the upcoming Obama ( )presidency.
