He has his eye on the 2008 Democratic nomination. Trust me he is a typical politician no better and no worse than the others. I believe his present position is that he has no plans to run for president but it is not yet time to commit. As far as wealth,poor people do not run for high office. Why? Because they can't afford to. Why do rich people want to be president. I assume the lust for power. I have great doubts of his sincerity his record is wishy washy depending on what benefits his purpose. Our last governor was republican and should have been jailed for his great service to the state. I don't hold Mr. Gore in much higher esteem that him. Democrat /Republican, I call as I see em. Just to add another thought. I liken perceptions of some politicians in other countries to a married woman to her lover. She tells you only what you want to hear and you only get the good stuff without having to deal with the crap. Debating politics is no win situation,why don't we debate cycling and doping that hasn't been done lately. ![]()

Yes, that was quite a coup by Eldron, wasn't it? Very original...and what a brainstorm it must have been to come up with!! ![]() Doesn't take a lot to amuse you, eh? Quote:

"Acting"? Yes, he's good at that. Also good at unwanted groping of women. "Moving forwards"? How about: he's ignoring their complicity because it suits him politically.

There is plenty of evidence, some of which I have provided on this forum. Your farcical denials in no way detracts from those facts. Hitler was 'the voted in majority' too. But then, Bush/Cheney did not win the actual popular vote in '00 or '04 - their voter disenfranchisement and fraudulent vote counts did however win it for them. Reams of evidence exists which proves this as well. But since we haven't seen it prosecuted by the GOP majority in Congress, you take that to mean none of it happened. Nice logic there, genius. Isn't "Neo-Con" what they call themselves, and what political scientists have classified them as? Actually, they're also known loosely as Straussians, or at least were strongly influenced by Leo Strauss' views. That's one thing you'll not hear them bloviate much about. Seems that you're running out of canards to peddle.

Hitler never got a majority vote, the conservatives put him in power because they needed a nutbag like hitler with paramilitaries to destroy the left.

I don't think much of the Bush Administration. The invasion of Iraq seems to me to have been a mistake. I suspect Bush invaded for a variety of reasons:
(1) He had a very naieve conception he could transfer democracy to the Middle East in the same way as Japan after WW2. (2) He believed once sanctions came to an end, the U.S. would be pushed out of the oil market and ousted by Russia and France. Maybe he also suspected Iraq could rearm and Saddam could try to advance a WMD program. (3) He had a personal beef with Saddam that clouded his judgement seeing as Saddam tried to assassinate Bush Senior. Having said all that, I think this stuff about Bush personally being involved in the twin towers attacks stretches credibility beyond all boundaries. This theory first took root immediately after the 9/11 attacks in parts of the Arab World and was later adapted by extreme liberals in America and Europe. It's source lies in denial that there was ever a serious threat posed by Al Quaida which is something Bill Clinton would strongly deny - as he took Bin Laden quite seriously. Quote:

I can't see the point in knocking Schwarzennegger and dwelling only on the negative. He accomplished a hell of a lot for bodybuilding when it was a minority sport and some of Arnold's movies were huge back in the nineties.
Politically he is far more liberal than Bush and now he seems to be actually doing something to protect the envvironment. He's also tackled the obesity issue in his country and done lots of charity work with handicapped children. Quote:

Bush invaded because of the 710 factor.

The sooner we impeach Bush the sooner we can get Dick Cheney in the Oval Office where he belongs.

China is a multicultural and multilingual country and has been since most Westerners were living in mud huts with their livestock.
Islam is officially recognized in China and is the fastest growing religion.

You've got to be kidding. The Chinese leadership have absolutely no intention of making the same mistakes as Europe by allowing organized religion to flourish. Organized religion in China is prohibited big time and that includes Islam. Anyone who can show me a typical Islamic Jihadist demonstration in China calling upon death to Chinese infidels (and they all are) is welcome to provide any proof. I think we all know if the mullahs tried to pull that one off in Bejing they'd be looking down the barrel of a few hundred tanks.
China isn't multicultural. The people speak Mandarin, maybe some Cantonese. Jobs are created for Chinese people and they make sure their people have the skills to fill these jobs so they don't have to rely on imported skilled labour like in the U.K. That's why China is now the world's fastest growing economy. We could learn a lot from China.Quote:
