****, if you just draw a picture of Dubya with a cowboy hat it would be funnier.

So America in 2007 is capable of electing a black man or a woman as president, but not a Jew to VP?

Remember, the Republicans are the backers of the "Israel Lobby."

It's just the primaries; don't get excited. Even Ross Perot and Mike Dukakis made it that far.

Libberman was a play on his name. Sorry if you thought I was going somewhere else. McCain, Lieberman now that's the ticket.

Lets see McCain's campaign manager is a lobbyist for Lockheed and Occidental. McCain came down on Boeing. Hmmmm, seems like a little conflict considering Lockheed and Boeing are in some of the same markets and compete against each other. Probably nothing really but you know sometimes when you put 2 and 2 together it does come up to 4 His lobbyist buddy's firm made $57 million since 98. Hmmmmm wonder if one were to check how many of those companies that he represented got gov. contracts. Yeah this is the guy that is going to shake up Washington.

Swedish Goalie, there are a lot of Americans who say that since Farrakhan endorses Obama, that's enough reason to vote against him. I have seen speeches of Farrakhan; he's a scary radical whom I prefer on the fringes, not in government.

But yes, a lot of people in the rest of the world feel quite rightly that they are affected by whom the US chooses as president, and they are in favor of Barack Obama. This suggests that it will be easier for Obama to mend fences with allies ... and maybe even start to negotiate with those whom Bush has managed to really piss off.

I guess that its pretty much a tie(maybe a little bit of favor for Obama) Obama and Hillary when it comes to the presidential election in the rest of the world. On Swedish newspapers polls both Hillary and Obama has around 40%. So I guess that the world wants to see a democrat in office, but we cant vote

bigugly, I take the Ektorp

Swedish Goalie, it's not me you insulted. Farrakhan's a nutter. He's about as radical as RyJ, just in the other direction.

No personal attacks here

[Timberwoof]

No, I guess I was a bit extreme in describing Farrakhan.

Ah Louie, now there is a nut job. When I lived in Chicago he would have his guys on the street corner selling his magazine. Nicely dressed in suits, standing in 90plus temps to make money for this guy. He lives in a mansion with armed guards. He wears only the finest clothes and jewelry. He is driven around in an armor plated limo. This guy is nothing but a cult leader. He must be secretly backing Hilary if he endorsed Obama. If I were Obama I would really distance myself from Louie.
