Steve Doocy Defends Fox News Against Distortion With...Distortion!

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 26 Oct 09

This is hilarious! On "Fox and Friends" Steve Doocy was trying to make the point that the White House was wrong to accuse Fox News of distorting the news and instead proved the Administration right!! "Doocy was trying to make...

evanslf Well put, couldn't have said it better. The only good thing about Fox, which I look at from time to time, is its sheer entertainment value - a bit like the Sun newspaper in the UK. You glance at it, have a laugh, but whatever you do you don't take it...

Thank you very much Al Gore....or how America was taken down!

debrakcarey @debrakcarey (19887) • United States 20 Oct 09

At Copenhagen, this December, weeks away, a treaty will be signed — Your president will sign it. Most of the third-world countries will sign it because they think they’re going to get money out of it. Most of the left-wing regimes...

evanslf The EU cannot realisitically be described as a left wing regime - unless you hold very right wing beliefs. Barosso, the newly reappointed president of the Commission is centre-right and so is the majority in the European parliament. Indeed, the left is in...

Wall Street Bail-Out Versus Auto Makers Bail-Out

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 19 Nov 08

There are some of us, both civilians and members of Congress and others in our government, who have been fairly consistent regarding the "bail-outs" or "rescues" that have been given and are being discussed. Some were for the Wall...

evanslf Excellent prescription, what we need is action to get us out of this mess. What encourages me is that though this crisis could certainly be of the magnitude of the Great Depression, it does seem however that our leaders have learnt some of the lessons of...

evanslf No, as Bush has found out to his and America's cost. Going unilateraly is often not the best way to achieve things. It can be sometimes necessary, but multilateral action is likely to be far more effective and is the only way to achieve progress to tackle...

Is Palin the new face of the Republican Party?

tthom64 @tthom64 (535) • United States 12 Nov 08

I've kind of found it interesting that over the past few days, so much attention is still focused on Sarah Palin. No one is talking about "what's next for McCain" but Palin seems to be almost getting equal time with Obama? No...

evanslf Ah it was ever thus. World superpowers are never liked and there will always be other people and countries that are not happy with their actions. It is I suspect the way of things. But certainly, despite her faults, America has done much more good for the...

Obama the Renegade!

evanslf @evanslf (484) 14 Nov 08

For a little bit of levity on Mylot, I read an article which talks about the Secret Service names of Presidents and Vice-Presidents (note these names are not so secret anymore, the names were made up in the days before encryption)...

evanslf Great work! Nice to know Bill Clinton was called Eagle, though I must admit I'm not too sure if that fits him. Thought George Bush was trailblazer, not tumbler (seems to have some unfortunate connotations!)

Greetings friends...hope all is well with you and yours. As usual our life and business ventures have kept me busy with no time to visit friends in Mylot Land and I miss being here. However, with the changes that the elections...

evanslf The Dems will easily have a majority in the Senate, at least 56 seats or so (out of 100 senators). But Senate rules allow the minority party to fillibuster on a particular issue so long as they have at least over 40 votes to maintain the fillibuster. What this...

Can you put it aside?

newtondak @newtondak (3946) • United States 3 Nov 08

If your candidate is not elected, will you be able to put aside party politics and your feelings about your candidate to support our new President...or will you spend the next four years nitpicking and criticizing the new...

evanslf Quite right, if there is a clear win we should accept the legitimacy of the new president, to do otherwise invites chaos or something even worse (eg civil war as has occured in some African countries where the election result is not accepted). But all...

What will be the election result for your state?

KLVentures @KLVentures (119) • United States 30 Oct 08

With the election coming up on Tuesday, how do you think your state is going to go? What do the polls say for your state? How do you think it will actually go? I live in Maine and all of the polls are showing a significant lead...

evanslf Wow! talk about having to correct myself in real time! Just checked the website again which now shows McCain's lead in Georgia standing at only 3 points (49 to 46 %), so certainly if the young people and non-white voters do turn out in heavy numbers, Georgia...

evanslf http://www.electoral-vote.com does not have Georgia going to Obama at the moment, though it is true to say that he has cut McCain's lead and the latest clutch of presidential polls shows Obama trailing there by 5-6 points or so. So at this point I would still...

evanslf @evanslf (484) 23 Oct 08

Though I am clear who I will be supporting, I have noted that there are some of you on Mylot that still haven't quite made up your minds. So I came across this useful table which compares both major candidates on the issues. The...
