Metaphores in politics and general ramblings....  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 67/100. BCMike (3316) 3 years ago

If Canadian politics is described as a bloodsport, then British Columbia politics has to be UFC... with no referee!

US politics is desperate leaning heavily to nasty. Well financed, I envy US political parties for the wealth they have at their disposal. I could run a very effective campaign of a tiny percentage of that money. American citizens must be dulled to near senseless with near continuous ads for this party of that.

Here? We have learned to be vicious for nearly free. Why? Because we have no choice.

Virginia and New Jersey in the US have suddenly become the states that are going to tell how Obama is doing. Personally I suspect that he is going to get a snoot full of pissed off voters.

How many disjointed and generally hard to follow have you done recently?

Hey Mike as a political junkie in the USA, I try to keep up with the latest spin coming out from everywhere! It's hard at times to separate the wheat form the chaff and form your own opinion! The TV and cable networks here get in a lull sometimes and have to create issues when non really exist! You right it's turning into a real slug feast down here! I'm loving every minute of it!wink tdemex

They are in a lull again right now. The war on Islamic stupidity and arrogance is fairly quiet despite the IED deaths that are taking a toll on our boys there.

The solution is quite simple to me now though. If the Afghans don't want us there, then let's pack up and leave just to the other side of the border and camp out there. Kill anything or anyone trying to get in or out without full screening first. Then, let those morons kill each other off. We should also do this to Iran. Total blockade except for full screening. Nobody there wants the help? Fine. You get none. Let us know who's left when the dust settles.

But that's not a story to fill up a day.

Your health care debates are in a lull while draft legislation is being cobbled together. Nothing to talk about until there is something to talk about. However, when they finally introduce something, then it will be a busy Thanksgiving and Christmas season for your media.

You off yer meds, kid?


myLot reputation of 67/100. BCMike (3316)  3 years ago

Maybe. Can't even blame the moon yet. Just credit it to lusting after my 1 cent here. That's about all my discussions seem to be worth. I'm just trying to get by these last days before the next month.


myLot reputation of 97/100. BarBaraPrz (6659)  3 years ago

Yeah, well, aren't we all?


myLot reputation of 97/100. BarBaraPrz (6659)  3 years ago

Did you make it? (I didn't.)
And thanks for the BR.

Not very many actually, cause if it takes too much time, I lose interest.


myLot reputation of 67/100. BCMike (3316)  3 years ago

And my one line responses are about all I can work up these days myself.

It is sad that it takes so much money to get elected in the US. I think that just smacks of the corruption - see Chicago.
I dont think it is just Virginia and New Jersey to say how Obama is doing. His approval rating has taken a dive, he is at 51%. but Congress is 24% which surprises me, I would think it would be lower.happy


myLot reputation of 67/100. BCMike (3316)  3 years ago

24% for your congress is just about a low as it can get. What you don't have, is an alternative.

Any alternative which had enough bucks to be able to advertise, will kick butt down there. It would do it here too except we don't have any money....
