The world's verdict will be harsh if the US rejects Obama

[Gh0stFT]

sorry, but to be honest they are much more interesting topics around the
world right now then what your country will vote next. I.e. CERN Large Hadron Collider,
thats something the whole world is watching, science and research.
No matter who is your next Pres. he will have the (un)luck to finish a **** job
your last Pres. have started and left!

heh

I feel sorry for Americans.

They get to choose either an empty headed, grandstanding idiot who thinks he's Martin Luther King Jr Jr, or a broken old man who, despite being quite decent and honest, is being used by people not nearly as decent as him. Palin is about as nasty as Clinton and deeply unattractive either as a woman or politician.

But then, I guess it's the same everywhere.

[Bronk]

will they also take the UN with them?

One can only hope.

[Bronk]

I was just thinking the same thing! 

Maybe euro weenies will run to UN mods because they don't like our choice.  Would you approve of this?

[thrila]

I would vote for Yulia Tymoshenko, but only because she has a princess leia quality about her.  Though she is nowhere near as hot as Queen Rania of Jordan, i would be more than happy for her to lead my country.

[Dowding]

Thrila, this thread is no place for a raghead lover. Only rampant xenophobia is alllowed. Queen Rania is not welcome here! Just how many mooses has she killed and exactly how many times has she seen Red Dawn?

I highly doubt that the numb nut journalist that wrote that piece of trash has any bearing on the beliefs of the "whole" of Europe.

No, but he sure represents the thoughts of many Europeans.

When you start running your country based on what other countries think about you---then you haven't been working with your own countries best interest at heart.  Who are you elected and paid to serve?   Some latte sipping socialist in Europe or Asia?

And just how would you happen to know the political affiliations of all Europeans?

Is there anyone who doesn't find it egotistical and arrogant in the extreme for one person to speak for all of Europe?

Yep.  Right here.  However, the reason for this is that the journalist is right in that most Europeans far prefer Obama.  So therefore it is not "egotistical and arrogant in the extreme" for him to have written that.  And where exactly does he claim to "speak for all of Europe"?

Maybe euro weenies will run to UN mods because they don't like our choice.  Would you approve of this?

Well, it would be entertaining, but useless.  The UN isn't overly concerned with the US elections last I heard.


I sincerely doubt that any of you would criticise an article that claimed to speak for all of the USA, and that supported McCain.

oh noes!  i've been islamaphied.

Actually the rest of the world would be better off if they said they'd be mad if we voted Obama in, most of all the Europeans.

That would grab the "screw the rest of the world vote" which in America is a sizable voting bloc. The "screw the Europeans" is an even larger voting bloc.

I mean, "and I'm saying this to the non-Americans here", imagine how you would feel if we told you who to vote for in your elections? Not that we could care less or even name the person running your country in the first place. The simple fact is it aint our business who you vote in. And it aint your business who we vote in either.

And I dont want to hear any, "but American policy affects us" nonsense either. You can take that to the UN and tell them, "btw we dont care what the UN thinks either". A lot of us think it would make a fine target for an airstrike.

So to sum it up "we dont care about the worlds verdict". In fact the world can stuff its verdict up its south end when facing north.

This:

If Americans choose McCain, they will be turning their back on the rest of the world, choosing to show us four more years of the Bush-Cheney finger. And I predict a deeply unpleasant shift.

wow surprise, we allready know this, why start this complicated thread then ?
and do you really think we think different?

I didnt start any thread, nor do I find it complicated.

The difference is I'd bet you could talk to anyone of the 270 million Americans and not a one of them who care who the German people elected. The reason for that is because "it aint our business".

What makes you think America gives one rats butt what Europeans think? 

[thrila]

about 3 pages makes me think that.
