How original to quote the wise words of others. Here in good ole Blighty we are concerned about the sanity of the US administration, whether Democrat or Republican. Everyone had high hopes when Obama was elected. I suppose we ignored the fact that the same corrupt corporation with their buying power run the show alongside the fanatical and misguided Evangelists. Praise the lord. One thing you are brill at is going totally over the top. (If you can't blind with brilliance, baffle with bull). However when it comes to the inmates running the asylum I believe it's a time for a rethink, that is if you still want the world take you serious in any other way than military might. Having said that when it comes to law enforcement you are still in the Wild West, as proven by recent events. Howdy pardners ! What a time to be American -NOT. Ps. How is 'Prism' going ?
PRISM is obsolete. We have much better tools now. Actually it's a great time to be an American, we get to redefine ourselves however we want now. Whether we'll seize that opportunity is a different question. I have complete faith in capitalism though, wherever there's a need someone will start a business to fill it.
Perhaps you have overlooked the fact that the US has been and still is the biggest leech on the world economy and muscles their way, by legal and any other means into a society which represents 15% of the world population yet consumes 40% of world resources. We in Europe also have to thank your anthropoid bankers for the financial crash, which has resulted in millions of job losses. No wonder that you believe in capitalism, since you have lived beyond your means and entitlements for decades. No doubt the time will come when the creative accountancy of your extremely corrupt administration will come crushing down and put an end to the excesses of YOU 'me, me, me emergencies'. The present ignorance or delusions will not prevent that and as usual will result in misery and hardship for the working classes, while the rats will be leaving the sinking ship. Personally I find a nation obsessed with material possessions and low moral values represents all that is wrong in this world. No wonder your friends are increasingly turning their backs. The only friend you appear to need is your greedy selves, Rather you than me.
My prediction? Some cookie-cutter politician from the left-or-the-right is going to win and proceed to do terrible things for at least four years, all while not solving any of the major problems facing our society here in the states or those affecting our entire civilization. I know this because those responsible for framing "the national debate" I.e. the MSM and the government, have not changed the way they go about business. It is just status quo as usual, even though the alarm bells are ringing in just about every discernible area importance is found in. The dominant party in the U.S. Congress stands opposed to the minority party about the going-ons in worldwide weather. Our representatives cannot even agree that mankind's actions can cause and is causing changes to our climate. I've watched many videos (be it from the MSM, a documentary or shows like Vice) over the last few years where segments the size of a city has fallen off a glacier. It's happening in Greenland and Antarctica. The permafrost in Siberia is thawing, which is why this was found: http://www.wired.com/2015/03/hunters-find-frozen-10000-year-old-baby-wooly-rhino/ These are very real, observable happenings that carry with them profound implications for everyone on the planet in one regard or another. But to the majority party of the U.S. Congress, it is "a hoax." - - - Updated - - - If Sarah Palin was a black male doctor, then she would be Ben Carson, the personification of a highly educated moron.
The surrender of American democracy to an oligarchy that deploys vast resources, increasingly under the cloak of anonymity, to insure the election of politicians who pander to their acquisitive interests is a work in progress. Essential to that process is media coercion wherein entertainers herd eagerly submissive ideologues into line via relentless propaganda and the promotion of comparatively piddling albeit lurid "sideshow" provocations. The moneyed elite, by definition, cannot muster the requisite votes without the subjugation of the unwashed masses. (And that is obviously easier to accomplished in the worst-educated states.) As a practical matter, an American's elective choices are severely circumscribed by the affluent few, and whilst some fantasize in outlandish flights of fantasy concerning imaginary nominees, the reality-attuned voter tries to make the better of the unattractive choices that he is actually allowed. No, you can't always get what you want aaaahhwaw No, you can't always get what you want aaaahhwaw No, you can't always get what you want aaaahhwaw But if you try sometime, you just might find You get what you need. Cui bono? ........................................"So, how do I flush?"
The control that the most affluent have achieved is generally applicable to the duopoly. As I noted, the reality-attuned voter tries to make the better of the unattractive choices that he is actually allowed. ... Nor, obviously, are the shrewd folks focused on increasing their vast accretions going to risk an "all or nothing" proposition. They hedge their bets wherever they can, in Congress and state houses as well as in national elections. They don't ever lose; they just win less. . .
Prediction is just simple word but plays an essential role in election in which media plays a crucial role to spread those prediction to people. Most of the time people change their mind set as per the prediction or we can say opinion poll.
Chafee vs. Cruz, discuss with maps. West Virginia is just trending too Republican, I doubt Chafee cracks 1% there. chafee 272 firewall includes ark., MIZZ, and help with sestak + heinekempt to regain dem senate maj.
Hillary wins the EC 341-197. She takes all the Obama 2012 states, plus North Carolina. 52-46 popular vote win. It doesn't really matter who the Republican candidate is. Any Republican sane enough to beat Hillary stands no chance in the Republican primary. Bush or Rubio couldn't take FL, Walker couldn't take WI.
If you're correct, we're doomed. It's a shame that very few are willing sacrifice now so that future generations will not be bankrupt. Such is the legacy that will be left behind by this free stuff buffoon in chief. Hillary will change very little.
Unless Obama's poll numbers shoot up, that is not going to happen. If Hillary wins, she'll probably get about 278 Electoral Votes and 49% of the popular vote.
To soon to really tell, but would be very surprised if Democrats don't pick up seats in the Senate. With the Republicans defending about 30 seats and the Democrats 10 that favors the Democrats. I also suspect that all these police killings and things like Charleston will result in a significant increase in the black vote. Of course, the increase in Hispanic voters will continue. Bernie Sanders should energize the Democratic party as well. Republican support for the TPP should also hurt them. Should Obamacare be brought down I would expect the Republicans to lose the House and Senate.
I agree that the Republicans that would have shot at winning, won't make it out of the primary. The hard right would never allow Rand Paul or someone similar to get the party nomination. So if you liked Bush and Obama, you'll be very happy. Big brother is watching.
Such a bold statement to make. Voters have memories more short term than a fish (15 seconds). It's way too early to tell anything. To even say Hillary will win her primary would be absurd. There is too much time and too many Donors that haven't backed candidates yet....
Donald Trump will win the GOP nomination despite refusing to sign Carrot Top Adelson's pledge to surrender US foreign policy to Bibi Netanyahu, name fellow entertainer "Kid Rock" as his running mate, and on November 8, 2016, in addition to their 90% White party, will attract Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, female Americans, and younger Americans, overwhelmingly carrying The Best Educated States to add to The Worst Educated States on which the GOP already has a firm lock. Then, they'll wake up again, and need to change the bed again
One question to you fellow americans. When will you actually vote for a President that does good for your country and not one who starts the most wars
perhaps you are in need of a reality check There is nothing in American experience or in American political life or in our culture that suggests we want to use hard power. But what we have found over the decades is that unless you do have hard power — and here I think you're referring to military power — then sometimes you are faced with situations that you can't deal with. I mean, it was not soft power that freed Europe. It was hard power. And what followed immediately after hard power? Did the United States ask for dominion over a single nation in Europe? No. Soft power came in the Marshall Plan. Soft power came with American GIs who put their weapons down once the war was over and helped all those nations rebuild. We did the same thing in Japan. So our record of living our values and letting our values be an inspiration to others I think is clear. And I don't think I have anything to be ashamed of or apologize for with respect to what America has done for the world. We have gone forth from our shores repeatedly over the last hundred years and we’ve done this as recently as the last year in Afghanistan and put wonderful young men and women at risk, many of whom have lost their lives, and we have asked for nothing except enough ground to bury them in, and otherwise we have returned home to seek our own, you know, to seek our own lives in peace, to live our own lives in peace. But there comes a time when soft power or talking with evil will not work where, unfortunately, hard power is the only thing that works. Far from being the Great Satan, I would say that we are the Great Protector. We have sent men and women from the armed forces of the United States to other parts of the world throughout the past century to put down oppression. We defeated Fascism. We defeated Communism. We saved Europe in World War I and World War II. We were willing to do it, glad to do it. We went to Korea. We went to Vietnam. All in the interest of preserving the rights of people. And when all those conflicts were over, what did we do? Did we stay and conquer? Did we say, "Okay, we defeated Germany. Now Germany belongs to us? We defeated Japan, so Japan belongs to us"? No. What did we do? We built them up. We gave them democratic systems which they have embraced totally to their soul. And did we ask for any land? No, the only land we ever asked for was enough land to bury our dead. And that is the kind of nation we are. - Colin Powell
Relax, I'm not judging Americas intervention in WW2, but there were far more countries that did fight that today do not get same recognition as US. I didn't mean that your fight for freedom is bad. But you would have to agree that US have been involved in many useless wars and those presidents seem to always get most popularity. At least last 20-30 years. You cant really believe that bombing countries left and right is some type of "protection" against all evil. I just can understand how you guys can send your sons and daughters to die in remote god forsaken countries for the benefit of your companies.
