Ye Olde Zot! Election - An English View

It might be argues that as an Englishman, resident in the UK, your election is none of my business but as it will effect everyone in the world, I feel entitled to a voice, if not a vote. (Judging by your last foray into democracy, perhaps votes are not all that important)

I do not envy you having to choose between the inarticulate incumbent Bush and an unimpressive challenger who seems to live thirty years in the past. Why can't you wonderful country find better candidates than this pair?

Whoever wins will have to confront the monstrous debt, ($7 trillion and growing at over $1 billion a day) which has been run up by the current administration. Your economy (and probably everyone else's)is therefore in for a very tough time and whoever wins will probably get the blame.

From my point of view the ideal scenario would be for a Bush win and then, as a result of the collapse of the economy, a Hilary victory in 2008. Kerry would be a one termer and the credibility of the democrats would be undermined for a generation if he won.

My worry about this would be the Bush might interpret such a victory as a mandate for open season on Iran which could unleash a terrorist backlash that would make 9/11 look like a tea party (and I am not trivialising the appalling events of that day)

We live in interesting but very dangerous times

My first motorcycle was a triumph. After much trouble I stripped the electrics out of a wrecked norton. Other than the fact that I probably had the first (and only) chopper with daytime running lamps, it worked out fine.

It might be argues that as an Englishman, you are a clueless idiot.

Hey, interested anglo, I think Jim just opened a bottle of electric whoopass on your buttocks.

[bad company]

Mine began life as a trophy TR-6.

This is what I want for Christmas: I can dream, can't I?

[Petronski]

Good Lord, dude. "English" is afterall YOUR language. Learn it.

Jim, if I remember correctly, it was an article about french and english liberals ridiculing the Whitewater investigations and the impeachment procedings back in September 1988 that prompted me to sign up and start posting to this forum. My sentiment then that we don't give a rat's @$$ what some stuffy self-important european idiots think still applies today.

[Fawnn]

A landslide will definitely give Bush a mandate to clean house, both at home and abroad. Yeehaw!

I'll see your Yeehaw! and raise you a wOOhOO!!! ;)

[Conspiracy Guy]

I remember those.

"Interested Anglo" and you say this: "Why can't you wonderful country find better candidates than this pair?"
I sense that English is NOT your first language.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Nice.

[Darksheare]

After reading the supposed "Interested ANGLO's" slaughtering of the English language, I figure that English is not his first language, let alone a natural language for him.

[Laura Earl]

Kiss me arse ya bloody fool!

[Darksheare]

Congrats! You're a parking lot!

[4CJ]

Doesn't mean I could afford one, I just want one.
