The Brits had their Joe Wilson moment in the second TV debate before the elections when the Conservative leader David Cameron accused the PM Gordon Brown in weasely tactics:
Those leaflets you've been getting from Labour, those letters you've been getting from Labour, are pure and simple lies.
Apparently the liberals across the pond are using the same fear mongering propaganda as their American progressive friends: trying to scare the folks that the Conservatives will take away their beloved social perks. This (unfortunately for the UK and the USA) is not true. No leader has emerged yet that is bold enough to wave real spending cuts on his/her flag on the way to higher office.
I know you don’t care about Britain but the week in politics in America was so slow that Charles Krauthammer wrote today a piece about baseball. So for me it was between the UK elections and the conspiracy theory that the US military is sending the illegal aliens back to Mars with that secret rocket they blasted into space yesterday.
Back to Britain and speaking about illegals – did you know the LibDems leader Nick Clegg is promising them amnesty?
In the UK they have three party politics – they have two sets of liberals and Clegg is the second socialist option – in case somebody is disappointed in Labor but still wouldn’t give up the ideology – they vote for LibDems. This is how liberals keep staying in power in Britain.

You have 3 sets of liberals in the UK as far as we can tell.
One of the big 3 parties just happens to be able to pretend otherwise.
True - but I dread the idea of Obama going around celebrating liberal victory in UK - I would prefer to see the Tory win
Clegg is sharp, and by far the darling of the Far Left. A real idealog. He'd be right at home with Neville Chamberlain and worse.
P.M. Brown and Mr. Camron are effective in debates, but quite close in idealogy - closer than a Republican and democrat candidate. A more nuanced difference.
Boy, do they kow-tow to the Global Warming crowd. It is apparent they are taking it much more as a fact, in spite of the temperature data scandal.
At least they didn't go as far as wanting to arrest the Pope during his upcoming visit.
A RINO over there would be considered on the far right.
England is in trouble. Such a shame.
I agree with you - but win for LibDems will encourage the lefties in the US. We should give shoulder to the Tory. I don’t want to hear the MSM celebrating British far liberal win.
One thing I did like was that both Brown and Cameron both supported more nuclear power. I suppose Clegg wants a windmill in everyone's backyard.
May be if they cut the wasted money line going to EU - they will not have to pay for taxes on imaginary things like climate change.
