Liberals have been in favor of the principle that those with more purchasing power should pay more in taxes - or in this case - UN dues. John Bolton has hoist them on the petard of their own devotion to higher taxes on the one hand and their blind faith in the UN on the other hand. It will be fascinating to see how they reconcile their dilemma.

Listen here Vlad....


I am so angry Bush had to 'recess appoint' this man because a REPUBLICAN, George "weepy" Voinovich and a few others though it "was a meanie"

I sure hope he gets re-instanted after his (limited because of the recess appointment) tenure is up. He can do that right? We just need to get him through the proceedings that the others were filibustering at the time.

The UN should be like a big homeowners association. Everyone pays the same annual dues!

I think he's right.

John Bolton, the US ambassador to the UN, argued that the GNI-based calculations could be "greatly skewed by distortions introduced into the marketplace by ­currencies which are non­-convertible".

"PPP would radically shift the balance," said one UN diplomat.

..the libs ain't gonna like this...see, since the UN is Muslim (over half) and since the french can't see their way past burning cars, Germany got rid of the little wiener,Putin has more grease on his hands than most Iraqi's had ink on their fingers on election day. Kofi's about as effective as wet toilet paper.......and Bolton's a meanie. Too funny!!

I also think it's time that Russia and China started picking up some of the peacekeeping chores. They hardly ever contribute and when they do it's in a very minor capacity. If they are going to be on the Security Council, then they should provide some security.
