I already know what my Swiss relatives think about American Politics - and it's ain't terribly nice. I'd love to hear it, but be prepared for the patriotic to be insulted.

I beg to differ. The truly patriotic will not be offended.

What NA says- be prepared for roughly the same reception one would get in France (or any other country) for venturing their opinions. Doesn't make them less valid, good or bad, just means people are the same all over this world when it comes to their home turf- they tend to get defensive. I am very interested in what you think, btw, just a caution that others might take exception and to be prepared to argue your position. (Especially if you like Bush).

I don't even like Bush anymore. It's been a while.

While I'm sure it's not pretty, I'd love to hear what you have to say.
I think that we're all "grown up" enough to respect yet another opinion in the mix.

I'd vote for Obama even if I did disagree with him on every political issue simply because I perceive him to be a good and honorable man....and that's good enough for me these days. In fact, that's better than good enough -- it's a goddamned better thing than we've had politics-wise in this country for a long time.


So yeah, I'm giving Barrack Obama the chance to fall flat on his face as president. The results can't be any worse than what Bush has wrought.


Why the fvck not?

STC, I have to agree with you here. I cannot, in all good conscience, lob a vote in Hillary's direction since I do not believe her to be good or honorable (her not being a man is immaterial). I'm leaning very heavily in Obama's direction.

My questions is, if Obama lands the nomination, who will land on the ticket as veep. Would an Obama/Edwards ticket be the go?

Her lack of a penis is a cause for concern for me for one very big reason:


Hillary will feel the need to show that she is as tough as any man. Imagine insecure little Republican gay boyz playing war games and multiply by 3....that'll be Hillary.

I agree with Sac. I think she's not balanced, and by that I don't mean a'la Brittney Spears but rather that she's going to spend a lot of time and effort showing she's got bigger cajones than the other players, and all the while it may be a situation that would benefit from a gentler, more diplomatic approach. I also suspect she's got a few grudges going that would impair her abilities to set aside the past and move forward. We need to start fresh, if that is at all possible. I'd love to see a viable female candidate, but I'm afraid it's not going to happen this time around.
