"Sarge" wrote in message ... snip Don't kid yourself it is your business. 80% of your trade is with your southern neighbors. You probably work for an American company directly or indirectly. Therefore you are contributing to their bottom line. Too bad you have no say in who gets elected. Seems unfair doesn't it? Actually, Sarge, it is 85% of our foreign trade (not all trade - just foreign) is to the United States. I never thought I'd be saying this, but Bush is actually better in that regard even though I think that he is a complete buffoon. You see, in listening to Kerry, I think that the alternative would have been increased protectionism and therefor a complete disregard for free trade - which already is far from free! In addition, Kerry's touted answer to the whole mess of Iraq was to 'make us' support the effort so that it could be finished sooner. No thanks! We said no the first go around and don't appreciate being bullied. We will keep our efforts to making quilts and bandages for civilian relief, thank you. Cynthia |

Hey, don't have a pick at your cousins across the pond!
We didn't want to join the war, only Bush's poodle Phoney Tony did. "Cynthia Spilsted" wrote in message ... "John A." wrote in message ...

As for politics, I don't know who said it but my favorite election quote is (paraphrased): "The people will vote for the candidate they deserve." I think we can all agree that's universally true of all elections. JA We 49% have been saying that, but where does that leave us.... the huge minority? We were born here in the USA (or immigrated), but this is so polarized that we are basically in limbo, now without a country. Firstly, in this country, it would take a really, really bizarre person to even WANT to run... what with the lies, slander, incredible crap heaped upon them, in the few past decades of elections, by some really EVIL characters like Karl Rove (who is "Bush's Brain"). There is a pervasive atmosphere here now of greed and plunder (even on the borders of my own home). Yet I count my blessings... I may only lose my well water from 185 new unnecessary huge homes on very small lots sucking into it. I now think of the people, innocent citizens of Falluja, Iraq. Our "strong, single-minded leader" has told them to all leave because we are going to destroy their city, since the "insurrgents" of course are all STAYING there to be bombed to oblivion along with the homes of the citizens. Can't anyone see something wrong with this picture? Okay. Off the soapbox. Off to the Kleenex box! Kira |

Same goes here for Australia as for UK - the 'rank and file' didn't
vote to go to war, John Howard PM did and we weren't happy. Yes, we have just voted him back for another 4 years, but there were alot of other considerations, economy, lack of suitable opposition etc. Cheers Bron Australia [snip] Besides, who are we to judge? If we decry Americans for their political choices aren't we guilty of the same spirit of interference as we accuse them of having? Really now, I don't have to like who was elected south of the border. I am Canadian and it's really none of my business.

wrote in message ... You blithering idiots! You re-elected that imbecile George Bush as your President. He's a complete moron and so are most of you! - Don't you care what the rest of the world thinks of you? Don't you care what impact American foreign policy has on the rest of the planet? Does Iraq look like a success to anyone? Doesn't it bother you that he's alienated every friend you have? What were you thinking??? - Prior to this, it was American policy and the American government that was so universally hated around the world. Now it's going to be 'Americans' we hate. More sympathy for Bin Laden... More attacks on American institutions... More isolation. How blind can you dumb rednecks in middle-America be, not to see this? - If you get hit again, or your economy goes into a deep depression, the American people will be getting exactly what they deserve! - back turned I personally would like to know how this blithering idiot got this thing posted on EVERY single usenet group I've come across, INCLUDING some very closely monitored ones that wouldn't have allowed it anywhere near the group! |

Quoth "Max Penn" on Sun, 7 Nov 2004
13:23:08 -0800, Yes, but if you drink, don't quilt. Alcohol and thread don't mix. I'd be more concerned about mixing alcohol and quilting needles -- not to mention machine quilting! ----------------------------------------- Only know that there is no spork. |
