Wise words regarding democracy. I just wanted to know what reasons could be responsible to create a bush-voter.

Also, Germany is hardly a "left wing" country!


In Germany any party is crap...it doesn't matter what you chose, it's gonna be wrong...sad but true...at least it depends on ones own choice...

I reckon they believe that he's defending the country and making it safer. I am not kidding. Some people also do really support religion based politics.

What amazes me about the Republican party and "God" (or any rightwing party that claims to be religious) is that what they stand for and their policies are to be devoutly evil.

The whole selfish capatalism of the Thatcher/Reagan years was just horrible.

I feel I'm getting more and more left wing as I get older.

http://politicalhumor.about.com/library/images/blbushvsjesus.htm I really love this!

Anyway, I hope Kerry will win. He might be crap too, but man, I don't believe he can/will screw up as horribly as W.

And to Nils - yeah, they're all crap, our parties. But you get different sorts of crap. And I much prefer the social democratic crap to the conservative crap. Because I am at the mercy of our social welfare system at the moment, what with being ill for a long time now, and the conservatives are so hellbent on further dismantling our current social welfare system, it gives me the scare.

-Using clergy to enforce political agendy is always bit fucked up

-Thacher is hated but UK would be a developing country without economic liberation :twisted: Ok, train system sucks, bad idea.

-If you're not leftist when you're young, you're heartless. If you're socialist when you're old, you are a moron.

-When it goes to Bush, dont talk about right or left. Bush doesn't probably tell them apart himself.

I don't think that's strictly true. She ruined loads of towns in the UK, many of which are still unemployed.

Also, Britain was a horrible place in the 80s and early 90s. Definately a different place to what it is now, after "Cool Britania". That would never have happened during the conservative government.

It also has to do with worldwide change in industrialism, small towns with one factory employing loads of human labour have died everywhere in Europe. I am kinda liberal, not conservative, so I am not the biggest Thatcher fan. I would vote for some one who supports getting rid of counsil taxes and chavs.

haha! Me too.

But then again, council tax prevents private companies picking up your rubbish, or the maffia picking up your rubbish as the case is in Chicago.

My choice would be Kerry but I made my point quite often here already I think. 2 votes for Bush already? Wow. But it´s not really surprising that Kerry and Edwards lead with 15 votes in this forum so far IMO. And I think those that voted for Bush probably won´t say why. I haven´t heard anyone in this forum say anything really positive about Bush´s policies so far except one guy who was quite insulting and probably got banned anways...so I guess those who voted for Bush just won´t make their point anways, which is their good right of course.

I payed 80 quid a month for public sector not to pick up my rubbish. Yeehaa!

By the way, how hard is it for Americans to see if some one is clearly a moron? I don't get it... Well they got FOX News for pro-Bush propaganda but that can not explain it all :?

There's a major right wing bias in their media.

Read Lies And The Lying Liars Who Tell Them by Al Franken.

Well, it is certain that we are all aware of GWB's adventures and quirky fun-loving "Divine Right" way of bending the entire world into shape.

Kerry has expressed a willingness to use nuclear weapons to counteract any "clear and present danger" his administration would identify.

Definitely Kerry.

We need a good old-fashioned Old Testament-style "cleansing", dangit!! :twisted:
