"Real "liberals" in the UK took us to war and fucked our economy"

Jesus what a fuck-wit. It was the heritage of the Thatcher betrayal of the people that did both of those things.

I was talking about conservatives, not neo-conservatives, who tend to be a lot like Palin.

I didn't say that "Bush shrank the federal government."

Thank God for the first amendment! No democracy can survive without it.

Did you all see her on the news tonight? She had written notes on her left hand while ragging on Obama for using a telepromptor! One word was energy and a couple more I couldn't read...probably her name.

Look Richard...I'm gettin' sick of your insults.
I love a good argument but you are acting like a child.

"The heritage of Thatchers betrayal of the people"?

Good god man, where did you find that piece of dogma?
You know as well as anyone, that UK involvment in Iraq was very much down to Blair and a cabinet which refused to stand up to him.
You cant blame everything on Thatcher....for ever!

The false "economic boom" under Blair and Brown may have had its roots in Thatcherite economic policy, but Blair is a well known admirer of Margaret Thatcher and Brown issued an invite to the Iron Lady, to visit him in Downing Street.

Both continued and expanded Thatcherite economic policies including de-regulation of the banking system to make the financial mirage appear real.
Brown saddled us with billions of pounds of debt to bailout a corrupt system.

Are any of the above the actions of REAL liberals or REAL democrats?...I don't think so

A good friend of mine from Scotland, now a Canadian, threw an egg at Thatcher's car when he was 4 years old. The mine was closed and the miners were protesting.

LOL!! She tried to bounce back by writing "Hi Mom" on her hand for her   next appearance, but...ya know, the funny thing is she probably doesn't even understand why she MIGHT be embarrassed to be caught cribbing notes on he rhand like a grade-school kid...sheesh.

Richard...You may have noticed, that when describing Blair or Brown as "liberals", I use inverted commas to signify that they are no more liberal than those here who whine about minority "rights", yet would deny the right of free speech or free thought, to all.

"Obama never cracked Americas blue collar sector, he was elected on the black vote, which widened, not narrowed the divides" ake

For pete's sake, give it up. The percentage of Black people in the US is under 14 (FOURTEEN!) And I would assume at least a couple of them are not of voting age. So give it up, dammit. Unless you enjoy looking like an idiot.

Amos...Why are you indulging in this silly stuff?

I watched the lady's speech on utube, and while I didn't agree with much of the politics, it was exactly what her audiance and I suspect "middle America" wanted to hear.
What's so bad about writin' notes on your hand?...I've got to do it every time I go for the "messages".(wee bit o' the Scots vernacular flung in there pal) :0)

Less than 14 percent, Ake. Get it into your head; see if you can make it stick.

Ake:

Wal. the thing about writing notes on your hand is it is kinda child-like, and certainly not indicative of a well-grounded executive mindset. No, there's nothing "wrong" with it per se. It's more a question (a) silliness in style and (b) what it says about her short term memory.

Ebbie....When the demographic says that the white population votes 50/50 Obama/ McCain and the black population vote 90/10 Obama/McCain, then 14 becomes a very important percentage.

Now before you get tucked up in bed, stop shouting insults, make yourself a nice cup of hot milk and read this Sweet dreams! :0)

Breakdown of demographics reveals how black voters swept Obama into White House
By Claire Cohen
Last updated at 6:33 PM on 05th November 2008

Yesterday, 140 million Americans - a staggering 65% of the registered electorate - cast their votes to make Barack Obama the 44th president of the United States of America. Here we show how the results break down...
Black Americans

95% of black voters went to the ballot for Obama and only 4% for McCain.
Obama has succeeded in mobilising African-American voters who, although strongly Democratic, have in the past been apathetic in turning out to vote.
Yesterday's surge in black voters, however, only boosted black turnout by two percentage points from 11% to 13%.
