US goes into Iraq - chaos ensues
US leaves Iraq - REAL chaos ensues
I sure hope they don't let Turkey into the EU, because then WE will have THEIR shit on our hands.
I also would like to see which oil drills are owned by what kind of people afterwards, and what the deals are
:-/
the suckage won't stop after they have a new president... problems may come slower or faster for us, that's all.

So good to see America's hordes of unwashed mindless protestant evangelicals getting their stupid retarded creationist asses hand to them.

I'm now very curious to see the real effect of this change...
What past shown us is that between Republicans and Democrats, the difference is very small.. or maybe I'm not enough informed to see the differences in between the 2 parts...
Anyway, wait and see for the effects and results...
What The Past Shows Us...

Actually what the past shows us is that when the difference between Republican and Democrat CANDIDATES is very small, the Democrats always win.

So, are there any differences then ? Please elaborate...

"Obama is a Protestant christian."
Yes, but he's not an asshole about it. That's the difference.

Between the Democrats and the Republicans? They have huge, huge differences in almost every political area, and huge differences in the demographic that votes for them. You seriously can't spot any differences?

Democrats=D and Republicans=R.
Bomb?
D: Some
R: A lot
Taxes?
D: Some, at least for rich people
R: Less, at least for rich people
Government spending?
D: Some
R: Less, except, in reality, more, so its more taxes or more debt
They don't differ that drastically from each other when you compare to other countries. Stuff like free education is unlikely to happen in USA, or other services that would be provided via higher taxes. I'm not really up to speed on the status of healthcare, not even over here.
Healthcare
#105 posted by Blitz on 2008/11/07 04:24:14
Healthcare in the US is not as bad as it's cracked up to be. When I was unemployed a few years ago with no insurance, I had to go to the ER and I was afraid I was going to have a gigantic bill waiting for me a month later.
After my visit, I met with some financial lady at the hospital to tell her my situation and came out with the good news that I wouldn't have to pay a dime!
So yeah the system worked for me anyway :)

It's pretty unrealistic to expect answers like:
Taxes?
D: Yes, all of them
R: None
To those sort of questions. These are mainstream parties. One (still) acts a bit Reagan-era and the other prefers a bit more state involvement, but if you're expecting a choice between communist russia and the wild west then I agree. They're not *that* different.
It Isn't Entirely Unrealistic

So if I understand correctly, there is a middle right party (Democrats) and a right party (Republicans)... a kind of right party "flavours".. and then it explains why it is so difficult for non-US citizens to "feel" the differences...
I also think it will not change that much the US international policy, maybe much more the US internal policy, regarding all the "social" things Obama would like to put in place... Well, wait and see ;)
Right.

Continue racism / immigration discussion HERE.

No, this is not the right place. We need a thread called '"Other's" politics'.
#111 posted by starbuck on 2010/10/01 13:11:36
We also need a racism thread. Also, a script that automatically moves all of Trinca's posts into it.

Good Idea!
