Obama win preferred in world poll
- Thread starter youwanttoshagme

im not interested in who our media likes, or theirs. It's who we like.
I know it's shocking, but some people actually take the time to look into the politics and policies of other countries and their approach to world relations.
maybe you should care about who is in charge of other countries, and what other countries think about who is in charge of ours. Or not. ya know, whatever.

If I liked the "rest of the world" so much, I'd live there and not here. 
Obama can not let the Republicans use Sarah Palin to get sympathy votes from white women and white blue collar workers !
I have stated Obama is losing it !!!
Obama is too aggressive to attack Sarah Palin and will backfire !

Yep
Mr. Daystar
In a bell tower, watching you through cross hairs.
Oh, it will be intact, but when you try and buy anything that takes more then one bullet at a time, good luck. Or ammo, they'll put so many restrictions on it, you'll be able to go to the range for 15 minutes every month. Prices will sky rocket even more then they did with Clinton...what good is it to own guns, if you can't shot them?

They call it "Squirrel It Away" . . "Buy it cheap and stack it deep !" lol !
You stop that this instant !!
Munitions have essentially doubled in price over the last 3 - 4 years.
Hail the "free market". :thefinger
I think that this latest price hike is 90 % about the global market competing for raw matls. copper, lead etc.
Isn't life great ?
Oh and Obama ? Way too thin skinned and intolerant to any critique.
A big baby !
You'll still have your semi-automatics. And higher ammo prices (if that happens) is hardly handing all our guns to Europe, or not being able to shoot them. As Facetious recommends - if your instinct is that price increases are coming then stockpile now.
Yep. But let's face it, Democrats are ALWAYS the preferable choice for us as far as other Western nations go. America is such a right-wing nation compared to nearly every other developed or near-developed nation on that list.
In Britain, is the idea of a national health service, free at the point of need, a point of contention for any of our political parties? Even our far-right racist parties like the BNP aren't opposed to it!
Is a Sarah Palin-type in any way a serious candidate for office in our country? How many people would support such a hard-line anti-abortionist? Can anyone think of a politician whose idea of a good photo opportunity is being down at the rifle range?
Can you think of an incident where the religion of a politician is an issue? There was some minor controversy with Ruth Kelly a year or so ago, but I'm struggling to think of ANYTHING else...Even the way their media operates is different. If you switch on their news channels (MSNBC, Fox, and even CNN to an extent), there's a hysterical quality to their reporting which forgoes any sense of fairness and balance. We complain about subtle bias when it comes to the BBC or ITV, but with some of their networks, there's not even a pretence of impartiality.
If you look at Australian, French or even Canadian politics, there's a sense of familiarity about it. The things they talk about are similar to the things we talk about. When it comes to American politics, they might as well exist on another planet.
Barack Obama is a Democrat - that automatically makes him more favourable to the rest of the world. But in addition to that, Obama has natural statesman-like, diplomatic qualities. He also seems to be a million times more informed than this war veteran who has no idea who American troops have been fighting in Iraq, and who has admitted his lack of knowledge on economic issues.
After 8 years of Bush, supporting a guy who has voted his way 90% of the time is just downright stupid. This election ought to be a no-brainer, but I'm afraid it's going to be too close for comfort.
The opinions of allies should never be deemed worthless, but America interferes in the affairs of so many other nations. Of course that's going to create greater interest in domestic American politics, when it has such implications for the rest of us.
If we were talking about an America which hardly ever engaged in conflicts with other nations, which simply protected its borders instead of maintaining massive military bases all across the world, which focussed on domestic issues (i.e. doing what was best for AMERICANS), while trading freely and providing humanitarian aid where it is needed, then I'd agree with you. It wouldn't really be our concern. But since that's not the case...
