I don't believe that he's a racist just naive enough to think that there is no racial inequality in our country.<br /><br />Mr. Cain - If I was gonna support a businessman for the presidency, it wouldn't be the guy who owned a string of failed pizza joints, just sayin'.<br /><br />Mr. Pawlenty - get back to me when he says something that hasn't been given to him to rehearse from Faux News.<br /><br />Mr. Johnson - ummm Gary, you're claim to fame can't solely be that you've vetoed every piece of legislation that crossed your desk. Sometimes, you actually have to DO things.<br /><br />Mr. Daniels - Ok, so we want the guy who was in charge of W's finances to run for president, the brains behind the tax credit scam that dropped us into a deficit to begin with. Great idea!<br /><br />Mr. Huntsman - So you're biggest accomplishment so far is your work in the current administration's State Department.... not sure how you're gonna pass the purity test in THIS political climate, but good luck!Piratedanhttp://dan-piratescove.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-3378846896480688082011-05-19T20:00:50.752-05:002011-05-19T20:00:50.752-05:00I had to renew my license this last month, and sin...I had to renew my license this last month, and since I'd just moved a few weeks earlier I did the voter registration thing at the same time (in the vain hope that someday...SOMEDAY...I'll get called for jury duty).

Then they say, "if you outlaw lying, who decides?" Err, it's right there in our Constitution -- a jury of their peers would decide. Not a judge, not a government minister, a jury. The teaching of Civics to our children, alas, appears to have become as vanishingly rare as Republicans who are not batshit crazy frothing lunatics.

It's considerably more…. well not exactly <i>exciting</i>, but at least more 'interesting' than you might believe. <br /><br />We may have a Monarchy with all of its inbreeding, sense of decency, endless cups of Earl Grey Tea served in fine bone china, awesome weddings (with commoners sometimes) and pointy-hat business, but we do also have politics (though, I'll grant you, maybe with a small 'p'). We have a Prime minister, you know, and although the Queen (Gawd bless 'er) has shit-tonnes of money, lots and lots (and lots) of silly hats, a rabbit-skin toilet seat (allegedly - though I'm told the Queen NEVER poops), she doesn't really have any power to speak of (unless never pooping is a power). <br /><br />In the heyday of British politics (when I was a mere lad), one of our Prime Ministers thought she was at least as powerful as your then President (good old trickle-down Ronnie himself) and heck, even now we can have some feisty left-versus-right shenanigans.<br /><br />Then again, I am reminded of an old Daily Show report about one of our General Elections, where the reporter of the day (one Stephen Colbert) announced that in Britain, politics was boring - because we had "no issues". Even gay marriage wasn't an issue because in Europe, everyone is gay!<br /><br />One aspect of US politics that fascinates me arises from your absolute adherence to the 'right to free speech' (some big amendment or another, I think). In Britain we have something called 'libel' and the vast majority of people (not just the Queen) tends to frown upon lying (though tabloid newspapers owned by Australians are obviously exempt). In the USA, it seems to be almost applauded when a presidential candidate says something like "Obama is a lesbian from the planet Zod who wants to amputate everybody's trigger finger" and states it as a matter of fact (no doubt resulting in the spawning of an entire generation of "zodders" who would demand to see Obama's intergalactic passport). Now if I was a prolific political blogger such as your good self, these truth-benders would be the subject of many of my posts.<br /><br />Anyhoo, keep up the good work. I love your rants (I'm a Brit and I can only get angry vicariously).grumbleweedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01497860332463980147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-14312219476524521502011-05-19T13:57:58.881-05:002011-05-19T13:57:58.881-05:00Schwarzenegger-Why not, at least he's not Keny...Schwarzenegger-Why not, at least he's not Kenyan!<br /><br />Here's a game to play at home: Who is dumber-Levi Johnston or George W.
