    Well, as someone who has lived all their life in the UK, I can say I won't be voting - I've had the right since 1988 but never used it as it is a complete waste of time. All our politicians of all parties are liars and have their own secret agendas.

    Besides, the PM and MPs don't have any real power any way, the money men make the big decisions -

    "Give me the power of the money and it will not matter any more who is commanding"

    Why not, if you are not happy about current trends at least your vote counts as a protest against the same old, same old :eek:

    Do you mean leprechauns? or midgets?

    For that matter, are there enough of either to carry the vote for him?

    I live in the UK, and as per normal in the election run up mud gets flung. But to be completely honest, Labour (Blair) is going to win the election by default really. Because of general public opinion and the stigma the other two main partys have.. Lib Dems, nice, but perhaps too nice to run a country, torries - liers. What amazes me, is that the torries, the party with a reputation for playing tricks and using loop holes elected Michael Howards.. why?.. the guy just looks like a insurance salesman.

    So this is why we are going to be stuck with blair, just because there is no one else :S

    Obvioulsy i can't speak for the entire UK population, but generally speaking people are fed up of hearing about the iraq war. Yes, we know it was not quite legal and there plenty of dirt to throw, but its ooolldd news. Big issues tend to be immigration and hospitals, and also flexible working hours for parents.

    Why accept the same old same old when things are going bad, get out and make things happen and demand new leadership :eek:

    Things can change if enough energy is put fourth by the people, what I see everyone from the UK saying is that there is no chance for change, I don't fall for that line.

    The Republicans do not have a chance in the mid-term elections and Bush is a lame duck here in the states already, so we will see change if we want change.

    But is it "real" change or are you simply swapping one brand of corruption for another - are any politicians in society today completely honest, moral and ethical???

    Do you want the same old "Oil & War men" running the show, Americans are going to do away with those who took power and ruined this nation.

    Like I said Bush is a lame duck and none of his policies will be supported, his social security program is doomed and he is under so much pressure on oil and the war that he must give in or none of his programs will pass into law.

    He can't get his judges approved nor folks like Mr. Bolton as UN rep. because Senators are not supporting him out of fear for their jobs in the mid term elections.

    Well that is not a big deal here in the states as all the hunters use dogs to hunt.

    They vote Republican because the Republicans tell the Rednecks that the Dem's will take their guns, beer and pickup trucks :p :eek:

    The Republicans are famous for taking advantage of Church going folks and Rednecks and those people can't see that the Rich Men at the top of the Republican party just use them to get in office, truth is they could not care less for those folks, just the 2% super rich is all. :eek:

    Like the old saying goes a sucker is born every minute :eek:

    Well, post #69 is Anthony's version of reality. Those old enough to believe in those kind of fairy tales are not old enough to vote in the first place.

    Americans, as with most free voting democracies, will continue to vote for those that they feel will benefit them most. In our case, we (well, most) want someone that will take the threat our enemies pose, seriously. Democrats are not *currently* capable of doing so. Appeasement is more their style (North Korea).

    Those that are generally whining and crying are typically more concerned about the rights of terrorists to stay in a Marriott Hotel, served fresh chicken and vegetables, while planning their next deed.

    The last senetence, about Bolton...Democrats are using their last ditch effort as cry babies to try anything to stop something Bush wants. Has nothing to do with fear of their jobs. Dems are notoriously crybabies and think for the better of their own immediate needs as opposed to those for the better of our nation. What dems are doing to Bolton and judicial nominations is embarrassing for them. It only solidifies Democrats efforts to divide our nation at any cost.

    As long as you can laugh at your own misfortune ;)

    Is it time for a "Bush stole my can of oil" post yet?

    Minstrel, I didn't know you were in grade school? They grow beards early up there, eh?

    You must have thought long and hard to come up with that side-splitter, Gtech. Don't give up your paper route just yet, okay?

    GTech is one of my forum hero's Minstrel, even though we agree on little he adds energy to every thread.

    Sort of like you and I Minstrel, needless to say he is a great forum player like you Minstrel and I have a hell of a lot of fun with both of you guys.

    PS: Minstrel you and I have agreed on one issue, or maybe two but are still friends, so it is possible that you guys can be friends :p :eek:

    It took about as long as it did you bashing forum members for trying to help. It doesn't surprise me though, since I pointed out your childish posting earlier today, that you would suddenly take an interest in me.

    You're mistaken, Gtech. I'm not interested in you. You're confusing me with Elton John again...
