Thanks and a tip of the hat to the press in the United Kingdom for telling the truth about Romney.

in the US the whore media would feel the need to report some stupid shit like what Michelle Obama will wear to the olympics, or where she might go to eat or shopping to "balance" out anything negative they might report on Romney.

As long as Mittney is there, he's under scrutiny 24/7 by actual media coverage. And he looks bad.

we should make our leaders spend more time out of the country. Congress next. Make 'em hold press conferences in foreign lands and answer real questions, not the pablum they get here.

It is obvious to me that Mitt the Shit is a waste of over-privileged skin, but he seems to be fooling a good many people. I don't understand it; as with Bush, his eyes are too close together, but I know folks who think he's the right choice. What is glaring to me does not seem to disturb most of my friends. Perhaps I'm a little rabid in my desire to see Mitt lose.

...after ol' George Dubya*, but I guess not.

Welcome to DU!

If we only had a bit more of that here, people like Romney wouldn't get away with their BS, not at all

will cancel his passport and hang on to him for about three months for us?

exactly what's missing in the States -- the expression of natural humanity, the saying out loud of what is patently obvious. This is a dangerous road we are going down, folks.

but this is what a philosopher whom we quite like here in the Old Countries had to say about a "foreign system of checks" on the US political system (on Democracy Now!):



(and hello to everyone, quite a lovely forum you have here)

I think the man is on to something there
