So, the Churchill hating scum...
Yes removing the bust of Winston Churchill from the Oral office. I'd respect him far less for keeping it all things considered..."It was during Churchill's second premiership that Britain suppressed Kenya's Mau Mau rebellion. Among Kenyans allegedly tortured by the colonial regime included one Hussein Onyango Obama, the President's grandfather."

I think the Republican party is going to reap what they have sown at the next election. The Tea Party has taken over the GOP and I don't think the nation sees Palin as presidential. So unless something happens to make Clinton run in the primary, I think he'll make it to two terms.
Once more for the slow; Palin will not even be nominated. If you rely on your news to fill you in on this, you are missing out. She is a crowd pleaser, a warmup act for a main event.Prof Prolapse said:

Jimbeaux, I know nothing about it, but I have a friend who's convinced that Palin will be next president, which normally I wouldn't take much notice of but he's got a reputation of being usually correct. He correctly predicted Ed Milliband to beat his brother in the Labour leadership battle, even though David was a massive odds on favourite.
Palin is currently trading as 2nd favourite to be the republican nominee, and is third favourite to be next president.
Just curious as to why you feel so sure she won't do it, and in which case who will?
Just my feeling and in discussion with others. My pick is Mitt Romney.Palin is currently trading as 2nd favourite to be the republican nominee, and is third favourite to be next president.

Jim, not realy being that clued up on the US political thing, and with time zones being 12 hours arse about face our US political news has usually been heavily dummed down!!
Who are the likely possible runners for Republican and Democrat or is there a good dummies guide link to the runners?
Have to wonder how different things might have been (if at all) if Billary or McCain had won the race to 1600 Pensylvania avenue
I believe the Repubs will run Mitt Romney, Haley Barber, or a lesser known. More to come as time permits. All good questions for discussion BTW.

Jimbeaux for President.
You would be pleasantly shocked how moderate I would govern. 
If my manner of governence disappointed you, then you would have been a phuck up to begin with; quite simple.

Of course there's a saying... "It takes a Carter to get a Reagan".
Just what you need, a president who cannot remember his name or whether he has shat himself 5 minutes ago. Perhaps that should read, it takes a Cinton to get a bush jnr..... Shudder....... Either way, deceitful, sociopathic politicians are one of the few constants in the world along side taxes and death, changing the colour of said politician or allegiance is not going to make much of a difference to the final outcome.
Long time no see Jim, doing okay ?

Considering he was pulled up on that twice on the first page, I do think your outrage on page 4 is probably a bit late. Someone even posted a picture of a hippo!
Anyway, live it up.
(Can I call you a "f****** c***" for a punctuation error? )
Yeah but I wanted to extend the fun just a little longer.Anyway, live it up.
(Can I call you a "f****** c***" for a punctuation error?
)Yes you can call me whatever you like, I've had the lot chucked at me in here. Like most things though its water of a ducks back for me. I'm not afraid to say what I want and if you lot don't agree, which is extremely unlikely I know,but I'm happy not to be a hypocrite.

Palin or the "Not a witch" lady will not even make the run. It would appear that your media is determined to make you all believe that one of those is a forgone conclusion. Romney is the current Republican leader. I understand that the left portions of the media want one of those women running as it will aid their cause. Jimbeaux said:

I read that back through and thought I had taken the "not" out. Palin or the "Not a witch" lady will not even make the run. It would appear that your media is determined to make you all believe that. Romney is the current Republican leader. I understand that the left portions of the media want one of those women running as it will aid their cause. I think the big problem with this is that although Romney is a good choice for the republicans in 2012 (and certainly his record with fixing deficits), his coming from Massachusetts is going to make him seem a little bit too..."Coastist" in the Primaries, where I think the Tea Party, assuming it hasn't fallen apart by that point, is going to be much better at getting the vote out. There's certain things in Romney's past (views on abortion for starters) that the Tea Party will grab onto like pitbulls.
The election is still the GOP's to lose I think, but they do need to make sure they can present a united front and make sure they can avoid the nastiness we've seen over the last year.
Fortunately the internet lets us look at some local affiliate stations for US news, and we get a nightly show from ABC here on the BBC. I'll admit a fairly strong preference for the left-wing in US politics, but oddly I vote the other way in the UK.

It is refreshing to hear a Brit admit that much of the media has a left lean to it. Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
