What candidate do you support Will? I thought you didn't care about politics and didn't research the subject or pay any attention to it. Are you a bigger fan of John McCain's economic plans? If so, why? Not breaking balls, just looking for info.

That's because the other countries want more handouts from the U.S. They say our economic condition is affecting other countries worldwide. When we're in a huge deficit, we can't hand the world our money so easily, thus their economic conditions decrease as well.

Honestly, I think both candidates suck a fat cock. I may not vote this November. I need to hear more from both sides.

By the way, to put taxes in a relative term. The lower 50% of taxpayers in this country pay the same amount of taxes to the federal government as does ExxonMobil. Just comes to put things in perspective as to how out of control corporate tax rates are in this country, along with government wasteful spending.

I wasn't being totally facetious with that comment. I didn't read the article either, since the headline basically summed it up. My point is that since Europe tends to be very liberal, they'd obviously prefer the cadidate they perceive to be more like themselves. I also suspect other world leaders, the not so savory ones in particular, would perceive him as being the more naive of the two, thus easier to manipulate. Wouldn't you agree?

I see it less as him being the more "naive" of the two, and more of him being the more willing to practice diplomacy, rather than refusing to talk, issuing threats, talking "tough" etc. But, the only people who could actually answer that question are leaders and citizens abroad.

Summary trial?

No need to waste taxpayer $.

While this may be true, it's starting to change. The countries realized their socialist "feel good" policies were starting to bankrupt the government, thus they had to keep raising taxes. Citizens couldn't bear the large tax increases, so they started moving out of their home countries and relocating to neighboring countries with lower tax rates. Well, a lot less people = less money for the government, so the people started to see the quality of life decrease, thus they started electing more conservative leaders, and have been ever since. Check out Germany, France, Italy, etc. They've been electing pro-U.S. leaders for a reason.

Oh, and why is it that if 95% of whites were to vote for Hillary over Obama, they would be deemed racists, but 98% of blacks voted for Obama, and the media didn't bat an eye?
