Then logically if most Americans are indeed middle of the road by US standards,they would be VERY right leaning to foreigners...

Thanks for proving me correct.

Thanks for sharing, but I dont live in Canada, or Europe for a reason.

Its always funny because liberals cry when they dont get something, and then cry after they get it.

Look at the bailout for example, they lambasted Republicans for days for voting no, its all the Republicans fault the stock market crashed $1.2T in value in 1 day, then the Republicans give in, pass the bill, and the Republicans are then blamed again for giving in.

Just cant please a liberal, so conservatives need to stop trying. Thats the mistake Bush made..

Glad to see you at least had the decency to change it now that she has passed away. Maybe there is hope for you. Maybe.
You have absolutely no intelligence or common sense whatsoever if you didn't get what I was trying to say. I didn't put it there to make fun of her health. Take off your special glasses and think, just for a moment.

Too hard for you? Okay, well, my brain hurts from trying to explain things in such simple ways to liberals today. It's like trying to explain to a 2-year old why they can't draw on the wall. After a while you just want to say, "Because Mommy said so."

Lay off 2 of my employees and pocket the 1200 per week for myself. I will have to do some of the work myself but that is fine with me.
I have enough put back to survive the tax monger Obama and these dems and will wait until they ********** country up so bad that the rep party will take back control totally after they tax and spend us into the future.
So, with that said, there is a positive, 4 years of these nuts running gives us another 8 - 12 years of control after the disaster is over.

How so? The reason why he's losing is because he's moved his ticket away from the center and towards the far right. That was evident when he chose his running mate, and that's the only "base" she has energized.

A number of people responded by saying that the first thing they would do is lay off folks who work for them. Being mired in a recession with an attendant loss of business might be a good reason to lay folks off; getting a bill (tax or otherwise) that you cannot pay of otherwise might also be a good reason. But just because your candidate lost? That Wednesday morning staff meeting sounds like a fun one. 'Sorry everyone, Obama won so here is your last check - thanks for the help.' Damn glad I don't work for a$$holes like that. . . .
