Who cares what they think? This is America not Canada. I wouldn't even take a guess as to who I would vote for to run their country. And I'm sure they wouldn't care if I did.

What a bunch of horsechit! We didn't runa round making the enemies you did so maybe that's why we never got invaded. The only folks who even tried that are you guys or had you forgotten?

We don't want you weaker; we'd prefer you be simply smarter!

Maybe Obama should go rule Canada then. He wasn't born there either.

Stick to hockey Canada.

It is pointless to argue with the wilfully ignorant. There are many right wing conservatives who believe that Canada is just part of the communist conspiracy.

There were no Canadian forces in Iraq during Desert Storm? There have been no Canadian forces in Afghanistan? Did you just come out of a 20 year coma?!

Really, that is what not I am reading. Please show me your source and I will show you mine. I disagree with Canada's involvement, just like I disagree with our involvement.

Every time we turn on an American tv news channel its usually American politics 24/7 so we know who mr Romney is maybe better than you Americans do as we see him without all the political baggage you people are obsessed with.
From an external (Canadian) standpoint we see Romney as a 1%er, a veritable puppet to the uber rich, totally out of touch with todays working middle class, a man who will tell you anything you want to hear to further his own cause whether he believes it or not,he flip flops like a fish out of water on just about every issue, he's vague and non committal on most issues,he has yet to define a plan to lead America out of its current rough time and basically all he does is criticize his opposition.This Romney character just comes across as a slimeball and even if i didnt like the Democrat opposition (Obama) i'd give a pass on this particular rightwing weasel and hope the Republicans come up with something with a bit more class/quality in 2016.

I think your view is fairly accurate. When you register as a Republican or a Democrat in the U.S. they send you a pair of partisan glasses the prevents you from seeing the bad in your own party or parties candidate.
