I hope you, and other Obamatrons, realize that "Europe" doesnt count. This is not a "world" election.

I hope you and other Dubyites understand that America does better in the world with strong allies. Allies that don't vote in our elections but certainly act in ways that can help or hinder us after our elections.

We've seen how lukewarm support from offended traditional allies hinders our progress abroad.

I am sorry, but our elections are NOT up for a global debate. We put who we want in power. I know the Middle east wants Obama to be president, they have said it over and over again.

But this is America, the other nations have NO SAY in who we elect, and we have NO SAY in who they elect.

I am sorry, but elections are off limits. We are not that much of a "global" society where other countries should have any influence on our election.

THIS IS AMERICA, DAMNIT!!!!! LEARN TO LOVE THIS COUNTRY!!!!!!!

Love this country by making sure you say something when your leaders are messing up the country, and not follow them blindly like the Bush-ites. Our international standing is down the toilet thanks to the clown in this increasingly globalized world. Someone needs to learn to love this country the right way and not mess it up by loving it with flag waving, and pickup sticker pasting.

I get it. You think the only ones who love America are those who share your viewpoint.

You're so wrong you're silly.

Grow up.

Question Has there EVER been a political convention where...

What gives?

Bush and Cheney got more mention from the Democrats than they did form their own party.

Do any of you diehard Dubyites grasp the signifigance?

Anyone?

Unlike the neocons, I do. I believe in the principles this nation was built on, like defending liberty, and not going abroad in search of monsters to destroy, and seeking friendly commerce with all nations. We're a part of this world whether the neocon faux patriots like it or not. We can choose to be Reagan's "shining city on the hill," setting an example that the rest of the world wants to emulate, or we can be the schoolyard bully that everyone fears and wants to take down. I'm with Reagan. The neocons would betray not only him but the men who fought and died to make this the greatest nation on Earth.

Bush and his neocon buddies are anti-American traitors, plain and simple.

Bush, Cheney, and their neocon cronies don't hate America. They just hate 99.9% of the people living here.

OK, you have that part down all right.

Our global partners have a big stake in the outcome , even though they have no vote.

In america, citizens are NOT expected to march in lockstep agreement. Especially with chickenhawk leadership and their hate radio mouthpieces. Look into it. This is the land of the free. Do your own thinking instead of grabbing some overfed fool's talking point.
