  3. Too bad Benghazi blew up in his face.

    BTW, FDR, Truman, and Johnson all started wars. Want to guess what else they all had in common? They where all libs.
  4. Which war did FDR start? Because I know someone else started WWII.
  5. Like I said. 2016 is going to be Christmas for the right.

  8. BAH! The Republican party are running for the hills right now. If they don't get their heads out of the 1950s soon, they are going to find themselves a scattered mess.

    I don't want my stance on this to be misinterpreted. I love a progressive viewpoint but there are many conservative ideals that I am in total agreement with (balancing the budget for one). The problem is that the Republican party aren't representing the conservative ideal at all. They are representing the right-wing extremist ideal. That sort of stance doesn't fly with people any more. You can't go around talking about legitimate rape and criticizing anyone who isn't the white Christian, straight male.

    I'd just like to make clear that I would love for the Republican party to survive, but it is my belief that it cannot do so in its current state. They have to stop appealing only to the rich and the religious. Those are fast receding demographics and they can't survive running with them for much longer.
  9. Ross, do you know who Marco Rubio who Aaron is talking about is? In the two interviews I've seen with him, I've seen a great politician. Romney is nothing. I may not agree with Marco Rubio, he's just one of those who has real skill in politics. If there's anyone to make the Republican party succeed somewhere near its state at the moment, it's him. I hope that maybe he'll change the party for the better though. Or someone else. But watch out for Marco Rubio.

    For the next election though.... Hillary Clinton? I'd actually love seeing an election with Hillary Clinton vs Marco Rubio, I think if money doesn't destroy it (like in this election), it could be a refreshening great demonstration of a democratic process with great debates and everything.
  10. Originally posted by Yogi:You all probably already read this in media, but here it goes: both Croatian generals (Gotovina and Markač) that were sentenced for 24 and 18 years of prison last year were freed today in front of court in Hague.

    Big day for Croatia and truth about war for Croatian independence.

    yeah awesome, history rewritten.
  11. Dont know who distgust me more, the war criminals. Whether they are Serb, Croatian, Muslim or Orthodox. Or the people still supporting them.

    Try hanging a Hitler poster in Germany and you will get shit up all over you, but in Croatia you are greeted by them all over the (otherwise gorgeous) coast.

    This have been my thoughts on politics for a long time.

    Let me explain with a picture:


    The people on the left of Obama will vote for him anyway, because he is the most progressive candidate anyway. Same for Romney, the conservative people will give him their vote, no matter what.

    The elections are all about the people in the middle. In the Netherlands, a lot of the voters are situated here. Since the 'depillarisation' most of us haven't been voting for the same party every time.

    So it is like a tug of war. Romney had to be more leftish, so that Obama had to go to the left, leaving him with less rope/voters.
