One bit of good news then!
Its just great to hear good news occasionallyOne bit of good news then!
I have to admit that I enjoy American politics; so, I made a point of understanding it. You can have fun following the campaign. See how many scandals come out. (Read the first line of Rochester's "Ramble in St. James' Park." In fact, read the whole poem ... it's a hoot) And you can have fun figuring out how many times a candidate can fit "God" into a short speech. See all the unfaithful and divorced Congressmen praising the "Family". It's a blast ... and, like WWE, so obviously fake.
But the yanks lap it up (as long as it doesn't interfere too much with football and the World Series
)) However, there are several million US voters who are commited to neither party. And this is the constituency that determines who is elected Prez. What Romney needed to do when he selected his running mate was to appeal to these voters. Instead ... and it has most political commentators shaking their heads (I wonder how many have more than one head
) ... he chose someone who appeals to folks who would vote for him anyway.
And someone who, at the same time, will alienate the voters he needs to put him over the top.
I may be wrong, but I don't see anything that can stop Obama now. Hell, not even if Michelle posed nude for "Hot Chocolate" It will be close because, for too many yanks, Obama is still a nigg ... Oops, almost said it.
. But I don't see the swing voters supporting a ticket of far right and lunatic right.

Watching Sky News over here, we tend to see a bit of Fox News coverage of American politics (same owner, the 'humble' Rupert Murdoch). That gives us the impression that Obama has made a complete mess of the Presidency, and the only possible solution is for him to be ousted in November. The Tea Party have been presented as the solution to America's ills.
So it's somewhat surprising to see the Tea Party completely overlooked by the Republicans when they came to select a candidate, and it is surprising too (although refreshing also) to see them make such a complete and total mess of their selection of candidate and his running mate.
Once again, God Help America!
Don't be surprised if Fox "News" supports Romney/Ryan. Looks like Murdoch is happy with Mittens's choice.

Ya they don't spare the bucks on elections over the pond, its who has the biggest budget
Nice to see President Obama sending his congratulations to London on the success of the Olympic Games.

As a true statesman, it is what we've come to expect.
Mitt Romney's message of apology, admitting that he was a million miles wide of the mark in criticising London's ability to host the Games, seems to have got lost in the post.
It wouldn't do for someone hoping to be elected President to be shown to be so hopelessly wrong, would it!
The more we see of him, the more we are coming to realise what a complete joke the man is!

Yeah, but don't forget, plenty of God-fearin' WASPs daft enough to vote for him!
Reagan was a joke but still got elected.. big money makes a lot of difference in the US elections but things maybe changing.. in the past the Republicans proclaimed sense of freedom and democracy did not take into account a large section of people who did not vote..all that changed when Obama got elected.
Some stunning pics in that link, esp the one of Tower Bridge at dawn.
Got to agree susie, I liked the olympic rings with the moon in the centre ring
Turns out Mitt's buddy has had a go at the concept of our NHS in the past. Healthcare's only for those who can afford it in his world !

Much the same attitude Cameron and Osbourne have here..and that is what we should be concerned with.

No mainstream politico here would dare suggest dismantling the NHS altogether, as they would face a storm of criticism. Cameron and Osbourne want to privatise parts of it just as Brown and Blair did before them with their PFIs etc. Both are wrong.

It probably would have been a good idea for this clown Ryan to check out a few simple stats before he opened his gob. If he wishes to make a comparison of the US health care system with that of the UK, then where better to look than with his own CIA. Here is the page comparing relative life expectancy for the US with other countries. Look at the US figure, see where it is in the table, then check out the UK.

Eat chyte, Ryan.
Medical error is 3rd in the list of causes of death
Medical care is the 3rd leading cause of death in the U.S.
As well as that -

.. GM (frankenstein) food is commonly consumed

Why let the facts get in the way of political bigotry?
He believes that the kind of "socialised healthcare" we have in Britain jeopardises future tax cuts.
It is such a naive argument that you have to read it twice to believe that's what he's actually saying. What good are tax cuts if you are dead?
Universal health care is something we concluded was central to any civilised society over 60 years ago. It's unbelievable that anyone is still having the discussion. Cameron and Osborne aren't arguing against universal health care. They just have strange ways of seeing how it can be provided.
