Skyrad 0 #1 January 9, 2008 I'm SOOOOOO SICK of hearing about the bloody American elections. They were banging on about which multi-millionaire corrupt waste of space was ahead in whichever hick county it was and underneath the report was telling me about the REAL news. WTF can't the Yanks just bloody well get on with it and let us know which berk they chose after the elections like the rest of the world do?When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

Skyrad 0 #3 January 9, 2008 Avoiding CNN! Thing is we tend to hear all about the soundbites, CHANGECHANGECHANGECHANGECHANGECHANGECHANGECHANGECHANGECHANGECHANGECHANGECHANGE... Why is it that all we hear is them slagging each other off and spouting soundbites where are their policies? Also I can't get my head around what exactly they are doing, I mean why don't the democrates and the Republican parties just vote all at once or at their central office to nominate a candidate and then vote for who they want as president? Whats going on I just don't get it. Maybe if I did I'd find it more interesting. I also don't understand that people get so passionate about a sleezeball polititian that they are willing to chuck their jobs in some cases to work for the candidates for FREE in some cases and follow them all over the bloody big country. Its weird.When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

ZeG 0 #6 January 9, 2008 As a foreigner in the US I was a little bit unfamiliar with the time schedule of their elections. So after all the ruckus in the media about the elections I read up a bit about it and my reaction was.... WTF the actual real elections are in nearly a Year from now? This circus will go on for a YEAR???? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rehmwa 2 #7 January 9, 2008 Quote This circus will go on for a YEAR???? This "Circus" goes on for 4 years. It also restarts every 4 years.

wmw999 2,644 #10 January 9, 2008 It would be more fun if jello were involved in that fight. Robert Kennedy announced his candidacy for president in June 1968. We only had a few months of this in those days. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelpdiver 2 #23 January 9, 2008 So what do you want us to do exactly? It's your media that chooses to follow our elections. Or if you're watching CNN, your choice to watch a US news channel. With the states all leapfrogging each other, the election cycle will basically be over by March and then be quiet until the conventions in the summer, and then the election will restart in earnest by September. Sorry, we're not going to adopt the parliamentary approach where the legislative elections also settle the executive side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why is it that all we hear is them slagging each other off and spouting soundbites where are their policies? We, who are influenced by the the technological age, have been reduced to soundbites. We see it in the news all the time. One reporter comes up with a catchphrase, and the next thing you know, every single reporter is using it. It's as if no one really wants to think for themselves. QuoteAlso I can't get my head around what exactly they are doing, I mean why don't the democrates and the Republican parties just vote all at once or at their central office to nominate a candidate and then vote for who they want as president? Whats going on I just don't get it. Maybe if I did I'd find it more interesting.It is supposed to be a govt. of, for,and by the people. Most of the time, after a politician is elected, they start doing things the way they want to. They no longer truly represent the people who put them into office. Can you imagine the corruption and in fighting if politicians were responsible to pick their successors? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
