Bibliogryphon 9,591 Posted September 18, 2012 Mitt Romney's chances to gain the Presidency surley has just died, after his quote that it's not his job to care for 47% of the American public. http://www.bbc.co.uk...canada-19631430 I think he was observing that 47% of the electorate pay no taxes so don't care about the potential for tax cuts. If I were a Republican surely I would be saying to Mitt Romney get some policies that will get you into that group because if you give up on them 6 weeks before polling day its like getting your excuses in early. It also sounds like sloppy use of statistics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I say this because he is always in this moment of which I describe to be "Mormon Mania" and it probably never stops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It also sounds like sloppy use of statistics. To us, he has no policies. To the people who can pay $50,000 a plate to hear him talk he only has policies to make this elite richer by actively out sourcing jobs away from Middle America and Joe Public. Know what?

Rotten Ali 600 Posted September 20, 2012 Nick Clegg's political career is just about to die... I hear he is due to sing an appology in a party political broadcast with the aid of an autotune machine.

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted September 20, 2012 Nick Clegg's political career is just about to die... I hear he is due to sing an appology in a party political broadcast with the aid of an autotune machine. Utter, utter ef'ing tw#t. (And I've voted Liberal in the past.) Let it be a lesson. Politics, it's too important to leave it to politicians. As some may have noticed, the Dutch had general elections last week.[1] The liberals won, with a few seats (41/150, +10) more in the Tweede Kamer than the labour party (38, +8). There's no way of knowing what kind of government we'll get, but courtship displays have been observed between those two. The good news is: the christian democratic (pron.: conservative) arseholes lost (13, -8), as did the fascists (15, -9), so things can only get better. To get back on topic: I saw former Dutch Prime Minister Wim Kok (b. 1938) on the box at a labour election party. He looked wrinkled and his hair's white now, but seemingly in good health.

I hear he is due to sing an appology in a party political broadcast with the aid of an autotune machine. Utter, utter ef'ing tw#t. (And I've voted Liberal in the past.) What has happened is that he made an apology over the tuition fees and somebody autotuned it into a song. He has given its approval for this video to be sold by iTunes as long as the money goes to charity. (Children's Hospital). What we don't know is how bad a conservative government without the Lib Dems might have been. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We did have 18 years of them you know 1997 seems a long time ago and I think a lot of people have forgot how bad it was. However I don't think they forgot enough for David Cameron to win an outright majority and now everything he does reminds the population of the UK how arrogant and out of touch his party are with the concerns of real people.

Rotten Ali 600 Posted September 29, 2012 http://news.sky.com/...r-cancer-battle labour MP Malcolm Wicks has died , I have no idea who he is . Never met him, but my MP at the time (Nick Palmer) was his pps during there time at the department of energy. In the round we had questions posed of how to move forward with aspects of UK energy policy. Most notably should we have new nuclear power stations, more gas or coal stations or more green power wind farms. My view was a yes to nuclear power but at a replacement number equal to half the number of plants in the past. Much more reliance on green power and a lessening of gas and coal power. Basically this view co-ensided with what Malcolm Wicks went with... Great minds, and all that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
