With adults in charge we will have accountability in place and other countries won't be able to run all over us -- perhaps that's why they dread it.

Can you give us an example of other countries running all over you, and what a Republican would have done differently to prevent it?gongoozler wrote:With adults in charge we will have accountability in place and other countries won't be able to run all over us -- perhaps that's why they dread it.
(Hint: For all the claims of Obama apologizing to other countries, the Republicans have never given an example. For all the outrage about Obama bowing to a foreign leader, they've never explained why it was OK when Republican did it.)

You really are light headed aren't ya. Of course any other country would want a liberal democrat because they know it's easier to get over on the US of A.

Uh huh. Bush II/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rove's invasion of Iraq was Osama Bin Ladin's greatest victory.Colonel Taylor wrote:You really are light headed aren't ya. Of course any other country would want a liberal democrat because they know it's easier to get over on the US of A.
Not that there's a "Liberal" running for President now. Obama is best described as a 1980s Republican.
He's even been described as Dick Cheney with less torture and more drones. His drone policy has killed vast numbers of innocent bystanders. The policy of "double taps" - following up a drone strike with a second strike once the emergency and rescue crews arrive - is as evil as anything Bush II/Cheney/Rumsfeld/Rove ever did.
Any any case, your post just parroted the usual claim. It did not give any examples.

Hint: An American ambassador to Canada makes Canada her OFB. Which in turn makes that ambassador Canada's OFB.DooHickey wrote:What do you care; you live in Canada. MYOFBrstrong wrote:The apocalyptic words, "Ambassador Palin."
Since Palin was a regular user of Canada's health care system, was probably (by Fox News / birther standards) born in Canada, her husband's family came from Canada, she negotiated a major pipeline deal with Canada and she listed being close to Canada as foreign policy credentials for her VP run.... where do you think she's likely to be posted?
Grow up.

Probably for the same reason many Americans do--the idea of Bush III.

Just think rstrong, you will have more flexibility if Obammy is elected. Wonder what he meant by that?

Re: Why Other Countries Dread a Republican Presidency
Sometimes those who live outside the country can see things far better than those who live inside the country. As a Canadian, I can look at what is happening in the political field objectively. Also, I have paid taxes here for the majority of my life so I consider what is happening on the political front my business.

Re: Why Other Countries Dread a Republican Presidency
Yeah, the righties love people who are "outside." They think if you've got no direct knowledge and haven't been there, you're supremely qualified to do it. It's McCrory's whole theme.

I don't know if you live in a big city type area or rural like Hendersonville and if property taxes are as different by providence as by state here.mama wrote:Sometimes those who live outside the country can see things far better than those who live inside the country.

Anyway what do property taxes run for 10 acres with a 2,000 sq. ft. home up in the great North Country anyway?
Also what is the average rate for income tax(fed. and State) on the middle class?

Re: Why Other Countries Dread a Republican Presidency
Been in USA since 1976. I don't own any property in Canada. No matter where a person lives there are always people complaining about something. I still have family in Canada and know that they have a higher standard of living than the ordinary person here in the USA.

Vred, Obama's flexibility comment involved more than missile defense issues. He already bailed on that one before the comment.
