What's "close" about being on the same board as another person? What's "terroristic" about a guy who hasn't been involved in terrorism of any kind for over thirty years? If "once a terrorist, always a terrorist", does the same go for certain past Israeli prime ministers?
I'd like to point out that Hitler's regime was _very_ stable. Instead, I'll just say that multi-party systems which are easily toppled seem to be a much better bet. Ahem.
That's true too, and a real concern. Funny though, I ran across an article in one of those awful Women's fashion magazines last night at a friend's house, and it had an article on some 90-something year old lady who looked like she was 70 at most. Her name? Roberta McCain - his mom. 96 and still trucking. That's a good sign. Course, his dad only made it to 70. Eep.
Hail Eris!
Also, considering that 90% or more of his votes in the Senate were in favour of Bush/GOP policies, since 2001, calling him "moderate" is possibly a tad deceptive.
But he is (as Republicans go) - if there were a D next to his name on the Ballot he wouldn't have picked her. But he needed somebody to speak to his party's loonies, and she's it.
It's never fun to watch a good candidate bow to electoral reality. The good news is if he does win the election, you can expect him to veer away from the far right.
Hail Eris!
Possibly, but only if he lives long enough to make it feasible. He could easily drop dead right after the election...

Hail Eris! ...And your problem with anti-capitalism is what, exactly? Capitalism is a humongous FAIL, worldwide.

I wasn't aware the US had ever even had a prime minister! Colour me stunned...

"The media" does not own the US presidency; the _corporations_ own them both.

Hail Eris!
That's true. They don't unabashedly support the Republican party, do they?

Soo startrek was right then, all advance cultures speak English and NAZI ideologies dominate the universe ?!?!?
Hail Eris!
No. Watch out for Daleks.
Hail Eris!
I really get why you choose to be anonymous.
Hail Eris!
There's always a need to be cynical. Good for a laugh, at least.
Hail Eris!
Depends. How do you feel about the USA PATRIOT Act?

s/whale/quail -- I'm fairly sure of this, after an additional ten or fifteen checks...

Well, technically, they are.

We are sorry, you have reached an imaginary number. Please rotate your phone ninety degrees and try again.
Hail Eris!
Yeah, it's a great idea. Everyone should know what dying people are thinking.
