Romney: the inevitable President.

[Guest]

In the last few weeks, Mitt Romney has manage to overcome several handicaps (the least of which is probably his own ridiculous first name) to emerge as the USA's next Chief Executive.

This is no small achievement, when you consider that all of America's media (with the exception of Fox news) is ranged against him; he seems to have successfully capitalised on the hunger America feels for strong, conservative leadership, after the vacciliating liberalism of President Obama and the illiterate conservatism of George W Bush.

Personally, I'm intrigued by his running-mate, Paul Ryan: the nearest thing to an Objectivist ever to come within a whisker of the White House

Of course, there are things to dread about a Romney Presidency: what I am dreading the most is the wailing drivel emanates from all liberal organs whenever a conservative is elected to any form of high office.

That sounds nasty. I'm glad none of my organs are liberal.

Well with luck your basic premise is mis-conceived

Over here Obama would slot naturally into the socially liberal bits of the Tory party.

Romney wouldn't even be on the ballot paper.

I wish this weren't so, but here's a summary of Republican views on rape:

So the Americans may get the President they deserve, but why does everyone else have to suffer?

I am totally opposed to Romney and the Republican party.

I reckon that Mandy's only started this thread to distract himself from his intense chagrin that Bryn Terfel has been doing a good job in the most recent Wagner Ring cycles at ROH

It seems as if the 'Rest of the World' feels the same way. Pity we don't get a vote ...

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

don't believe everything in the papers or on the tv news ...

I took this test.

Apparently I should vote for Jill Stein.

I am a whole 4% Republican!

Me too (and I would in fact certainly vote for her if I were a US citizen), apart from I seem only to be 1% Republican. Shame they don't tell me which 1% it is so I can have it surgically removed.

It would be interesting if Ms Stein were included in the survey french frank mentions, wouldn't it?

Over here, the current 'key' to the election is said to be the forthcoming choice made by Women Voters.

I wonder how many of the currently twenty-three million unemployed workers, qualify?

Enuf to upset a media-spun outcome? Who the hell knows...
