Hillary is the most powerful woman in American politics? Don’t make Nancy Pelosi come here and slap you around.

What kind of stupid cracker would write a thing like that?………Stupid Crackers……..

I have to say that I do care about repairing a few issues at home. But I could care one wit less about what our image abroad is. I’m not quite sure what the American obsession is with what other natiosn think, besides some sort of ingrained high school popularity need. Do any of you think that the citizens of any other country obsess about what we think of them? No, they do their own thing and pursue their own interests. We should behave no differently. If we can get along, fine, but if they don’t like some part of our culture or some of our policy choices I really don’t care. And I’d say that no matter who holds the White House. Again, they don’t care about our approval, why should we care about theirs?

J. C. Montgomery Jr.:

“Let us hope that the coming campaign will be issue-oriented rather than indulging in personalities. The health of our nation at home and the re[airing of our image abroad depend on this statesmanlike approach.”

I suppose a psychotic slacker with a feel for talking about issues but no solutions to them might appeal to you but deep rapture for us by Laplandic Moose herders and even more border jumpers from Mexico and Central American just isn’t my cup of tea.

If it weren’t for negative campaigning the truth would seldom come out.All you hear would be the sugar coating the poitican running gives you,not what they actualy did in the past.The more they try to discredit each other,the more factual information we get.

Well, RCJ, your comments have qualified you for an honorary degree from the Dick Cheney College of International Relations. Don’t care what other nations think, eh? Well, one nation’s opinion is leading them to resurrect the Cold War. The opinion of other countries is helping the dollar drop like a rock. Right now, Bush it trying to convince other countries to help us in Afghanistan - I’m sure he cares what they think. Try living in the real world instead of the John Wayne movie that creates your world view.

Yeah, Sage - we know, we know. The only international opinion out there is from Laplanders and illegal immigrants. What about the heads of France, Spain, Germany and the UK? What about business leaders from abroad? You spent so much time writing witty that the result is actually witless.

BOth of you have been victimized by Bush’s campaign to lower the expectations of the American public. I for one would like to see the US return to its position of influence on the world stage.

Where has your head been Robert M? Elections in Germany and France since the war with Iraq brought them closer to the US. Spain flew into a headless chicken frenzy when they had a terrorist bombing and went farther left and the UK remained our grumbling but trusted ally. While Pakistan is still fluttery, they did join the US in the war on terror providing an assault position for the war with Afghanistan, a position new to their Islamic roots.
