A textbook definition of cowardice

Because he was a Democrat, obviously.

Sounds like Quebec politics. You vote for the guy you think is the LEAST dishonest.

Why just Quebec politics?

 

[Rich]

Thank God for the 2 term limit.

Or George Washington.

What's Washington got to do with it?

Holy monkey!?$#?@$?

No not European or "very human", mainly American - ..I'm truly shocked and in awe of the deep deep level of denial here and I can't go on...okay, I'm ready!?#?$!

You're still ruled by an old man with a history of megalomania and global domination. Which slab of rock is only 230n yrs old, by the way? - This old man is on his way out (good riddence) in about five weeks! Then, we all pick the next lesser of two evils! 230 years old since Europeans mass immigrated over here to create what you hate... In total, about 4.5billion years old like the rest of the rock, about the same age as your ideas!^&#$!

Yes and Americans all but wiped them out: Oh my God...so "Americans" was a race of people or something? Sorry, Rich, 2+2 does not equal 5, not matter what you've been taught...

Yes but Europe woke up to the inhumanity of slavery and brought and end to it two centuries earlier than you, in fact the reason you demanded independance was to continue the practice. - Again, history decided this for us all a long time ago with the kindom of Spain and Cristo Columbus...the fact that it lasted any time period was that "human" nature thing that you deny...Any race of people will exploit whatever they can as long as they can, and have!

When do you intend to start "working together"? - We can start as soon as you realize that 2+2 never equals 5 or anything else you want to throw a blanket over and come to the same conclusion as most everyone else, American, French, German, Japanese, whomever,...probably even Martian...FOUR my good man!

That's it MONEY, that's what America's about and maybe not so much rain

- Our fair share of rain and money, you bet. It doesn't solve everything but you can buy your own kind of misery, which by all indications, you would, but peace man...you're entitled and it's people like you that drive the force that many people live by because we're all glad you have no power to change it!

Sorry Bri, I always thought you came from Liverpool

Just thinking of the Champions League final and the F A Cup final, as Manure and Plymouth weren't in them perhaps you took no notice.

George Washington stated as a guide line that presidents should not serve more than 2 terms.

 

[ColinEssex]

GML - I find it amazing that in several threads you seem to blame the current situation on "the past" -

230 years old since Europeans mass immigrated over here to create what you hate...

All that shows (if its true) is that in 230 years, Americans have not changed anything and insist that the current faults (created by themselves) can be blamed on someone else.

Actually, that seems to fit with GWB's style of getting others to fight your wars for you - like arming the Taliban against the Ruskies and arming Israel to fight Palestinians, that way you don't get the blame for it.

No Bri, I think we all are.

Thank you, I was beginning to wonder if senility, or worse the drink, was getting to me.

I think GML's username explains it quite well - "world champ"? that'll be the same world as in "world series" no doubt

Only by Franklin Roosevelt during WWII, after that it became law.

Although a couple of others tried (and failed) to get a third term.

IMO I believe it is one of the best laws in the US. It does safeguard against getting a manic for too long, or more importantly getting a dictatorship.

But the damage was done after just one year and isn't it odd that Americans don't trust their politicians and have to limit their term of office?

 

[Rich]

Why is LBJ so "nondescript" to you while GWB is so monstrous?

Far be it for me to defend LBJ, but it could be argued that he was drawn further into a war that had already started.
Bush on the other hand wanted a war in Iraq and was so obsessed with it that he totally ignored the warnings from Europe that an attack on American soil was imminent.

 

[Matty]

So if LBJ was drawn further into a war that was already started, why is the person that first escelated the war (JFK) seen by Colin as "really good?"

Cause he was murdered?
