Paul Johnson: Quite simply, Kerry must be stopped

Actually it works quite well, when combined with accurately and completely reported facts. Perhaps if either of you tried it you would understand.

our outrageous election

Um, I'm not asking you this question which you've already minconstrued, McGentrix.

Perhaps you should start another thread to address this specific issue of outrageous elections... :wink:

McTag:

What IS the general mood over there regarding our outrageous election here? Is there a general fear that Bush will get another 4 years? Do they see Kerry as viable enough if he wins, or just another politician coming roughly from the same mold as Bush?

What are their views on liberal progressives in our country (me being one of them) vs. the neoconservative movement?

General view is, gloom and frankly disbelief that Bush still has such a hold over his supporters despite current events and evidence that he is incompetent, insular, dim and dangerous.

The jury is out on Kerry, an unknown quantity. But his election would bring great rejoicing as would that of any candidate who is not Bush.

The best view of British opinion is seen in The Guardian website, which has huge coverage.

And yet Paul Johnson -- whose piece is the opening for this thread and provided its title -- is a fairly well-known British Historian. Is his viewpoint shared by many there?

Are you joking? What in god's name are you reading? If you want to answer your own question about what Brits are thinking about the madness presently masquerading as American politics, here's three links for you.

If you wish to know what others in the world are thinking, try the links down the left side of the following...

ps...there is no country...NO COUNTRY...where the citizens approve of this present American administration except Israel.

This tendency of Bush supporters to ignore dissonant information extends to their perceptions of world public opinion. Despite an abundance of evidence that world public opinion has opposed the US going to war with Iraq, only 31% of Bush supporters are aware that this is the case, and only 9% are aware that Kerry is a more popular candidate than Bush in world public opinion.

Stupidity and denial run hand in hand it would seem.
