Democrats Win Washington State

[Brino]

Well, it's been a hard year for Democrats and Liberals alike but at least we have this one victory to look to for inspiration.

I think that the election was flawed. I am on Rossi's side. I remember how the Democrats and Liberals said that the presidential election was flawed. Maybe should we say the same. Ranger was right when he said "when a democrat loses it is because of fraud and intimidation".

Yeah I figured you'd say that but I guess it's ok since us liberals said the same thing about the Presidential Election.

It is not a victory, it is a flawed vote. Law of the majority this is in what I believe.Majority of the decisions are voted by Republicans not by Democrats, end of discussion.I don't know how Canada is managed but it is better to be in a country run by conservatives than by democrats.Does Canada have an army? Do Chretien and other liberal parties are something good for Canada? NO
I have seen what La Gauche and La Droite inFrance. Both have done during 20 years very shitty things and they didn't resolved the unemployment problem.

lol.. georges i dunno what ur saying about canada but it doesn't sound good. canada, as well as the other 4 nations to be selected by the U.N as th best places in the world to live, all have liberal leaders, and very insignificant armies.

Tell me which useful things have Liberals done for Canada?
To be honest I don't care what the U.N can say, the U.N. is not a so reliable organization. Just because a conservative is elected in the U.S. so many other countries are bashing the U.S. But who freed a lot of countries dyuring WW2? The US alongwith UK, Canada and Australia.
No dirtydawg, you are wrong on all the line. The healthcare canadian sytem is in deficit and I don't think that the Canadian economy is doing that well.
Many countries envy the US.There is only one superpower in the world its name is U.S.A. and you can't deny it.

I think your better talkin about just the american and french politicians... you dont seems to know a lot about canada's politics... Chretien left power last year, Paul Martin his our prime minister now... and i dont like him very much either...

i agree with ur point about georges... anyways, america may be a superpower, because the country as a whole is extremely powerful. a 300 billion dollar military budget will do that. however, take a walk down the streets in virginia and pennsylvania and im surei n many other parts of the country... it's just boarded up buildings and falling apart homes everywhere u look..... record amounts of people are being taken off of unemployment insurance, because they've been on it tooo long. there are parts of america that are fine, and the welathy people are probably getting wealthier still, but there is a LOT wrong with the country. Just because u've got a big mnilitary doesn't mean u live ina good place

If the U.N.'s numbers are not reliable; what numbers do you have to prove otherwise?
Also, for the record, the U.S. helped free the world in WW2 under a democratic president (F.D.R.), not republican.
As for the Canadian health care system being in debt. Well, the Federal government is still running a big surplus (something the Bush administration cannot seem to do - even taking into account the war in Iraq). Also, it is the provinces that actually finance the health care system (with help from the feds) and 5 of the 10 Canadian provinces expect to balance their budgets this (2005 - Happy New Year everyone) year. And at least Canada HAS a health care system. The U.S. does not and they still can't balance the books. Though it was balanced under Clinton.
And on the Canadian economy. Well, according to Statistics Canada; the Dow Jones went up 6.6% this year. And the S&P/TSX (Canada's Dow Jones) went up 14.9%. And the value of the U.S. dollar has plummeted against the Canadian dollar. And the Consumer Price Index in Canada is running 1.1% less then the 'States (2.4 vs. 3.5). So even though our major stock market more then doubled the U.S.'s, the Canuck inflation rate is still over 1/3 lower.

it is better to be in a country run by conservatives than by democrats

If Conservatives ran the country unopposed then a lot of very popular institutions wouldn't exist today i.e. Social Security, Medicare, etc. Being single minded is not better than having various different views as to how to improve our country.

Improving the country with someone like Kerry or Hillary? It will only go worse.
Like also making the aw ban wasn't that single minded?
It is ok to have views but it is better to have rationall, forward planned and accurate way of taking decision in difficult times.

Hillary Clinton in 2008!! We need a woman and a Democrat as American President!!!

Uh oh! Georges will hit me with -12 rep points for this one!!! He's my buddy, though, so I know he will not "slap the greed out of me" for having a differing opinion!!! lol :hatsoff:

 

[georges]

omg lol :1orglaugh :laugh: wahhahaa that thread is now hilarious. You made me laugh so much with this posts that I can't stop laughing now.
No I don't slap the greed of people for having a different opinion and i never do that.
Thanks for the laugh in every case :thumbsup:

 

[member2686]

It's good that people can have different opinions and not be assholes towards each other. That's what makes this board great!!! :nanner: :hatsoff:

And that's what the Iraq War was? We didn't do any of that with Iraq and none of those words describe Bush. :2 cents:

Iraq was necessary because there are some decisions that need to be taken immediately and that can't be planned.
And none words of these describe Clinton and Kerry.
Reagan was a very planned person.He is probably one of my favorite us presidents and a republican one.

I disagree but I'm not going to argue with you because I learned a long time ago that it's useless.
