Forget nukes the world's economy is facing a greater threat. Have you noticed every time a finance mess happens they are now happing faster and worst than the last one.

Aaah, but is it a Republican or Democrat bowel movement?

TBH I know that a good number of people are fed up with the US government whether it's blue or red, but I think a greater number of people will suddenly stop complaining when a Republican president gets into power. Curious indeed.

Well, we can't ask The Gipper now, can we?

Touché Funnily enough I was (out of curiosity) looking to see if the talks on START I began before or after the whole Contra affair and 'Reaganomics' but, all credit to the Gipper, it was very early in his presidency.
Honestly though, the sun is hot and politicians lie, no matter what colour they are, all this bi-partisan stuff is very silly in my opinion but some people will always rally to the flag when the bugle is blown. Heck, even Reagan made some impressive screw ups in his time, and yet he had the charisma (and the lack of internet forums) to keep his image relatively intact.
If Subsim had been around forty years ago, I dread to think the arguments that would have been had about Carter.

Oh I think there's been some catching up since...

To be fair on the fella, he's done a lot post-presidency, and while he may not be one of the greatest US presidents, he's certainly not one of the worst, not in my eyes anyway, although to be fair, it was (just) before my time.

Does it matter? Both are full of it.

Yes, I grow tired of blue and red. Last week I had to renew my license. They asked if I wanted to change my party affiliation. I asked they take out what is shown and leave it blank.

How could I not have remembered this

In the end of the 80'ies or the beginning of the 90'ies

The swedish news was all ear about a statement from Sovjet.

They have decided to remove som medium range missile from the baltic.

Remember our prime minister saying that it was a great victory for Nordic countries and the world.

What we wasn't been told, was that the russian had only replaced this missil with some new type that could reach longer and therefor could be moved back a few hundred kilometers...so

Do not always listen to the word of an politician.

I hear you, and it's amazing (and quite interesting) how many people across the world are feeling that way these days. I don't think there's a government in the world that is followed with that much enthusiasm any more, not unless it's at gun-point of course.

Does your state have open or closed primaries?

He keeps making non-issues BIG issues and blows it out of proportion just to cover up something....like the NSA Spying...

The thing about that...

I expected it.... It broke and I was like "You guys really didn't expect this?"


Obama is just over here "So....about those nuclear weapons....."

That's called bizness as usual.

As long as we the people continue to swallow it, they'll keep spooning it.

It's been a consistent project for this President to reduce the nuclear arsenal. Even since his time in the Senate.

Here endeth the factual interruption.
