Romney in Isreal - be bloody worried

[Arginald Valleywater]

The man who has promised to make attacking Iran one of his vote winners is visiting the most hawkish nation on earth. What will they discuss I wonder? The weather, the Olympics or sign off plans for a strike in early 2013? Obama may be useless but at least he isn't chasing armageddon.

Has he actually "promised to attack Iran"?

A couple of years back....nobody in the US complained because they love bombing the shit out of anyone who is not keen on their way of life.

I have to agree that Romney does come across as a one of those typical filthy-rich right-wing Republican cunts who think that they're on a mission from God.

For all of the massive anti-climax of the first Obama term (not all his fault - too many people expected him to come, in wave a magic wand and instantly change the world), I hope he gets back in because to me, Romney is cut from much the same cloth as George Dubya, and electing him would massive step backwards.

I think Romney was born with an even bigger silver spoon in his gob than George Dubya. Unfortunately he is also a puppet of the warmongering US arms industry who are desperate for another major war.

Here you can compare your income to that of Romneys!

" Unfortunately he is also a puppet of the warmongering US arms industry who are desperate for another major war."

What evidence do you have to support this view?

" I think Romney was born with an even bigger silver spoon in his gob than George Dubya"

He is twice as wealthy as all the US presidents from Nixon to Obama put together. Another reason why I guess he doesn't need to be anybody's puppet.

Who are the biggest backers of the Republican party? I'll take a guess at Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics and that fave of ex world leaders The Carlyle Group. It would be so interesting to see how the USA handled a civil war in Mexico? Would they be so keen to indiscrimately bomb anything that moves with 10% of the US population being of Hispanic, and therefore mostly Christian origin??

Nowt wrong with guessing, but if you are interested in something more concrete then....

If you look at the industry sector graph you will see the Finance/Insurance/Real Estate sector contributes far, far, far more than the Defence industry.

Of course anticipating the predictability of your thought processes, I'd guess that because warminger Bush was a rich Republican who in turn was a pal of warmonger Blair, you are now committed to being a life long supporter of the Republican party, so as to avoid ever besmirching warmonger Blair. So if and when Romney orders an attack on Iran, you'll be standing there with your little Stars & Stripes flag, singing, "Yankee Doodle", whilst thousands more die........so you can avoid calling Blair a murdering cunt!

The crazed one track mind of the political fanatic is indeed s fascinating, but sadly so humdrum, thing!

You make a post. I disagree with you and state why. You can't cope with people regularly questioning your views so you come out with replies that have no connection whatsoever with my views.

"One who purposely and deliberately starts an argument in a manner which attacks others on a forum without in any way listening to the arguments proposed by his or her peers. He will spark off such an argument via the use of attacks with no evidence or relevence to back them up as well as irrelevant arguments, which he uses to simply avoid addressing the essence of the issue. The troll will then totally ignore any statements to the contrary made by the person they attack. Any criticisms made of the troll's point of view, the troll typically ignores".

As Sam Slater correctly stated "For fuck's sake, sort yourself out Jim".
