All of Europe's electoral votes?

Looks like the campaign is over, then.

Well, I don't know. He seems to get a pretty good bounce from campaigning in Europe...

Well OC you poke fun but do you not acknowledge that International Relations is a topic of concern in this election?

Sorry for butting in here, but I can't help myself.

Of course International Relations is a big topic of concern.

We should let the Communist Chinese government decide the election for us. I mean, why not? They've been bankrolling us for so long now we owe it to them.

Well you joke but I certainly would not be surprised if the Chinese are spreading a little influence (money) around.

btw I suspect most gvt. leaders around the world would also prefer your guy ron Paul over McCain.

Because he would not practice "bully" diplomacy and pretty much let them handle their own internal affairs.

And we would not be maintaining military outposts around the world but bring our troops home to maintain our own defense.

Not so if you listen to the Empire builders, Sherm.

Dontchya know we need all those military outposts to protect everybody from the mad Russians and the militant Muslims and the manican Lilliputians?

btw... I'm not joking. I don't find it amusing that some people think we need to elect the individual who would be better for other nations. We need to elect the leader who will be best for America.

America first. I am an American. My children are American and my granddaughter is an American. Let the Brits worry about the British and the French worry about France and the Germans worry about Germany and so on.

All this talk about who is best for the other people of the world puts me in mind of a song by Three Dog Night. "Especially people who care about strangers, and care about evil and social injustice. Do you only care about the bleeding crowd? How about a needing friend?"

This American needs a friend.
