Down the Tubes with Dubya

[smallmovesal]

This "Who's Who of the G8 from the Toronto Star reads like a "Tale of the Tape" from a Major Boxing Match.

These 8 countries represent the top economies in the world, and their GDP and populations are only a fraction of what W leads in the US. All of their economies would crumble if the US did not support them, and they also enjoy living under the US defense umbrella, especially countries like Canada who have no real defense budget to worry about so they can have major social programs. W will look them in the eye, tell them what he expects, and they will do their best to comply without looking like total retards to the home folks. Period.

i agree to an extent that canada is sometimes like a retarded echo.... i don't claim to like it.

well, i recall that when we do differ from american interests, such as with the farm crisis in the prairies... the US will change everything to be in their favour. it's too bad if they make policies that end up not in their favour.... but to make one to tip the scale back is wrong imo. i'd rather see lives considered, not countries first. screw the policy then and come up with something mutually beneficial.

BTW this defense shield ttlpkg speaks of didn't do shit on sept 11th, nor will it do shit when terrorists attack again. and in afghanastan we basically used the military that bush inherited from slick willie, a rapid deployable, quick hitting military. so dubya, in his jibber jabber form of language, should thank "Clit"on.

Yawn. If you're so damn smart Strong Island, let's see some of the economic theory lessons you've been threatening to mete out to musclebrains. Otherwise we might think you were just an ignorant wanker who can't be bothered to justify or explain his views other than to make ad hominem attacks...

You'd have been mincemeat at my college's debate society. Or any college's debate society for that matter. Either put up, or shut up.

yawn....Relax William Wallace..don't get so upset. You want me to teach you Economics 101 in the next 5 minutes...Or maybe you can go back to the University of Dunkirk (real school??) and take some Economics and Finance classes. Instead of taking debate and stone throwing classes.

If you haven't realize we are all just busting each others balls and NOBODY is going to be influenced.

Dems and Republicans both spin everything...you just have to try to be as objective as possible.

Do you really believe the the US would be better if Gore was prez??

That's cuz we're nice, and besides, we like our Canadian neighbors.

You are an idiot. I will not go into it because you obviously cannot comprehend...but get some help.

Strong Island - this is called an ad hominem argument;
when you can't win the argument, then attack the opponent's character.
We see it often enough around here to not be swayed by it.
It hurts your reputation more than it hurts your oponent.

My views on Bush are already well known, so I won't rehash them here.
I just have one hope from the current revisit to "trickle down economics":
The last time we tried it, Regan ran up a huge deficit, which created horrible inflation, but also inflated the value of all real estate, and made homeowners very valuable on paper.
I missed out on that round of wealth creation.
This time around I stand to ride the wave to wealth thru inflated housing prices.
If only I still have a job to make the mortgage.
If any of you are both Bush supporters and a renter, get ready to be shafted by the round of inflation that surely follows deficit spending.

I am still lost..maybe I'm just distracted by your avatar...

Oh, you mean we didn't have Green Berets and AC-130 Gunships before Bill Clinton?
