===========================

 RW>>> There's a lot of things that I think he's done wrong, but they don't
 RW>>> outweigh the good that he's done.

 BF>> That's one way of seeing it.

 RW> Yes, with an open mind. Otherwise, you end up looking stupid, like many
 RW> here have already.

  RW>>> That's how it works here, so it MUST be a democracy. In reality, it's a
 RW>>> democratic republic.

 BF>> As in Domenican Republic, the Czech Republic, Republic Indonesia and
 BF>> Republic of China?
 BF>> Nice bunch.

 RW> Indonesia used to be a nice place, but it isn't anymore (according to a
 RW> friend of mine who grew up there)

Oh, so now you come up with hearsay.

 RW> Dunno about the Czech Republic.

I've been there but didn't got involved in politics. Never the less a nice
place.

 RW> The Republic of China is the mainland and it's not very nice.

Oh, no hearsay so you have been in China.
My piont is that you talk abot things you haven't a clue about and your open
mind isn't as open as you claimed above.

 RW>>> The losing members don't get to vote, while the majority does which all
 RW>>> depends on the popular votes by the people.

 BF>> A strange system.

 RW> Best in the world.

Of course, it's American.

 BF>> That goes for the PM as well. If I don't want him to be the PM I can
 BF>> strike him out and place my candidate on top.

 RW> I see the difference. We get to choose between several for POTUS or any
 RW> other elected office.

Wasn't it you who didn't get to vote the POTUS? That was done by others.

 BF>> That's not really how it works here either and I have a personal
 BF>> experience (not me though) of it.

 RW> I milked the system once, back in 1970. I drew unemployment for a year
 RW> with two extensions and played on the beach or traveled up and down the
 RW> coast of California, site-seeing  for the entire time.

So back then it was legal to do so but those who does it now are left wing
whacos.....please explain.

 BF>> If you don't work you're not getting anything either and if you lose your
 BF>> job you only have unemployment compensation for a year.

 RW> We have unemployment also, but many people work that into welfare or
 RW> disability payments too.

So they can play on the beach and travel up and down the coast of California?

 BF>> Leaving no papertrail.....so it can't be checked later.... *I* think so.

 RW> That happens only in some places, like Iowa or Nebraska.

Never the less it did happend in the best democratic country in the world.

 RW> In California,
 RW> they tried to use electronic devices to count the votes, but they were
 RW> declared illegal by, believe it or not, the state's elected legislature.
 RW> It's also a policy here in Texas to use paper ballots.

I rest my case.

 BF>> Welcom to the club. That's what we have said from the beginning.

 RW> Nahhh, you've been telling us that GWB lied to the world about WMAs, when
 RW> in reality he was misled to believe they existed, by the world's
 RW> intellgence angencys. Some in urope, some in the middle East, etc..

Why didn't he listen to his own, CIA? Because it didn't suit his agenda so he
had
to lie.

 RW> He's even stated publically that he was mis-informed,

What else could he have done?

 RW> but taking out Saddam Hussein was the right thing to do...

Why, what had he to do with it?

 RW> One can only act upon the knowledge one has.

Just as you above where you said that China isn't a nice place?

 RW> I'm sure that he wished he didn't decide to stay in Iraq for as
 RW> long as we have,

Never the less he did.

 RW> but he committed himself to follow through. As you can
 RW> see by world events, we aren't the ones who are suffering terrorists acts
 RW> - because GWB walked softly and carried that big stick he inherited from a
 RW> former POTUS.

Like father like son.

 BF>>>> If you say that the loudest in USA are the wackos it must be like that
 BF>>>> here in Fido as well, don't you think?

 RW>>> Are you feeling guilty?

 BF>> Ehhh.....I'm not an American.

 RW> None the less, you've been saying things that should make you feel guilty.

And you haven't?
