Who need anecdotal evidence when you have this?



I suppose it is better to have a handful of countries have a favorable view of the US that none at all, regardless of how irrelevant those countries are.

Perhaps you should actually look at your posts.  About half are PLUS.  France Germany and England show huge drops in this poll and yet they elect leaders who are more generally pro American.  How do you explain that?

Dude, please. Be objective about this for just once in your life. It's funny when Bush screws up, no doubt about it. But it's freaking comedy GOLD when Mr. Articulate doesn't just screw up, but has a bloody trainwreck live. It just goes on and on and on....

By plus I mean above 50%, not the change.

No, child, it means that about half (of a selected sample) are still positive ( I know you understand what above 50% means) and then there is the ugly issue that the three important negatives (England, France and Germany) actually VOTED more pro American candidates to their primary leadership positions than their oppsition.  Funny that.  Canada too.  Welly well well, what a conundrum.

This keeps getting bandied around like it means something.

Give an example.  Any example.  Please.

Don't strain yourself too hard though, because it really is a load of bullshit.

Mushmonkey.  First you ask for proof that President Bush has damaged the world's opinion of America.  Then, when you're shown proof of a change in opinion, you say the poll is invalid because it's an opinion poll.  Fascinating.  Your flawless logic is amazes me.

It's a poll of the people, not the leaders?  I am pretty sure that the French people don't elect Presidents based on their stance towards the U.S.  Just like I don't vote for my President based on his stance towards France.  Complicated, huh.

No, child.  You see, you're moving the goalposts so you can win your argument.  No one claimed that a majority of people in the world dislike the U.S., just that Bush damaged world opinion.  But, since you cant cope with empirical evidence supporting a claim you disagree with, instead you just change the argument to suit your position.  You are wrong.  Face it.

It's not indicative of a consensus, it's merely an anecdote from a student of diplomacy who has had a wide array of contacts with individuals from many different backgrounds on several continents. I'll leave it at that. However, the poll I posted before that clearly showed the US' waning popularity WAS indicative of a consensus. But I suppose that the unsubstantiated opinion of 40-something blowhard whose only experience with the outside world is the bile he reads on right-wing hate sites would command more credibility than statistics. Naturally.

so I'm not objective because I think your clip wasn't funny?

what's really funny is how hard you try and, yet, how flat you fall.

he fumbles over one point while being interrupted...part of the humor in
bush is the established pattern of idiocy.

America's debt problem is a "sign of leadership failure"

We have "reckless fiscal policies"

America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership.

My bet would be that if you were to interrupt Bush as those bitches did Obama, you'd find yourself on the next flight to Guantanamo.

1) Bush doesn't speak like this. At least, I've never come across anything from Bush anywhere close to as bad as this, and believe me, if there were anything out there even half that bad from Bush, it would have been posted in this forum by now. Dozens of times. Probably hundreds.


:nonono:

Phred, Phred, Phred....how do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you say things like this? What happened to the past eight years? Bush has stumbled over what he was saying, definitely dozens of times, and probably hundreds of times. Just search this forum for "bushism" for starters. Aren't you a mod of this forum?

Quote:
McCain's campaign advisors were doing their jobs by having McCain challenge Obama to some Town Hall style debates - Obama will stumble all over himself at such venues.


I am going to keep this little gem of a prediction, and pull it back out to show you when November comes. We'll see...

It's obvious that you are letting your hatred of Obama cloud your view. It's ok to not like the guy...but this - going through the trouble of posting - just to spew your own brand of egotism and attempt to make Obama seem "stupid" is rather silly. Give it up, while some of us still think you have something worthwhile to say.

I changed the quote above, just a bit, to show the... um, bias... of your statement.  We are all fairly guilty of posting the many humorous stumblings of various politicians... I don't think anybody is picking on Obama more, or less, than any other elected schmuck.

It is interesting to see the vigor with which people defend their pet politicians.  Zappa has experienced this first hand, having been on the receiving end, after bashing Ron Paul.
