Subject: United States: Election Time
I'm glad I'm not american because I wouldn't want Romney, Obama or Paul.
Indeed :) For many Europeans they all are way to much rightwing.

Rick Santorum was the best of all candidates :). I quote:
In the Netherlands people wear a different bracelet if you’re elderly and the bracelet is ‘do not euthanize me. Because they have voluntary euthanasia in the Netherlands, but half the people who are euthanized every year, and it’s 10 percent of all deaths for the Netherlands, half of those people are euthanized involuntarily at hospitals because they are older and sick.

I couldn't believe that people who vote for these guys actually believe this kind of crap :D.
But anyway, all candidates are too right-wing for me as well.
If these kind of things are told about other democratic countries, I do understand why Americans are so very proud of their own country, by the way....

such a smartass and still reading incorrectly: he said 'was'.
Mea culpa.
I just thought that he thought Santorum was still a candidate. Sorry your highness.

On the other hand, if we were American we would be more rightwing too - probably :D

Audit the Fed just passed in the Chamber of Representatives.
Republicans: 238 yea, 1 nay
Democrats: 87 yea, 98 nay

Obama's claim that the Netherlands would 65.000 jobs if Romney would win if also strange, though. 65.000 is a lot, it would lower our unemployment percentage by 2%.
The Dutch economy is quite dependant on the US economy.
Clearly, the only way to express thoughts on a forum like this is through words, and if the words are correct I don't see how you could think my thoughts are false.
Having said that, I use the former republican candidate as an example of the right-wing fact-free politics used in the popularity contest called 'election'.
(To be quite clear: I can't say the democrat campaign is clean, and the democrats are right-wing for me as well)

I suspect we would hire people from abroad if those jobs come available. Our unemployment rate won't decrease by all that much (maybe 1%, but most unemployed people are hard to employ, whether there are jobs or not..)
