Bush bashes Tory leader!

[Imran Siddiqui]

I think I've adequately shown how full of **** you really are, so go ahead and talk with Berz and NYE... perhaps they can unearth more of the **** you are made up of.

[Drake Tungsten]

OK, Imran, keep up the BAMs.

Thanks for obeying me.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Only you wouldn't realize how badly you've been beaten and call them BAM's .

That's ok... keep thinking this was a 'clever' move instead of the ****up it was

[notyoueither]

Put it this way, Drake.

Should Conservative parties from Canada or Britain not distance themselves from the naked emperor in the sands of Iraq, you will be guaranteed of Liberal/Labour governments in these countries for the next decade or so.

Whether Conservatives are stupid enough to go along with Bush in everything that has gone on is a litmus test for whether they should be given a sniff of power.

Conservatives are not very fussed about an invite from Mr. Bush. It is an invite from the Queen (or GG) that is at issue.

[Kuciwalker]

There's nothing wrong with a true BAM, Drake.

[KrazyHorse]

Iwonder if Drake realises that this will only serve to increase the Tory support in the polls?

I think it's really brilliant that Bush would want to be seen by the British public (who alread think that Blair is Bush's assmonkey) as dictating what constitutes acceptable political discourse in their country.



I also think the entire Bush administration thinks that if they don't listen to criticism then it means that they're doing a great job. Either that or they really do burst into tears when somebody tells them they're wrong...

[Imran Siddiqui]

you will be guaranteed of Liberal/Labour governments in these countries for the next decade or so.

And after Blair leaves, the next Labor head will probably be less pro-Bush, seeing as how Blair needed Conservative votes to get Britain to go to Iraq (of course that was before the whole WMD doesn't exist thing came out).

[Kuciwalker]

Maybe it's a secret plan to get the conservatives to overthrow those evil terrorist-loving liberals! Like Blair!

Oh, wait...

I agree to a certain extent (on the attitude of the electorate in Canada and the UK), but I disagree that the Conservatives are going to get a sniff at power because of this, in the UK at least. I don't see Howard becoming PM anytime soon. If he does become PM because of this, then more power to him. If he doesn't, however, the Tories are going to have his head soon enough for destroying relations with the Republicans for no discernable gain.

See above.

[KrazyHorse]

Why would the Tories care about their relationship with the republicans? They're not the ones who get to pick who's the new PM.

You have a rather chauvinistic view of how politics in other countries works...

[KrazyHorse]

I really do hope that Bush wins another term at this point. Watching US foreign policy, power and prestige self-destruct like it has been does me a world of good.

Tory leaders running to New York to kiss Republican ass seems to back up my "chauvinistic" view...

pffft

The voters the Tories need to sway would never vote for the Republicans if living in the US, and are very uncomfortable with Bush. The Tories will let the Republicans hang if it'll get them votes, and it will.

[KrazyHorse]

Maybe Bush'll invade Iran if he manages to weasel another mandate from the American people. That ought to be worth a few chuckles.

[Drake Tungsten]

What are the Tories going to do foreign policy-wise if they gain power at the expense of gaining the ire of the US administration? Are they going to completely reverse course and embrace Europe? Or are they just going to sit back and do nothing until Labor comes back in to remove them?
