It's paid... why sweat the message. The Dems are equally as bad.

Herbal Essence makes you urinate?

Please don't lay the smackdown on me.


All ads are fake. It's not like a politician frequently stands around randomly in a field of grain with his wife, kids, and dog, but you see a great deal of that in political ads.

When will people realize that 1st-world farmers are evil leeches?

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the Republicans are doctoring photos of US soldiers and using them for their propaganda.

At least the Republicans were smart enough to use an image of an actual US soldier in their propaganda. Dems haven't quite reached that level of competence yet...

Then they are both wrong, the fact that someone else is doing something bad doesn't excuse it.

I'm no excusing it... just stating a fact.

Ok.

American politics is so partisan it seems really strange to me. It's like if your team (I say team 'cause it reminds me of sports) does something wrong it's not a foul but if the others do it is and people are vehement in defence of something in their party that they'd instantly condemn in the opposition.

From the outside both parties are so bad in so many areas I'd expect to hear more agreement from both sides when someone did something wrong.

In Britain at least most people aren't as extreme as that about politics, if someone does something bad you are more likely to get condemnation from all sides. (although not always)

Basically, what I'm saying is, I hear a lot of the extremes of Republican or Democrat hating but from the outside they are both right wing parties funded by big business, a lot of the politicians (especially in the senate or congress) could really be in either party and... well, there's little difference between them, they both suck.

Just at the moment the Republicans are a lot more successful with their spin/manipulation than the Democrats.

I have totally gone off my original point. But I do find that a really interesting cultural difference between the US and UK.

Well... Britain is, at the moment, pretty securely under one party. The conservatives haven't been a threat for a while now. Here, the two sides are very, very close - look at the last two elections (ok, don't, actually, avert thine eyes). The dead heat makes it all the more contentious and heated, I think. The rest may be the fact that our politics often gets religious, whereas you lot don't really seem to care about that silliness anymore...

I suppose you are not a fan of any movies supported by and person or group with a cause, right Sava?

[MikeH]

I dunno. It was really close under the last couple of Tory governments and the atmosphere wasn't really much different.

Not that our way is perfect or anything. We obviously have different problems with our system. I just find it an interesting difference.

and yes, it's handy that religion isn't an issue.

actually, I think Asher said Herbal Essences is for heteros

[Arrian]

Or married people. My wife uses Herbal Essences. I'm too lazy to buy my own shampoo if there is something already available. Thus, I use Herbal Essences.

Why am I now thinking of the Jeff Foxworthy bit about how gay guys and married guys have lots of similarities?
