  1. He isn't looking good.

    His voting record is good but he just isn't coming across as a winner
    to the voters

    When the vote rigging came up, and a patriot was needed to join the
    battle, he ran before the first shot was fired.

    And that bit about the Marching, Looting and Killing holiday lost him
    supporters by the tens of thousands.

    There are not a lot of Republicans (Almost all of whom are WHITE) who
    would not vote,in a secret ballot, to RESCIND the King Holiday. There
    are damn few Republicans who would vote against a man because he said
    something unflattering about the ersatz Reverend.

    But it would be hard to find any Republicans who would vote for a man
    because King is his hero. This is especially true in the vitally
    important forthcoming South Carolina primary.

    You can bet your sweet ass that the McCain people will make sure
    that every White voter in South Carolina is reminded that Senator
    McCain voted AGAINST the MLK holiday in the Senate.

    Do you get 20/20 where you are? They has a piece on what countries are
    happy, meaning basically united as a people. They make a good point, as
    simple as it might be. The same point used to be called our strength. They
    have always said diversity was our strength, but with so many agendas and
    cultures in America, politics is chaos. In their study, Denmark was called
    the happiest place on earth because 9 out of 10 people are native Danes and
    they all think alike, which means the government also looks after their
    interest. There is no corruption in government because they pay their
    leaders extremely well, which discourages them from becoming corrupt and
    accepting bribes and money from special interest. Since they already make
    millions of dollars as elected leaders, they have no reason to take bribes
    and actually look after following the will of the people.

    Our politician don't get paid well enough so they take bribes and cater to
    special interest. I think Clinton spent well beyond what he got paid just
    defending himself against lawsuits, there is a big incentive for politicians
    to take money from special interests like the drug companies, big oil
    companies and just about everything else for sale, lock stock and barrel. If
    they did that in England of Denmark, there would be a revolution by the
    people. While Danes pay high taxes, they get free health care, college, and
    just about everything else important as the essential basics of what should
    be provided, unlike America who instead socialized the Post Office and
    public schools. America just socialized the wrong things, and now special
    interest have total control, so elections mean nothing, no matter who gets
    elected. Independent candidates can't even get their foot in the door here,
    special interest would never allow it. But America diversity has too many
    people with different agendas and the politicians take advantage of that,
    like Bush telling everyone to go shopping and leave the government to us.

    Chaos of diversity allows them to promise all things to all people and then
    do absolutely nothing. It's no wonder in a country that celebrates
    corruption going all the way back to Mr. Smith goes to Washington. America
    seems to thrive on political scandals like glorified soap operas. I don't
    think Americans would start a revolt because they are not united, all have
    different views on social and political issues, and they are probably too
    lazy to march or protest because for one, they are well entertained with
    cheap electronic gadgets like Ipods and HDTV with Monday night football, and
    for two, they don't have time to even know the issues that well, always on
    the run stuffing a big Mac in their mouths while briefly looking at a
    billboard of George Bush telling everyone to go shopping, so is it any
    wonder that politicians have little incentive to shape up for once and start
    doing the will of the people?

    Heck, they don't even know what that is, and neither do we. This kind of
    chaos and complacency is a perfect breeding ground for special interest to
    get their way, especially with a classic stooge like Dubya running things.
    With a trillion dollar war, massive environment rollbacks and massive tax
    cuts for rich, while not spending a dime on schools, parks, roads and
    bridges, health care, and just about everything else that should really be
    in the public interest, you would still think Americans could find some
    common ground to revolt and protest, but if the good ole Gov can keep people
    struggling, hopeless and helpless, with no time to even become informed
    about the issues, they got us where they want us. Besides unlike France, if
    we protest here, they will kill us, or really crack down hard, so maybe it's
    better to watch Monday night football.

    You would think America would be the most unhappy place on earth with its
    patriot act, wars without end, credit card debts and the recent
    castastrophic fall of housing values and real estate market, but actually
    they say Italy is because of the mafia, and corruption. They say even the
    French aren't that happy either, but they sure do live well there, almost as
    good as the Danes if you can stomach the taxes. But if there is one thing
    you should of learned by now, is that things will never change. The powers
    that be with over 60 thousand special interest lobbyists working 24/7 to buy
    out our politicians lock stock and barrel, is that you would be much better
    to leave America, then stay here, if you can afford to do it. Then again, if
    you are one of the elites in America, America is the place for you!

    Maybe Davey should leave Germany for Denmark!

    The U.S. is the most violent society in the industrialized world, and
    probably the entire world as well. The U.S. has been following the get tough
    approach for decades, and we still spend more money on prisons, then we do
    on schools. Does the murder rate affect the happy meter? I would think so,
    but it's interesting to note teen sucide is twice as high in the US as it is
    in some 26 other industialized countries. While not mentioned here, I
    believe I read that somewhere recently.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage_suicide

    http://nitawriter.wordpress.com/2007/05/11/suicide-rates-of-the-world/

    Quoted:
    Can one can safely assume that countries with the lowest suicide rates have
    the greatest number of happy people?

    Not really.

    Of course, the dates of the suicide survey and the happiness survey differs
    by a few years, the happiness index was taken in 2006, the suicide survey a
    few years earlier. But I don't think this makes that much of a difference. I
    think that the suicide rate has nothing to do with the general level of
    happiness.

    DEFINITION: This statistic is compiled from responses to the survey
    question: "Taking all things together, would you say you are: very happy,
    quite happy, not very happy, or not at all happy?". The "Happiness (net)"
    statistic was obtained via the following formula: the percentage of people
    who rated themselves as either "quite happy" or "very happy" minus the
    percentage of people who rated themselves as either "not very happy" or "not
    at all happy".

    Group 1 countries (highest suicide rates) do have the fewest number of happy
    people. Only 2 percent of Russians are happy, and no one from Belarus or
    Ukraine is happy. About 10 per cent of Lithunians are happy. But countries
    from Group 2, which have a fairly high suicide rate, have a high percentage
    of happy people! Like Belgium (86 per cent), Finland (83), Switzerland (89),
    Austria (81), France (84) and Japan (72). What does this mean? I think it
    that it means that most people who commit suicide in these countries are
    those who buckle under socio-cultural and relationship problems.

    They are a small section of society.

    It is known that more than 80 per cent of those who commit suicide are
    those who suffer from mental illness, have an inability to cope. In other
    words, a certain section of the population that is prone to depression and
    mood disorders (always in a minority) falls prey to suicide.

    About countries in Group 3 (medium suicide rate), only China and India seem
    to fit. About half of the Chinese are happy and about 40 per cent of
    Indians. On the other hand an overwhelming number of people from countries
    such as Denmark (91 per cent), Sweden (91), Australia (90), Canada (75) and
    the United States (84) are happy, belying the suicide rate. Are more people
    happy in countries in Group 4, with its low suicide rates? Well, there was
    no data from the Muslim countries, but the majority of those in the other
    countries seem seem happy. Not a high number really - 68 percent of those in
    Spain, 64 per cent of those in Italy, and 59 percent of those in Brazil and
    Argentina. Obviously, these people may not consider themselves happy, but
    not many are depressed enough to feel like killing themselves. The U.K,
    which has a low suicide rate has a high number of happy people.

    Denmark: ranked 3rd
    US: ranked 13th

    Quite a lot, actually. Several times in the last few months here in
    the UK for starters. Most recently along with a much smaller story a
    couple of pages in with a black community leader explaining that he
    thinks it's entirely reasonable for the police to target high crime
    demographics.

    You really expect it to? Newspapers make money, lots of money, and
    they do it by printing whatever will get readers, not whatever might
    be good for society. Every country that has a genuine free press has
    lots of examples of media stirring up trouble.

    Good example from the UK: a few years ago the News of the World got
    its hands on a list of people convicted of paedophilia who'd served
    their time and gone back into the community. So they printed big
    'paedos near your kids' headlines, followed by a list of names and
    addresses. Well - the genuine paedos probably deserved what they got.
    Except they made one or two mistakes looking up the addresses of some
    people, and published the wrong John Smith's details. Public apologies
    don't go very far with replacing cars and windows (and then some of
    the retarded end of the readership decided that 'paediatrician' and
    'paedophile' sound similar and went after a doctor as well).

    Well, there would be more of those except that murder is so rampant in
    the U.S. that the gunmen are generally shot before they get a chance to
    perpetrate their crimes. It affects the suicide statistics too: why even
    bother to commit suicide when someone will kill you if you just hold on
    for 30 seconds? Thank goodness the government issued all us rich people
    bullet-proof, flame-proof, Al-Qaida-proof suits a few years back. Thank
    goodness also that there's a combination safe-house dry-cleaner opening

    Actually, newspapers are _not_ making a lot of money. They are cutting
    staff, depending more and more on wire services and press releases and less
    on individual reporters. They are cutting back on fulltime correspondents in
    places like Wash DC and international cities. Circulation is down almost
    across the board. You can see the desperation for revenue dollars by ads on
    front pages, fold outs, and where columns have been hacked up to place

    Historically, news media has performed a service of examining topics and

    What I like about newspapers, and their internet sites is the depth
    and detail they are able to bring to a subject. The idiot box and
    talking heads are useless, or pretty damned close, for anything but a
    headline service that lets you know if you want to go get more of the
    story.

    Responsible people are growing tired of the leftist leaning of most of the
    major newspapers in the USA these days and are staying away in droves. Of
    course the news media is presenting that as people being too stupid to read
    and that sort of thing. Anything to avoid blaming themselves for their own

    When you purposely report the most sordid take on everything that is
    stirring up trouble. For instance, most "racism" these days is more
    ignorance and misinterpretation than racism yet is front page news
    everywhere. I have no problem with a newspaper story that presents all sides
    including some that are unpopular. The problem is that they are stirring
    controversy to increase their income and since a large part of the major
    news media is now under the control of extreme Liberals, they are also
    attempting to cause change contrary to the will of the vast majority of the
    USA. As proof of that something like 85% of all reporters claim to be
    Liberals and when questioned the majority of those demonstrated that they
    were extremists as well. Same with school teachers who have been trying to
    convince their students for 4 decades that socialism is a good thing since
    they live under what is essentially a socialistically run system and believe
    it to be great.

    Hundreds of years of border skirmishes between

    Wrong. Older people, who are generally more conservative than younger people, are
    almost all who read newspapers, as younger people have migrated to other means of
    getting information, such the internets. As their readerships have gotten older,
    newspapers have tried to cater to that readership, knowing that they've likely lost
    forever the younger readers. Therefore, newspapers are, in general, much more
    conservative than they used to be.
