Potential global loss to foreign powers.

As we know, most of the major banking systems, and countries, are falling like dominos right now, except for a few such as China and Russia and a couple others, whom still have a huge surplus. The problem is whole banking companies are getting cheaper and cheaper and being sold at losses to other more stable banks.

"I take the train every day, I must be qualified to be an engineer"

Biden's debate line. Saying that she has foreign policy experience because on a clear day from Cape Prince of Wales you can see an uninhabited Russian island is ridiculous. Has she ever even been out to Wales, Alaska on the Seward Peninsula.

Palin Ignorant of Circumstances Surrounding Georgia-Russia Conflict

Though initial reports seem to focus on Palin's ignorance of the "Bush Doctrine," no one seems to be mentioning an even larger gaffe: her blithe assertion, repeated to a skeptical Charles Gibson, that Russia's recent action in Georgia was "unprovoked." Even those experts who do not believe Russia's actions were *justified* recognize that Tbilisi in some respects unwisely "provoked" Moscow by usin

Seriously, when did Sarah Palin ever negotiate with Russia or Canada?!

Even Mitt Romney didnt claim that being from Michigan meant he had foreign policy experience because he was so close to Canada, and that douche-bag would say and do anything to get elected.

Dangerous Politics

This is just an idea but I feel that we Obamaians have allowed the other side to spin Barack's trip to Europe as some kind of... well something else. I believe that we could be taking a stronger position regarding the true danger we are in as a nation if we don't elect someone who the other world powers are encouraged to work with. China buying Iraq's oil.

John McCain "Nations don't invade other Nations"

Doesn't this seem just a little hypocritical coming from someone who voted to authorize the war in Iraq?
