Dear American Friends...

[pyat]

Please explain:

"We see America as the greatest force for good in this world," Palin said at a fund-raising event in Colorado, adding, "Our opponent though, is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect that he's palling around with terrorists..."

No, seriously. What is going on down there? Have you all gone mad, or something?

Mind you, it makes for interesting headlines. The big contentious issue in the election up here is whether or not carbon tax is a good idea. The incumbent, Prime Minister Headcheese, is accusing his front-running rival (Milquetoast Q. Egghead of the Liberal Party) of "wanting a recession." His rival was described by Canadian media outlets as "enraged."

"It happens that I think his right-wing policies that he's proposing for our economy will hurt people not because he wants that," said Dion, "but because he has the bad policies for the country, the bad ideology that he wants to import in Canada, solutions that did not work for the economy around the world."

Easy there, tiger! I can practically feel the anger pouring from the text!

Don't look at me. Most sane Americans don't want that psycho in charge.

*nods* I know - I think 2/3 of my FL is from the US, and there is little love for the Republicans in general, with one or two fairly thoughtful exceptions.

Then why the 'have you all?' No. We have not ALL gone mad. Just the ones who were already barking lunatics, and every country has those.

Just a general expression of frustration. Sorry about that, I'll phrase myself more carefully. :)

I'd appreciate it... because a whole lot of us are frustrated too. ;-) And being lumped in with Palin supporters is enough to make most sane people see... well, blue!
