Thank fcuk for that!

Does a "moral victory" count as a win?

GTTHUH:

The number of shock results last night, gives the league a refreshing look.

Getting two tickets for the UEFA Cup final - just need Fiorentina to do the business now.

Britain to be world leader in nuclear energy expansionism: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/m...ml=/news/2008/03/27/wsarko127.xml

That's great news. Like Newt Gingrich said in his book 'A Contract with Earth', if the US had developed nuclear energy for electrcity production at the same rate as France, it would this year emit 2,200 million tons less carbon (15% better than Kyoto). Unfortunately, the Three Mile Island accident in the US (which killed, injured and irradiated nobody) and a Left Wing piece of propaganda called 'The China Syndrome', led to fear, hysteria and fundamental falsehoods.

John McCain is the only presidential candidate to explicitly endorse nuclear power and, as such, I will vote McCain. The environment and energy policy is key to most of our problems and whoever gets that right gets the presidency. The Dems are totally clueless.

Oh my gosh, you know what you are talking aobut

Voting McCain yourself, Duncan?

I'm not generally of Republican persuasion at all. Granted, I'm a Tory in the UK but in the US I'm generally a Democrat because I disagree completely with Republicans on many things. For example, I'm an atheist (and anti-theist), I believe evolution is a fact, I believe man is responsible for global climate change and I believe big government should stay out of bedrooms and lay off our bodies.

But since the environment and energy policy is dear to me (and since McCain has a scientifically superior position to the two Dems and also to Al Gore), it's McCain all the way. There are several other things he gets completely right (and in total opposition to Bush) too. Sure enough, we all wish he was 10 years younger, but he has the best mind and I'd like to see a one-term McCain presidency followed by a continuation of McCainism with some improvements.

would love to see Fiorentina in the final - undfortunately ive BM backed to win it so will be cheering Toni on...they haven't drawn the semis yet have they? would be good to see them both in the final

Yes, the winner of the Fiorentina game will play the winner of the Rangers game in the semi, so a Bayern-Fiorentina final is still possible.

well i just lost 3-1 to fiorentina in the euro cup final on football manager 08 as it happens! (although i'm crystal palace manager not Bayern Munich)...

Mawang-- we might differ on a lot of ideas- I don;t believe in mad-made Global warming and am a Christian, but I do believe McCain's policy postions for the most part are far superior to his two would be phonies, erm, opponents.

Why do a lot of people in the Republican party seem to dislike McCain? Just a question.

Yes, McCain was against tax cuts and torture before he was for them. There's your "maverick".

Because he

* believes in evolution (many Republicans believe the cosmos to be a celestial, stalinist regime which not only can and will convict you of thought crime after you're dead but also created the universe 6,000 years ago - about 1,000 years after the Sumerians invented glue)

* believes in manmade global climate change (many Republicans posit lay, base, false discourse in opposition to the scientific consensus)

* is an environmentalist (said if he were President, he would transform the United States Environmental Protection Agency into new Cabinet Departments)

* believes in abortion (assuming the offspring is the result of rape or incest, or if the mother's life's in danger). He said "I would not support repeal of Roe vs. Wade, which would then force women in America to undergo illegal and dangerous operations"

* is hawkish (many Republicans are Ron Paul-like isolationists)

* wants to persevere in Iraq (many Republicans want an immediate end - an absolutely worthless and contemptible position, needless to say)

* supports nuclear energy expansionism (many people, red and blue, oppose this due to nothing but ignorance and stupidity)

* supports stem cell research

* has promoted legislation to legalize and eventually grant citizenship to the estimated 12–20 million illegal aliens in the United States

McCain was originally against Bush's tax cut because:

"of the disproportional amount that went to the wealthiest Americans. However, in 2008, McCain told Russert that he favors making those tax cuts permanent to prevent an increase in taxes while the economy was "shaky". He also said that his tax proposal would focus more on middle-income Americans than on the wealthy"

Er, so all 'good things that make you happy', then?

Not entirely, but pretty much.

I like Obama too, but he screws up on the environment/energy policy. To screw up on that = game over in my opinion.

Since McCain is essentially a liberal, and since the two Dems are so divisive, many Dems will vote Republican.

Really though, Blackandblue, the whole world has gone totally bananas and only one man is making any sense. That man is Senator McCain.

Didn't make a lot of sense when he claimed - on no less than three separate occasions a couple of weeks ago - that al-Qaeda was receiving training in Iran (eventually having to be corrected on the spot by Joe Lieberman). As Chuck Todd pointed out on MSNBC, a mistake of that kind from Clinton or Obama would have been played on a loop and done them serious political damage. Also, how is someone with an 83% rating from the ACU "essentially a liberal"? On the issue of abortion, for instance, last year (eight years after he gave the quotes that you used) McCain said "I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned."
