4. now that is ageism
But I will say, he needs to quit mentioning things like WW2 and the Great Depression in his speeches. That just doesn't help. Neither does that guy who cuts his meat for him. Oh man, I just went over the line. :)

14. Yeah, but I needed an offensive ism...
I am definitely a foreign policy realist, since I am no longer under the umbrella of Catholicism I am now guilty of humanism (although they aren't mutually exclusive), my dad has albinism, can I count that? :hi:

The British view: whoever wins the US election, John McCain is last


Source: Daily Telegraph

Obamamania sweeps Britain. So many primaries are being held in the American presidential contest that we thought the 51st state should not be left out. So Populus asked British voters which of the two Democrat challengers they preferred, and then, separately, to choose between either of the two Democrats and the Republican Senator John McCain.

The results are fascinating at several levels. First, and most obviously, Senator Barack Obama has caught the imagination of the British public across the board. He is both known and seen as fresh and exciting. Nearly a half of all voters (48 per cent), and the same proportion of men and women, and of Labour and Tory voters, prefer Senator Obama.

Hillary Clinton has won the backing of 35 per cent of the British public, with no difference between men and women. She receives most support among Labour voters, at 41 per cent, and least, 27 per cent, among Liberal Democrats, who are the keenest on Senator Obama, at 66 per cent. Only 17 per cent do not express an opinion either way.

Secondly, more than a half of British voters want to see a Democrat win in November. Senator McCain gains the support of a fifth or less of the public. Senator Clinton would win by 56 to 20 per cent, and Senator Obama by a virtually identical 54 to 19 per cent. Of course, the two Democrats have been in the news a lot more recently, though Senator McCain is one of the best-known American politicians in Britain.

11. I wouldn't buy one of his
First of all because I have three a day that I hardly ever use myself.

I do love the British voters though. But they are not the 51st state. That would be Canada. :hide: Hoping that these bricks protect against hockey sticks.
