Santorum is 2nd in the race for the republican nomination and he says women who are raped should have to deliver the babies as they are gifts from god. Nick Griffin, is the leader of a fringe racist party. He's also Catholic, and uses his religion to back up his racial hatred. |

You are blessed in Britain really, not having a real democracy. The fact is, i could go to any council estate and find plenty of epople that agree with Santorums ideals. I watch a lot of british tv, so i know there are plenty of racists and homophobes out there dude. I've seen the jeremy Kyle show, and i know they don't struggle to find guests. so don't think you have anything to be proud of. Gordon Brown was PM for 2 years, how many times was he elected??? *smiles sweetly*

Of course we have racists over here. They exist everywhere in the world, and we are no different. Even Mitt Romney said he would eradicate planned parenthood yesterday. These are faith (Christianity or it's bastardisations like Mormonism) issues. I'm aware we have scum, but no political leader would come out and say that women are sluts and they should have to pay for their own contraception. John Boehner is 3rd in line to the presidency, so it's not completely impossible he could end up as president. Obama is a target for right wing crazies and Obiden (as palin wold say) is old. Now not only would John Boehner not have been elected, but he's a member of the other party. Last edited by Jesus.; 15-03-2012 at 01:29 PM. |

I've also added something on to the bottom of my post that replied to previously. You might want to look at it. Last edited by Jesus.; 15-03-2012 at 01:28 PM. |

and what about the OTHER house of parliment.. the house of LORDS.. lets talk about that... the people barely have a choice in the house of commons, but they have absolutely NO choice in the house of Lords, right?
i'm just a dumb American, so maybe i'm wrong, but when's the last time anyone had a say about the house of Lords??

I'm not defending our political system. The American constitution is a much better system on face value. The trouble with ours though, we have milennia of progress and change to take into consideration when we arrived at our system. We had to swap from monarchy to political and keep everyone interested. We have the political system we do, not because it's the best, but because of incremental progress that was made without the constant civil wars. |
