Hello Björn!

25 Jun 08 17:49, you wrote to me:

 BF>>> Don't blaim me. I didn't vote for them.

 RC>> I didnt vote for a large portion of our legislators..

 BF> And still you agree to everything they do, that's at least the
 BF> impression I get reading what you write in the political echoes.

I dont agree with everything they do..

It doesnt take much to get you to perceive an ounce is a gallon does it?

I disagree with alot of things they have done, what Bush has done, what the
Supreme Court has done, but I am not fool enough to believe that my
disagreements are universal.

Nor am I fool enough to think that my idealogy be guided by people such as you.

 BF>>> buddy here that can inform them of what's going on?

 RC>> Hogwash..

 BF> Maybe but we're known to share everything with NATO and CIA.

If Sweden is a part of NATO then that would explain the NATO thing.

I doubt the US holds sway over those parliamentarians that voted for it.

Aside from that, if indeed your unfounded theory held any water, it would have
been all over the press.

 BF>>> Our "Republicans" are history in the next election. They have
 BF>>> done so much shit to a normal Swede and (as Rep:s does) only
 BF>>> look after those who already have so much so they can clean
 BF>>> their ass with money. Just as it is in USA.

 RC>> Except that they arent Repubs...

 BF> Who? Ours? They sure are as right as it's possible to get without
 BF> being called nazis.

Well I didnt elect your legislators..

Shouldnt you be crucifying those of your country whom did?

 RC>> You come from a place where the people expect the govt to be
 RC>> mother and father.

 BF> Oh...Like the Patriot Act you mean?

What you have and have had for years puts it to shame.

 BF>>> And you think McCain is better than Bush.....? Yeah....

 RC>> Where did I say that and what makes you think he will win?

 BF> That is what you imply in the political echoes.

Am I supposed to hope that Obama wins?

Why would I want a Ward Healer whose youth and inexperience will betray him as
equally well as Jimmy Carter's indecisiveness betrayed him?

I will probably vote for McCain, I will hold my nose, knowing that my choice
will represent the lesser of two evils. Who I vote for will not be determined
by the likes of you.

 RC>> p.s. I didnt vote for McCain in the SC primary held back in
 RC>> January.

 BF> I don't think you voted for Obama or Hillary either.

Dont be silly, I couldnt have voted for them, they were in another primary.

If you understand our system so well, you'd know why.

 RC>> People with low intelligence misplace blame.

 RC>> Blame your govt..

 BF> For Bush's foreing politic....?

Bush's foreign policies have nothing to do with the laws the Swedish parliament
enacts.

If the Swedish parliament was under pressure to pass this legislation from
outside sources, with the vote the way it turned out, dont you think that the
parliamentarians whom voted against it would have made sure word of this had
gotten out to the Swedish press or anyone else whom would listen, like in the
blogoshpere?

These type of secrets cant be kept in Washington DC, why would you think they
would in Stockholm?

 RC>> Even Felten hasnt played this blame game, but despite his traits,
 RC>> he is smarter than you apparently.

 BF> Maybe. I'm not that deeply involved in politics, I'd rather stand with
 BF> both feet in the soil.

Being as it may, then perhaps you ought to shut your yap having made such an
admission.

 RC>> I do blame my own..

 BF> You're like Jeff, you say that you have said a lot but I haven't seen
 BF> any of it.

Not that I am required to share with you correspondence I have had with my
legislators, but they dont use Fidonet, therefore....

 RC>> I do not run my complaints by you for approval, should I?

 BF> No, but you could say something sometime what you think instead of
 BF> making us believe that you're a Bushbot then.

So if I aint singing your chorus against Bush, I must be a Bushbot, isnt that
like if I aint with you I must be against you?

 BF>>> Do you think I watch someting so stupid when I am at home?

 RC>> Evidentily so else you wouldnt have brought O'Reilly up in a
 RC>> topic that doesnt pertain to him.

 BF> That was ment to Roy. He who believs everything they say on Fox News.
 BF> The guy who says that we shouldn't believ everything we read and see
 BF> on TV and when he can see the errors of Bush and O'Reilly I will agree
 BF> to see the errors made by ours (as if I don't do that already).

So when you run out of arguments to make, you bring in strawmen to divert?
