Any chance there’s a Youtube or other link? I think this would be fascinating. I actually fell for his good 'ol boy demeanor, and never though of it as an act. But then again… his upbringing–especially given the demeanor of his parents–certainly belies that notion.
With all due respect, Squink, I believe the news more than some anonymous poster on a MB. But if you can back up your claim with evidence, let’s see it. What info do you have that “The last elections in Iran demonstrated pretty conclusively that having other nations hate you is good for the local conservative party.” I’m especially interested in the “pretty conclusively” part. Everything isn’t automatically about the US.
Nah, if you choose to believe that having the ‘great satan’ invade the country next door to you, and spout bellicose rhetoric in your general direction has no effect on elections, you’re welcome to remain a believer.
I didn’t say “no effect”. I said the election was “more about…”. It really is often about the economy. You’re the one talking about conclusive proof. It’s nothing of the kind.
