Call a couple of hours ago from a night owl German friend who follows our Politics

Well, he said, I've been watching. It looks like Romney came out of the slimey cesspool of your mud wrestling fights as the winner.

I wish it had been the other one, the nastiest one. Because then we could watch the candidates fight each other for longer and harder.

The reason we wish that is because if America is pre-occupied with these people destroying each other, then we in Europe don't have to worry about them starting a new and additional war.

I did not have a whole lot I could say to that, I'm sorry to report

1. Wow...the German really hit the nail on the head!

He knows more about US politics than many Conservative Americans...who know squat!

[dixiegrrrrl]

2. He under-estiamtes us, I'm afraid.

We can have a circustent full of twits running for President AND manage to start 3 more wars
even tho we have been flat stoney broke for years!

America: The Can-DOO country.

3. Yeah, because we all know Germans would never start a war

oh wait.

5. Your comment is definitely valid. Yet, 70 plus years ago,

when Germany started the horror of WWII that guy wasn't born, and neither was I. To the best of my knowledge nobody is worried about Germany starting a new war.

4. Not much to disagree with there.

Sadly, the EU is paying more attention to this than the low information voters here who will line up in November to vote against their own best interest.
