The 2012 Olympics to London: A Euro Conspiracy?
Edited on Wed Jul-06-05 10:52 PM by Lone_Wolf_Moderate
Hillary Clinton sure thinks so. Have any right-wingers said anything about this? This seems like maniac pandering to me.

Here's the link:

It's shit like this that makes me dislike this woman.

3. Oh for Christ's sake...it's a parody
Her spokesman did not really just announce her as a candidate in 2012.

Read, people.

6. Backlash From U.S. Unpopularity
NY didn't have a chance. With the current state of world opinion there's simply no way any U.S. city could have garnered the support necessary. I say thank Bush for the loss - he's making us into a pariah.

7. Actually
I'd say it was the fact that Atlanta was a corporate whore-out of the highest order that also had a series of bombings that really makes people not want another American games.

And the fact that we simply couldn't stand two weeks of that moronic "U-S-A U-S-A" shit without packing the garbage can full of fertiliser and sugar and heading over to the Baghdad - Airport road.

8. I just hope London fills up the stadiums
It was pathetic last year in Athens with the non-existant crowds at many games.
