AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on perceived political lies, particularly regarding the media, fiscal conservatism, the war in Iraq, oil pricing, and government preparedness for terrorism. Participants argue that the media is not inherently liberal but reacts to the political landscape, often focusing on Republican failures due to the latter's more frequent scandals. The claim that Republicans are fiscal conservatives is challenged, with skepticism about their financial management. The assertion that the U.S. is fighting terrorism in Iraq is debated, with some acknowledging that while terrorists are present, the initial justification for the war was misleading. Concerns are raised about oil pricing, suggesting that it is influenced by corporate profit motives rather than pure supply and demand. The effectiveness of government preparations for future terrorist attacks is questioned, particularly in light of the inadequate response to Hurricane Katrina, which highlighted systemic failures. Overall, the conversation reflects deep skepticism about political narratives and the effectiveness of government actions in ensuring safety and accountability.

I finally fully apreciate what Sir Winston Churchill meant when he said:

Democracy is the worst form of Government barring all the rest:biggrin:

You voted the semi literate ninkompoop in again you kinda screwed up there:bugeye: the world breathes a collective sight that presisdents only have two terms of office. How lucky you are that that constitutional idea was finally enforced:smile:

American Politics, honestly guys you couldn't make this stuff up:-p

Our politics are down right mundane compared to you guys, hats off?

Your media representation of the world is also fairly amusing, it often walks a fine line between impartial reporting and propaganda. it's a good job you Americans have other ways of obtaining information than your news programmes. They sometimes distort the facts a little too much for my liking. Mind you so does much of our press sometimes, you just have to chose the wheat from the chaff.
