Well I do enjoy editorials on US politics, whether by US or international commentators. I "enjoy" them but I don't agree with most of them regardless of partisanship. I do think that what is usually put down as left-wing/socialistic/blablah is still more sensical than the right-wing I-still-don't-know-who-runs-this-party blather of the new post-tea-party GOP.

Granted. But whether it's Hannity or Maddow (as an example of two who do and don't do their research btw), it's a hella lot more interesting than CSpan. It's great to watch full unspun verbiage from the particular party reps, but that is the raw material the idiot talking heads use for their "stories". And stories they are.

Entirely your point of view, but as to texas politics you'd have to be a little more specific...

I like Ron Paul. I agree with the rest, and I'm sure the major American political families are deeply enough implicated in crazy, eye-widening craziness they're due for some spectacular comeuppance.

Hm.. but why would his nationality prevent him from having an opinion on US drama/politcs? Most of us here don't seem to care about international politics to start with, let alone domestic politics. Someone from an outside culture might be able to provide some insight.
I don't know about ALL his american bs politics threads, but I wouldn't blame anyone for finding US gobspitting entertaining.
It's actuallly kinda like GFY, without the dirty werds...
:D
