Instead, with wearying predictability, you keep banging on as if you and this idiot congressman are victims of some media/liberal witch hunt, or whatever it is. In doing so you prove my point, for which i thank you.
I'm quite aware of that fact, but I'm trying to hold on to the notion that REAL Englishmen don't shove their opinions on subjects that they have no good understanding on only to be exposed for the lack of knowledge in that area. Thus your forray into the world of American politics and media is about as dim witted as a forray by me into the world of English politics and tabloids.
So again LOOK UP. The subject isn't that there is in the United States a person who made one (and only one) completely moronic statement. The thread itself is an agrument that every single Republican is a primitive neanderthal. That is the current line of the Democratic party at this point in time. That is my point and my argument.
As for the "idiot," he has already admitted that what he said was stupid and wrong. I'm sure in your entire life you have never said anything stupid or wrong. (Oh what am I saying, your English, of course you haven't.) In point of fact the people complaining the loudest for him to leave the ticket were REPUBLICANS. Not even his opponent called him on it and suggested he withdraw.
We have serious problems in the United States, but right now, the top two issues are one person saying someting biologically stupid and another person who skinnydipped in the Sea of Gallilee.
