My Fellow Americans 2008 - US Primary Elections

mos dan · Post by **mos dan** » Sun Dec 23, 2007 2:50 pm

Hello. Me and my good friend the artist Tom Humberstone (www.ventedspleen.com) are travelling around the USA's key electoral states following and blogging the US election - we set off in exactly one week!

Please subscribe to the feed. And come hang out with us, the Americans among you. Here's the spiel I've been e-mailing people (or just hit the link!):

Let's make this relationship special again...

During the 2008 US Presidential Election's decisive first six weeks we're going to be out there on the road: meeting, greeting, charming and confusing the American people.

While the real journalists are at press conferences flashing their laminates and collecting official statements, we're going to be in the bar around the corner, drinking whisky with attractive young Republicans in sharp suits, or having coffee with grizzled old Democrats who once met Jimmy Carter.

We fly in to the United States on 30 December, and will be blogging through the duration of our trip, Dan writing the words, and Tom drawing the pictures.

Please click the 'RSS' link on the front page to bookmark the website feed:

Please tell your friends, tell your friends to tell their friends, and keep checking back to see how we're doing (we ain't doing this for the money - no ads, no funding). And if you're in the USA, come and meet us for a coffee!

BUUUUUUMP. Caucus starts in less than three hours. We're in Iowa City, Iowa now. (next stop, New Hampshire)

Americans/other interested people please tell your friends about our blog - we're funding the thing out of our own pockets!

thanks man. i swear the election is so much more interesting when you're out here than it would be on cnn - soundbite culture rules the roost, it's sad. we're trying to get away from that kind of analysis though still. safe!

following with interest.

although i'm probably more interested what you're getting up to out there than the contest at this stage.

i think you'll find this amusing mate:

We've already discussed who is going to win, man... wait and see.

The primary process is to determine who is the nominee of their party to go to the general election.

In New Hampshire(the "LIVE FREE OR DIE" state!) you can vote for a person from ANY party, no matter what your registration is. LOTS of independent voters. All of them own guns, none of them pay taxes, none of them will allow themselves to be vassals to the state.

Who do you think it sounds like they are gonna vote for?

Tin Foil Helmet kru inside the place.

He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.

He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.

He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.

if mike "gay marriage will end civilization" huckabee does well, it will be a sad day for america

Mike Huckabee is a paper media creation... Ron Paul raised in ONE DAY what He has raised in this entire year... Ron Paul DOUBLED what the best QUARTER was for any Republican, and BEAT Obama and Hillary this month in fundraising...

the best part of this...

THEY ALL SPENT THEIR MONEY.. Ron Paul still has every penny for the Front-Loaded primary schedule... New Hampshire is going to see an upset, followed by Michigan, Nevada, South Carolina, Florida...

it's coming.

Ron Paul wrote:Indeed, it is shocking to consider the uniformity of opinion among blacks in this country. Opinion polls consistently show that only about 5% of blacks have sensible political opinions, i.e. support the free market, individual liberty, and the end of welfare and affirmative action.... Given the inefficiencies of what D.C. laughingly calls the "criminal justice system," I think we can safely assume that 95% of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal.

If similar in-depth studies were conducted in other major cities, who doubts that similar results would be produced? We are constantly told that it is evil to be afraid of black men, but it is hardly irrational. Black men commit murders, rapes, robberies, muggings, and burglaries all out of proportion to their numbers."
