Letade lite men hittade ingen direkt trad om sommarens/hostens kommande foljetong i media. Fragorna ar manga.
Vem vill just du se som vinnare och varfor ?
Vilka blir utvalda som vicepresidentkandidater och varfor ?
Vad blir de stora avgorande fragorna ?
Hur framstalls detta i svensk media ?
Kommer fler amerikaner att rosta ?
Vilka stater blir nyckelstater ?
Och sa vidare. Sjalv sa star jag pa den demokratiska sidan, vilket naturligtvis betyder att jag hoppas pa en seger for Obama-lagret och det demokratiska partiet. Hade hellre sett Hillary, men man kan inte fa allt.

u.s. är enbart en demokrati till fasaden, politiken kontrolleras av vapenindustrin, åt vilka politikerna i praktik jobbar för.
den kandidaten som går emot vapenindustrin blir inte framgångsrik,
den presidenten som går emot vapenindustrin blir offentligt avrättad.
så valresultaten innebär bara nya ansikten att agera språkrör åt vapen/krigs/terror-industrin.
Ner med enfalden! Heja mångfalden!

Rants: The Toddler King’s Insufferable Reign is Doomed
Both George Bush and Dick Cheney have emphatically proclaimed the American Way of Life as “non-negotiable.”
As hard as it may be for the feeble-minded, deluded, conscienceless, or hopelessly addicted to grasp, Mother Nature and billions of human beings are going to force us to the bargaining table.
We can kick, scream, stomp our feet, and hold our breath all we want, but our abhorrent mode of existence is going down.
Aside from the fact that they are utterly unsustainable, why is it such a certainty that American Capitalism, consumerism, militarism, and the myriad associated ills that exist to maintain our obscene lifestyle are a house of cards on the verge of collapse?
Quite simple really. With our overwhelming wealth, power, and military firepower, the United States exercises virtual hegemony over the globe. Granted our influence is waning, but we still call most of the shots. As lord and master of the planet, we are doing a miserable job.
Emotionally infantile, we have a sense of entitlement that dwarfs Mt. Everest, we are absolutely certain that we are center of the universe, and we throw incredibly destructive tantrums when we don’t get our way, the American Way that is.
We are massive toddlers inflicting our version of the “terrible twos” on the world. Were we not wielding such a massive cudgel, our childishness would be laughable. ...
Under our “good stewardship,” as our current unitary executive loves to call it, the world is careening down the highway at break-neck speed with an infant at the wheel. And if he crashes before an adult can wrest control from him, we’re looking at a major accident with multiple fatalities. We’ve already pushed the world to the verge of economic collapse, the brink of starvation, the initiation of perpetual war, and impending environmental disaster.
Collectively, we act without conscience or concern for the consequences of our actions. The American Way of Life is “all about me and to hell with everyone else.” We revere narcissism, hyper-individualism, greed, wealth, and status as virtues. Becoming a rich, acquisitive careerist by clawing one’s way to the top of the hierarchy through deceit, betrayal, sycophancy, and whoring oneself out in any way imaginable is enshrined as the penultimate achievement in our sewer of a society.
Contrary to the common misconception, the psychological umbilical cord between our mothers and us is severed at a very young age. Nearly the instant we are able to intellectualize we drop mom like a hot potato and become psychically parasitic, our hosts being those ubiquitous devices known as televisions.
When we were in the womb, our mothers’ rich and nurturing blood flowed through our veins, quite literally providing the essence of our physical being. Fast forward a few years. Our psychic umbilical cord detaches from mom and is immediately seduced to fuse itself to that seemingly innocent yet deeply nefarious pusher of mind crack. In stark contrast to our mother’s wholesome blood that nourished us in a way that ensured healthy physical growth, the rancid filth we derive from television cripples and malforms our psyches in profound and perverse ways.
Planned or not, television has become the power elite’s primary weapon in the daily propaganda war they wage to maintain the American Way of Life, furiously beating down any and all challengers. Calling the content of television “programming” is quite fitting. Through our addiction to pixilated images, the lords and masters of American Capitalism manipulate us into participating in the banality of evil without giving it a first thought, let alone a second one.
Much like the Leatherman, TV is an incredibly multi-faceted tool that enables the ruling elites in the US to hone the masses into the infantilized little sociopaths they need to man the bulwarks of American Capitalism, spreading our “corporatocracy and freedom from the pangs of conscience and critical thought” the world over.
If you don’t know the stats, you’ve been somnambulating, but here are a few:
1. We are 5% of the population and siphon off 30% of the world’s goodies, while 35,000 people starve to death each day.
2. We, the land of the free, exercise a higher degree of social control than even those “tyrants” in China and Russia. We have the world’s largest prison population, many of whom are non-violent drug offenders. And then there’s our clever way of imposing our agenda in Latin America via the “War on Drugs....”
3. We lost about 500,000 people in WWII while Russia lost over 20 million yet we arrogantly boast that WE “defeated fascism.” And that’s not to mention the fact that many of our beloved capitalists, including members of the Bush dynasty, supported Hitler until they faced potential criminal prosecution.
4. We have staged coups and incursions the world over (our interventions are far too numerous to document in this dispatch, but visit this site to familiarize yourself with the reach of our malevolent imperialist tentacles: http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Forei ... olicy.html)
5. Ironically, we justify our trillion dollar a year military budget by waging wars against nations with phantom weapons of mass destruction–while we are the only nation to have deployed such weapons. Ask Japan about the devastating impact.
6. We pour billions of dollars into the support of those miserable Zionist squatters in Palestine because a very small percentage of our population (which has very deep pockets, a strangle-hold on mass media, and a juggernaut lobbying organization) has many of us brain-washed into believing “poor little Israel” is fighting for its very existence—when the reality is that it has a more formidable military than all of its alleged threats combined and has ruthlessly brutalized the Palestinians like the terrorist state that it is.
7. We slaughtered over two million Vietnamese in an attempt to keep the world safe for capitalism and are poised to consider putting one of the perpetrators in the White House.
8. We have murdered untold millions of Iraqis since the Gulf War via invasion, brutal economic sanctions, fomenting civil war and chaos, illegal occupation, and destruction of infrastructure. And neither of the performers in the theater of the absurd we call a “presidential election” has promised to bring an immediate end to this moral and legal abomination. If we enforced the Nuremberg Laws that WE crafted, all responsible would be hanged, including whoever replaces Bush and perpetuates this genocide.
And that is just a brief and very incomplete summary of the evil that we openly or tacitly support simply by being Americans, even if our role is very banal or pedestrian. As cogs in a murderous machine built on stolen land and primarily with the blood, sweat and tears of slaves and poor immigrants, we all bear a degree of responsibility for the atrocities we commit. Even those who choose to remain and fight the system from within are still buttressing the American Way to some extent.
How do we sleep at night? Some of us don’t and some of us have pharmaceutical help. But by and large our television programming has given us the “gifts” of a pathologically muted conscience, heavy doses of blissful ignorance, and the attention span of anencephalic sheep.
Desensitized to violence, mentally malnourished by a steady diet of brain candy, conditioned to putting our brains in neutral and letting the “idiot box” do our thinking for us, psychologically beaten down by constant reminders that the subjects of our idolatry are “better than us,” and manipulated into believing that the spiritually vacuous American Dream is more than just a mirage that keeps the working class trudging through the desert of perpetual corporatism, many of us remain true believers, prefer wage slavery to sleeping under a bridge, or recognize that (despite the shop-worn and inane rhetoric about freedom and democracy) the system has harsh consequences for those who don’t at least ostensibly toe the line.
Regardless of our individual level of consciousness or level of participation in this criminal enterprise known in some circles as the American Empire, we Americans as a collective are an intriguingly repulsive synthesis of excessively spoiled brats and sociopaths. We want what we want when we want it, consequences be damned. We have the means to get what we desire, virtually no capacity to delay gratification, and the ability to punish those who stand in our way. To top it off, we don’t let trivialities like conscience restrain us. We are a nation of sociobrats.
Individually, we can change. Many have transformed and many more will. But there are some pretty long odds against enough of us shedding our grotesquely malformed psyches and evolving beyond our state of infantilization before the American Way of Life collapses under the weight of its own excrement or is eradicated by its hordes of victims.

Hej Jorgen !
Kan ju mycket val vara som du sager. Men visst har det haft en viss relevans de senaste tva valen, dar Bush har vunnit (naja) och darefter gjort det ena magplasket efter det andra, baserat i vissa fall pa en mer an lovligt personlig agenda.
Med Gore eller Kerry (njaa) vid makten sa hade knappast samma vagval gjorts. Darfor bor inte valutgangen vara helt irrelevant. Visst kommer det aven att bli skillnad pa den forda politiken beroende pa vem som vinner av Obama och McCain.
Jag ser din poang och forstar hur du tankt, men jag kan inte saga att jag helt haller med dig.
Ar val dags att damma av den har nu. Spikat och klart. Obama satsar pa erfarenhet i Joe Biden, McCain drar en rovare och chansar med "Sarah Barracuda".
Efter att sett de valregisserade spektalen som konventen ar sa kan man lugnt saga att det kommer att bli valdigt jamnt. McCain/Palin kor den gamla vanliga republikanska linjen, hur mycket maverick McCain an vill vara sa ar han anda av den gamla (riktigt gamla) skolan. Palin ar en riktigt skrammande kvinna for mig personligen. NRA-member, pro-life men for dodsstraff, religios och tycker att Gud skickade USA till Irak osv. Kristna hogervarderingar, helt enkelt. McCain kor stenhart pa sitt military record, ledarskap, sta upp mot etablissemanget osv.
Obama/Biden kor sin linje, forandring i sjukvardssystemen, okad governmental spending, mindre fokus pa militaren och satsningar pa utbildning. Bada sidor vill sanka skatterna, Obama/Biden for de som tjanar mindre an 200000 USD/ar, McCain/Palin vill permanenta Bush skattesankningar fran forut.
McCain ar inte helt ute och cyklar, han har varit med forr. Men jag var spiksaker pa att han skulle valja Mitt Romney, da ekonomin inte ar hans starka sida. Ekonomin ar och forblir valets stora fraga. Kan McCain/Palin flytta fokuset till nagot annat, da vinner dom pa ren javelskap. Annars ligger dom risigt till.
Just idag ar tidningarna igang med att regeringen tar over "Freddie och Fannie", tva stora bolaneinstitut som klantat sig ordentligt. Lite sedvanligt hyckleri dar fran vissa som rostar republikanskt, dom vill inte att regeringen skall blanda sig i deras liv, forutom da nar dom sjalva rakar illa ut.
Naja, i alla fall. Hur som helst. Debatten ar igang och jag foljer med i rapporteringen fran svenska tidningar, dar det som vanligt ar nagra bloggande utrikeskorrar som sitter i sina hyrda lagenheter i NYC och forsoker leka politiska experter nar dom skickas ut for att folja handelserna. Blandat med lite oversanda overambitiosa ungdomar som hyr en bil och ger sig ut pa vagarna for att gora reportage om det "riktiga Amerika". Turister med en kamera och ett anteckningsblock.
Sa hur som helst, idag just nu satter jag mina pengar pa McCain/Palin. Tyvarr. Men jag vill se Hillary tillbaka i valrorelsen snarast, hon kan plocka ner Palin pa jorden om nagon. En barracuda ar ingen match for en haj. Tur att jag bor i en traditionellt demokratisk stat, jag har nog med de republikaner som finns har anda.
Feel free to add your thoughts.

Gå in i Texttjänster och inmatningsspråk, välj lägg till svenskt tangentbord. Då får du möjlighet att skriva med de svenska å ä ö tecknen, som motsvarar tangenten {+[ = å, @+' =ä och :+;=ö, lätt att komma ihåg. Att skifta mellan amerikanskt eller svenskt blir enkelt på windows. Sitter du på en Mac, byter du lika lätt. Detta i all välmening. 
Tjena Levee,
Fortsätt gärna rapporterandet. Jag tycker valet är det intressantaste och kanske viktigaste någonsin (även om resultatet 2000 i efterhand var likväl dramatiskt och viktigt).
Det verkar mer polariserat än någonsin. Högt mot lågt, hopp mot cynism, change mot fundamentalism...
Valet av Palin verkar ju så här långt som fullständigt lysande! Populistiskt värre! Får se vad som händer när det drar ihop sig till debatter... Jag gillar ju Obama skarpt, tycker han är en alldeles lysande talare.
Kan demokraterna skicka ut Hillary som torped mot Palin?

Ja, du har helt ratt. Det ar verkligen en vattendelare, med tva sidor som ibland later ganska lika men som ar helt olika nar man gar ner pa djupet. Det som jag forsoker gora har nar jag hamnar i politiska diskussioner ar att framhava for amerikanerna vikten av att nu fa med sig det internationella perspektivet. Rostar dom in McCain sa kommer en hel varld att sucka djupt och tanka "nej, inte en san till, ar dom inte kloka". Deras ekonomi ar inte bra just nu och dom behover en regering som gar in med krafttag och stabiliserar upp lite efter Bush-regimens alla klavertramp. Nagon som kan aterskapa fortroendet for USA i varlden. Dar har Obama en stark position.

Ja, McCain drog en riktig rovare dar. Men han var tvungen att valja en ultrakonservativ running mate. Det ar hon sannerligen. Hittills sa har hon klarat sig bra, men nar forsta nyhetsvardet lagt sig sa kommer hon att sattas pa prov ordentligt. Populistiskt, javisst. Men den kristna hogern ar lyriska.
Obama kommer att fa bekanna farg nar debatterna borjar. Att tala ar en sak, men en debatt ar nagot helt annat. McCain ar ingen duvunge, han vet vad som galler. Men jag hoppas att Obama kan vaxla upp och visa den potential som han maste ha for att vinna det har valet. Now's the time, it's now or never.
Fication skrev:Kan demokraterna skicka ut Hillary som torped mot Palin?
Klart dom kan, fragan ar om dom gor det. Det borde vara ett logiskt drag att satta Hillary pa den uppgiften. Kvinna mot kvinna, mamma mot mamma sa att saga. Kan inte tanka mig att inte de demokratiska strategerna funderar i den riktningen. Lat Hillary mjuka upp henne lite innan Joe Biden skall debattera henne. Det ar vad jag skulle gora.
Nya polls idag har McCain/Palin i ledning. Vantat efter konventet. Nu galler det for demokraterna att kontra med allt dom har.

Internationellt har väl Obama en nackdel eftersom han förespråkar protektionism som lösning på jobbflykt. Det borde inte gynna någon, men allra minst USA på sikt?! Men jag antar att det är ett nödvändigt drag, kärnan i hans retorik är väl att hårt arbete ska löna sig och att han främst är arbetarnas man.
Soffan och popcornen är redo.

Soffa och popcorn ar alltid ratt. Obama, som jag ser det, vill val ha en storre balans i ekonomin gallande outsourcing kontra protektionism. Det ideala valet ar ju en kombination av de tva, for mycket av det ena eller for mycket av det andra tenderar att skapa obalans. Men det ar en svar balansgang som gackat ekonomer under arhundraden.
Visst siktar Obama in sig pa arbetarklassen, allt annat vore konstigt. Hans skattesankningsforslag ar ytterligare tecken pa detta, kontra McCain som valjer en annan vag att ga.

Heja Obama.
Som det star nu sa tror jag att McCain borjar sova daligt. Sarah Palin ar en fullstandig katastrof, henne kan han lika garna stoppa undan i ett last rum fram till valet sa hon inte gor bort sig annu mer. For er som inte sett den, sok pa Palins intervju med CBS anchor Katie Couric, finns pa youtube.
Tungt kampanjande nu i de s.k "swingstates". Tror att nyckeln blir Ohio. Vinner Obama dar, da tar han hem segern. Tva debatter kvar, Obama behover inte vinna, det racker med oavgjort. Dessutom har demokraterna en joker i leken ute pa vagarna. Bill Clinton kor for fullt igen och hans popularitet ar fortfarande hog bland the middle class.

Sitter har och vantar pa debatten. Ohyggligt kul att nagon hoppar pa Charles Gibson nar aven republikanerna sjalva ar ense om att Palin var ett gigantiskt misstag, nagot som framst kan illustreras av hennes debatt mot Joe Biden dar de enda republikanska forhoppningarna pa henne var att hon inte skulle bryta ihop totalt. Vilket hon i princip gjorde hos Katie Couric. Hela USA skrattar at Sarah Palin pga hennes totala brist pa kunskap vad galler sakfragorna. Hon ar en leksak, en marionett, en docka som pratar nar man trycker pa magen.
Vill du se riktiga skitstovlar sa foreslar jag att du kollar pa Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Pat Buchanan, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Brit Hume, Neil Cavuto och det ganget. Dar finns det hat sa det racker och blir over.
McCain kommer att attackera stenhart inatt, bort med alla karnfragor och allt som debatten egentligen borde handla om, full fart med personliga forolampningar. Patetiskt.
