The Irish are such clear thinkers

[Kaisu]

'We, in Ireland, can't figure out why you are even bothering to hold an election; in the United States.

On one side, you have a witch who is a lawyer, married to a lawyer, running against a lawyer who is married to a witch who is a lawyer.

On the other side, you have a war hero married to a good looking rich woman who owns a beer distributorship.

What are you lads thinking over there?'

im not sure if this is a joke or a stab at something??

In the immortal words of Homer Simpson, "Beeer"

Is it true that an Irishman thinks more clearly after a couple of pints? I'm Scott/ Irish. But haven't worn the kilt yet.

Like in the past few elections, I think it's sort of like voting for the lesser of the evils. Not to start a political debate, but I think McCain is the likely choice, IMHO.

we , in the u.s. want to know what is there to vote about with the lisbon treaty.

My god, an american that has an understanding of european politics....well done my friend!!

Now, onto the order of the day: why has the country that benefited the most from EU investment now just rejected it's treaty?

A bit ungrateful, don't you think?

i don't know to much about the treaty, but my understanding is that they ( ireland ) are tired of other countries telling them what to do. thats why they are saying no. and if that is the reason God bless them!!!!. again i don't know to much of the treaty. so no i don't think they are being ungrateful.
