Who says it's not British culture to complain... Outof does a HSBC on British and American politics:

This was of course in response to Tomasky's speculation of the prospects of an Obama rally in McCain's home state of Arizona; supposedly swing voters in America want to go all out in numbers with a marching band and cheerleaders to support their winner, whilst in Great Britain we'd much rather sit at home with a cup of tea and watch Have I Got News For You and enjoy endless satire of our politicians cocking up. It's much less effort, really!

Also from Tomasky's blog, a clip from Fox News where Samuel Wurzelbacher (You may notice in the URL address Tomasky calls him Joe the Idiot. Nice.) shows us a clearly the workings (or lack of) of the misguided, uninformed mind of a McCain/Palin supporter. I've noticed this is core to everyone running from McCain and Palin all the way down to the little girls in the rally who want to be "just like Palin". I've yet to meet or hear of any republican supporter intellectually defend or stand their ground. I've seen so many strawman arguments come out from the McCain/Palin camp I'm beginning to wonder if it's really true they just don't want to see a black man socialist non-American become president.  ¶ posted by Jon at 10/30/2008
