He said what? The candidate's colorful language may come back to haunt him.

Actually, Ruvy, I think Baronius's pronoun IS the correct one; WE (everyone in the world) DO "have these louts," if only because of the position the US occupies and influence/power the US wields (for the time being) in the world.

Clavos,
Just as America is declining with respect to your boat business, America is declining with respect to its power. You give a parenthetical nod to that point in your comment above.
I tried to make this point in a different article pointing out the rise of an "Americanistic" (like Hellenistic) world culture while America itself declines in power and influence. That is what I believe we are seeing here. It is my opinion that this election will be the last time that the world looks so assiduously to elections in America. Perhaps, it will be the next to the last time; but in my humble opinion, the next election will get less of the world's attention than this one.
Sabbath looms and it's time to go.

What do you mean 'decent'? Hill seems like a decent person, and so does Obama. Huck looked decent and so did Romney.
What do you mean by 'decency'?

McCain was tested pretty dang good for 5 years in Vietnam... He's made mistakes like the rest of us in life, and your lack of objectivity shows insecuity in your convictions. Emotion is conveniant. Makes you look compassionate when your just ate up with self righteousness.
