Mr. Fischer in the end didn't know at all anymore at what side of the political scale he was standing (I think he thinks he is off the scale altogether - you know the "older statesmantype" - above every "left and right")

i seriously would have to debate what po;itically is "left and "right" i did this in the seventies and always lost couldn't we say McCain id the elephantman and we don't want the elephantman as President?

the Schroeders - Blairs might all have read the manual and then - they love to throw it away and afterwards you truly could call it "Schroederism" or "Blairism" and don't let me start with Sarkozy - To make a very long story short, who cares "a hoot" how to "label" McCain if the "labeling show" we produce on this thread is so absurd!

Wow!

as my "wow" was meant to say - who wouldn't want to express such elementary thoughts in such an artful manner.

- the word "social" has quite a different meaning in America

than in Europe - as the world "liberal" as the word "conservative" as the word "freedom" as the word "nazi" as the word "left" and as the word "right" - And if you don't believe it you all will be invited to our next family dinner.

he might not like the weather.

is the pope catholic?

for 2008 - the one from 1950 is missing all the roads!

mix of elephants and liberals and centrists and the pope proves everybodys point.

it is time to change the fairy tale - It was once invented on false pretenses and now we would like to call it:"How Glenns Gang changed "the words" (not the world)

Where were we?!

…Once upon a time in America - when a King invented the "what is-is?" - and the peasants got so mad - they a new King, who perfected this "isis" into a demented art. When he was talking about peace he was talking about war and almost all the time he didn't know, what he was talking about at all. And if you were a peasants you couldn't leave this Kingdom for a minute - because when you came back - "liberal" already was a dirty word. And the King and his men made their peasants paranoid in changing a lot of words around and about the only words which remained untouched were vegetables like celery and the expression "dude". And to distract his peasants even more, the King invented a game called "who's on the left"? and it was not only played sucessful in the Kingdom but all over the world -

In Germany: "Where I am there is the middle!" -

Italy: "There is nothing to my right!" -

and in France: "I will encompass every side!"

AND - when a new heir to the Kingdom of America came along

and he was "labeled" a "centrist" the "game" could have involved into a silly, lengthy and unsuccessful war of words - were nobody anymore knew on which side one was and an elephant could have stepped into the Salon and the crazy King would have triumphed -

But this time the peasants were too clever and they didn't fall into the silly trap - and even LVM - who loved his words to be just like in his dictionary came to think, there might be more to an expression "is the pope catholic" than just the: "pleeze embrace the cultural transgressions, dude! - because they were "real" and he couldn't do a single thing against it. (besides using "questionable" words)

And finally everybody could "focus" to win the game

(whatever the game was) and they found out that actually the "centrist" was a "cynic" and they elected "hope" and "change" and could i please use "spell- check" from now

on dad?! No? - shoot!
