Don't worry The Libertarian Party will save us:-



In fairness to all politicians, being asked the price of milk or the names of wold leaders are rotten, low-blow questions. India is the largest democracy in the world, yet who on here can name their Prime Minister without googling it? I know I couldn't.

They didn't ask him to name a specific leader though; just one that he admired. He seems to be a little ignorant when it comes to the world outside of the States.

That seems to be a specific trait of many Americans. Some of them think Darlington is where a certain motor sport raceway is in South Carolina.

I have an American friend who lives here in Spain. She's intelligent and well-travelled yet she thought that Scotland was an island separate from England. I think she'd even been to Scotland!

The Libertarian Party is insular first and foremost. Unlike the major parties their views are America shouldnt be getting involved in other nations affairs.

They'd also cut military spending and reduce the American military bases around the world.

I understand that but there is a major difference between not getting involved abroad militarily and not being informed on world affairs. Gary Johnson was clearly embarrassed by the two gaffes. I know you're a fan but others will be concerned by his lack of knowledge. The Aleppo episode in particular was ridiculous.

I've just completed my daily dive into the BBC's US Election subsection, just to see what's been happening today.
Once again The Donald is dominating the headlines:-

More sexism
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-37542294

More tax
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-37535643

Finishing off with dubious charity goings on
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-37547094


It's Monday freakin lunchtime across the pond.

There's a lot of speculation in the US media that Marla Maples, Trump's ex-wife, was the one who leaked his tax return. Ain't karma a bitch

My ''selective'' Moral Judgement at least is based on what I believe as opposed to what I perceive yours to be. Yours in my opinion seems to be based on whether the colour of their skin is white or not - which is a diplomatic way to avoid saying ''racist''

Which is not a good way of trying to circument the libel laws so I suggest you withdraw your accusation.

There is plenty to question about Khans conduct and motives and none have a racial dimension.
