“Nahncee – my guess is that YOU as well as me might have s bit more standing than Wretch when it comes to commenting on American elections. As per Johnny Mac, we’re American citizens. Wretch is a citizen…of the world.”

Nice try.

You are an impertinent, pretentious and gratuitously verbose pimp on a mission, Benj.

Given the political line and worldview you have been flogging here for weeks, it is you who have no standing in logic or reason to comment on the American election. Wretch has demonstrated a strong commitment to reason on a hugely diverse range of issues for at least the year I have been reading the Belmont Club. He may or may not be an American citizen but that is simply not relevant when it comes to venturing incisive comment.
And you are one eyed about a presidential candidate who lives in a narcissistic, elitist mental projection that has little to do with the real world.
And even less to do with a nation built on the finest anti-authoritarian basis in history (the Constitution).
Obama lives in the plastic world of chatter mind and you tend to inhabit the that world as well.
It’s a bit rich that a person with your anti-American mindset would would don the cloak of citizenship to denigrate the relevance of the kind of comments and analysis Wretch comes up with which are far more in tune with traditional US views than yours.
And once again you did not source or otherwise substantiate your slurs on Sarah Palin.
On the basis of what you have contributed to this site to date you seem to be a silly little pissant and a gratuitously loquacious one to boot.
You are a bothersome twit.
