Newt Gingrich would be laughed at in every country in Europe except Italy, as would all the Republican nominee's with the probable exception of John Huntsman, who'd just be laughed at for being a Mormon. I think the whole world has a nervous laugh when it comes to the US Presidential elections.
Don't take it personally American pals, but your country is filled with nutters.
I dont think its americans in general, but the resonable ones do seem to be out numbered by the batshit crazies.
I guess thats what you get when the original breeding stock was fanatical religious believers.
just another example of evolution in action.
to top it off, we are taught to look up to those batshit looney pilgrims in our schools. We are also taught to practically worship our fucked up founding fathers... the slave running oligarch bastards that they were

The guy (not Cenk) in the video about drugs said the Australian national was carrying 0.4 grams of heroin and that it was "clearly to use and give to their friends". They were in fact carrying 396.2 grams of heroin [1] and they were carrying it (by their own admission) to pay off debts. Cenk corrected this slightly later when he said it was 0.4 killograms, but he didn't correct the bit about this being a case of actual drug trafficking, as opposed to it being for personal use.
That said, it was still an appalling sentence, and another reminder of why the war on drugs continues to fail.
It wasnt so much the drug, or the amount, but it was the penalty that this video was about.
Drugs do not deserve the death penalty.
