If I were in Reines' position, I would make the demands more ridiculous. Things like "use the word 'nostril' twice" or "write an entire paragraph describing your love for potato salad, but make it seem like it ties into Hilary Clinton somehow".

You have my vote!

I'm assuming that is very much frowned upon and smells of suspicion.

and I should care.... why?

also funny how none in this thread is from the country which it concerns.

Shouldn't the independent press be independent? And isn't this evidence of them favoring one candidate and hence a factor that may lead to writing misinformed or biased articles about others? And will this favor or lack of it towards candidates misinform the public whom they have a duty to inform as their audience? And might this not lead to people basing votes on some things that are not true? Sounds plenty to care about.

It'll concern everyone a bit at least. Or tell me why people outside the US are worried the Donald will take the soft chair.

would you have done the same post if this was Sweden or Burkina Faso?

That's obviously because we dumb Americans are aware that you Brits have such a more nuanced and intelligent insight into our own culture and political environment. Why offer commentary on anything when it can be replaced by the caustic tones of a limey snark?

Do you really think Sweden and the US are equally active in international disputes and regulation of trade or a major player in international geopolitics and foreign policy? Because if Sweden was, I'd post that as well.

Unrelated; but aren't you from Germany?

That's it! I will never vote for Hillary Clinton! After all, she is the ex-wife of a known adulterer, so I don't think she can be really trusted. Who marries an adulterer anyway? An adulteree???

Plus, they don't let me vote as I am not an US citizen, all I can do is to vote with my wallet! Yeah!

EDIT: WHAT?!? They are not even divorced yet? That makes it even worse! Or does it? Of course it does... unless it doesn't. No, the answer is yes. No?

I'm kind of intrigued though if the former First Lady became the president. Doesn't that then mean that the former president (Bill) would become The First Gentleman of the United States?

well they do, don't they, I mean, you can't, can you, I mean they're not even married or anything, they're not even divorced, and he's in the KGB if you ask me, he says he's a tree surgeon, but I don't like the sound of his liver, all that squeaking and banging every night till the small hours, well, his mother's been much better since she had her head off, don't you talk to me about bladders, I said...

Hilary Clinton is the most inconsistant politician in the buisness.

And worse of all she is clearly prostituting herself to all the big corporate giants perticularly Time Warner.

Or allude to at least twice in an article without explicitly mentioning the term "Thunder Thighs"
Being a whore is par for the course, especially in US politics.

Remember when her and Lieberman were on the "vidya games are bad for the childrens" wagon?

I get enough of this crap from my parents. Fuck.

Anyone want to talk about gaming or porno?

And that is another thing I am worried about if she becomes President.

But than again Gamestop and 7 Wal-mart chains are leaving my island so brick and motor Console Gaming is dead here :P
