Cassini, Colombia is not under a dictatorial regime, can we agree about this?

The specific figures are relatively meaningless, in my opinion. I'm not reading too much into those.

But I am not surprised to see that Uribe's popularity can indeed increase, especially during this recent diplomatic and political confrontation with Venezuela.

Sarkozy tumbles into negative poll rating
17 Jan 2008, 0001 hrs IST,AFP

PARIS: President Nicolas Sarkozy suffered another setback in the polls on Tuesday when a survey showed more French people disapprove of his performance than those who approve.

For the first time since his election in May, the poll by the BVA institute showed Sarkozy had a negative rating, with 48% giving him the thumbs-down compared with a 45% approval rating. BVA pollsters said the shift was due to disappointment over what respondents view as the president’s failure to address a loss in French families’ purchasing power.

The drop "may be linked to financial concerns as well as a value judgment on the presidential style", said BVA. Polls in recent weeks showed Sarkozy’s rating dropping to a low of 48%, prompting analysts to declare his honeymoon in office over and some drawing a link with his new romance with Italian supermodel Carla Bruni.

His honeymoon in office may be over, but his honeymoon with Carla is just beggining.

You mean to say you did not turn your coat like the top Socialist representatives and become a Sarkozyst?

And I though Bernard Kouchner was your hero… wasn’t he one of your comrades at French Communist Party?

Where did you go wrong?

Well I am always available to be teach you about French politics:

Bernard Kouchner "began his political career as a member of the French Communist Party (PCF)"

Cassini is upset because it kills him that an OVERWHELMING majority of Colombians approve of Uribe and not farc. Even Chavez never got those numbers back when he actually was popular in Venezuela.

The comparison with African despots is unfair and completely ridiculous. Say what you will about Uribe and the Colombian government it is STILL a democracy and one of the oldest in the western hemisphere. Even under a dictator such as General Rojas Pinilla Colombians enjoyed more freedoms in the 1950's than almost any African nation today.

Being Cassini77 means never having to worry about the facts. Facts can be uncomfortable, and of course, anything that makes anyone uncomfortable is a violation of his constitutional rights. The only fact that matters is the foundational fact only Cassini77 can only feel what is right, so if a fact happens to contradict his feelings, obviously that fact must be wrong. Sentio, ergo rectum.

Let me share with you the secret of Cassini77's "success."

1. Make an untrue statement, preferably on the subject of something about
which he knows nothing.
2. Express astonishment that his source(s) could possibly be inaccurate.
3. Demand what motivation would have to lie.
4. Assert that the other party's inability to articulate this motivation is
tantamount to proof that his source is not lying.
5. Question the motivation of any contrary source or decenting view.
6. Argue that all sources are equal and that therefore the contrary source is
irrelevant.
7. Change the subject.

Alternatively:
.
1. Make an untrue statement.
2. Deny that you said what you said.
3. Deny that the other party understood what you said.
4. Deny that the words you used mean what the other party claims they mean.
5. Redefine your definition and hope the other person forgets the previous
one. Repeat as needed.
6. Assert that since definitions are irrelevant and subjective, the other person
who disagrees is mean-spirited, racist, sexist, intolerant and obsessive.
7. Change the subject.

Remember, Cassini77 as long as you haven't admitted you're wrong, you are right. Any attempt to demonstrate otherwise is evidence of criminal hate and probably mental imbalance, too. Never forget that any answer to a question you have asked should always be regarded as a personal attack if the answer is something you don't like. The world won't save itself, after all. Not without the fount of all that is good and wise and smart and cute, which is to say, Cassini77.

Gator excellent post! Although I think you are being very diplomatic about Cassini

In Alternatively #6 when one disagrees with him he has called for a PBH member to be put in a straitjacket. He also went as far as wishing the death of another PBH member, and was surprised as to why his post was deleted!

Also as noted many times, when he accuses others to be “mean-spirited, racist, sexist, intolerant and obsessive" he must be looking at himself in the mirror when posting that…
