American politics on European travel
Why do Americans find the need to discuss their politics on a newsgroup for
European travel. I have visited the States a number of times and am fond of the Americans but their politics should be confined to other newsgroups -- For lovers of France please visit my site at www.languedoc-herault.info |

And because this newsgroup has a few trolls. -- Julie ********** Check out my Travel Pages (non-commercial) at http://www.dragonsholm.org/travel.htm |

And because this newsgroup has a few trolls. And because of rampant cross-posting. It will help if responders in r.t.e. delete the many additional newsgroups that appear in the OP's post. I can tolerate our own idiots pretty well, but there are millions more out there sneaking in through cross-posting. Tom |

I have visited the States a number of times and am fond of the Americans but their politics should be confined to other newsgroups It's relevant to the extent that many travelers are concerned (rightly or wrongly) about European anti-Americanism. -- "... a political candidate who jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts is not a person you want as your Commander in Chief".
