positive relations with the rest of the world, rather than more of the McSame. The Bushites have been spending billions of our tax dollars to destabilize and overthrow South American democracies, and to support the worst elements of South American society--for instance, the fascist thugs, murderers and drug traffickers running Colombia. There are many U.S. labor groups, for instance, who are well aware of this, and who have successfully lobbied Congress to stop the U.S./Bush-Colombian "free trade" deal (cuz, you know, they chainsaw union leaders in Colombia and throw their body parts into mass graves). The Bushites are organizing, funding and probably arming the white separatists in Bolivia (to split off the gas/oil rich provinces into a fascist mini-state in control of the resources), and are supporting similar civil war plots in Venezuela and Ecuador. They recently reconstituted the 4th Fleet (a nuclear fleet) to roam off the coast of Venezuela as a provocation, and were behind the recent Colombian military bombing/raid into Ecuador (which almost started a war). All of this is about oil, oil, OIL! They want Venezuela's and Ecuador's oil, especially. They are trying to start Oil War II.
Granted, most of our citizens aren't well-informed on these matters, but some are. And so, positive signals from someone like Lula da Silva--who, in addition to being the president of the biggest country and economy in the south, is a big Chavez supporter--might well sway PEACE votes, even among Republicans and corporatists. U.S. corps are losing out big time in South America, partly because of hostile activities by the Bush Junta. 12 South American countries just formed UNASUR, the foundation for a South American "Common Market" and (proposed by Brazil) a common defense, without the U.S.
Corporate America badly needs to spiff up its image in South America. And voters of this ilk might be swayed, and those who genuinely want peace and better relations with the rest of the world, not to exploit but because it's the right thing to do, might be given yet more inspiration and impetus to toss out the Bushites, and bring in a new era of peace and social justice.
So I wouldn't dismiss Lulu's comments out of hand, as having no influence. It would not likely be a decisive factor to voters here--and might be important only to the more well-informed--but it certainly contributes to a hopeful climate--a climate of change for the better. And that is Obama's middle name--change.
If you did conduct a poll, and asked a question like, "Would you rather have peaceful cooperation with the leftist governments of South America, or Oil War II?," I think you'd get about the same response they're getting on the Iraq War--SEVENTY PERCENT against war. Or maybe even 80%--because that's how many don't want war with Iran. I think a consensus is forming in the U.S. about war vs. peace regarding resources like oil. And the more that McSame's views become known, the more supporters he will lose, because he is, well...McSame. Again, not many people know about Bushite war plans for South America, but those who do welcome signals that help us judge McSame's policies (from a Latin American point of view), and--more importantly--Obama's policies and intentions (which are not that easy to read).
