Really? No doubt you will be able to justify this claim with a link demonstrating 'this as fact' instead of just your opinion.

Did you actually read the article? If so you would have seen that the subject is the US Secretary of State. In fact Argentina is not even mentioned in the article.
Jan 31st, 2013 - 01:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The time of America propping up Europe is over. And not too soon. I, for one, am sick of Europeans disrespecting the US!
ARE YOU GOING TO ANSWER THIS OR KEEP DODGING THE QUESTION

So you were bullshitting as I thought and have NO evidence to support your ludicrous post.
Situation normal then.
http://en.mercopress.com/2013/01/30/with-almost-unanimous-support-john-kerry-confirmed-as-us-secretary-of-state#comment210838: Not at all. You are probably not aware of this but Kerry has been on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee since about 1986. There is no doubt that Kerry is a patriot and an American. The problem is not a lack but a super abundance of evidence.
Feb 01st, 2013 - 02:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0You are right to be concerned. Your little pissant country is going down. This is why your wingnuts are going crazy, accusing the US of abandoning them. Ironically they seem to have some vague understanding of the true nature of the relationship.

Feb 01st, 2013 - 09:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Of course, I see it now, you are correct about everyuthing in the universe.
LOL's
Former Senator Kerry is an asshole in the highest order. I am all too happy to see him leave as my Senator. I find him to be an far left liberal but I cannot say that he is “anti British”. If you are up on American polls, you would know that 89% of Americans believe our relationship with the UK is the most favorable and important, despite what some politicians may say. The power of politicians come and go, but the people always stay.

Feb 07th, 2013 - 12:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Who referenced Fox? Have you seen me reference FoxNews. Try Gallup if you need to know, but get your own research assistant. Funny how you latin trolls refer to utube but ask for real proof from others. Typical rgentine shit. Quinipeac is another if you need it. Look for Rgentina!

http://en.mercopress.com/2013/01/30/with-almost-unanimous-support-john-kerry-confirmed-as-us-secretary-of-state#comment214106: That poll does not indicate that 89% (or 88%) of Americans support the US-UK “special relationship”.
Feb 07th, 2013 - 10:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In any case you will note that the public view of the favorability of any particular country can change fairly rapidly. For instance, the favorable view of Mexico has dropped from 74% in 2005 to 45% in 2011 and the positive view of France plummeted from 79% to 34% in 2002/2003. So your statement that, “the people always stay”, is not true.
But further than that the Pivot to Asia is driven by economic and geopolitical realities, not public sentiment about which countries are viewed as favorable.
Yawn!!!!!! lol a typical rgenturd response. Clean the shit off your streets, one can barely walk down Santa Fe without stepping into it. You are in Rgentina to know that.....right?

As the response to a comment about US foreign policy and in the context of an article about the new US Secretary of State you propose that I clean a street in Argentina. What a hard hitting argument!
Feb 08th, 2013 - 04:24 am - Link - Report abuse 0If you dislike Argentina so much why do you go there? Are you weak or stupid? Do you not have a mind of your own? From you posts I can see that you are a negative and angry person, and not much fun to be around. So I would think that the Argentinians would like appreciate it if you were not to pollute their country with your presence
I would hardly use my best for a RG troll. I've made that statement numerous times, why I go to Rgentina, do your research. Of you course would think that but go there and see if they think that. BTW..........get original with your rebuttals, ........tell Fatsimo the Fat Fuck Kirchner to write new scripts.
Feb 08th, 2013 - 11:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0The USA has given up on Rgentina and moved onto other countries in SA.....get use to it. But it should not matter unless you live there so no worries.
