Governments bring themselves down, it's not as much a vote for Obama, more of a vote for change. He may end up being the benefactor for that.

At least with Hitlery, you know how she might vote on a given subject. Obama could be a loose cannon for all we know. McCain - I am not even sure what party he represent?

Man the choices suck this time around.

Yeah, I think we've entered the twilight zone . 6 months ago, if you told me everybody wanted Hillary to win, I would have said you were crazy. I think you are right on, it's the lesser of 3 evils: Marxist, Marxist, and what ever mccain is.

Thats why I think Obama isn't worth my vote. He doesn't take a stand on anything. He hasn't done anything. His record is full of abstains. He's got charisma and thats all he has.

So what does that tell you about these hordes of new voters turning out and the Obama mania that has been sweeping the country? Perhaps that style wins over substance and that voters are desperate for at least perceived change. :hmm:

Ah yes, they're all Marxists.

Sure.


On the video, that's not very inspiring. But in the spirit of fairness, remember that you can find these moments for every candidate, and some are more damaging than others.

Quote:
Q: “What about grants for sex education in the United States? Should they include instructions about using contraceptives? Or should it be Bush’s policy, which is just abstinence?”
Mr. McCain: (Long pause) “Ahhh. I think I support the president’s policy.”
Q: “So no contraception, no counseling on contraception. Just abstinence. Do you think contraceptives help stop the spread of HIV?”
Mr. McCain: (Long pause) “You’ve stumped me.”
Q: “I mean, I think you’d probably agree it probably does help stop it?”
Mr. McCain: (Laughs) “Are we on the Straight Talk express? I’m not informed enough on it. Let me find out. You know, I’m sure I’ve taken a position on it on the past. I have to find out what my position was. Brian, would you find out what my position is on contraception – I’m sure I’m opposed to government spending on it, I’m sure I support the president’s policies on it.”

The President is supposed to represent the entire people Subman, not just one party.

That's funny to you? IMO partisanship has never been a good thing for our country. especially in a President.

We've had plenty of Presidents that went beyond such a small view of the job. Read John Adams "Thoughts on Government" for a start.
