You need a break, Subman. You are hurting your own crusade.

Welp, whether the country goes to war or not is the authority of congress not the president. But since the Constitution is sidestepped and by-passed at every turn, most folks think that it is the president's call. He can only ask congress to side with him on the issue.

That is too much power in one mans hands. That is why it left up to congress to make that decision. Just as Roosevelt did on December 8th 1941 in his adress to congress that he asked that a state of war exists between the Unied States of America and the Empire of Japan.

Otherwise he would have been able to muster the troops without anyones input.

Try living here. I've contemplated moving out of the country during election season. It's agony.

where would you go, Takeda. The schemes and mechanisms/patterns of american campaigning are more and more copied in Europe and Germany as well. the plague is spreading, so to speak. It still may not be as worse over here as it is in your place - but we make good progress.

Tasteless, tacky, devoid of humour, grossly distorted and without any real purpose. Oh yeah it's another thread started by Subman on Senator Obama.

Seriously give it up for a while. In your time here at Subsim you have made many meaningful contributions on a wide variety of topics but of recent it appears that you often only wish to post with the intent to elicit outrage by a section of the forum members. You are doing yourself no favours.

Couldn't we do the same thing, just for fun? Let's try it out, shall we?

Quote:
While McCain has historically opposed tax cuts in favor of deficit reduction,[13][14] he now favors tax cuts.[15]

McCain has declined to sign the pledge of the group Americans for Tax Reform to not add any new taxes or increase existing taxes.[16]
OMG Palin, sorry, McCain is a commie who doesn't want anyone to pay taxes!1

Should the US have an air force? Palin... sorry, McCain says no!

Quote:
Pork barrel spending (earmarks) McCain has been called one of the Senate's most outspoken critics of pork barrel spending.[27]
What the ****, no pork? McCain is a politically correct wuzz who's afraid of offending Muslims!

Quote:
McCain is a strong proponent of free trade.[33]
McCain supports slavery!

Quote:
McCain is against publicly funded health care, universal health care, or health coverage mandates.[56]
McCain to ban health care for the poverty-stricken!

Quote:
In April 2007, McCain called global warming "a serious and urgent economic, environmental and national security challenge" and said that the problem "isn't a Hollywood invention."[226]
McCain is a liberal!!!!!!!111111111eleven

Add your own!

Is this a desperate attempt from your side to keep the mood up when it becomes more and more clear that McCain/Palin isn't that good after all?

Regarding OP:
End Iraq war:
Iraq war is not 'defending America', so that's OT.
End wasteful spending: I had no idea that putting an end to the military wasting money would somehow weaken the US. Please explain.
End the unproven missile shield project: I haven't studied the SDI, so can't comment. Not that I think nuclear missiles are that much of a threat right now, but still, can't comment.
Not 'weaponize' space: Fine by me. We don't do it, they don't do it. If the Russkies start building TIE Fighters, we might rethink our strategy.

The rest isn't about disarming the States, except
No new nuclear weapons: Oh no, the US will be left with only a few thousands of them!

Sorry, but where in that movie does it say he wants to disarm America?

EDIT: And what about...
HOW R WE GONG 2 D3FAND OURSELVES WITHOUT PLAENS AND LAESRS????!!1111 OMG WTF AND WHEN WE DONT DAV3LOP ANY COMBAT SYST3MS IN DA FUTURE WAL B OVERTAEKN BY TEH ANEMY!!1!1!!1 WTF

:p

The interesting thing I have noticed with regards to people either getting offended or enraged is that 90% or so are folks from other Countries. What! Has ACORN registered all of you to vote in an American election?
