I speak like a woman that should not have my nose in the matters of Government. I also speak like a Confederate of the old days. I don't want my freedoms taken away because my parents tried doing that for years.

What? You're going to have to explain this one to me. It flies straight over my head.

Sorry this may sound rude but you sound like a deluded and brainwashed person. Your "facts" are incoherent (make no sense) and your conclusions, based on those facts, are also incoherent.
Nothing you've said actually ties in with what is happening in American politics. It is just baseless supposition (fantasy) which you have probably been fed by your husband, or you have dreamed up by watching a 5 minute news report a few years old.
Of course, you are free to think what you want but I personally can't even begin to bother with explaining how erroneous (wrong) your ideas are.
Its not like you would listen to anyone else when you're loaded with such ridiculous opinions.

I will be back McCain because Obama is way too naive to run the America.
Obama has refused to understand appeasing crazed terrorist who think killing non Muslims is their ticket to 72 virgins will not bring safety.
Also America is not a Democracy it is a Constitutional Republic which is better then a Democracy cause people actually have to deal with a cross section of Americans. While in a Democracy 51 percent can decide how much freedom the other 49 percent have. The Founders considered a Democracy then then tossed it away cause a Republic provides more freedom.

McCain will bring change. He will bring a much-needed revival to the Republican party after Bush fucked things up for it.

[In some ways, I wish I was American so I could vote in this...]

I agree that Obama is going to have a learning curve in that office that will be rough. He doesn't have a deep foreign affairs background. but if he can pick his cabinet and advisors well, he will be ok.

But I am afraid that McCain will rely too much on "how its always been done" and be even less open to rethinking failing policies. Even worse, I don't think the rank and file Republicans will listen to him once he is in office. My gut says he will be told to shut up an toe the party line. Despite an obvious backbone, I think unless it a public dispute he will give in to them. And face it, while his exposure to foreign affairs is first-hand, its also seriously limited. And unlike Obama, so is his experience with domestic policy. Its been pretty much what he knows of middle and upper class white America, and that isn't the majority anymore.

Neither one is someone I would really vote for. But its a better slate than the last several presidental elections. And anything is better than what we have now. (Dang - the village idiot is coming home next year! I wish someone else would take him - or maybe I should move farther north.)

Pretty much all of this. Well said TalnSG. They should look at the past before making future policies. Incidentally, I thought Republics were Democracies... XD.

But then again, Bush isn't all that bad. He's not as stupid as the media claim either. After all, how else would he have gained power...and twice?
