Okay then. Show us how they're different. Go on and point it out, because the nation wants to know.
McCain used to be his own man, and that man I could have supported if I had to. But that man is in a hole, held hostage by his ambition. The very ambition which hired the same assholes who said his foster daughter was his illegitimate daughter to knock him off the ballot on 2000. Fairly sad don't you think? McCain listens to whomever has his ear at the moment. You want someone like that deciding domestic and foreign policy for the nation? You want someone who can choose a VP pick at the drop of a hat without vetting the candidate and without caring if they are qualified, just to 'energize' their 'base' or religious nuts? 'Country First'? No my country, bud. Not MY country. Š

and when exactly in this thread did i say that they were different? that's right, never.
you speak so derogatively of McCain's ambition like it's a terrible thing. the point of entering an election is to win....and during that period all politicians change their positions many times and pander to certain groups in order to pick up votes. (yes, even your candidate does that) McCain has been a member of congress for 26 years now, and there were many many occasions when he broke ranks with his own party or leaders of his party and took an opposing stance on an issue. Obama on the other hand was first elected to congress in 2004. As of today he hasn't even served 4 years yet, not one stinkin' term. And how many of those 4 years have been spent running for president? By any stretch of the imagination he has almost no real experience, yet you want someone like that deciding domestic and foreign policy for the nation? Because he was against the war in Iraq first? That's it? When did he reach across the aisle to work with Republicans, and what gives you hope that he will in the future, because he says so? McCain's actual deeds have proved his willingness to work with the other side. the only thing different about your candidate is the color of his skin. that fact alone almost makes me want to vote for him. unfortunately, everything else about him is the same old bullshit, so i must repectfully decline. and i certainly don't harbor any ODS. |

that's good enough for me.
it was the most significant foreign policy decision in a generation - only one candidate had the foresight and the judgement to see it for the fiasco that it would become. moreover, the other candidate continues to defend and support what has become the greatest policy failure of the Bush administration. the choice is obvious. |

ok, you might have to clarify on this BDS business..
I guess it is going to have to be 'brain dead' something? Brain Dead Software? Battlefield Data System Borland Developer Studio Bridgestreet Accommodation, Inc. Brindisi, Italy British Driving Society (carriage horses) Broadcast Data Systems Brownian Dynamics Simulation Bundle Delivery System Bundled Digital Services possible match? |
