Title: I’m beginning to think McCain will be less dangerous to my freedom than Obama

As a realist I know either McCain or Obama will be the next president, and although I won’t be voting, I’m coming to the conclusion that McCain will be less of a train wreck to my personal freedom than Obama.

Obama, like McCain, offers endless war, so their foreign policy is a draw. In fact I give points to McCain for his honest 100 year comment. Obama’s nutty obsession to hunt down al Qaeda, a creation of the US government, was all I needed to know about his foreign policy. His speech to AIPAC was the cap stone.

On the domestic front, both are awful, but Obama is much worse on guns. His dalliance with Black Theology is equally bad news. One look at the over animated Jeremiah Wright should be enough to convince white America that an influence like him will bring us additional layers of affirmative action, political correctness and slavery reparations. And did I mention Michelle Obama? She reeks of nasty and racism. The only plus Obama would bring is a potential white backlash, which is long over due.

There's lots more, but this is a starting point.

Let the discussion begin.

So, you're not just a purist non-voter? You're actually an active promoter of rapacious corporate criminality, freedom-extinguishing police-state thuggery and mass murder for fun and profit?

JT, you've gone over the bend, my friend. Have you had too many years of beating darkies down for the man in NYC to overcome your apparent auto-gag- reflex towards the prospect of a black president? I can't figure out any other reason why you could possibly support the continuation of the current criminal/fascist regime.

As for your "analysis", it's fantastical.

1) Obama has promised to get our troops out of Iraq within his first 16 months in office. This sets him apart from the McCain/Hillary Bush/Clinton duopoly. He has taken heat from the warmongering media over this, but he has not backed away. Score 1 for Obama.

2) Under Obama, the war is less likely to expand. Unlike the McCain/Hillary Bush/Clinton duopoly, Obama has emphasized talking with rather than obliterating Iran. Score 1 for Obama (and humanity).

3) Obama has decried the police state fascism of the McCain/Hillary Bush/Clinton duopoly. Under Obama, Gitmo (and the black site torture centers) are more likely to be closed, and fundamental rights restored. Score 1 for Obama.

These three reasons alone are enough to make Obama far superior to the fascist freakshow that is the McCain/Hillary Bush/Clinton duopoly. But you want more of the same? I guess fascist tyranny is OK for you just so long as the darkies are kept down (along with everyone else) in the process.

Looks that way.

I think he only wants to have an interesting debate on the merits of the 'lesser evil' theory.

1 - Some say that 'the three' are 'equally evil' and don't bother to go any further.
2 - Some would support one (usually Obama) because he is 'the lesser evil'.
3 - Others - and Ron Paul and me are some of the 'others' - state that Obama is marginally or significantly better than the other 2 and that he is not 'less evil' but 'better' than the other 2.

Those who belong to #2 should find this discussion interesting.

It is also worth noting that the #1 crowd refuse to admit even the existence of #3, claiming that #3 are in fact #2, which is consistent with their inability to see any difference between 'the three'.

To conclude: this is a good debate for the #2's but, I suspect, this is also an attempt to reinforce the false dogma that #2 = #3.

I don't see his position that way at all.. You really can't place anymore onus on his opinion that you can an Obama or Hillary voter. All 3 are the same, Obama much worse on the domestic side.

If you are voting in self interest, you choose the one you think will do less damage. That is, IF you are voting. He says he is not... That's they way this is coming across to me.

I have said before, if it were that McCain were somehow selected, would the 'democrats' get mad enough to put the pressure on their Congresspeople to stop the war? Dems have had a chance for two years to make it happen, and anytime they can shove more debt, laws and middleclass destruction down our throats. They have wasted their time on steroids in baseball, establishing special recognition for a wrestler, frittered over the lunch menu.... Little or no attention to the huge iceberg coming our way with entitlement spending, and returning war vets, and their care. They have done nothing to stop the outsourcing of jobs, or the flow of illegals.. All want to create as much damage as fast as possible.

So, if McCain gets in, what would dems do? As I have read before, if you want an indication of what a person will behave in the future, look at how they have behaved in the past. Obama has a crappy record. Hillary spends her days thinking of being queen. I imagine how much hell she could raise if Obama became president.

Anyway, do not take this an endorsement of McCain, but rather a repudiation of the whole rotten game.

All we really have to go on, is dems raise taxes and have promised to end the tax cuts... while adding more taxes upon us all. All the rest.. the wars, the rights, the foreign nuttery will continue unabated. So, give me less taxes. Anyone that thinks there hasn't been enough sacrifice for this farce can certainly send the government a little more each month to help them get by. I know they'd appreciate it.
