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.

McCain on the other hand would be supported by the GOP in his amnesty efforts.

Yep. If a Democrat does it, the Republican talking heads will call it amnesty (which it is), but if one of there own does it, they'll call it sound conservative policy.

Like I said before, Obama + GOP Congress would be the best way for there not to be any trouble.

And I'm not saying that Obama is better on the amnesty issue, I am only saying that Obama can't get away with it - and McCain can.

According to Wikipedia:

McCain has acknowledged engaging in extramarital affairs upon returning from Vietnam. While he was in Vietnam, his wife Carol had been severely injured in a car accident. Due to the accident, she had become 4 inches shorter, gained weight, and had to use crutches to walk. Soon after his return in 1973, McCain began engaging in extramarital affairs. In 1979, he met and began an affair with 25-year-old Cindy Hensley. A year later, McCain sought a divorce from Carol and a month after that, he married Hensley.

He may not have much of a mind, but the old guy sure has made sure he has treated his penis better then women who stood by him while he was a POW.

It probably won't stop the old fraud from talking about "family values." Why should it, if being one of the Keating Five hasn't stopped him from talking about corrupt campaign financing.

I need to google up some old GOP quotes about how extramarital affairs disqualified you for the office of President.

If I recall correctly, Newt had some beauties.

Of course not, but AA uses color as a factor in the selection process, and with that comes unintended consequences. We'll never know what contributions to society were never realized b/c a black was given preference over a more qualified white.

Of course it is reverse racism, and as such it is just as bad as the class discrimination practiced by the Republican elites.

Who knows how some well qualified white middle class kid might have performed if McCain or Bush's wealthy and influential families had not leveraged these two flunkies into the middle class kid's rightful position - rightful meaning merit based.

Every time an unqualified rich kid gets in on daddy's coat tails, a well qualified kid without the blue blood connections gets bumped.

And not only did a qualified white, middle class kid get bumped by Bush and McCain, but these two worthless clowns didn't even value the position they took from the qualified kid. Bush and McCain spent their time getting drunk and basically failed when the opportunity was offered to them. They took the opportunity away from a more qualified person and then wasted the opportunity.

While there was justification for Affirmative Action in its initial years in order to break down the barriers to equal opportunity its continuation has become nothing more than another "racial spoils" system.

It is my firm belief that its continuation is hurting black Americans by tainting the accomplishments of those who have achieved through ability and merit.

All that is now required, and would be the most beneficial for black Americans, would be a strict enforcement of EQUAL Opportunity and the prevention of racial discrimination. All Affirmative Action is doing now is fueling resentment against black Americans.

As well Welfare has been one of the biggest crimes committed against black Americans.

It is. As an example, if given the choice of choosing between an unknown black or white doctor/lawyer, I'll opt for the white doctor/lawyer. AA puts doubt in my mind, and this is unfortunate but reasonable given the unintended consequences of AA. Sorry for the brutal honesty, but I know I'm not alone in my thinking.

Obama is a freakin' politician. Do you really believe everything he says?

But then Ron Paul is a statesman, not a politician.

My opinion is that McCain is every bit as destructive as Obama is, but he tends to hide it a little better. But don't misunderstand me, please. I don't blame McCain or Obama for "seizing" power. They are in the positions they enjoy because of many generations of manipulation this country has endured, abuse that is accelerating.

Arator, personal attack aside, your points above are based on promises and hope offered by a politician.

Ah, the audacity of hope. ;^) McCain, on the other hand, promises globe-wide conflagration, which is no hope at all. When faced with such a choice, I'll choose hope everytime.

You know better, but his race alone is the reason, IMO, that you have looked past his 9-11 beliefs, his promise of an expanded WOT against al CIAda, and his love of large central government (read socialism).

"Expanding the WOT against alCIAda" is really shrinking it, since it will be coupled with a massive withdrawal from Iraq. I suspect the former is only to provide Obama with political cover for the latter, and prevent the GOP jackboots from painting him as weak on "national security". It's a tactical manuever to facility a strategic withdrawal. That's a wise move, IMO.

As for love of central government, both parties share it. The difference is this: under McCain trillions stolen from taxpayers will end up accumulating offshore (ie. in the accounts of no-bid defense contractors HQ'd in Dubai), whereas under Obama they might actually get spent and earned by real flesh and blood Americans here in "the homeland." If we have to stomach big government either way, I prefer the kind that spends our tax money on Americans living in America, not overseas corporate pirates.

Obama's race has nothing to do with it. If a white Dem (like say, Jim Webb) were running with the same anti-war platform, I'd be supporting him as well. I think you would too. So, why not Obama?

Except you can't very well argue that Obama is anti-war. He's got Zbigniew Brzezinski on his team, and he's already said what he would do in Pakistan, Iran, and elsewhere to keep up the good work of the Zionists. He's been to AIPAC and oathed his fealty to the Jews.

He's just less aggressive about being pro-war than the others have been, more or less. But the audacity of hope is endless, I know.

Do you know anything at all about Brzezinski?

It’s funny you mention “The Audacity of Hope," because his book doesn't offer hope. He calls for a "revised foreign policy that matches the “boldness and scope of Truman's post-World War II policies” -- “one that addresses both the challenges and the opportunities of a new millennium, one that guides our use of force and expresses our deepest concerns.” Hello?? WTF does that mean?

Obama's campaign should carry a warning: Danger! Foreign policy under construction

* Obama has suggested that bombing Iran to stop its nuclear program would be an option in his presidency.

* He’d shuffle *combat troops* (leaving other troops behind) from Iraq to Afghanistan to hunt bin Laden and al Qaeda

* He warned Pakistan's president, Musharraf, that if he didn't take out terrorists in his midst, President Obama would. "If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will"

* Israel is “sacrosanct” and will be defended from all foes.

* He’s called al Qaeda on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border’ a bigger threat than in Iraq. These 'terrorists' go in an Obama administration.

Add all this together and you have in Obama McKook on steroids.

So tell me again why this domestic socialist is a foreign policy saviour?
