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.

I will continue to say all possible to pursuade others never to vote the marxist gun-hating, war on drugs continuing, world- taxing, affirmative action loving, amnesty giving, reparation-loving, Farrakhan hugging, give your money to the rest of the world, white-hating, black panther forgiving, he'll close Gitmo but leave in place and expand other police state legislation so people love him on one issue, married a racist bitch, amoral Obama anywhere near the presidency.

Yep. I don't like him either. Despite the rhetoric from his supporters I don't think there is a hill of beans difference in any of the three.

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?

Check out my blog, America, the Bushieful.

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?

#125. To: Arator (#122)

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?

what i'm asserting is that it's not Obama's race/color for most (if not all) here, but his leftist radical politics and adherence to the Black Liberation Theology. switch Ron Paul and his politics for Obama and Obama and his politics for Ron Paul and i believe we'd all still be getting along here.

what i'm saying is that i think that the majority of 4umers would be in agreement and supportive of Obama if he had Paul's politics/ideologies and the same holds true if Paul were black. i don't think, then, the race card would have been played on either side.

of course, JT is correct. were this the case, as far as MSM, both candidates would be a non-entity.

I still see this as an overused cheap shot. Can we now talk about why he should've run 3rd party, started a new 9/11 investigation, why he can't win ?

That's where the weak and frauds resided.

I have no problem with what Jethro said. At least he provides some reasoning. The ophiles never explained why they spun a 180 from RP to the Otrain.

So as long as we are trying to apply a standard, let's decide where the bar is and apply it to all.

Ron Paul disappointed me because he said he would campaign to the end if he got support. I figured that when someone like McCain got the nomination so many Americans would be disillusioned that they would look for an answer and Ron Paul would be there. It's not a cheap shot to be frustrated about his lack of energy and commitment to the race, despite numerous speeches to the contrary. But this past decade has been one political disappointment after another, nothing new about that.

To prefer one of these puppets is to let the Establishment have one foot in the door.

You are implying that the 3 assholes are alike in every way. That just isn't true. They are not exactly alike. No human beings are. So naturally we will all have varying degrees of like and dislike for the 3. Yeah Ron Paul is better in our opinion. But if you are honest with yourself I bet you dislike some more that others.
