Ohhh, a political thread! McCain may have the experience, but he is also 71 years old and judging from the debates and his record he is lacking sorely in many areas that will be very important in the coming years. Specifically, his foreign policy is detestable and he knows very little about the dynamics of the current conflict the US government has us in, often confusing the very important distinction between Sunnis and Shi'ites. If he gets in, we're never leaving Iraq and it will likely expand to Iran, which would then see us fighting a proxy war against China/Russia and the eventual collapse of the US, etc... On the economic front, he is worse than sophomoric. Aside from that, he has proven time and again he will say whatever he needs to say to get votes. No principles and no integrity whatsoever. I also think he is off his fucking rocker. Clinton, to me, is like McCain, only with softer rhetoric and boobs. Her polices are the same old shit only with a new paint job. Her alleged qualifications aside, I hope American's simply have had enough of the dual family monarchy that has ruled our country for roughly 28 years. Time for some new blood. Obama may be our best shot, and if he wraps up the Demoblican nomination, I think he will be our next president. I like about half his proposed policies, but being a small government minded individual, I have major reservations on that front. He is the [i]most [/i]likable on foreign policy (with what little we have to go on) and some of his ideas for modernizing the bloated bureaucracy (re: IT upgrades) are very good. That said, I am very skeptical of him and will continue to be because any candidate who has the backing of most of the major corporations who run our media is definitely suspect. Part of me wants to say that if he is the real deal, there will be an assassination attempt before long. In the end though, I would definitely take him above the other two. At the very least, he is seemingly a very good leader and does a hell of a job motivating people, which alone can turn the tide of a nation. For better or worse would remain to be seen. I really would have liked to see someone elected who would have turned the system totally upside-down, it needs it, which is why I was all for a Ron Paul presidency. Did not agree with the man on a few of his domestic plans, a little overboard, but president's who follow the Constitution don't get very far in that area without the support of the legislative branch, so no worries there. However, his foreign policy was just what we needed and he may have been able to put the brakes on the surveillance/police state that has built up around us over the past decade. We would have definitely seen a restoration of posse comitatus and habeas corpus, two things the Bush admin have stolen from us. He also has more integrity in his little finger than the 3 aforementioned candidates combined. Not well spoken or good looking enough for the celebrity worshiping general public though. Second choice would have been Kucinich, a little kooky, but I like the man. In short, I have to agree with reisio: [quote]FWIW I don't have much faith that either Clinton or Obama would do the kinds of things that really need to be done (though I do have faith McCain would do far worse).[/quote] All just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Another 4 years, another propaganda induced selection. [quote][b]Poi: [/b]Agreed with WebShaman, although I'm not that optimistic in the US people. [/quote] Neither am I. As far as the article, I didn't read it, I was just looking for an excuse to rant. ;) Ram [small](Edited by [url=http://www.ozoneasylum.com/user/1866]Ramasax[/url] on 05-20-2008 04:43)[/small]
