McCain = authoritarian .... Obama = negotiator
Edited on Sun Aug-17-08 12:37 PM by grasswire
Those were the ingrained personal traits of the two men displayed Saturday night.

We liberals may all value a negotiator more than an authoritarian.

But if the election turns on national security (as it usually does when the Republicans start their fearmongering and sabre rattling), a good portion of America will want a decisive authoritarian, and they will remember the clear distinction the candidates present.

We'd better hope the campaign has this covered in VP choice.

1. Authoritarian is good if you are prepared to offer up your life and your treasure
Otherwise you would rather have a negotiator.

3. remember, it doesn't matter what WE think
Because WE can't prevail in the election without centrists and moderates.

2. McCain is an authoritarian Obama which is essentially a negotiator?
Didn't you learn about using two "=" signs on the same line in math class?

Just teasing of course :)
