President McCain or how I learned to put my head between my legs and kiss my ass goodbye.
I have decided to take a break from the primary wars and focus a post on McCain...

I heard something a few weeks ago on one of the network news channels. What I heard scared me. One of the talking heads said that they think McCain will get in and decide that he is too old to be a two term president. And that McCain knowing this will try to rid us of our enemies around the world regardless of what the public wants.

This got me thinking... McCain is different kind of War-hawk that Shrub. See, shrub is war-hawk for profit. It is all about oil, all about business with Bush's foreign policy. McCain on the other hand I think he is serious when he talks about "our enemies." I think he really thinks that we should take out Syria, Iran, whoever shows an inkling of threat. See, shrub will get people killed but he won't start WWIII because total global war isn't good for business. McCain on the other hand seems to buy into shrub's rhetoric. Don't get me wrong BOTH are WRONG and DANGEROUS. But McCain's views on foreign policy... my god.

I ask you , what if McNutjob gets into office and decides that he is the only president "brave" enough to do what he sees as "necessary" to protect America? What will he do? What wars will he start to "protect Isreal?" What if he buys into this "America is invincible" argument. This could be BAD!!!

1. Which is why John Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran McCain will not become President......
and instead, we will have a brand new shiny President and a multicultural approach to getting peace done.

3. The dislike of Obama is not as strong as the love - IMO - but Hillary voters will not
move 100% to him without Hillary on the ticket -

and he has made clear he wants nothing to do with Hillary on the ticket.

So a close race - and indeed perhaps a McCain win - but that is what Obama seems to want (the race closer than necessary because Clinton in not on the ticket)

4. I think Hillary brings more negatives to the ticket...
She will motivate the Repukes to show up. Obama will motivate them too... just not as much as she will.
