Well, I don't engage in that because I personally have a great respect for fighter pilots and war veterans. Dropping the first wife and marrying the younger rich chick, I don't know, to me it doesn't seem all that bad really. <BR/><BR/>I go for Obama because I think we desperately need a change, and that's what he's promised.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-5587148203540392552008-08-25T18:40:00.000+02:002008-08-25T18:40:00.000+02:00Just to argue on Mike's Side, I've got to say that...Just to argue on Mike's Side, I've got to say that McCain's involvement in McCain Feingold and McCain Kennedy show definite facist Creep...granted the other halves of those bills are Democrats LESS Athoritarian than Obama.<BR/><BR/>Of course I see Obama as a total rookie-fool who reminds me deeply of our current Govenor Deval Patrick, who has done nothing but mishaps, blunders and public apologies for almost a full year now (and he started breaking campaign promices three Weeks BEFORE he was inaugerated!!!) This debauchery has caused the nearly all Democrat legislature to fight AGAINST him on nearly all issues, leaving the state in gridlock....this has been GREAT, seeing as no liberal laws are GOOD liberal laws...and overall while govenment hasn't shrunk here...it hasn't grown.<BR/><BR/>McCain has spend the majority of his political career playing with Democrats in Washington and bad-mouthing fellow republicans (The last 2 years excluded) I can see that his running against Obama and IMHO likely winning will burn his bridges with Democrats in Congress, and the Republians never had much for bridges with him anyway....so for Mac I see gridlock as well....not great, but good enugh end-result for me.<BR/><BR/>McCain I can't really trust who he'd pick for Supreme Court Justices, but with Obama I CAN trust him to pick people I'd hate.<BR/><BR/>Because of that I'll be voting for McCain and then getting fall-down drunk that eveing....maybe starting as soon as I get home from the polls in the morningWeer'd Beardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528978001340070552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-83061668811350615582008-08-25T17:22:00.000+02:002008-08-25T17:22:00.000+02:00I think it would be slower.

McCain is less fascist in inclinations than Bush, judging by his voting records.<BR/><BR/>Also, he got to be a jet pilot, war hero, saved people in a carrier fire on the USS Forrestal, AND he married a pretty rich girl who's family owns breweries and beer distribution concerns. Shows good judgment in my book. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-38330079053731396192008-08-25T14:35:00.000+02:002008-08-25T14:35:00.000+02:00Dear Mr. Principle, thanks for the comment about e...Dear Mr. Principle, thanks for the comment about expecting continued fluctuation. Kudos to you for predicting Biden over at your site.<BR/><BR/>Thomas, I'm with you on that creeping fascism. It's bad news. I know you don't go for Obama/Biden over their gun stance, among other things, but don't you think the creeping fascism would continue unabated under McCain?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-42097210595399192552008-08-25T11:24:00.000+02:002008-08-25T11:24:00.000+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Il Principehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002800517118623115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-3294347194302026462008-08-25T11:23:00.000+02:002008-08-25T11:23:00.000+02:00Mike,Don't give up on Obama and the American peopl...Mike,Don't give up on Obama and the American people just yet. The polls are going to fluctuate by a few points every few weeks, but barring any major scandal by either candidate or some other geo-political event like an attack on US interests or an attack by the Bush admin on Iran, the polls will stay the same. Expect to see a bump after the Dem convention this week, followed by another bump and contraction for the McCain campaign after the GOP convention.Il Principehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002800517118623115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-7628293761088693052008-08-25T00:36:00.000+02:002008-08-25T00:36:00.000+02:00If people thought about it, who's run the GW show...If people thought about it, who's run the GW show?

I can see veep picks being a boon for a candidate showing something...ie if McCain chooses Lieberman it may make him appear more bi-partisan, or Sarah Palin shows that he respects the republican base and what youth brings to the ticket....or Mitt Romney or Rudi Giuliani just to remind the base how much of a fascist and how much he hates us.<BR/><BR/> : ]<BR/><BR/>Also Congrats on finding stats...once you start pouring over number charts to find a story underneath you'll never turn back!Weer'd Beardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528978001340070552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-18786117661918362862008-08-24T18:03:00.000+02:002008-08-24T18:03:00.000+02:00Not the pick of people like me:Exhibits A through ...Not the pick of people like me:<BR/><A HREF="http://www.ontheissues.org/2008/Joe_Biden_Gun_Control.htm" REL="nofollow">Exhibits A through Z.</A><BR/><BR/>With the Patriot act in place and this just coming out of the Justice Department:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/21/washington/21fbi.html?_r=3&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&ref=us&adxnnlx=1219414643-OCAAqnRU0fG4TWw7FvnsgQ&oref=slogin" REL="nofollow">More creeping fascism.</A><BR/><BR/>You are going to see a <B>lot</B> more single issue voters regarding firearms rights and right to dissent from the status quo.<BR/><BR/>People like me and our supposed merry gang of three percenter of the lawful firearms owners that would give the FBI and BATFE our ammo back one round at a time pay attention to these sorts of things.<BR/><BR/>McCain looks slightly safer.
