I got a ticket to the John McCain rally here in Toledo tomorrow at noon-o-clock. Dare me to yell “STRING UP THE MUSLIM AT THE OLD HICKORY TREE?”

I’m not living through the presidential ad campaign like most Americans, but just looking at the articles popping here and there, I can see both sides giving each other exaggerated or twisted accusations, playing with images, and avoiding the essence of many of the heavy problems.

Obama’s claim of benefit cuts suspect

I just saw the entire debate. Man, these debates are pretty fun. I can see who they are intending to reach, it’s a vision of divided America with its various degrees of knowledge and concerns. Obama played the clear factual game, McCain kept sticking to a few slogans. With this, McCain won’t increase voters, he’ll just have the same old ones. And meanwhile, America as a federal republic needs to be reformed from its fundament. America is divided from its foundation. If 40% are the free enterprising or judeo-christian type, and the other 40% are the fair chance / law & family/friends is the value types, then American politics is dictated by the swing 20%. Basically amounts to a federation of 2 leagues of country, united by a voting system determined by the minority swingers.

Oh, and at this point, I’d vote Obama. Growing up in Europe, Obama’s ideas are common. McCain is so “American”, which is legit for America.

I’m worried about Obama’s foreign policy though. Pulling out of a divided Iraq and putting more money in tribal Afghanistan, and toughening attacks on the terrorists in the Afghan-Pakistani border area… Diplomatic problems are too often reduced to matter of economics and military, with over-expectation on the democratic process.

I hope Obama won’t end up negated like Clinton:

Obama’s continental state economics sounds fine enough in a time of economic crisis, but once that’s over, will he revert back to the “usual” American state economy?

I guess the best choice is to be born in Europe, and succeed enough to have a home in the States also. Then you’d have a good social security, and also free enterprising opportunity, hehe.

As awkwardly as it may seem, having a double standard social security system sounds very reasonable, and yet, it’s so hard to maintain. Scandinavia seems to work thanks to a controllably low population alongside their culture of correctness, or something. Tough challenges…

yeah, i was getting mad at mccain several times during the debate. obama would say something, then 3 seconds later mccain would say obama believes the opposite. i was like “is he deaf or just crazy?”
the pro-abortion thing is so crazy too. i don’t understand how anyone who claims to be pro-life could support mccain. obama is the only one with a real plan to reduce the number of abortions. mccain just gives the issue lip service to appease the conservative base. and how could someone claim to be pro-life and support the war? they need to call themselves either anti-choice or pro-fetus.

You know how upset I get about this particular issue, but I am still just in awe that he even said the words “pro-abortion.” If anyone would be pro-abortion, it would probably be McCain. He seems like the type to gleefully kill babies and you know, eat their flesh….all the while calling himself a maverick.
