You think McCain won’t do the same? I’ve noticed that the people supporting McCain… are outside of the age bracket for a draft. While it’s understandable that there *may* not be a draft if McCain is in office, the war in Iraq will certainly continue. Would you rather deprive this country’s economy trying to help another country? Or would you much rather try to set this economy back on its feet again so that we have a better capacity to help? A war is not what our economy needs right now, and I’m fairly confident that we will hit a depression with or without Obama.

Another discrepancy people make about the presidency: Peoples’ desire for the president to change the economy and the president’s de facto/de jure power over the economy is a paradox! The president has very little control over the economy; it’s the Federal Reserve you should be concerned with for the economy.

But Republicans… don’t despair… it’s like a pendulum. Things will swing back your way in a couple years.

For that matter who do you have more respect for, the woman who’s son is an active duty combat soldier in a frontline unit, or the man who’s son is a National Guard JAG REMF in the Green Zone? It reminds me of the story about making a bacon and eggs breakfast. The hen may be involved but the pig is committed to the breakfast. Obama has already said he intends to gut the military and use the money to build himself a national homeland defense force the size of the military. Exactly where in the Constitution does it give him that authority? It doesn’t. For those who have observed that Obama’s style has a distinct resemblance to Hitler, they should recognize this as the beginning of an SS type organization. Hitler was a big fan of gun control too. At the Gun Rights Policy Conference that I attended recently, there was a LOT of discussion about Obama’s saying he supports the 2nd amendment while doing everything he can to destroy it.
