Another of your good commentaries.
With Obama’s stated goals for our military those who sit it out or vote third party are truly stupid.
It was not my intent to insult you. You seem to have a contradiction in your decision and I was simply asking that you take a look at that, for your own benefit.
With the logic of Sowell’s reasoning and with what Obama has said he would do to our military in the face of these threats your decisions is not a wise one.
Good post. You’ve put in words what I’ve thought much about and have to agree with.
Very good post!
“Why does the VP pick really matter?”
If that person is conservative enough and accomplished enough, it sets them up nicely for a run in 2012 or 2016....and lets face it, Juan is a 72 year old cancer patient....just sayin’.
I cannot vote for McCain either. Just can’t do it. If he picks Mitt for VP I could vote the ticket. Otherwise I am going to support a few locals that are good and ditch a few that are terrible.
actually, you make a good point. I agree McCain is as likely a 1-termer as anything.
The vote is a blunt instrument of political expediency, not a statement of principle. That would be true even if you had to sign the ballot and have it posted on the internet. It's certainly true of a secret ballot.
The way the military works these days, I think a draft would harm rather than help it.
Also, any war with Iran would be quite short, even more so if we wait for them to acquire nuclear weapons and a means to deliver them.
I'll join in a microsecond as soon as they relax the standards and let fat middle aged guys with bullet proof glasses sign up.
I think you’re right....Obama will lose in a landslide perhaps unequalled in American Presidential elections——
this will be something to see, because it will all come down to Election Day, who will and won’t show up, and the result I predict will reveal just what a fantasy bubble this entire Obama candidacy was enclosed in. The bubble will burst for good on the day of voting.
Bob Barr changes that calculus.
