  • Rip our constitution to shreds in the name of "Security" - the reality is that more people die in car accidents in a single month than died in 9/11. Maybe we need a war against bad driving?
  • Take Cronyism to a new level - the former head of the Arabian Horse Association for head of FEMA? WTF?
  • Conflate religion and morality, while at the same time, demonstrating some of the same behaviors they are condemning (Larry Craig, the congressional Page scandal, etc.)
  • Condemn drugs they can't control, like Marijuana, while they let a pharmaceutical drug epidemic, via OxyContin, Xanax and Adderall - the last of which is basically cocaine for kids, flourish. Drugs are basically legal, so long as you have to buy them from a connected pharmaceutical company and can't grow them yourself.
  • Lastly, (and I could go on and on) - crack down on a group - online sports bettors - in an attempt to simultaneously condemn an activity that the religious right doesn't like (except when it benefits them, as in Bingo), and placate their donors (the LV casinos, the sports leagues)
Ill take a guy who has a funny name over these same crusty people who've been in Washington and been licking the boots of whomever will pay them the most any day of the week.

If you want more taxes on your wealth - via devalued currency, higher oil prices - because alternatives that would threaten the established interests are strangled in the crib, and less individual freedom, because too much of that would make people harder to control - then by all means, vote for McCain.

Trying to decipher this......

So, let me get this straight Barrack is a better choice because of the issues, of gambling, legalized marijuana, you feel over securitized in a world of extremist, religion, cronyism, and the fact that he is going to do a whole lot for the devalued dollar and the high price of gas.

You are definetly a idealist, you may want to wake up from that nap because your dreaming if you think B.O's policies are going to make the dollar stronger and bring the price of gas down....both the entire fault of the current adiminstration... ....Since he has no policy on these two items, I am not sure how he will achieve this objective, but I digress....Are you a conspiricy theorist as well? Sounds like it. Your correct more people have died in car accidents than did 9/11....why do you think that is.....well there were only so many people in the buildings at the time they went down. Do you have any idea how many terrorist attacks have been foiled since this unneeded over securitization, how many lives have been saved from Terror? Car accidents are a natural occurence based on the fact that everybody drives, terrorist attacks would be a natural occurance without over securitization and if you think they would not....time to check your pulse because you took one to many Xanax. If your hot buttons are weed, gambling, and cronyism you are definetly the kind of person I am glad is on B.O's side. Please "go on and on" I need to see how this story ends as there has to be more substance to your argument than drugs and bingo
