Back to the Point...

After three straight Obamamania posts lets get back to the stuff that really matters...namely, that John McCain is a cantankerous, petulant, ignorant, arrogant ass-clown...and I say that with all due respect to the honorable senator. I'm already sick of his "I'm John McCain...I am moral and honorable and upright and can't possibly be wrong so fuck you and everyone else" attitude.

Remember John McCain's reaction to Obama's criticism on the GI Bill? He responded to Obama by politely pointing out that Obama had never served in the military so he couldn't lecture McCain on something he knew nothing about, as if honoring our troops and rewarding them for their service is something only reserved for veterans.

As for his proposal of vetoing every bill that has pork in it...well that policy justs proves how dumbshit ignorant he really is. In 2006, $29 billion of federal spending was designated as pork barrel spending by Citizens Against Government Waste. The federal budget in 2006 was $2.7 trillion . The deficit in 2006 was $500 billion. You are so fucking dumb! Pork barrel spending accounts for 1% of federal spending and 5% of the deficit. That is your best idea to balance the budget? Dude, you suck.

I have a better one...We spent almost four times as much on the war in Iraq ($101 billion in 2006). End it.

Even worse is the fact that John McCain obviously has no fucking clue what pork barrel spending really is. Pork barrel spending occurs when lawmakers seek government contracts, grants, military bases, etc. for their districts. The fact is, our nation contracts out thousands of services every year. Unless John McCain wants to socialize every industry that interacts with government at all, pork barrel spending is the only means of divvying out government money. Otherwise, how else are we going to decide who gets the next critical intelligience analysis software contract, how are we going to decide who gets the next military base? If you didn't distrust bureaucracies so much, they could play a larger role, but your such an ignoramus that even that wouldn't meet your standards.

Worst, John McCain, you are the most disingenuous politician this side of Mitt Romney that has ever ran for the Presidency, despite your claim to the straight shooter label. Face it, all you care about is the war. You don't give a shit about every other issues that you talk about. You deify the private sector and preach a modern day laissez-faire economics, but you don't understand a lick of economic theory. I mean this guy literally said the following in a debate when asked about his understanding of the economy..."obviously we have to do something about the subprime...the, uh, subprime....the subprime...uhhh....the housing problem." Your so retarded about the economy you don't even know what to call the current downturn. You criticize Obama for adherence to failed ideas, but your health care plan is the most tried and tested policy between you two and guess what: in every instance, in every way, and according to every scholar this side of the Hoover Institute your ideas are miserable failures.

You speak about appointing strict constructionist judges in the mold of Roberts and Alito, code for appointing judges that appeal to the religious right. But the fact is, John McCain, you once called the leaders of the religious right agents of intolerance. All you care about is power, all you care about is the war. All you UNDERSTAND is the war.

Did you watch his speech on Tuesday night? I did. It was a a long stream of insults and attacks on Barack Obama. There was not a single mention of what John McCain stood for and policies John McCain will implement. I mean seriously, do you think John McCain has ever had an idea? Do you think John McCain would ever turn to his advisors and say, I know what you all say, but I think your wrong, this is why and this is what we are going to do. Do you think John McCain even understands future medicare and social security insolvencies? The answer to all these questions is a resounding no.

Of course, all of this was said with all due respect to an American Hero, whom all Democrats truly respect...we just wish you weren't such a dick.

First, Your definition of Pork Barrel Spending in not entirely correct. Next, How is it that liberals have spent the past 8 yrs dragging Sen. McCain all around with them touting him The Voice Of Moderation, now suddenly he is George Bush all over again. Republicans were ready to show the guy the door he had a more liberal voting record than some Democrats. Not to mention the number of times he has worked hand in hand with Democrats to get legislation passed.

I would also like to point out the fact that Sen. Obama DOES lack experience in the field of foreign affairs. That is not a criticism, but a fact. He has only been in public office since 1997 and form 1997-2004, it was The IL State Senate, He has only held a national office for 8 years, where he is not a ranking member on a single committee. As Sen. McCain was a POW and you cannot begin to suggest that after that he WANTS war. No one wants war. Moreover, Nobody that has been a POW wants to but another soldier in a position to become one.

I do not think Sen.McCain attacks Sen. Obama, he simply points out the difference between them. It is a fact that Obama lacks experience(I Believe he calls it Change). I heard many people congratulate Sen. Obama for winning the nomination and for being the first African-American to do so. I also heard Sen. McCain congratulate him on a well fought race and not because he was black. Because it is not about race, it is about who is the best leader for the US. Who can do the job. Perhaps the media should STOP pushing the fact that he is black and start covering the issues.

I would like to know, How do you believe Sen. Obama is going to "change" the country? What experience and policies is he bringing to the table that lead you to believe that HE is the man for the job?

I am not looking to fight with you a debate of the issues is great, but please, stick to the facts or at the very least, back your name-calling up with some.
