Well Lisa nobody can accuse you of keeping your opinions all bottled up. But don't you realize your angry responses, and generalizations mark you as being much like the people you so despise.
I didn't hear the speach you refer to but what John McCain said is actually true, at a fundamental level there is NOTHING wrong with our economy. I don't know how old you are, but I myself am just old enough to remember the end of the Carter years and we don't have any of the problems they had back then, there is no double digit inflation, interest rates are nowhere near the high teens, and the unemployment rate has been around 5% more or less for the last 15 years (a lot lower then it was back then). In fact in every measurable category we are in far better shape now then we were at that time. I won't even mention the great depression because the comparisons would be absurd. What John was saying is that there is nothing wrong with our economy that we as a country can't fix. Basically it's another way to say, "The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself." The difference is that when FDR said those words there was a whole lot more than just fear to worry about. But given your defense of JFK earlier in this thread I'm sure you believe that FDR saved the country and made the free world safe for a generation.
Frankly I don't care what other countries think about us. That might be myopic on my part, but that's the way I feel. I'm much more concerned with what intentions other countries have towards us then what they think of us. The world is filled with people that don't like us very much, some of them with nuclear weapons. I don't believe that Obama is going to make them like us anymore then they do now because he isn't going to change the fundamental nature of this country or the world. I do strongly believe his weaker stance, on defense and terrorism is likely to invite attack from those who hate us and are waiting for a vunerability to present itself.
Actually 50% of this country is below average intelligence. And people with average intelligence aren't very bright IMO. So yes it's very easy to believe that half the country is stupid. That is irrelevant however as over half the country doesn't even vote. And of those that are left there are lots of people who vote for one party just because their parents did, and their grandparents did, etc, etc. Then there are plenty of people who vote on only one issue and disreguard everything else about a candidate. These people vote on nothing but gun control, or abortion, or gay rights. Which leads me back to point of my first post. Why hate repubs, McCain, or Palin over a single issue. Even the candidates aren't that narrow in their focus, as Sarah Palin proved when she chose to sign a bill granting spousal rights to same sex couples that worked for the state of Alaska.
Finally anybody that thinks John McCain or Sarah Palin is a George Bush clone, or a Dick Chenney clone just because they have Rs next to their name hasn't really examined the facts or their voting records. Whatever happens in this election I promise you it won't be four more years of anything. McCain is his own man, as is I hope Obama and whatever course either man charts will be their course, and not George Bush's

If the republicans truly stand for what they have been saying for the last ~7 years, then you can not only expect, but predict, republican control would translate into eroding what little progress we've had in this country.
The dems may not be about to make things easier, but the rep's certainly are eager to make things HARDER.
Worse, they know that using lgbt-hating as a distraction worked in 2004, now that the theory has been proven, I'm sure they'll return to it whenever it would bring similar tangible results, be it elections or not.
I really don't know how else to explain it.
And maybe its easier to withdraw from life
With all of its misery and wretched lies
If we're dead when tomorrow's gone
The Big Machine will just move on
Still we cling afraid we'll fall
Clinging like the memory which haunts us all

Personality doesn't mean anything, it's the actions you take, for if someone gauges something soley on it's chosen personality of the time, then that's simply unwise.
