I think McCain's speech was a joke

As a disillusioned republican, one who knows that the last several presidents who ran on the "fiscal conservative" label ended up expanding the government and sending us further into debt, I'm willing to give the democrats a chance rather than continue to pretend that a third tier candidate like McCain has any idea what to do about the world at large. That is not to say that Obama is the best candidate for president, but I believe he has more control over his mental facilities and bowels than McCain. I also believe we need to dump the military spending back into the United States coffers, and bring our world police force back home.

I believe that 90% agreement with Bush was verified by the non partisan factcheck.org. So it's the truth. 

"Here my OPINION of John McCain. The guys old and all he and the republicans did was bad mouth OBAMA and had no policys of their own and Palin WTF they go on about change when her husband works for BP!!!! yeah she's really gonna get coruption out of the white house......NOT! . I think its funny that americans dont want to pull out of Iraq because they think it would turn the country to mud....ummm but in 2003 the same people were blood thirsty for iraqi men, woman and children. And why did you bomb Iraq because they wouldnt let inspectors into their military barracks...what if saddam came to America and said "i need to look at area 51 i think your hiding something". did you see the bombs that hit baghdad they were noway co-ordinated in any way. YOU went into Iraq you stay AMERICA, you cant just commit genocide, get the oil and leave. If your country doesnt vote for OBAMA you cowboys dont deserve a good President...period."

BoG, why don't you tell us what's wrong with it? Sure, some of it is exaggerated/misinterpreted, but he rasies a few good points as well. 

"Oh, so we can juggle two wars at once??? I don't think so.

If we pull our troops out of Iraq too quickly, it may bring more harm than good. And THEN we'll have another war to worry about. It's ridiculous."

Sorry BoG for bringing the world view of america into this blog.......NOT!!!!!!!

I speak nothing but truth and you know it, it just pisses you off that you have been lied to by your govt. for the past 7 years.
I got nothing against americans (apart from the ones in the cowboy hats) just your govt. but hey the people put Bush in there in the 1st place or did they put Al Gore in there but Bush is in there ahhhhhhhhhhh......i dont know what im against now.

Heres to a fair election.........yeah right.

Could you even tell what he was trying to say? I know I couldnt.

Except forthe whole 'leaving Iraq' thing, which is so incoherently written that I had to read it three times, the rest of his points can be summed up in the tactful phrase 'lol amerikkka'

"Here my OPINION of John McCain. The guys old and all he and the republicans did was bad mouth OBAMA and had no policys of their own arguably, neither did Obama. Both of them gave vague overviews of their plans. They really don't want to give their plans away so early in the campaign. and Palin WTF they go on about change when her husband works for BP The republicans can't bad mouth OBAMA, but you can bad mouth Palin's family?!!!! yeah she's really gonna get coruption out of the white house......NOT! What makes you think this? What makes you think Obama will?. I think its funny that americans dont want to pull out of Iraq because they think it would turn the country to mud Turn the country to mud? The nation is split on the issue. Most people don't actually care about pulling out for the sake of Iraq, but because of the billions we are spending on the war.....ummm but in 2003 the same people were blood thirsty for iraqi men, woman and children. Really? And why did you bomb Iraq because they wouldnt let inspectors into their military barrack ...what if saddam came to America and said "i need to look at area 51 i think your hiding something". Just read that last sentence again, everyone. I don't need to say anything. did you see the bombs that hit baghdad they were noway co-ordinated in any way. What? YOU went into Iraq you stay AMERICA, you cant just commit genocide It's genocide now? You're comparing the Iraq war to the holocaust? To Darfur?  get the oil and leave. If your country doesnt vote for OBAMA you cowboys dont deserve a good President...period."

He called us all hypocrites and said we don't deserve our space on the earth, from what I could decipher."

"we've let the republicans fuck things up 8 years running, I say we give the democrats a chance to fuck things up for awhile"

Yes, because as we all know, Republicans run the majority of the government. . . .

Wait! The Senate AND Congress are both Liberal majority AND have a lower approval rating than even Bush, who doesn't have a grain of power compared to those two institutions! *gasp!*"

"Just like Vietnam and Korea, it was all a combination of testing out US Military Technology and/or resources. It had nothing to do with WMD's. That's been well established already.

No, ripping out of Iraq wouldn't be the best thing to do. Not that we'd ever bother setting up a working government anyway. It'll descend into civil war and corruption no matter what."

Are you serious? That has got to be one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. The US did not go to Vietnam, Korea, (or Iraq) to test our military technology. It was all hysteria from communism and the US's Containment policy to keep communism from spreading and to keep the Soviet Union's global influence to a minimum. This here is borderline conspiracy theory."

Not really. Every 10-15 years a good 3 or so year skirmish pops up. A long enough drought that the US seems to feel obligated to fill out by testing its new innovations in real combat. It's perfectly logical. Think about it- Hysteria from Communism. Hysteria from WMDs. Hysteria over whatever. It's just a simple cover."

Sorry, sounds more like conspiracy theory bs to me."

There was a series of checks of balances between the three branches implemented in when our country was founded. While you could argue one actually has more power than the other, to say "doesn't have a grain of power" (still has veto power) compared to the legislative branch is just a gross exaggeration, just like the abortion comment.

The President has no power compared to the Senate and Congress. The President can declare martial law. . . .and that's all he can do with his own authority.

See the Wikipedia article "Powers of the President of the United States"

Those are the powers that the government officially gives the President.
