What to Make of Ignorant Presidential Candidates

[Alex deLarge]

One of the foremost pressing issues in our country today, is the war in Iraq. The presumptive nominee of the Republican Party is John McCain. Apparently this man wants to lead the nation and thus have a strong role in the outcome of the war. This will not only affect lives in that country and ours, but in the entire ME. There is a slight problem though....McCain apparently thinks Shia Iran is supplying Sunni Al-Qaeda in Iraq. He was then corrected by his great "American" friend, Joe Lieberman. What patriots and champions of freedom.

If John McCain isn't a Zionist tool, please lock this thread.

Not quite, but unforutnately it might be a surprise to most people who visit this thread. The fact of the matter is many Americans don't understand the role exterior forces/interest groups play on policy making.

If anyone, for a split second, thinks there is any substantive differences between the presumption Republican nominee and the Democratic runners up, they are deluded.

The supposed differences that they tout on "issues" such as social security, health care, immigration, are blurred at least by how similar their positions are, and marginal at best in terms of pressing "issues."

Yet it remains that none of the candidates address the issue of America's foreign policy and economic demise. Specifically:

• Around 700 bases in over 100 countries
• The trillions that these bases cost the American taxpayer to maintain
• The subterfuge that surrounded the fomenting of the Iraq war
• The fact that there was no Al Qaeda in Iraq prior to the American invasion
• The cost the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are costing to the taxpayer and this effect on the dollar and oil prices
• The Federal Reserve system under Bush I, Clinton, and Bush Jr., engaging in easy credit policies which fueled the dot.com bubble and then the housing bubble
• The effect of these artificial economic malinvestment and misallocation of resources and its effect on the dollar

And there's more. But this is just the gist of the problem and McCain, ignoring all this, is boldly declaring his intentions of a preemptive nuclear strike on Iran. The man is mad, pure and simple. A nut case. I hope he dies.

Yet another reference to John McCain's falsity regarding Iran and Al Qaeda.

These neocons will just do anything to continue the cycle of war and economic disaster. Woe is us!

All the candidates suck.

That includes Ron Paul, I hope.

No it does not include Ron Paul. If you are insinuating that Ron Paul does not differ from the other mainstream candidates, you should at least be prepared to back up your assertion. In fact, he's the only politician, and to a lesser degree maybe Kucinich, that differs from the pack of fat cat bureaucrats.

How is he a "mixed bag"? I'm sorry, I'm just trying to understand the angle you're coming from.
