* I don't expect everyone to know history. That said, it does seem kind of silly to attack someone's point when you later admit you don't know anything about it. The original point is absolutely correct; reparations after WW1, among several other issues with the Treaty, sent Germany into an abyss.
*The McCain is a clone point is just inaccurate. Again, history shows Obama is "more of a clone" to the Democratic Party. Is it fair to say he is a Carter Clone?
You ask "Why not Obama?" Here is why:
*He has stated he will cut our military's budget; including R&D spending
*He wants to socialize major industries in our Nation, including energy and health care.
*He will appoint activist judges to the SC.
*Based on his associations, his cabinet picks, appointments, and other staff will be a disaster for our Nation.
*He has no experience with budgeting
Hitler would've done what he'd done regardless of what happened after the WW1 treaty. He was into religious genocide. He believed all races besides German were inferior. Reparations had absolutely nothing to do with his mindset.
OK, so Obama is true to his party. You compare him to Carter? Good one. Look, Republicans will vote their party regardless because they will always feel the Democratic Party represents Socialism and taxes. However, you really won't know if Obabma's views will follow that line or not. Republicans are already complaining Bush and McCain are moving away from the conservative views of the Party, even showing liberal tendancies. If McCain does get voted in, what good will he do? If the Democrats have the majority in both the House and Senate, none of his policies will get passed anyway. It'll be a wasted two years at least.
Cut the military budget? Good. Maybe if we'd had that trillion in our own bank account, the economy wouldn't be in the dump it is today.
As many of you screaming about how the banks, insurance companies, and
[hr]
lenders have been screwing up for the last few years, maybe letting the Government control them wouldn't be a bad idea. Couldn't be any worse.
Better activists than someone who'll try to overturn Roe v. Wade, force religion into schools, and take who knows what other personal freedons away from us because of their ultra-conservative viewpoints.
And McCain does have experience with a budget? Again, Bush clone. Look at what Dubya's done for this economy over the last 8 years. You think following the Republican ideologies will change that?
