You're right, McCain will not leave this war. If we are to believe him, this war will continue for the next 100 years.
Wow journey, your staunch conservativism (or should I say blind conservativism) is pretty surprising. You demean any effort to end the war by concluding that it is "cut and running". You talk about appointing judges who will uphold the constitution when your hero, Bush, has made a concerted effort to appoint judge's who want to overturn Roe v. Wade. The reality is that, if you were having this conversation 50 years ago, you'd be discussing the need to overturn Brown v. Board of Education and upholding the fallacy of "separate but equal" philosophy.
Your argument is full of unsupported conclusions. (1) To my knowledge Obama has not raised any proposed extreme health care reform like Hillary, (2) SOCIAL PROGRAMS DO NOT EQUAL SOCIALISM. There is a big difference if you can see past your party line.
You now blame the war on Saddam (not terrorism as was your previous arguments). However, Saddam was captured in the first year of the war.
What is false about my concerns about the economy? Are you so biased that you don't see the conditions of employment, the US dollar and the $250 per month that every family is required to donate to the war effort?
As to your comment about my desire to have a republican or democrat president, you clearly have so much blind faith in Bush that anyone who challenges him must be a democrat, or a socialist. I'm telling you that you would have loved the 50's... you'd probably have a front row seat to the McCarthy hearings. Not that it matters, but just so you know, my opinions on various issues extends through the spectrum of conservative to liberal. I am smart enough that I don't need to label myself "democrat" or "republican" and support candidates accordingly. I have voted both ways. However I disagree vehemently with the mistakes of our current president and I also disagree with McCain's philosophies. So, if it is easier to call me a democrat or communist, than to open your mind to criticism of "your party leaders" then go ahead. That's ok with me.
The silly idea that a dummycrat is going to get us out of iraq is simply foolish. You're telling me that Hussein Obama is going to leave, or Hillary Clinton. Can you imagine the republican hay day when they say, the democrats lost the war in Iraq after Bush was winning.
You blind liberalism, supporting socialist idealogy of the democrat party ignores the last 70 years of democrat principles and policies FAILING. Lets look at two of the most liberal areas in the United States, Michigan, and Louisiana, here liberal policies have run for decades unchecked. And by your own admission Michigan is in a recession. Louisiana espcially New Orleans was a cesspool of crime and poverty. My friends from LA brag about their politicians corruption!
How long will be waste money on the "War on Poverty" and other failed social programs. And now we have 2 democrat candidates, who have no experience running anything much less a country. They both advotate "universal" healthcare. Clintons, is pure socialism, Obama's is so full of holes it won't work unless he totally socialises it.
And don't get me started on what I think about McCain. Or Bush and the "freeze". I'm going to have to make enough money to buy my own island and not pay any taxes, because if I don't I'm going to be paying 70% taxes and watching the "poor" of america buy a bigscreen with my money.
