I just finished watching 90 minutes of the first Presidential debate. Thank God I had some alcohol and was able to chat on-line at http://www.unitedliberty.org/614/the-match-at-ole-miss-presidential-live-blog/ while I was listening. It was almost amusing watching the two Candidates pretend that they represent a choice or that there is a significant difference between the two.
Neither one of them seemed to know a freaking thing about the economy. Obama claimed that it was all of George Bush’s fault and we need more government regulation. How scary. McCain was slightly worse since he didn’t even really answer the economic questions and told a story about an old pen he carries with him. Not one word was said about the federal reserve, artificially low interest rates, fractional reserve banking, or fiat money.
Foreign policy was even worse. McCain talked about the troops begging to stay in Iraq and let them win. What a bunch of crap. The majority of soldiers I know couldn’t wait to get out of Iraq and said it’s big waste of time being over there. Obama seems better on Iraq than McCain but he is a neocon none the less. He said something about projecting our power all over the world! Both candidates think it is our responsibility to decide who gets nukes and who doesn’t. We need to tell other nations how to behave as if they are little children. There was no talk about non-intervention or bringing our troops home. Instead we heard talk about Iran possibly blowing up Isreal and having another holicaust. Even though Israel has the military power and the nukes to blow Iran off the face of the earth. Apparently we have to deal with Russia and possibly China too. All of this talk after hearing about cutting spending! We can’t manage and empire around the world, have all of these entitlements, and cut spending. How ludicrous! If anyone believes that they are seriously very stupid.
I can’ t really say that I was disappointed or even surprised. I have known for many years our election is really more of a selection. It’s a false choice. I hope everyone checks out the third party candidates and doesn’t waste their precious vote on McBama. It’s time for all American’s to stop thinking about left and right and thinking about right and wrong. If you vote for the lesser of two evils you are still choosing evil! (more…)
