McCain's speech

[Nebe]

I agree with you Buckman..on all points. One thing about Carter though... I beleive he was Honest about everything he did and did not try to fool anyone by saying one thing and doing another(Saying Saddam was planning some horrible act agianst the US for example. Or saying he was not a nation builder and topple 2 governments.). Am I wrong about that?? I was a kid when he was in office.

A friend of mine posted this on another site.. I thought I would post it..

I don't understand how people cannot see the Republicans for the transparent liars that they are. McCain states that he is a maverick and will cross the aisle to get things done, but when it came down to the selection of his VP he caved to the pressure exerted on him by the evangelical right (in my opinion the most dangerous force in American politics). They, in fact, now hold his leash and that needs to be remembered when comparing the two candidates. Obama will make decisions based on what he thinks is the best for the country, agree or disagree with him. McCain will be forced to consider what the evangelical right wants in every decision he makes or face the party consequences. Make no mistake... evangelicals want nothing less than a theocracy and they think Palin is their ticket. They are already talking about 2012. McCain is very likely to be a one-term president if he wins.

Hillary vs Palin in 2012.

A very good point, Carter wasn't an effective leader but Bush has shown to be neither effective nor honest.

This Administration has done so much to sieze power from the American people and then pull a curtian around their activities. I'm a believer that a government for the people must fairly transparent to even have a chance at being effective.
