Donnie,I echo that we are not trying to gang up on you. I am just trying to convince you that the position you have taken is just as bad as voting for Obama would be. I respect your right to support whoever you want and believe whatever you would like. Hell, I went to war for those rights. It just saddens me to see someone get so angry and disillusioned at the current mess in Washington, and it is a mess even a disaster, that they voluntarily withdraw from exercising their right to vote. That is not what the founders envisioned when they designed this great republic. A choice to not choose is still a choice.
Our first Commander in Chief since James Buchanan who went AWOL ( to Las Vegas) in a crisis and who could be charged with dereliction of duty.
We need a president who understands we are war with Islam. Obama certainly doesn't, and neither would Ron Paul.Anyone just look at Drudge? Univ Texas, Univ N. Dak evacuated (70,000 students) and a threat at Valparaiso. Muslim protestors at the US embassy in London are burning American flags. How does the Obama/Clinton amateur hour and Paul's isolationist stance help us?
McCain is a reactive warmonger. He wants to arm the Libyan rebels…the same ones who hung an al Qaeda flag on our embassy. He should just retire.I want a president who isn't afraid to use a destructive "shock and awe" bombing campaign as a warning. Or at least a president who isn't afraid to issue a warning like that. If reports are correct I like that Obama ordered, along with the British, an armada of ships in the Persian Gulf. But this whole thing is typical. The Democrats make a total mess of things, then when a Republican president has to declare war, he looks like the bad guy.
The problem is not the particular politicians, it is that we no longer really wage war, we play at it. Decisiveness ended for American war-making in 1945.Regardless of who wins the election they will continue to stumble along in the Middle East because the actions needed for a real decision in that troubled region are politically impossible.
I'd rather we pull out and let them have at it. If they threaten Israel we start launching nukes and be done with it. The Islamic world is lost to us. The sooner we face this fact the better off we will be.

Finally, something we sort of agree on. I am all about pulling out and letting them get busy killing each other. However, and there is almost always a however, unless and until we develop our own energy supplies we have to care about those turds. If we were to really exploit the known fossil fuel reserves in the US we could, lower gas prices, increase employment, and disengage from the Middle East while securing our own energy needs into the foreseeable future. Then the only thing we would need to worry about is the security of Israel and we could let the wider Middle East rot. I am all with you there.We are not going to make little Westerners out of backwards Muslims. It is just not going to happen and the sooner the West realizes and accepts this the better.
I think it's more important we realize they hate us. Appeasement and nation-building doesn't work (haven't the last 10 years shown us this?). We need our respect back. Large bombs would do that. I still think severely crippling Iran would solve a lot of problems for us, Israel, and Europe.And I'm not saying bring back imperialism, but bring back imperial strategy with government and other things like the British did.
What do you guys make of Romney's 47% won't vote for me anyway remark?I don't think it will make a difference because he is right and anyone that thinks about it will realize he is. This election is going to come down to the 6% of people in the middle.
I love how the MSM tried to make a big deal out of it using words like shocking and jaw-dropping. I hope he says more about this. I hope he asks the American people, “who is sick of giving away your hard earned money to sloths?”
Not my original analogy but –The media is like the referee who blindsides the QB, trips the running back and wide receiver, and calls penalties against one side while ignoring more flagrant dirty plays committed by HIS favored team.
