@Boundless Fury: my bad, did I not make any sense? crying

How do you folks feel about McCain's suggestion to freeze all government spending except military and veterans?

When we nearly spend more on our military than the rest of the world combined (48%).

McCain! Because Obama-socialism is just not cool... talk2hand


People really need to stop calling Obama socialist, because he's not socialist whatsoever.
I'm not american so i'm not gonna vote for any of them, but damn it's such a cheap trick to just say "oh god noes a socialist". I'm personally a socialist, but why is that such a frightening thing to some of you? I mean let people have their own political views, and if you're gonna against something atleast know what it is you're against!


He is a socialist. Just like the socialists that have been running France. They finally got smart and realized they couldn't afford socialism and elected a conservative to straighten things out (that would be Sarkozy). Socialism causes people to expect to be taken care of by the government without working hard to make life good for themselves. When people stop being productive the whole economy goes to crap, just like here in Europe. The few people who do work hard have to carry the load for people who won't. We don't want that in America. You can believe what ever you want, and you sure don't have to agree with me, but I should be able to have my opion too. That's called freedom of speech, we have that in America, and we don't want that to go away with the freedom to keep what we earn for working hard instead of having to give it all to the government.


"He is a socialist. Just like the socialists that have been running France"

Are you being serious?

"When people stop being productive the whole economy goes to crap, just like here in Europe."

The economy is crap in europe? That's a bit harsh, it depends on which country you're talking about, and europe is not just one big country thank you. Try to turn it around instead of thinking that people spend loads of money to the goverment and that's unfair, and that you could spend those money on yourself instead..there's just one thing. Everyone can loose their money, everyone can get poor, everyone can get sick, that why it's more comfortable knowing that the money you spend paying taxes, makes forexample education and hospitals free, so no matter what situation you end up in you always have something to fall back on.

"The few people who do work hard have to carry the load for people who won't."

Now again that depends entirely on the situation. Some people might be using the system in a bad way, but again there's also people who would have a hard time having a decent life without it.
I've got a friend who's handicapped and can't work, you wouldn't call that lazy right? She would have a hard time making enough money for decent care and being able to have her own apartment and have a normal life like the rest of us, if it wasn't for the goverment making sure she has enough money living for. You make those "lazy" people sound like a larger group than they actually are, at least in my country you have to spend a lot of time getting the permission to recieve money, and you're being checked on very often. And again, you could get sick or handicapped any day and where is your security then?


"you can believe what ever you want, and you sure don't have to agree with me, but I should be able to have my opion too. That's called freedom of speech, we have that in America"

And when have i ever said i don't support the freedom of speech? America is not the only country in the world that's got it...and how did that even fit into this topic? That was really a bit cheap.

All i'm saying is i don't mind people who dont support socialism, but atleast know what it is, and that being a socialist is not same as being a huge threat and a communist and so on. Get a more relaxed point of view on it, it's really not that scary. " We don't want that in America" - you can't speak for a whole country really.

Obama's already going to win unless McCain rigs the election somehow like Bush did.

How about we just freeze military spending?
I like having the interstate highway system, food inspections, and a postal service.

Sounds sketchy. Might need a few more exclusions from the freeze. But I like having a gangsta military.

Do you know what happens when military funding is frozen during a WAR? I like not having our boys blown the f*** up because they couldn't afford the tech they need.

Now, off to my actual point.

McCain is liberally prone--He voted with bush to get the supporters who have money to fund his campaign. Thus, McCain is NOT in fact GWB.

Obama is everything he appears to be--except a different kind of politician. Look up attack ads on McCain, and then tell me what you think of his "different kind of politics" and how he "gets past the distractions of the media."

And abortion is totally irrelivant; the states that will allow it will allow it, and those that ban it will ban it. Realistically, there'll be NO federal law either banning abortion, or forbidding its ban. Nobody's moving on this topic, so move on to more relevant matters like the economy, forgien policy (includes the wars, terrorism, Iran, Russia, ect), education, and so on.

LEARN TO SEE THROUGH THE POLITICAL JARGAN!!!!

Try not to have a biased view in the most important US election in history!

when you freeze military funding, it means you pull everyone back. Of course you can't completely stop it. Facilities still need to be managed, missiles gotta be guarded. But you can drastically reduce the expenditures if we at least got out of this war. And voting with Bush just to get support scares me. Votes ought not to be for sale. Regardless, he IS very much like GW in that he's very militant-based.
