its becoming a pattern from the Rep. crowd...

Over at Bellum omnium contra omnes he's asking who to support Obama/McCain

"I am unsure who has the more realistic foreign policy. I see problems with both of them. Yet one of them is better because they have different points of view."

Since McCain is planning to extend the Bush foreign policy... since foreign policy experts were pointing out all the problems we have created in Iraq long before the war happened... I have a hard time with that statement...

One wants to increase the number of terrorists recruits via open and aggressive confrontation. Is willing to focus on an area that has no connection to Al Quedi (IRaq) and allow Bin Ladin to remain on the loose.

The other know we will only win with Ipods, Cell phones, and markets. That our allies will not fight with us... which we must have since Republicans have proven how weak we are militarily when it comes to occupation and domination until we begin talking sense on many aspects of our policy.

IRaq was a huge mistake for the "We can kick anyones ass" crowd. We've been fed our hat... things like this undermine our security since we are no longer talking tough with a big stick... but are bleeding from the hip and trying to run for cover...

Also it is worrisome that in McCain's camp there are openly authoritarian statements, disregard for civil liberties, disregard for human rights. That its our duty to condemn and destroy...

First to me thats unamerican when it comes to what our values are... at the very least my values. Your not going to ho-hum your way through violating civil liberties and accepting torture and think i'm not going to work to keep you out of office.

Now someone will respond with McCain quotes and say how these aren't mccains positions. But we've had 8 years where these kinds of people have been empowered by holding the presidency. I think McCains policies are bad policies... but even more so I don't want to empower extremest who support McCain and want to take on gods job for him. God doesn't need us to do his job... he can do it just fine...

I'm really glad to see someone looking at the real issues... I hope he doesn't leave it up to a coin flip... it does matter... there is a difference!
