McCain, the neocons, and constant war
This article that appeared on antiwar.com states, and I believe it is absolutely true, that John McCain is another George W. Bush and will invade Iran. At a minimum, he'll order massive air strikes against them to "teach them a lesson." He's scared me throughout the last year, and every other phrase out of his mouth is "extreme Islamic radicalism," or something similar. As bad as a Democratic president will be, with socialized medicine, they will be less likely (we hope) to attack or invade Iran.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Barack Obama blamed Washington and his Democrat and Republican rivals for the nation's economic woes today, one day after racking up big primary victories. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton courted Texas voters, counting on the state to help her faltering candidacy rebound.
"We are not standing on the brink of recession due to forces beyond our control," Obama said in excerpts of a speech at a General Motors plant in Janesville, Wis. "The fallout from the housing crisis that's cost jobs and wiped out savings was not an inevitable part of the business cycle. It was a failure of leadership and imagination in Washington."
On Tuesday, General Motors Corp., reported the largest annual loss ever for a U.S. automotive company — $38.7 billion in 2007. The loss largely was due to a third-quarter charge related to unused tax credits. Separately, GM was offering a new round of buyouts to 74,000 U.S. hourly workers.
Obama offered a litany of problems associated with Washington, where he has been a senator since January 2005.
"It's a Washington where politicians like John McCain and Hillary Clinton voted for a war in Iraq that should've never been authorized and never been waged — a war that is costing us thousands of precious lives and billions of dollars a week" that could be used on infrastructure, job training and health care.
Obama scares me a hell of a lot less than McNothing.
sounds to me that instead of electing candidates for their qualifications the media has its own agenda.
Chronicle endorsements
McCain: The most experienced
Obama: Inclusion and cooperation
or maybe these are the best the country can produce.
