John McCain, who has many nicknames like McNeocon, McRelic, etc., scares me because all he seems to talk about is this war on terror. A nice piece was on lewrockwell.com today, and the article by Robert Dreyfuss is somewhat disturbing because it seems McCain would take this war on terror to a new level, which is quite costly for us taxpayers and it does nothing to endear ourselves with the rest of the world. From the article:
"To combat what he likes to call "the transcendent challenge [of] radical Islamic extremism," McCain is drawing up plans for a new set of global institutions, from a potent covert operations unit to a "League of Democracies" that can bypass the balky United Nations, from an expanded NATO that will bump up against Russian interests in Central Asia and the Caucasus to a revived US unilateralism that will engage in "rogue state rollback" against his version of the "axis of evil." In all, it's a new apparatus designed to carry the "war on terror" deep into the twenty-first century."
You can read the rest of the article here. Scary stuff.

It is for the democrats to allow McCain to win. Insane for the republicans to field McCain. But Ron Paul will be at the convention, as long as he is in the race there is always a chance. Although Ron Paul needs an attitude change.
From today's news
"Stock markets fell sharply at the opening bell as Wall Street reeled from a stunning series of weekend developments that confirmed investors’ worst fears about the fragile state of the financial industry."
It is concerning, the country will have inflation. On the other hand
"The Commerce Department reported today that the deficit in the current account dropped by 9 percent last year to $738.6 billion. That represented a decline from an all-time high of $811.5 billion in 2006, which had been the fifth staight record."

People with money will bail out and do well. The rest of the working class will be the jack asses. Just like Enron except this time the ones with their retirement plan on the line will be the American public.
Are we so dumb or what?
