Vanquishbb knows about McCain. What he says about McCain is not going to get you voting for the oven chip. Or that Obama bin Barak bloke, either. Hey, Americans, don't forget the third candidate, will you?

Silly boy, not me.
There is apparently a Libertarian candidate, but whoever it is gets no reports in the press, as the candidate is presumably too interested in freedom to be allowed in by the people who really run America.

Ron Paul, I think, who is also in favour of unrestricted guns and virtually no taxes plus other positions I personally find difficult.
Also Ralph Nader is running again, but neither of these have even got a lib-Dem type chance of winning.
I never idolise any candidate, though sometimes vote - and if I were a US citizen I'd certainly vote for Obama. Ok, you wouldn't but I have to say I find you turning his name into Osama, bin, etc distasteful - unless you believe he is in fact a closet Fundamentlaist terrorist, and I have missed the post documenting this-

Ah, that's not so good. I thought he might be a sensible libertarian, and didn't know he was a gun nut.
I don't idolise any of the politicians any more, if I ever did, and I see what you mean about the deliberate mis-spelling, which at this time of night seemed funnyish, but since none of them have remotely come close to even talking about what actually Needs To Be Done (copyright of a Mr Trotsky) I see no need to be polite about them. I'm not important anyway, so I doubt if they have even noticed me taking the p...-

Fair enough. I said, I don't idolise either. I (in my case, just a humble ex anarcho-leninist - old joke) have many misgivings about Obama's politics, although I'm impressed by the intellectual energy of some of his supporters.
What needs to be done, my friend - will it be ever done?-

Well, given the size of the Universe, I suppose it isn't all that important should we arrive at Hades by hand-cart...

There is a suggestion that aspects of his past have been airbrushed - his early education when he was enrolled as a Muslim in a school in Indonesia, for instance. He's also been caught lying about the experiences of some of his relatives. I don't for a minute though think he's a fundamentalist.
Time will tell about his use of violence in circumstances which amount to terrorism, if he's elected. If so, he wouldn't be the first US President who'd done that. -

...basically George H. W. Bush was the head of the CIA. Give me a break, how many people were assinated under his reign, and his son, formulated the "Bush Doctrine", attack before you are attacked, or before you are even thought about being attacked, would be more like it.
Nader is the real reason we are in Iraq, his butt went down
to Florida, and got 96,000 sleepwalkers to vote his egotistical, fundamentally insane behind. Now here he comes again. With the country falling into Third World status, it may not be a bad idea for Obama to lose, the people will get what they deserve. Possibly a man who has the gall to chose a Miss Alaska runner up to be his running mate, while he has PTS from the prison camp crap, and who is suffering from dementia, because he can't remember what he said last week, and claims the fundementals of the economy are strong one day. and that we have a terrible crisis the next, bail out AIG, one day and don't bail it out the next. He really thinks he is entitled to win ,as did Mrs. Clinton, because they are running against a bi-racial man. McCain's campaign is turning into the Tower of Babel, as did Mrs. Clinton. Tally ho!-

...totally or perhaps worse. Washington Mutual went under on Thursday, Lehman Brothers went down on Monday, AIG is in deep
...., waiting for the next shoe to drop, even with the loan, Wachovia is looking for a merger fast, credit has been frozen between the banks, loans to businesses have dried up, a huge car dealership closed up, no payroll money. While Congress dilly dallies, because the leaders decided to title the bailout money "Wall Street Bailout", who wants to bail out Wall Street? Instead of letting the masses know, that this crunch was going to hurt them the most, no they tick off the people while Rome burns. Monday morning had better bring a passing of some kind of bill, or a 500 point drop in the Dow is going to look pretty good. Take care. -
