Frankly, with all the back-and-forth about whether Barr will take votes from McCain, I think it makes no difference because I suspect Obama will win by a landslide. He is everything McCain and Barr are not: young, dynamic, eloquent, and charismatic. Furthermore, a lot of people (including Republicans) simply will not vote for another Republican presidential candidate at this point, thanks to Bush.<BR/><BR/>I'm not saying I support Obama, obviously, but I do think no other candidate stands a chance against him, and therefore the belief that Barr will become a spoiler will be proven untrue. <BR/><BR/>Of course, I could be wrong.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the job hunt, by the way. The economy is so bad right now, thanks to Bush, that it seems many very well-educated and well-qualified people have fallen upon hard times.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893272060787897238.post-42395238597005074382008-06-20T07:55:00.000-04:002008-06-20T07:55:00.000-04:00I knew that would get a response. Lol. I do not ag...I knew that would get a response. Lol. <BR/><BR/>I do not agree with many of Senator Obama's positions (especially foreign policy, monetray policy, "reform").... I wanted to see what the reaction would be to posting this.... At the same time, I do not completely disagree with Keynesian economics and historically the democrats have been better at that than the Republicans. In fact, neither is an ideal system, neither can really produce the consitutional system. <BR/><BR/>I would like at some point to take an issue by issue discussion so we can parse out the McCain and Obama's platforms.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06556693043870733177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893272060787897238.post-37737371386797993402008-06-19T21:38:00.000-04:002008-06-19T21:38:00.000-04:00"Senator Obama's policies are a welter of pay-offs...<I>"Senator Obama's policies are a welter of pay-offs to corporate donors and an intent to move the US dramatically in the direction of State-managed capitalism."</I><BR/><BR/>A-f'in-men, Steve.<BR/><BR/>Those of us who hope for change know change won't come from hype disguised as hope.<BR/><BR/>The good Senator from Illinois is almost purely a fictional product of the media establishment that washes the hands of the corporate-statist establishment which chortles at the ga-ga mass following Obama like sheep.<BR/><BR/>Senator Barack Obama does not encourage the young and naive to think for themselves, but rather embodies and epitomizes a Hegelian dialectic of catch-phrased easy popular political trends mixed into a shallow highly-color-cognizant social milieu, e.g. "the historic black candidate".<BR/><BR/>Senator Obama's Democratic activist deliverers tossed aside the deeper (which ain't saying much) thinkers he routed in the primaries. Let's face it...Barack Obama makes Joe Biden look wise and judicious. <BR/><BR/>Those who really stood for what Obama claims to stand for (or what Obama would have us referentially intuit he stands for) know that he stood silent while those who really represent this view were made mockery and tossed (Kucinich, Gravel).<BR/><BR/>I don't want a president who is a "product", especially not of a corporate-media-politico echo chamber or of transient political times.<BR/><BR/>I want a president whose leadership best articulates by ACTION the only principles we can share for all time. JFK did. MLK did. RFK did. A few still do. Senator Obama does not.<BR/><BR/>He may represent himself, or be represented to the masses, as this but my assessment is that he operates in the world of pragmatism and power alone. Principle and sacrifice never entered the equation, but are built-in props we are led to accept as true.<BR/><BR/>I will support a person of genuine demonstrations of sacrifice for princuple versus one of false manipulative opportunism for advantage, every time.Tyler Nixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03009459340275592274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893272060787897238.post-76765928806850686912008-06-19T20:46:00.000-04:002008-06-19T20:46:00.000-04:00Sorry for reading.Sorry for reading.Drew80https://www.blogger.com/profile/17848576924497372868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7893272060787897238.post-17595815915623164402008-06-19T19:05:00.000-04:002008-06-19T19:05:00.000-04:00These proposed economic polices are not bad, in fa...<I>These proposed economic polices are not bad, in fact many of them are what needs to be done to move the nation and our economy forward into a global world.</I><BR/><BR/>Sorry, Brian, I've been working my way through the nuts and bolts of his economic, military, and education policies for months, and in terms of substance (I agree he is an eloquent speaker on the level of Reagan or JFK), Senator Obama's policies are a welter of pay-offs to corporate donors and an intent to move the US dramatically in the direction of State-managed capitalism.<BR/><BR/>Try examining the employment affiliations of this supposed army of small donors some time.<BR/><BR/>More to the point: how at this juncture can you trust that any position you see from Senator Obama will last even until November. He has just posited his THIRD different position on NAFTA, reversed himself on fund-raising, and has changed the details of his tax plans on his website throughout the primary season depending on the current major state he was running in.<BR/><BR/>More and more--as much as I admire him on certain social issues--Senator Obama is proving that "Change we can believe in" equates to "Changing his mind at the drop of a hat."Steven H.
