Contradict much?
There is no difference in McCain policy and Bush policy. Thats not fear, thats fact son. I don't have to say it, people are already scared of it.
That must be why one of obamas latest ads uses footage from the last debate when McCain said he wasn't Bush.

In fact, I urge you to find one congressional race in the entire country where the democratic canidate doesn't link the republican canidate to Bush, whether it be showing a picture of the canidate next to Bush or showing what percentage of the time they voted with Bush.

Get real. The only reason the democrats are in office right now is entirely because of fear tactics.


Wow. Contact me when you get back to earth and we'll talk.

I agree... using fear sucks... It does baffle me that because everyone hates Bush so much... they are giving a pass to a really inexperienced guy that has ideas that are known to slow down economies and not create new jobs...

  I think McCain is an honest guy...it's his campaign advisors that are asking him to do the dirty things and you can tell he feels uncomfortable doing them...     and after living through 76-80 with Carter... it sucked... lol
If this were the 2000 McCain, it would be a very close race. I agree, the RNC is in his ear and he has abandoned his own persona. That makes him a sellout.

You can blame Bush and 6 years of Republican Congress for Obama getting a free pass.
Yet you can't see that this country is about to vote in exactly the same situation with a Democrat Congress and Obama?

Change = back to 1976-1980.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
But take comfort when it all goes to hell after Obama is elected you can blame democrats. Its in no way the fault of failed Bush policy and incompetent irresponsible leadership (lack of maybe).

Republicans had their shot and blew their load. Democrats turn.

I'm not apologizing for supporting the intelligent candidate.

I would say it's the Democrats that vote for Obama.

But, somehow, I still think the liberals here would read what you wrote as "It's Bush fault!" for that too.

LMAO.  It's Bush's fault we're electing Obama!

That, in a nutshell, describes what the political scene in the USA has devoled into.
Emotionalism and finger-pointing that rarely has any more analytical basis than "Attack other side - find evidence to support presupposed idea"

What's the point of this topic? All it seems is everyone blaming everyone else for situations that haven't even happened yet. The guy hasn't even won yet.

It seems you people just like to talk shit for no other reason other than you want to talk down on someone else.

The electorate who doesn't investigate any further than sound bites. Those who look at immediate issues, rather than longer term strategic issues. Politicians who are more concerned about consolidating party power than doing the right thing.

Why would I blame Obama for something he inherited? That's a liberal tactic. I'm a realist.

I'm saying there never should have been a situation (for more than two years, anyway) where a single party controlled both the Executive and Legislative branches. We've seen nothing but bad come of that...regardless of which party it is.

And again, you can't point to which issues he agreed on and which he didn't. You can't do the same for Obama. You can't point to a single piece of legislation where Obama went against his party.

Shall I find a youtubube video of Hilary and Biden bashing Obama during the primaries and then show you how they've changed now? It's called party politics you tool. They're all guilty of it.

Still doesn't change the fact that you didn't even attempt to address what I wrote. And hell, that video only further proves my point.

Let's see - realized more than anyone the Carter Doctrine regarding Middle East policy - which has had direct negative implications since Reagan left office; ballooned national debt; supported the Taliban's rise to power in Afghanistan; needlessly expanded Carter Doctrine-esque policy to Central Asia; expanded bureaucratic government by about 5%; supported positive relations with a number of ruthless dictators, including Saddam Hussein...I could go on.

To quote Andrew Bacevich, who uses neocon Norman Podhoretz-type reasoning, "Reagan-era exertions undertaken to win WWIII [the Cold War] inadvertently paved the way for WWIV [Global War on Terror], while leaving the United States in an appreciably weaker position to conduct that struggle.

You think he was a good Pres?  Tell me why.

'coz he killed da soviet you-nyun!

It's funny you mention the "meeting with foreign dictators" ploy as well...the same people who says Obama's a fool for wanting to meet with leaders of nations like Iran and North Korea think Reagan was a godsend..

Don't forget about reversing the economic collapse handed to him, the boom of the 80s-early 2000s, end of the Cold War, deregulation of telecommunications, travel, and other key industries (NOT the financial industry, btw).

Don't worry about all that stuff. Just focus on the non-tangibles.

I won't worry- because Spaulding asked me why I thought he was a horrible president.  That's why I quoted his post - I thought it was easier for other people to see what/who I was addressing.

Non-tangibles? 
The PC and technology revolution - and said boom (which Reagan was not responsible for; if anything it was WW2 and immediate postwar spending that led to that) stimulated the economy, not Freidman-championed tax cuts. 
Reagan contributed to the end of the Cold War by outspending the Russians, that's about it.  Bad Soviet management of assets, land, and differing ethnic groups led to the end of the Cold War - they were more responsible for their own downfall than Reagan. 
Telecom deregulation happened under Clinton, Airlines under Carter.

I see. We're supposed to limit our responses to only those directed at us? I'll remember that next time.

Post war spending? Forty years later? Get real, KJ.

Reaganomics was the marker after which the wages of the US workforce became almost entirely decoupled from productivity and became essentially stagnant.
