No doubt... If Stalin had started invading Europe and Hitler took a less aggressive tact, we probably would have sided with Hitler.Spearhead wrote:

Obama's foreign policy isn't that different from Bush's. He's very much an interventionist.Spearhead wrote:
The only good thing about power is that people who have it cannot resist abusing it. After eight years of Bush and a GOP congress, now we've got a Democrat congress and the polar opposite of Bush. In every way possible.

That descriptor would inevitably have been used, but if you'd found a candidate who really was a 'maverick', which McCain wasn't, and who was young and strong enough to stand up for themselves, you might have had chance.
Disagree with him or not, McCain campaigned for Bush and voted for him twice. His own words.FEOS wrote:

How many times and on what issues has McCain broken with the Republican Party?
Answer the same question for Obama.

Quite possibly on the international community. The outside enthusiasm was because (let's face it) he's African-American.

Very true... I'm just saying that, as long as we keep getting involved in conflicts we don't belong in, we'll keep making enemies and racking up unnecessary debts.Spearhead wrote:

He couldn't distance himself further enough away from Bush if he tried.
The reason Florida went Democrat goes down to the fact how badly Bush reacted to Katrina, among other things..
It was absolutely about the economy. McCain had the stench of George Bush all over him.. 90%, 90%, 90% that's all I heard here in Fl.S.Lythberg wrote:
No, because to run as a republican means adopting the policies of the neo/theo-conservative groups that have hijacked the party, and that is what cost the Republicans the race.
It wasn't about Iraq, or the Economy, it was the fact that the republican party was essentially saying that an uneducated, ultra religious (Christians only though), agrarian society is the best kind, and that is not what we as a nation stand for or support. That is why they lost.
