here is what I have right now. If there is an easy way to shorten it, let me know.

P.S. - Sorry Barr-haters, either ignore the fact that I choose him or don't post please. Thanks, I don't want this to go way off into a topic about why people hate Barr.



Americans need to wake up, take a step back, and look at who they have as their choices for President. John McCain and Barack Obama will almost certainly continue the downward spiral of this country. How can one vote for someone that will carry on a reckless foreign policy, extravagant spending, and consistently backfiring acts of government intervention in areas the Constitution intentionally does not even allow it?

Deciding to cast a vote between McCain and Obama is nothing more than deciding which way you want America to fall apart. One will threaten unstable yet innocent nations (Iran and Pakistan in particular), one will bring "change" at home in the direction of a policy that has already proven to fail throughout history (hint: not capitalism), and both promise to significantly increase spending at a time where numerous cuts in unnecessary government intervention and programs is a must!

Why not look to someone who does not corrupt himself or herself with special interests and greed, does not make vague or unconstitutional promises, and does not make arguments with generalized rhetoric and deceiving attacks?

If you want the change America actually needs, look no further than the Libertarian Party. Libertarians on ballots throughout the nation, such as our presidential candidate Bob Barr, want to be in office to return America to its roots of small government, no foreign empire or unjustified wars, true Capitalism, and Constitutional law.

Until America wakes up to the need for an alternate party, people will continue pleading for change and allowing themselves to be deceived election after election.

I'm quite sure both are for socialism (both voted for the bailout) and both have threatened Iran and Pakistan and all other countries that don't bow to our controllers. Both also support the UN Global Carbon Tax if I am not mistaken.

I can't argue with you on that, but people not as educated would. But McCain is on a whole different level of insane foreign policy from Obama. Obama will probably be more reasonable and diplomatic, while McCain practically wants a reason to go to war. I don't think Obama will take the stupid actions that would provoke other nations like McCain would. The same type of thing goes with McCain on economic policy, I don't think he'll accelerate us toward socialism like Obama would.

That's not saying Obama's foreign policy is alright or McCain's economic policy is alright, I'm just pointing out the worst parts of each. Like I said, people not as educated would be less likely to be turned away if I said McCain was socialist or Obama is too war-hawkish because a lot less people believe that.


Any other comments?

sratiug's points are the same I would make. Maybe you would be better to put the focus on the fact that they are basically the same on most major policy issues. The difference between McCain's foreign policy and Obama's is that McCain came right out and said we'd still be in Iraq whereas Obama is exploiting the peace vote until he's elected.
