Fair enough, but at least we can say that now they have a shot at building a succesful (relatively) country. That certainly wasn't the case when the Taliban was in charge. I suppose it depends on what your defination of successful is, because with the Taliban, something resembling the...

Yes, pebbles and rock it's been since the Russians and Taliban squared off decades ago. And it probably will stay so for some time. I really don't think it's anyone's responsibility to make them a successful country, other than the Afhganis. That is their problem. We gave them some...

Please explain how Obama is more ready than Sarah Palin. Both are roughly the same age, both have fairly short political experience. Please list all of Barack's accomplishments: 1. 2. 3.

Wait, I thought it was liberals that hated personal responsibility. You know, blame everything on "big oil", the pharmaceutical companies, rich people, Bush. No, I'm very succesful and quite secure and happy with my life.

Yes if Obama wins, an action like that would probably go unchecked. If Pelosi would allow it, Barack might ask the UN if they could impose some serious sanctions and start negotiations with Russia over an invasion of Alaska.

Yes, the hand where terrorism festered, unchecked under Clinton and culminated in 3,000 US citizens dying in 2001. We've slipped in Afghanistan because we turned it over to a "multi-national" force, just like all the good liberals ask for with every conflict. Don't worry, after we've...

Please explain why Obama and McCain are deadlocked in the polls right now. Why did Obama pull out completely from Florida and Virginia in advertising? I can't guarantee you a win from McCain in November, but it's you that is naive if you think Obama has this one locked up.

That fact sure helps me sleep better at night. We have 5% of the worlds population and 25% of the wealth. We kind of need a strong military or another nation(s) will eventually want some of our "stuff". I want to keep "my stuff", don't you?

Yes of course it's "borrowed money" that's what debt is. Of course we'll have to pay it back in the future or inflate our way out of it. Either way, it's not going to be good for young people. Military spending is actually a MUCH smaller percentage to GDP than it has been historically. I...

Come on brock, it's an internet forum. Spelling errors are the norm.

Nice! I like that one.

Ya think so? Then why has Obama ducked McCains call for several town-hall debates? Instead, Obama only agreed to three debates. Mac wanted much more. The reason is that Obama, delivers great speaches, but he doesn't do nearly as well in debates. And I'm not talking about Democratic...

Where does it talk about universal health care int he constitution? If everyone knows McCain can't win, then why is he tied or ahead in most polls right now, when any Democrat should be up by 10+ points? At best it's dead even right now and Obama has historically over-polled. Look at the...

If Mac wins, he'll have no other choice than to veto like crazy. The dems will bring so much rediculous spending legislation, it won't be funny. Also, after what Bush and the Rep. congress has done in this decade, it's the only chance they'll have to not lose the party all together...

She's not any less qualified or inexperienced than Obama, and she will at least have 4 years of grooming before having her hand on the trigger. Good choice, in my opinion. She is a fiscal conservative, which is something that most Republicans aren't

There are definately a lot of wacky people on ET. Where they dream up stuff like this, I have no idea.

Immigration.................err wait. No, they both were very liberal on that one. Supreme Court appointees................no, actaully Bush was 10x better than Reagan on that issue. I don't know, I give up.

We need Newt Gingrich and some "fiscally conservative Republicans", not these fat cat Republicans that we have now, to take back Congress and get spending under control.

You had me at ..........."Chicago Democrat machine laywer"
