In all honesty, and I'm not American so shoot me down why don't you if you feel the need to shut me up with "gtfo our elections", but the McCain dude just looks like a Tortoise to me. He seems like a Bush v2, and look at what a fantastic job Bush has done. Bush is a babbling, fumbling, and verbal diahorrea fanatic that suffers from chronic Freudianess (and that's not even a word) of the slippery kind. McCain, when challenged with a toughy question, seems like a stumbler who is just too long in the tooth, brings too much concentration on foreign affairs to the table, and fails to look at what's going on at home.
However, all 3 (Bush, Obama and McCain) can be accused of something which, I believe, is something that no leader should have, or bring to the table...
...Religion.
It's all cool believing in a greater purpose, and you can kid yourself into afterlife and demon spirits, and higher planes of existance, heaven and hell, and give meaning to born-via-death if you want to, but I honestly believe that you cannot effectively run a country as a devout Christian. It's just stupid. It's so contradictory. Infact, mixing anything with Politics is a mess.
Bush is very religious, is he not? Doesn't seem like McCain is that much, but Obama is. I think that both endorse some well-known Clerical figure because a vast majority of Americans are Christians, so you look like you are one of them by getting people of their clan on your side, hoping the rest of the herd (re: Congragation) will follow suit.
I mean, without Religion, where would the world be? You certainly wouldn't be fighting over Islam and Christianity issues of a conflicting nature, that's for sure. The West went to the East because the East don't like the way the West infiltrated their countrys. There's a film out there that hit this point very poigniantly home to me recently ("The Kingdom"). Then again, it's always been a point where one man's greed sees him sending other people on his crusade to be the best at something. A Man aways has an issue, and that's the size of his Penis. Pharaoh's built Pyramids as tall as they possibly could; the taller and grander it was, the more reveered you'd be in the afterlife. Ceaser conquered most of the known world. Columbus chartered the world. Hitler branished his vision across all of Europe. And Bush, not necessarily because of him directly (cause-and-effect), started off a War that DOES affect the rest of the entire WORLD through the pretence of 'Peace to the Middle East'. Sup Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Honestly, I'd vote for the guy who wants the shit Bush started to be over and done with as soon as possible. Not linger around for a further CENTURY for what, exactly? If Guy A is all like, "Yo, you be bombin' my homies, so I bomb yours!" and the other guy is like, "Well, what if I stop bombin' ur homies, will you stop bombin' mine?", perhaps they together can be like, "K, I stop bombin' you if you turn blind eye to what happens in this country" and everyone can just get along.
As for people like Mugabe and whatnot, jesus, if you guys can go in and start something with Iraq, gtfo to Zimbabwe please. What's invading another country gonna hurt anyway!
...But yeah. I'd vote Obama, cuz McCain has a VERY patronising tone calling everyone his "friends"... Exactly what age are we living in now? 1970s? I'm not your friend, I'm your ticket to ruling the world. Wanna straight talk, let's dance!
