Good on you.
Yes, I can tell.
I am too. My opinion is just an opinion. But in my opinion we have to get the voting system changed before voting in an odd flavor candidate. I had to live with an semiauto ban because splitting the vote on Perot in '92. He took enough votes from Bush to put the man who signed the ban into power, and clutter up my drawer with a bunch of 10 round mags that are useless to me in 2008.
If all you have to do all day is read election junk, man, you really need to get out more, get a hobby or a job. This crap will kill you and at the very least make everyone else around you tired of hearing your rants.
I never said who I was voting for. I'm just posting up to you because you gripe a lot.
I don't like any candidate in their complete entirety. In fact, I'd like to not have to live under a leader I didn't elect. But, that's Democracy. There's a thing or two about each candidate that I find decent. Too bad you can't chop up each person and mold them to one person I'd pick for myself

Yep, convincing them it's a suicide mission should deter them.

I work for myself. I can afford to play hooky to voice my opinion. what's your excuse? your the one who said I was attacking Mr. McCain with every opportunity. So how many attacks have I done? Not that many have I?
I totally agree
Same.
Nearly every new thread you start is oozing with urgency at how devastating it will be to elect McCain because of X, Y or Z. Then you go on to tell "us" how we're all sheep and will regret any decision we make in the matter. I then asked you why, and you said you post because all voters should be "informed" of their candidates. Well, fine, if you really are intending on "informing us", stop calling everyone names and implying we're all idiots because of the decision we'll make come election time.
So we're idiots for voting for any of the candidates depending on what issue you see fit to attack on a particular day. No one can win with you can they?

better go read what I wrote again...............Maybe less caffiene might help also.
Actually more caffeine would probably do the trick. I had one at 730am, and it's going on 1pm and no lunch.
As a spouse of of an AD Navy pilot...ehhh, wars come with the territory.
It was a nice speech - which is what Obama does well.
I would have liked to see Hillary knock Obama out.

My mother will not vote for Obama, she is a middle of the road Democrat and doesn't believe Obama represents her or many other Democrats with her values.
She wanted Hillary to win but unfortunately due to our current nomination process in the Democratic party its very difficult to get elected unless you play to the extreme end.
Sad part is I would have voted for Hillary over McCain, I don't think I will with Obama.

My opinion which I doubt will change much in the next 6 months.
McCain is the most logical choice. Of all of the candidates that actually stand a chance; he is the least threat to the 2nd (not saying much about the fate of the 2nd, am I?). At least with him, we have less of a chance of having major entitlement programs enacted which will tax us to death. At least with him, we stand a chance of coming up with some sensible immigration policy.
Obama is not our friend. Clinton is not our friend. No third party candidate has a chance to win. A lot of us may not particularly like McCain, but it's like using triage. McCain is salvable. The other two mentioned above are too damaged and we should shunt them off to the “beyond help” area. Any third party candidate worth saving should be treated…. after the election is over. If we want to save one of them, we can do what we can to make them a viable candidate over the next four years, but they are not winning this one.

Yep, it is sad that anyone would vote for Hilary.
Hillary is the best combination of pros/cons for me, she is anti gun but not near as radical as Obama on the issue.
I don't like how US service men are dieing for something I don't believe is needed, but if I have to end up choosing between guns or no guns which is what Obama wants, I will choose guns.

not all of them. If they all were . There wouldn't be a suicide epidemic of our service men and women.

Winston stated in his first post of this thread:
Did you get put on the secert agenda e-mail list of the McCain campign? Or are you using your great soothsaying powers?
I would love to hear your logic or your proof on this tiny little statement.
Personally I think you are just blowing smoke. Which you do a lot of in my opinion. (Entertaining sometimes, but I think you type just to see your name on the board and up your post count)
So surprise us all with you dazzyling logic or insider knowledge about how you know the draft is coming back.

um ,
Veteran suicide epidemic.
Military numbers down.
Longer deployments, Multiple deployments.
John McCain Says More Wars
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZCISY40qns
More wars, not enough military to fight. You do the math. But with the state of the economy. Enlistment might be the only option some people might have.

Everybody is bitter this time around. Pretty sad really I like McCain out of the 3 candidates. Except I have a problem with two issues. Iraq and Iran. and what it could lead to.
Oh and I got the Mr. [redacted]. You funny......er not.

Sorry again Mr. Wolf but you facts are flawed.
http://www.defenselink.mil/releases/release.aspx?releaseid=11826
And yes, there is a problem with Veteran Suicide, I think you actually meant Active Duty Suicide which is increased as well. But this is indiciative of morale and while tragic and sad, it is a small number and not likely to influence the combat readiness of a unit.
As far as longer deployments and more yes, but that would also effect Retention which is also "exceeding year-to-date goals"
Now then if we open a third front in the war against terrorism, say in Korea then I might agree with you about a draft being possible, but not at this time. My guess, and I would say it is slightly educated (four years as a Military Intelligence Analyst with the US Army, a little better knowledge about things than your man on the street I would guess) Hostilities against either Iran or North Korea, would intially start out as a long bombing campign by aircraft and missles followed by a strong Special Operations campign. And in the case of Korea, well when I was stationed there in the early 90s the joke was "are we here to keep the North from coming South or the ROK Army from going North"
Besides the military has stated time and time again they do not want a draft for a variety of reason.
I still think your statement:
Is you trying to create a great deal of something from nothing. Your premise is flaw so you conclusion is flawed.

small number?
6,570 per year
18 per day
That is not a small number. The really sad thing is that they survived Iraq only to kill themselfs back home.
I didn't mean active duty, I meant returning vets.
well McCain said there are going to be more wars. That doesn't make me feel all warm and fuzzy. If we bomb Iran. China, Russia, and North Korea might all have something to say about that.
Remember the Cuban missle crisis. We didn't blow Cuba off the map because Russia would have retaliated against us.
