You made a very good case against McCain--I agree.
You speak the same of Obama.
One of them is going too be President.
Which if the two will make the better President??
It is not a matter of flaws, as all are flawed.
It is a matter of leadership and on that account there is no choice but McCain.
We ignore the head of the Serpent -- The House and Senate.
As a matter of fact, if polls are correct, 60% of those HERE---those who speak and rant---will not even vote----they will continue too speak and rant, however.

Well, William on much here we can agree. Part of my point was as I believe you have also noticed is the ruthless name calling and accusing made by some here. When the election is over, and indeed it will be over in a few days, many will remember how they were treated for having a different opinion. I know I will. I see it as panic on the part of some, and they are speaking out of fear. Some are exercising something they don't have in real life. Courage to speak to people in such a manner in person, so they do it in the safe environment of the Internet.
But back to leadership. Although I think Obama goes beyond Socialism, and right on into Marxism, I do not believe either has any real leadership in the way of the right direction country wise.
Take note of two things apparent. Even with all the open criticism Obama has stuck to his guns on "spreading the wealth". He has not varied from his message. Point number two is: McCain has done so many one-eighties on so many issues just in the last month, I see no real leadership, but instead, waffling and indecision in regards as to what to do to get the vote.
An observation that is by no means an endorsement but, instead an OBSERVATION, is that Obama could stand up and recite "Mary had a little lamb" and the crowd would cheer, while McCain could give stats on any "real issue" and the people would snore.
In the realm of charisma, Obama is far and above McCain. When the primaries were in full swing, these same ranters were at odds with "each other" on whom to support, and would not ban together. They switched from candidate to candidate going in opposite directions much of the time, until we ended up with this for a candidate. Now they unite for a clown that is at the very least a "liberal socialist". They as Americans have blown the chance for a "good candidate" and want the free thinkers whom are truly ready to say enough is enough to go along with their "product of chaos".
At some point this broken system will have to be dealt with, or everyone can just go down and pick up their "socialist membership card. This forum is but a reflection of the nationwide attitude of just one more time, "putting off the inevidible" and taking the easy way out, and playing the "game of redundancy". Until courage is aquired by the masses, and in unison they cast a vote that says: No Mas! Nothing will change for the good, only the worse. And it is indeed worse this time, and will be worse still NEXT TIME. My opinion, and no one has to agree.
