Re: not a mccain supporter. questioning your premises

sigh.

I can't tell you what Obama's going to do in Afghanistan and I doubt he could tell you with much certainty either, but he's not a "war for the sake of war" sorta guy.

wasn't the point! you were talking about shifting money away from war to social services for fixing problems within the country. i specifically asked what made you believe this would happen. doesn't matter what his motivation is if the end effect is still war, but just in a different country. still discounts your original point about the shifting.

so, social security worked for you, but there's honestly nothing you can say about it in general? it worked for you so it's wonderful and has no problems? interesting.

I think you need a bit more complexity in your analysis.
or maybe you should address the content of what i say instead of dismissing it.

also, when people say "lesser of the two evils" or at least, when I say it, i don't mean that i think either are actually evil. did you really think i meant that? it's just a saying; i'm sure you know that.
