McCain,Obama,Clinton are all big government, big business,pro-war,ant-constitut­ion. It won't matter, and hasn't mattered for the past 60 years, who gets elected. The puppetmasters control the process. People need to wake up and take back the country.

If the Democins wanted to stop the war, they could simply stop paying for it, (power of the purse is with congress)

Thus, Pelosi and all the democins are willing to allow it to go on

Apparently they all serve the AIPAC and the souless corporate bribers

Phil Gramm.

McCain has done more for this country than some "OTHERS" could ever do!

[blhack]

Which people "running John McCain's campaign" are lobbyists? And as far as Iraq or Vietnam being a good idea:

What would have happened had Russian communism spread across that region? You think china is bad?

I hate to break this to you, but Hussein was a genocidal maniac.

We can't play the isolationist card anymore. We exist in a global community now. Ignoring what was happening in iraq would be like Los Angeles acting like what happens in San Diego doesn't effect them.

[Rickdeckard2020]

Im not as familiar as you about the 3 candidates;

Which isnt a member of the CFR?

Given all human life nearly vanished on a few occasions,

which of the 3 is in favor of treaties banning weaponization of space and banning of bioweapons?

Which one wants congress to issue money without interest or wants to nationalize the fed and make it transparent?

Which favors abolishing the role of private insurance middleman in Health care?

Thank you for explaining to "us" what people need to do. These 3 candidates couldn't be more different from each other. And If God forbid you sink down to a level of humility and decide on a candidate that you do support, the people may wanna know for whom and why?
