Dude, your handle is 'sexfanatic' and you expect your arguments about politics to be taken seriously.

[Tbozfan07]

Mccain now wins overwhelmingly among independents because of the Rev. Wright controversy.

[sexfanatic]

one more thing truthlovver Obama would of still have voted against the war because it was foolish. I don't know why Hillary voted for it, but that's a different story...

Obama said in his speech that invading Iraq would only cause dismay, he opposed Iraq for the right reasons as documented in his speech

& Obama was running 4 senate so him opposing the war was even more risking because the war was so popular at the time, the fact he said what he believed showed he would of still opposed it

[sexfanatic]

I will like to adress something

Hillary visited 80 countries but that does not give her proper judgement in handling foreing affairs, experience equates to nothing unless u have the proper judgement to back it up

Obama has literally lived in alot of the Muslim countries and will be better equiped to handle and understand the middle east

[sexfanatic]

Obama is actually the best bet 4 the democrats because he will unite Democrats, Republicans, and Independents

Recent polls have shown Obama gets more than 50% of the young vote and the Independent vote unlike Hillary Clinton

Not to mention I know several Republicans that have converted over 2 Obama but said they will easily change back to Republican if Hillary wins, not to mention McCain the Republican front runner will also beat Hillary by the gr8 amount of Independents that'll chose him

lol

[sdreb3421]

Huh, your right.

[truthlovver]

wrong, and such faulty logic. first, visiting something like 80 countries on a diplomatic level does count for something. second, she was on the armed services committee. third, whether obama would have opposed the war if he was in congress we will never know. fourth, one can oppose a bad war, but for the wrong reasons. just for example, opposing a war because "we need to spend the money at home" is to IGNORE the national security issue.

[sdreb3421]

I don't think so. Both Hillary and Obama lack in foreign policy experience. But Hillary's experience only rests in her visits to other countries as first lady. And considering Obama's foresight on the Iraq war, I would say shes not very far ahead if any on the foreign policy issue.
