I hate that my first post is about politics, but I couldn't resist. I came on these boards to learn about trucking so I haven't really had anything to contribute until now.

McCain is probably going to die within the next 4 years. Do you really want Sarah Palin leading this country? If anyone actually watches this woman and thinks "U.S. President", may God strike me down where I stand. The most pathetic thing is that McCain is almost as clueless as she is on several of the most important issues facing our nation today. (for example the coming economic recession/depression) McCain even admitted that he's ignorant about economic matters.

As for the terrorism, I think it's time we stopped being such damn pussies about it. If someone decides they want to come over here and blow up, McCain isn't going to be able to do a damn thing to stop them. The only thing he will do that Obama probably wouldn't is go invade whatever country he guesses the terrorists came from, killing more AMERICAN soldiers and just PISSING MORE OF THEM OFF. I'm all for protecting this country from terrorist attacks, but thinking voting for McCain means that we won't get any more of them is just plain stupid.

Imagine a group of Americans decided to go across the ocean and kill as many people as they could. (the reason why they would do such a thing doesn't matter just imagine it) Now imagine whoever they attacked found out that they came from America and decided to send thousands of military troops over here to start looking for more people that might do the same thing. They are patrolling our streets, firing on anyone who tries to stop them.

How would you feel about that? Would that make you more or less likely to attack their country -- even though you have no idea why the first group of Americans attacked them to begin with? I'm willing to bet that would piss you off. It would piss me off too. The funny thing is, that's exactly what we are doing in Iraq right now and have been doing so for 5 years. An even funnier thing is, none of the people that attacked us on 9/11 even came from Iraq.

McCain can picture the war in Iraq going on for 100 more years. I would have voted for Ron Paul, but instead I'm voting for Obama if only as a better alternative to John McCain and Sara Palin.
