Seriously.

If Barack Obama wins, just wait to see what happens to this country. Although I'm sure you'll just blame it on the scapegoat George Bush.

And hey Nolan….talk about bias…where do you go for your news? I think we all know where the media leans so don't bitch about one article that doesn't bash Republicans.

he wants to continue the trickle down economic bull shit that has failed to do anything to stop the current economy from tanking. oh i'm sorry, according to mccain's advisor, i'm just whining and i have a mental recession. continue the bush tax cuts that give more money to the people who already have it, while at the same time taking money from those who lack it. great plan.

how does he differ on torture? he may give face value to the idea of opposing it, but he voted with the president and the republicans in favor of torture.

listen, if you don't have a different opinion on climate change then bush, you must be a god damn idiot. that's not a hard position to take. giving lip service to climate change does not make mccain a green candidate.

i could do this all day. mccain=bush.

1. Placing religion over science. Sorry, this is like placing History above Math. Totally apples and oranges.
2. Shoe-horning evangelical christianity into Government. Religion does not belong in government ANYWHERE.
3. Abstinence only sex education in schools. Get real, sex is here; people have sex, they will continue to have sex; START TEACHING ABOUT SAFE SEX.
4. Intelligent design in schools. See point #1 and #2.
5. Continually calling people who disagree with the Bush Administration / Right-wing as "unpatriotic."

Until those 5 things are resolved with the Republicans & Conservatives. I will *NEVER* support them. I appreciate some areas in the economy/laws where government should be shrunk. I can debate with the right on taxation and privatization. I can even support the right on issues of the size of government. However those 5 things are DEAL breakers for me. This may be insulting to those on the right, but if you don't see the logic in those 5 points, then you are an IDIOT.

I recognize that my opinions have no bearing to you and the right, but those 5 points are non-debatable topics for me. If I'm close minded, so be it, but imho, there is simply no way a truly intelligent or reasonable person could disagree with those 5 points.

This article seems relatively well written by a reasonably intelligent person (although biased), but please explain to me based on the 5 points I list above, how any intelligent person could *ever* support the Republicans/Conservatives.

If you're in fact a libertarian and actually *voting* for a libetarian, then ignore this post. If on the hand you are actually going to VOTE for McCain/Palin. Then, imho, you have a sh*t-ton explaining to do.

interesting article, todd. though perhaps the typos detract from it.

i think the american people are smart enough to realize that john mccain is just 4 more years of the same thing, voting with bush 90% of the time doesn't make you a maverick, it makes you a puppet. and don't even get started with the token candidacy of palin. not even karl rove disagreed with the fact that she was picked solely for political reasons, having nothing to do with her ability to contribute anything to actual policy.

let's not have anymore op-ed pieces like this one on the website.
