host...I honestly dont know what you expect from "us guys".

You raise the issues of trade, health care, job security and minimum wage, etc....and then compare McCain and Obama on their supposed similar pro-military, pro-Likud policies.

Leaving aside the false comparisons of their respective foreign policies....compare their domestic policies.....trade, health care, job security/workers rights, taxes, etc. Do you honestly believe they are both right wing parties? Pathetically similar? I dont think so.

I understand your real concern with the PTB....and yet I still havent seen a solution that is viable in today's political climate in the US.

There is a real choice and I think most see that. It may not be as distinct in all respects as you would like, particularly as it relates to national security....but I think you have to accept that you dont represent the vast majority of American voters.

Thats not to say that your views are not important and should be silenced or ignored, but rather they are a goal that some of us share....and there is only one means to move closer to achieving that goal...and it sure as hell aint with McCain and a Republican Congress.

For me, it is NOT the "lesser of two evils" nonsense and I dont think anyone who knows me would call me "sheepy" and blindly following the pack.
