We are in the midst of the war on terror against a very evil islamic terrorist enemy like Al Qaeda and Iran we cannot afford another Jimmy Carter, the price that we will pay will be too high to accept.
I lived through the 70's.
The Saudis and other Arab nations easily capped US economic growth by several percentage points throughout the 70's.
Iran humiliated America during the Carter administration.
The Soviets, while having a hard time in Afghanistan, would have eventually taken over if Carter had a second term.
I'm sorry JVeritas, McCain will only impede progress on conservative principles. He will bully Republicans into going along with his liberal agenda. This will have more lasting repercussions than an Obama administration.
If you think McCain will really appoint conservative judges, lower taxes or reduce the size of government, you are deluding yourself.
And despite the rhetoric, the troops in Iraq aren't going anywhere under Obama. The media, which has remained silent on the significant progress being made there, will all of a sudden start printing and broadcasting the dramatic success US troops are having in Iraq since Obama was inaugurated. Obama himself, will tell America that despite his pledge to remove the troops from Iraq, given all the great things happening there, he will likely keep them there until Iraq is on it's feet. And everyone will cheer and be so thankful that Obama was elected.
The struggle against Jihad will be a long one JVeritas. There will be good and bad leaders of America during this clash of civilizations.
It more important that we stick to our principles. McCain be damned.
