JOHN MCSAME, THE ELITIST WARMONGER
the republicans, out of ideas or plans other than drill for oil offshore and bomb iran, are trotting out their fiction writers hoping to paint a picture of senator obama that is so far from reality that in any other democratic country (you know, one where the people read and are really up to date on what is going on and then...horrors of horrors...actually go out and vote) would be the subject of scorn and ridicule. here in partially brain dead america though they are discussed and in many cases, believed. for instance: painting obama as an elitist.
they say that hawaii is only for the elite and so since obama vacationed there he is an elitist. ah, but john mc cain met his wife while on vacation in hawaii. he courts this multi-millionaire heiress while he is still married to a wife who is an invalid. (she is also almost 20 years younger than him.)
john mc cain has EIGHT HOUSES. obama one.
john mc cain owns a private jet. obama travels on airlines.
john mc cain (thanks to his wife) is a multi millionaire. obama has to pays his bills just like you and me.
who is the elitist here? john mc cain has never held a job other than the military and working for his wife. obama worked his way through school and after graduating from harvard magnum cum laud, held two jobs to make ends meet. some elitist he.
partially this comes from the republican side because they do not want actual comparisons made between the two candidates. obama was in the top 5% of his class at harvard, mc cain was in the bottom 7/10ths of 1% OF HIS CLASS! IN OTHER WORDS, GEORGE W. BUSH WHO WAS A C STUDENT AT YALE WAS A BETTER STUDENT THAN MC CAIN WHO WAS A D STUDENT. who do want for president? someone who is arguably more stupid than george or someone who is obviously highly intelligent?
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MC CAIN/BUSH AND OBAMA WHEN IT COMES TO THE RUSSIAN/GEORGIAN CONFLICT.
first of all you must remember this: GEORGIA STARTED THIS!!!!!!! NOT RUSSIA. GEORGIA.
bush and mcsame immediately condemned russia. obama immediately blamed both. bush/mcsame sent american troops into harms way on the side of georgia. obama calls for diplomacy.
ANOTHER POSSIBLE WAR OR TRIUMPH OF DIPLOMACY....WHICH DO YOU WANT?
I REST MY CASE.
p.s. thanks to the FRENCH, diplomacy won out.
p.s.s. today the russians broke their agreement and pushed deeper into georgian territory. what is going on seems to be a push by russia against the united states and bush's plan to have georgia join n.a.t.o and also to put a "missle defense" missles on georgian soil. the russians have historical basis to fear the west, they have been invaded by the west 3 times in the last 200 years and in world war II they lost more people than all the other countries combined.
putin (who is the real leader of russia...the last "election" was a sham) is trying to prove to the united states that russia will not just roll over and allow icbms just south of their homeland.
mc same lectoring russia on invading countries is slightly hypocritical what iraq and all.
still, diplomacy must be the course; war is not in anyone's best interest.

I like how the French can be so diplomatic when it suits them and makes front page news. They weren't that diplomatic in the Ivory Coast when they were protecting their financial interests a few years ago. Of course you probably don't know much about that if you only watch the news on the "Big Three" networks. They hardly noticed.
While the French were blasting the U.S.A. for occupying Iraq, they were in the Ivory Coast doing the same thing. Any comments from the U.N. on that...?
jason,
you have a very good point. as a matter of fact i was in the ivory coast in 2000 when the revolution broke out and had to run for my life to get out of the country.
if one only watches the networks, including fox and cnn then their information on world affairs is not only miniscule but shaded as well. i get hardly any of my "news" from tv much perfering newspapers and each day i read at least 3, the local, usa today and new york times. i subscibe to the economist out of great britain and also try to catch bbc news. when i can find it, i read the christian science moniter which is the least slanted newspaper in america.
you make a very good point, please write again whenever you have something to say.

Thanks for the kind words Ron. I'm glad you made it out of the Ivory Coast. I've been listening to you on XM for a couple of years I guess, but only recently found your blog. And since I am a Republican Catholic who is against abortion but for capital punishment, I'm sure your blog will force me to comment again.
Have a good weekend.
Jason
Ronno-
Once again, you've nailed it on the head.
You belong on the radio, my friend-- a LOT more people should hear what you have to say--You're able to wrap all this bullshit up in a way that the meanings come clear immediately.
You rock
Peace,
SM
