Is America sleepwalking into a disaster?

Question

Obama can't win and won't win. You're going to get another dangerous war-monger. Hilary won most of the States which matter. There's a good chance that she would beat McCain. Is it too late for representatives at the Convention to vote Hilary as the Presidential candidate. OK, it would be grossly unfair and possibly central Detroit and other black ghetto areas would burn, but sometimes realpolitik has to take over from reasonableness and better some local conflagrations than that the World burns.

You may say that as a Brit this is not my business, but I believe it is relevant to us who the US selects as President and therefore leader of the Free World. The World is too dangerous a place for McCain to mess with.

Wake up America before it's too late.

Answer 1

Were not sleepwalking, which is the exact reasons why the republicans have been able to get their candidate elected the last 2 terms. Basically their strategy is too make up enough stupid and unbelievable lies about their opponents, that eventually the american people will vote for the other guy because they believe its the safe choice.

Also in this particular election Obama was receiving positive press coverage which the republicans criticized the news networks over. So ever since they began reporting about the Rev. Wright soundbites they decided to make up for their earlier bias, and tilt in favor of the republicans. Ever since rev wright the press coverage here in the USA for Obama has been around 70% negative 20% positive 10% neutral. For McCain its been around 50% positive 10% neutral 40% negative.  

I also believe Barack Obama would be a much better president and I hope realize that as well.

Answer 2

don't be so sure that Obama cannot actually win against McCain....it can happen...

Answer 3

I've a feeling that Osama will win, it will be interesting to watch what happens if he does. McCain would just carry on with Bush's America.

Answer 4

Since you posted this question in the geography section, can we decide what America means?

America is a Continent stretching from Canada (and Alaska) in the north right down to the tip of Chile in the south. There is even a highway being built called the pan-American.

The USA is just the bit in the middle.

Isn't it amazing that even Brits can't find an English word for 'Realpolitik'.

The translation is 'political realism' or 'practical politics'.

God help us all (the rest of the world) if the good people of little ole USA vote Republican in November.

Should the worst happen and a psychologically disturbed person become the President of the USA (this is my specialised field - all survivors of torture remain psychologically damaged) then it will  be time that the UK commits itself to Europe.

The balance of power must be re-established. And since the collapse of the Soviet Union, only a united Europe, including the UK, is in a position to do this.

JG. Let's hope it was a Freudian slip. Otherwise we're all doomed.

Answer 5

"There's a good chance that she would beat McCain."

...Dude, she dropped out of the race, it's impossible for her to win.

"Obama can't win and won't win"

...Once again, He is significantly ahead in the polls.

"Clinton was President in 2003. Stop smoking that stuff!!"

...Wow you're just digging yourself deeper and deeper in your own stupidity. Bill Clinton's last (full) year was 1999, and Bush has been President ever since. I think you're the one who needs to stop smoking that stuff!!

Answer 6

Was the first answer a Freudian slip?

Answer 7

This a lie about "warmonger." A typical liberal, clueless false accusation.

Answer 8

McCain is not a war monger, no republican is.

But Clinton is the one who signed the declaration to go to war with Iraq, if you don't like the war blame it on him!

Edit: Yes your right, but he left office before we were ready, It was on the agenda.

I don't know the official name of this, but there is a "list" that gets handed to one president to the other.

Clinton but Iraq on that list, a "to do list". (wish I knew the name of it)

Well, 911 happened, it was just enough to tip the scales of importance to go to war with Iraq.

Your rant is like someone masturbating; only you, are enjoying it.

And you should be arrested for doing it in public.
