And so did Ted Kazcynski. Seems they have more than just that in common: "Conservatives and some others advocate more "local autonomy." Local communities once did have autonomy, but such autonomy becomes less and less possible as local communities become more enmeshed with and dependent on large-scale systems like public utilities, computer networks, highway systems, the mass communications media, the modern health care system. Also operating against autonomy is the fact that technology applied in one location often affects people at other locations far away. Thus pesticide or chemical use near a creek may contaminate the water supply hundreds of miles downstream, and the greenhouse effect affects the whole world." |

Wright under the bus. 2) threw Jesse Jackson under the bus 3) threw Hillary Clinton under the bus 4) threw the military under the bus 5) threw public campaign funding under the bus 6) threw David Rescoe under the bus 7) threw his grandmother under the bus 8) invites known terrorists to ride on the bus Can't come up with ten because he has no noteworthy real accomplishments. -- Gregory Hall |

![]() Mike wrote: Name Obama's ten greatest accomplishments. How about naming McCain's ten greatest accomplishments that actually relate to the issues he would face as president. For example, what experience does he have in setting or modifying national economic policies? Or formulating policies and actions dealing with a serious housing crisis, bank failures, historic balance of trade deficits, budget deficits, regional employment crises, etc.? And, what experience does he have setting and negotiating trade policies, policies relating to legal and illegal immigration? What experience does he have negotiating with Soviet bloc and asian countries re security issues, etc.? My friends, would he be able to understand a complex crisis and make a rational, logical decision at 3:00 in the morning? - Could he stay awake during meetings throughout the following day? Or would he have to take an afternoon nap? With respect to his favorite issue, national defense, what experience does he have making decisions on deployment, troop movements, troop support, etc. during wartime? (Remember that we are talking about a 70 plus-year-old man who graduated from the academy at the bottom of his class.) Does he have successful experience in negotiations with friendly and/or unfriendly nations regarding political, military, and/or economic issues? Does he have experience in resolving a national health care crisis, including resolving medical costs and insurance issues? Experience in managing a country in deep financial crisis? - For example, how will he implement his programs when the country is deeply in debt to China, and various Islamic nations, with deep ongoing national deficits, such that we don't have the budget to support his plans, much less to support them and also extend the tax cuts he (currently) favors? Regarding military responsiveness, what experience does he have in determining an appropriate response to hostile actions in the Mideast or elsewhere WHEN THE COUNTRY DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH TROOPS TO TAKE CARE OF AFGHANISTAN, MUCH LESS TAKE ON ANOTHER CONFLICT? - Would he suggest that we re-implement the draft? And if so, would the Congress approve such a request from McCain? (He can talk tough, my friends, but talk is cheap.) When the economy (not the Iraq war) is BY FAR the primary concern of the US public, what experience and knowledge does he have of issues relevant to economics? Yes, you can ask the same questions regarding Obama, but while you are asking such questions, let's also get appropriate answers from Johnny McCain and his staff. Jim |

John McCain has been a senator for many years. Many more years than you or me. His files are loaded with your answers. Live long, and prosper. I'm Horvath and I approve of this post. |

Jim Firstly, you're responding to a troll, a pathetic guy with nothing better to do. Secondly, McCain has years and years of experience in the Senate, he's a war hero, and he supported a war of choice rather than necessity. He's flipflopped on a number of key issues, such as being against then pro-torture, mostly first speaking his mind, then saying what the right-wing religious nuts want to hear so he can solidify his base. He has good 'ole Jack Kemp on his advisory board. Nothing wrong with that (we wouldn't want to be accused of whinning like Phil Graham would say), except, Kemp was a vocal supporter, perhaps even an athletic supporter of Jack Abramoff. You remember him don't you Jim? The guy who went to prison for fraud and corruption. (Don't even think about the Keating Five - The Ethics Committee saying McCain used "very poor judgement.") I love how McCain keeps claiming that the "surge" is working. It's working alright... it's driving the terrorists to Afganistan! I also love how the party of "family values," rife with people who divorce their wives (typically in times of personal crisis, like cancer or disability) to marry one of their girlfriends, tries to compare itself to people like Obama who have a long-time wife and a solid family. But, fear, don't forget the fear of flying without getting a foot-check because one guy tried to light up his shoe. God Forbid we should listen to T. Boone Pickens, someone who just might know something about big oil, and develop a sustainable non-oil energy industry. He must be in league with Gore. Instead we should give all our money and turn over our security to the Saudis (not counting bin laden of course). But, drill some more, something that will only help us (maybe) 10 years from now. It sounds good... drill! drill! drill! Absolutely don't increase the CAFE standards to anything that might cause the US auto industry to be able to compete with the Japanese cars. Well, I think you get the idea. Seems like even Bush is getting some wisdom (right...). He's flipflopped on Iran, and on a timetable for withdrawing from Iraq. According to John Bolton (not exactly a liberal) Bolton Sarcastically Said Bush Shift Toward Talking To Iran "Is The State Department Effort To Insure A Smooth Transition To The Obama Administration." John Bolton said of the Bush Administration's agreeing to talks with Ira, "Even if this is a one time only event in the Bush administration, it legitimizes the Obama administration to do the same thing," he said. "It undercuts McCain, and Republicans on the Hill. This is the State Department effort to insure a smooth transition to the Obama administration."
