No...Whoah there anonyperson!<BR/><BR/>Nonononononononononono. No. No.<BR/><BR/>No.<BR/><BR/>Firstly, I'm in England and I don't get a vote. It seems unfair, given that the choice of US president has at least as much impact on my life and my country as our choice of Prime Minister. How odd that the US started out as our colony but now we're effectively theirs.<BR/><BR/>An objection to Obama is not an endorsement of McCain. I can't find anything bad that Obama'd do where McCain wouldn't be far worse.<BR/><BR/>McCain, the guy who thinks the problem with Iraq is that we haven't been militaristic enough. The guy who takes climate change so seriously he wants to do offshore drilling. The guy who looks like Noam Chomsky compared to Sarah Palin, the climate-denier creationist.<BR/><BR/>Palin is so clearly Dubya's replacement, a dimwit mascot for the psychopathis neoliberal powers.<BR/><BR/>But even if Obama went through with all his promises, they're pathetic. Climate change is the most pressing problem of our time and the science is clear. Obama's plans will not make the cuts we need. <BR/><BR/>He and McCain favour a cap-and-trade system like the kind that the rest of us signed up to with the Kyoto agreement. It created a great new market for corporate profit and delivered and increase in emissions.<BR/><BR/>In climate terms, the choice between McCain and Obama is like deciding whether to drive over a cliff at 50mph or 70mph.<BR/><BR/>Me, if I voted I'd vote for one of the othrs. I don't hold with the idea that Nader cost Gore the presidency.<BR/><BR/>Firstly, Bush cost Gore the presidency by rigging the vote. Secondly, if you can't put enough clear water between yourself and Bush, that's nobody's fault but your own. <BR/><BR/>Nader's votes didn't 'belong' to Gore. Rather, because so many people vote for the lesser of the two evils despite what they really believe, a lot of Gore's votes really belonged to Nader. And if the Democrats start losing votes to the left then they'll shift policy that way to try and win them back, and politics will start to more accurately reflect the real desires of the people.<BR/><BR/>In theory. In practice, like anyone else in the White House, Clinton/Gore were the puppets of Big Fossil. Gore knew all about climate change before he became VP, publishing a superb book on it. <BR/><BR/>Yet who was the leader of the American delegation that expertly wrecked the Kyoto agreement? Yep, Gore. We can expect the same of Obama. You don't get to be president unless you serve the interests that maintain the office.<BR/><BR/>But, yes, there are clear differences and major social policy differences between the Obama and McCain camps, and McCain is invariably the worse. Given Stalin vs Satan, I'd vote Stalin.merrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10959849087751101034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11751516.post-81640334858636298352008-09-20T02:11:00.000+01:002008-09-20T02:11:00.000+01:00OK - but tell me that you're NOT voting for McPali...OK - but tell me that you're NOT voting for McPalin!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11751516.post-82369736766107742552008-09-16T21:52:00.000+01:002008-09-16T21:52:00.000+01:00frickin' WORD!Stevie rules.
