The difference in hawkishness between McCain and Romney and Guiliani rounds to zero for me, but McCain is at least against torture. <BR/><BR/>I suppose you could argue that Huckabee would not jump into a war with Iran, but he seems scary in different ways, albeit, related to my prejudice against ever electing someone who truly believes God wants them to be president.<BR/><BR/>You put it well - a vote for Hillary is a vote for invading Iran. And if McCain doesn't do it, Hillary will. <BR/><BR/>Tim, I had not considered Hillary=Nader, but that makes sense. If Democrats can't figure this out, they don't deserve the presidency.Dan Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08387429717617727003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22267600.post-71550760037144482062008-02-06T16:15:00.000-06:002008-02-06T16:15:00.000-06:00I'm starting to feel toward the people who vote fo...I'm starting to feel toward the people who vote for Clinton the same way that I felt toward the Nader voters in 2004: you're just giving the presidency away to the Republicans. <BR/><BR/>Rightly or wrongly, conservatives (and independents) hate Clinton so much that she will energize them to vote against her. Obama has broad appeal, mostly to younger voters and independents. That should tell you something about how he represents the greatest departure from the current administration.OldTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07989346965148640094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22267600.post-75857637612777005032008-02-06T13:31:00.000-06:002008-02-06T13:31:00.000-06:00McCain scares you less than the other republicans?...McCain scares you less than the other republicans? I don't get that.<BR/><BR/>I don't think any of the republicans will make our war situation any better, but I think McCain will make it worse. Maybe a lot worse. If Bush doesn't take us to war with Iran, McCain will.<BR/><BR/>And I still think McCain would beat Clinton but lose to Obama.<BR/><BR/>Bottom line: Democrats who vote for Clinton are voting for war with Iran.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
