DISQUS

D.R. · 1 year ago

Not to nitpick, but logically there is nothing wrong him saying those things. This is actually one small seed of consistency. While it doesn't make a lot of sense at first glance, it is possible for the economy as a whole to be in a crisis while asserting that the fundamentals are strong. It just goes to show that he feels it will fix itself because the foundation will hold up what's left of this wreck. I still won't vote for him, but that's beside the point.

Good point D.R.

Not that ABC News in an unbiased news source with a huge Obama advertisement right next to the video, but they also mention that Barack Obama said this: "But I do fault the economic philosophy [McCain] subscribes to, because it's the same philosophy we've had for the last eight years" what economic philosophy is that? Capitalism?? Are we now doubting that Capitalism is what America should use as an economic platform? The particular things Obama wants to change is the minimum wage and social security. How can a (former?) Ron Paul supporter possibly support those things? I get that Obama still supports Capitalism, just with some slightly socialist additions.

But here is what I don't get:
"It’s batshit insane that people don’t get how unstable McCain is. He’s an absolute joke." I just can not figure out where you are coming from. I am a bit apprehensive about voting for McCain but how can you rationally believe that it is "batshit insane" to view McCain as a pretty average politician, like Obama. How can you believe everything that comes out of Digg and Reddit? How can you honestly believe McCain is this sneaky, evil idiot? How does a self-described rational mind start to think in such extremes?
