Yes, we can.

Yeah, like I said I don't post here because everyone agrees with me. Sometimes my arguments are solid, sometimes, while my arguments may be valid, there are counters to what I've got to say.

I'm not particularly interested in rehashing my dislike of Obama' policies, as we've been over them, but since you asked.....and again, I'm not trying to debate what has been debated, I'm only trying to answer WB.

I think he is naive and dangerous when it comes to foreign policy, and I think Biden is no genious there either (for example, Obama opposed the surge and still denies it was a success, and Biden wanted to split the country into three parts). I do believe he is at heart a socialist. I believe he wants bigger government. I beleive he will gut the military budget. The thought of most important decisions being made by the triumverate of Pelosi, Reid, and Obama scares the crap out of me.

That's just the quick stuff.

Why would he gut the military budget when he's already stated he'd like to expand the military? Other than that, fair enough. I don't think Palin is exactly qualified for the criteria you set forth, but maybe McCain will live through his tenure. Most dissenting conservatives cite his selection of Palin as the last straw for them, but who knows? It could work out- look at Truman. Of course, he actually had loads of experience, but......never mind.

Speaking strictly to the part about dividing Iraq into 3 parts... if he means along ethnic lines, there are some very solid historical arguments behind doing so. Many of the civil wars of the last century resulted from redrawing national borders along politically-expedient, rather than culturally-rational lines. I'm okay with that.

There is little that can be said about bigger gov't because I haven't seen a "small government" candidate from either party in a very long time. The Patriot Act certainly wasn't a small-gov't move.
