Some sides of some of you have been revealed I was unawares off.
However the mood reminds me of the McInsane campaign of attacks. Some commentors like to see their names and hear themselves without really taking the time to think about what they are saying.

Adult behavior will get your points aired better. Don’t slide into emotional states remain objective and rational there is a lot to learn.

Analysing our options on economice policy must be done. A public discussion is a rare and great priveledge that the blogishere provides. If Gloria and others do not want to participate then don’t disrupt just don’t.

I guess that is a nice way of putting it as I do not want to contribute to the angst that is being injected. Have to wonder why.

I’m thinking that he realizes a lot of this already but he doesn’t think it’s politically electable. Who knows.. and his history IS as a moderate.</p> We just have to hope that he has the sense non god gave a turnip and is able to see the facts that Ian posted up there.

The entrenched budgets for old weapons systems are still being paid for twenty-thirty-or more years later. It is not a sacred cow and we must tame the Military Industrial complex or die a slow painful death as a world power. We spend more than most industrialized countries in the world COMBINED on these weapons. Some say it’s the only thing we export anymore. To our shame and our destruction. That’s what brought down several other empires. I hope Obama is smart enough to deal with it.</p> But we better start looking at the bloated war budget and fast.

Now I look at it in fascinating horror to see what ridiculous crap Ian is spewing forth trying to subvert Obama’s candidacy, such as equating Obama with Ronald Reagan. Please, please, Ian, please, go back to Canada until after the election. The fact is, we have America to work with here. We have American voters, then we have the American Constitutional system, including Congress. We have American corporatism (which I hope is diminished in power under a Democratic regime, but which currently plays a role in the election via the corporate media, etc.). Please, Ian, please direct your overwrought concern trolling toward the very real possibility that, despite the polls, McCain could win if voter turnout, electoral interference, etc., doesn’t go our way. Thanks, Ian. Come back after November 4.</p> I’m sorry to say it, but I used to look at FDR to see Christy’s wonderful posts on the Fitzgerald investigation.
