Barack Obama a moderate, hmm, perhaps I should retract that label.

Given the content and direction of Obama's recent round of speeches, squarely aimed at reassuring his corporate and reactionary overlords as they have been, he has in fact morphed from being an anti-war moderate as he initially posed, into…

McCain will be president.

Even though the polls may well favour Obama, the polls simply don't count in recent elections. No reason at all to think this one will be any different.

Barack Obama represents nothing so much as a deflection for public discontent, a safety valve to ensure the…

Skip,

"These two candidates represent entirely the same ruling elite, albeit two factions of it." So, you agree with me that niether of them could careless about me?

You have it.

"they are totally focused now on directly grabbing control of the world's mineral resources and means to their continued…

Mad I don't believe he should win, but still believe he will.

The economy is more important to Americans right now, not far-away wars that they've become bored with and cannot win.

Totally agree with you, although it shouldn't be that way because the two - the American economy and…

Skip,

Not "ruling elites". Ruling elite. I'm only talking about one. Its not like there's a whole bunch of them vying in some kind of super league within the one country.

There is though a ruling elite in each country. That is entirely the norm. And yes, they do compete…

McCain and Obama both have a plan, and its the same one. To ensure no obstacle gets in the way of business as usual/ war as usual. They do however, have entirely different personalities of course. But that just means the posturing is different.

Which ever slice you choose, it…

The Democrats exist now principally to delude the people into thinking there is a democracy. They just do not represent any alternative to what the Republicans offer - a plutocracy manifesting itself nakedly at this point through the blatant dictatorship of the corporations.

McCain's plan? He hasn't really got one.…

Taka,

I picked up on your post to Sarge his 'math'. I posted you on another thread suggesting you do the numbers with regard to your mention that McCain would privatise veteran's care and social security. As the facts I posted demonstrate, they have no money (at least none they…

Obama represents a shift back to a ‘liberal’ posture that placates the larger American population. However, it is just a posture.

Obama couldn’t possibly deliver any real ‘change’, either economic or in terms of foreign policy. As his speeches have made clear, he represents emphatically the same corporate and military…

Sarge

Many posters here would disagree. They are certain Obama will crush McCain.

Yeah, seems so. Boy are they going to be disappointed.

Taka

Have you looked at your figures yet?
