We are at WAR. We are Fighting in a War.

In Iraq, with Gun and Bombs we explore the countryside.

Our Country Declared War, that is a pretty big deal. We saw to it that a foreign leader was taken out of power. The reasons don’t matter, it has already been done.

The reasons were weapons of mass destruction. The war has been done.

Now our leader is stepping out of power at the end of the year and we are getting the chance to choose a new Commander in Chief.

You will hear McCain shout things like timetables, we dont need any stinking timetables. (That was a reference to troop beverly hills when she says “badges, we don’t need any stinking badges”.) However, in all actuality we do need timetables, timetables are the reason we are being given the opportunity to get a new leader in this country.

To quote the Lt. Col. Frank Slade, “You need a count for balance.” -scent of a woman Now McCain is a military man so it makes sense that he would understand what the Lt. Col. was saying. The count or timetable is a finite solution for constant change and awakening.

In the past Bush was electable because we could see ourselves drinking with this guy. He was an OK dude. Thats how we made that decision its ok.

Now are choices become more pressing, we have problems - The Economy, Foreign Policy, Health Care, Poverty, let alone the care of the solders coming home.

I think to myself, which of these candidates would be able to break up a school yard fight. Who would be able to physically get in between two school yard boys and pull them off one another and then have a sit down and find a solution to the conflict.

That is how i am going to make my choice for president. - Barack Obama

The Republicans are calling McCain a Democrat and the democrats are calling Hillary a Republican. So who is right and who is left.

So what is a Republican…the Right, the Red. Republicans believe in a Republic a small majority of intellectuals making the decisions for the mass.

Conservative?

There are two types really Social Conservatives and Economic Conservatives. Social conservatives are those mostly concerned with strong religious views- abortion, gay marriage. Economic Conservatives are the ones asking for less government, meaning less taxes, less control over the markets. The breakdown meaning

Now what is a Democrat…the left, the Blue. Democrats believe in a Democracy a government where everyone gets to have a say in what is and isn’t law.

Liberal? Liberals are more excepting of social issues. They generally are for government social welfare initiatives, health care, social security, government care.

This isn’t how most of us look at these parties or vote.

Most of us end up making this decision based on what we were brought up with, like coca-cola or pepsi we identify with what our parents have taught us. Many of us in our hip cool ways have found the ability to shift sides and either identify stronger with one or the other based on our own viewpoints.
