Forums - General - People Complain About Obama's Lack of Policies: Show Me McCain's.

This is an open invitation to discuss John McCain's policies.  I think his are often ignored and subsumed into a discussion of Obama's "lack of policies" (which is essentially people expecting to have a bill already drafted for everything he wants to do).

I know McCain has some good ones, and Obama has some good ones, but I have seen little information that they are significantly more thorough than Obama's.

So this is your chance to show me.  I am asking you to so since they are apparently so clear cut.

Policies I already know McCain stands by:

Cutting pork-barrel spending and corruption.

Not setting a strict timetable for an Iraq withdrawal

Increased nuclear energy usage and more offshore drilling (Obama has recently budged on both these issues, FYI)

Maintaining Bush's tax cuts

 

So please tell me what more of his policies are and why they are so much more clear than Obama's policies.

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.

mmmmmmm......pork barrels.



McCain's policies are to kick ass and take names. 'nuff said.



Why am I not surprised that I got no serious replies to this thread...I am going back and editing out some things that people could find potentially questionable in my motives just to clear up any doubts.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Really? On the thread on the political compass quiz most people on here were left leaning libertarians.

who cares about policies? I don't want Obama to be president. So I am going to vote for the other guy. lol



People want to know more about Obama's policies in a large part because he is running on a campaign of change, and (pretty much) has promised that the world will become a wonderful place where nothing bad ever happens because of his change ...

I did the same thing in another thread outlining Obama's policies (including even a downloadable pamphlet that explicitly outlines what he wants to do), but people said it was still unclear.  So by that standard thats not good enough.
