McCain recognizes danger of terrorists

The two potential Democratic presidential nominees have the same political and social views as would be expected from activist liberals.

In Obama's defense, he is a pied piper type speaker, who hasn't used win-at-all-costs politics that separates him and John McCain from Hillary and her political hacks.

Obama and McCain differ toward the economy and how to address the terrorist problem.

Obama is for higher taxes against an "undefined richer than someone else" and more public service jobs that require more taxes revenues from the mainstream folks.

McCain wants to lower taxes that enable our businesses to add private sector jobs via their use of profits.

Obama wants to get out of Iraq as a prime military presence, doesn't believe the surge is working, and would like to have sit-down negotiations with the Middle Eastern terrorists that have sworn to kill all Jews and probably all others that don't agree to their interpretation of Islamic ideas.

McCain is a hawk who showed real patriotism and valor when a prisoner of North Vietnam. He pushed for the surge over George Bush's weak ideas and believes we are at war with an enemy that shows itself to be more vilely twisted in its philosophy than Hitler, Stalin, Mao and other past heinous barbarians.

Past negotiations with hostile aggressors shows success can't occur unless you have a big gun to their head. The current breed of aggressors and their vast resources gives them the potential to someday obtain a WMD that they will deploy. Ostrich-type hopes that a WMD wouldn't be used is foolishness.
