POPSMcCain backs gun decision, Obama straddles issue Since Obama is a constitutional lawyer by trade you have to think what his motive for playing the field with this one. He of all people should not only understand where the Con. stands on this, but also the reasons why the right to bear arms is even in it. Any argument that says he's just courting the conservatives doesn't hold any water. We have the right to bear arms specifically in the case that our government is usurped from us and we have to retaliate. The would never be any greater or more noble a reason than this. Any person who both says that we should trust him with the FISA compromise as well as consider the government's right to take our arms away smells like the enemy to me. I am not a gun owner myself but appreciate the reasoning this is in the Con. Obama is starting to scare me, he may be charming but his words belie a very disconcerting position on the role of government and seem fascist to me.

POPSMcCain in 2005: Gitmo Detainees Deserve Trials Or Should Be Released This clip contains direct quotes from McCain when he appeared on Meet the Press almost exactly three years ago and is easily referenced in the Lexis/Nexis. McCain is a blatant doublespeaker. He will say whatever is necessary to garner the support he wants. It's not about right or wrong for him, it's not about ethics, hell, it's not even about what the American people want. It's purely about playing the game for him and you simply can not trust a person whose doublespeak is as egregious as his. He doesn't even believe his own words, those being fed to him by the "divinity" of the masters who rule him.

POPSAngry Clinton Supporters Start Rallying for McCain Online This proves that American democracy has failed in my mind. This is infantallism. To decide to switch sides just because you didn't get your favorite delegate?! It boggles the mind. These people are acting emotionally and not reasonably, just like toddlers on a play ground. Can we move them aside and let the adults vote now?

POPSObama Responds To McCain: "Strong" Presidents Aren't Afraid To Meet With Enemies I am more convinced every day that Obama is the most eloquent and relevant speaker of my lifetime. It's almost overwhelming that a man of such intelligence could possibly be running for president. I've grown so used to the dumbing down of elections that I feel ashamed. Obama is making me feel something in my country that I have never felt before, true pride.
