Tracy,
Nobody will tell me how to do selective quotes so my comments are not synchronized like yours.
Re: Randolph's six points
I don't particularly agree with your interpretations of my points and how they relate to the two candidates.
I think you exaggerate the negative aspects of the Dems. and overly support Repub. views but you are a conservative, right?
I used to like McCain, I think he has the best interests of the country at heart. However, He does seem to be somewhat erratic in his thinking.
Obama promised an alternative to the mean spirited hegemony obsessed Bush administration.
Will he come through, it remains to be seen.
Obama is very limited on what he can do, its up to Congress to come up with legislation that Obama can support.
I think you exaggerate Obama's "socialist" tendencies. His massive support of the banks would question that. He has "assured" us that owning GM is temporary. Will the Gov. allow GM to fail when it owns it.
Oh, I was thinking of the Monroe Doctrine as a start. Yes, I know we have rarely minded our own business, Teddy Roosevelt, Woody Wilson, Kennedy, Johnson, Ect.
