Entry: McCain is even worse than you thought Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/mccain_is_even_worse_than_you_thought#31932 Post contents: I see the Obama of late as increasingly Clintonian, and as increasingly likely to govern in the (Bill) Clinton fashion. Domestic policy-wise, McCain might be slightly better, although even that is questionable (for example, their positions on amnesty are close, and would likely be implemented nearly identically). Foreign policy-wise, McCain is just too much of a Neocon loose cannon to take the risk, whereas Obama, again in the Clinton fashion, will likely be more conservative (relative to the Bush/Neocon radicals), throw a few bones to the foreign-policy Jacobins, but generally calm things down. McCain’s appeal to the authoritarian/military conservatives is worrisome, because most of them are fairly ignorant of his radical Neocon streak/team of advisors. It would be akin to the Czar’s army getting behind the Bolsheivks: the potential for earth-shattering, country destroying disaster is just too great to chance. Obama may be distasteful, but in terms of easing us back from the brink, it’s not even close. Sent at: 2008 11 20
