8 years of the Neocons has done much to hurt the American Empire, but I fear Obama might be able to salvage it. 4-8 years of McCain just might finish it of.
On the other hand, as the USA became a 3rd world ruin and presumably experienced a Christian Fundamentalist 'year zero' we might have to worry about any ideas of reasserting their dominance.

Hey you there reading this...can you do math?

As far as authorized spending, we haven't even spent one trillion in Iraq. Although, there were stories some time back when the total cost eclipsed that of Vietnam at 1.2 trillion.
The exact amount is hard, I suppose, to estimate.

Some experts put the cost of the occupation of Iraq at as much as three trillion.

Even so, we are nine trillion plus in debt. Therefore, roughly two-thirds of the debt originates with the historically unprecedented tax breaks for the mega-wealthy the last eight years.

Therefore, the whole thing is most certainly fixable. And just in time too. Because the people caught up in the mortgage lending crisis naturally turned to credit cards to finance their respective lifestyles and in just this year alone there has been another approximately fifty billion in defaults. And now the credit card companies are crying and starting to approach the government for a handout.

Of course, people are so ignorant and apathetic that Obama may not win.

If that turns out to be the case, I suppose we'll get what we deserve once more.

that had better not fucking happen.

[Rob Instigator]

it is already happening. credit card companies and the automobile industry have seen the massive freeload money available to the banking interests and now want a cut of it

whoever wins the election, both of these senatiors will ahve to go back to a special session of congress after the election na dbefore january 1st, to hand out the "bail out" money, to determine how to distribute it.

I've never vote for McCain - his oven chips taste well horrible:

 

If he can't even make decent chips, how can he be trusted to run an entire nation?

Hahaha... nice one Melly!

Melly, what worries me even more is that a whole country (yours) calls these chips! They're not chips. They're fries. Or at least pomme frites.

This will not stand! I demand justice, suh!

I suggest we duel with filled baguettes at dawn. I choose brie and cranberry sauce filling.

[gmku]

By duel do you mean duel or something else? It's hard to tell the way you Brits run roughshod over the King's English so.

First polls are closing and the results are.....0% of precincts reporting.

[MellySingsDoom]

gmku - I mean, like, I fawt yu knoaw wot I mean, innit? Fackin 'ell, this speekin' lark is well 'ard, knaa wot I meen?

(Translation - I mean like a duel, but substituting pistols for baguettes).

[gmku]

Okay, well, I have to eat my salad now and see what movies are on to watch whilst the newscasters blab on and on.

Maybe Casino Royale will be on again.

I'm glad big violent turds hit the face that hard on people's faces so regularly. There's no other way to make them see things.

Why not feel glad that it's finally someone who isn't named Bush or Clinton for a change... that hasn't happened since the 80's!



But, great minds have articulated the same point you're making more eloquently, like rapper DMX here last March:
