The election is about one issue...

[surfdog]

Elect President Obama to a second term and there will be no war with Iran

Elect the GOP and we will wage war with Iran

Should be a simple choice for the American people , although I have little faith in them

1. Ignorance is bliss

2. So far that's not borne out by the public statements of the Republican candidates

Only Santorum has pledged to bomb Iran to prevent them from getting a nuclear weapon. Personally, I think he's probably bluffing, but all I have to go on is his public statements and he has said he would do it. Newt and Mitt more or less say what the president says about Iran.

3. Clearly somebody gave the media ...

Their talking points and mission

[RZM]

4. I'm not following you

I'm merely pointing out what they've said publicly.

5. You're assuming a level of competence on the part of the GOP that I don't share

Personally I think that if the Repubs win, the US will get attacked militarily by a large coalition of countries, after they try to do to international business what they're doing to America.

6. Republicans love war

They think it makes them invincible. They got so much support for Pappy during the Gulf War. So they looked for a war for Junior to make him popular and created the Iraq War. They look at it as a way to get political capital. And it does work, for a time.

7. That, plus the Supreme Court

There may be several new justices that need replacement in the next 4 years
