In the next Cold War with Russia, who do we want to stare down their leader?
Obama/Biden or McCain/Palin (and God forbid it be just Palin)???????????


NYT's Thomas Friedman says we "have no leverage" because we have lost our allies.

Time to vote for the right team: OBAMA/BIDEN

1. The token bitch (yes, BITCH, if you have a problem with it, I'm sorry) can't stare
down Keith Olbermann or Chris Matthews, so how in the hell is she going to go face to face with Putin?

2. The problem is
The right wing religious wackos want Palin because if McCain kicks the bucket, she will be in charge, and they "WANT" the world to end! That should be what scares the crap out of people!

3. We do not want a flashback to old Cold War politics. It is not just Russia v USA anymore.
That's forgetting the People's Republic of China.

That's forgetting other countries around the globe who will be hating the USA for being so few of the world's people using so much of its dwindling supplies of fossil fuels.

We need Obama/Biden, who understand that Cold War talk is old war talk. The new realities are far more complex and ever-changing. We need leadership not averse to studying, diplomacy and a rebuilt professional, respected, international intelligence network.

The old Cold War talk is designed to activate some Senior voting. Sweep in some of those folks who think pint sized, study-averse, outdated John Sidney McCain III, Republican humble servant with $520 loafers and seven homes, has gotta face down the big bad USSR.
