Barack Obama Waives Rule Allowing Indefinite Military Detention Of Americans
Tuesday, February 28, 2012
I swear that Obamaphiles have lost their minds or are brain-dead; they most certainly don't hold Democratic values.
If I wanted Republican policies and legislation I'd have voted for a Republican. Who thought that when John McCain lost the 2008 election that we'd still be contending with his plans for governing?
If McCain Had Won
McCain would probably have approved a failed troop surge in Afghanistan, engaged in worldwide extrajudicial assassination, destabilized nuclear-armed Pakistan, failed to bring Israel’s BenjaminNetanyahu to the negotiating table, expanded prosecution of whistle-blowers, sought to expand executive branch power, failed to close Guantanamo, failed to act on climate change, pushed both nuclear energy and opened new areas to domestic oil drilling, failed to reform the financial sector enough to prevent another financial catastrophe, supported an extension of the BushTaxCuts for the rich, presided over a growing divide between rich and poor, and failed to lower the jobless rate.
Nothing reveals the true state of American politics today more, however, than the fact that has undertaken all of these actions and, even more significantly, left the DemocraticParty far weaker than it would have been had McCain been elected. Few issues are more important than seeing behind the screen of a myth-making mass media, and understanding what this demonstrates about how power in America really works—and what needs to be done to change it.
