You are so young. I honestly think we will have to lose a city before you and others that think like you will understand what we are up against.
As for the intellectual property reform and open technologies in government platform, that sounds as good as anything I've ever read on the subject. But even if Sen. Obama wins, the President does not make laws. Congress makes laws. How he plans to get those things by all those bought and paid for congress critters is beyond me.
But there are far more pressing issues that cannot be ignored. Being a one issue voter is worse then an ignorant voter casting his or her ballot for a pretty smile.
There are issues of national security, the economy, taxes, Iraq and Afghanistan, That whack job in Iran (Did you catch his speech at the UN?), etc. All of these things require someone that is has some backbone and is willing to go every inch of the way it takes to protect US interests anywhere in the world.
These things require someone that realizes that throwing money at a problem is not always the answer. These things require someone that has their eyes open wide enough to realize that these terrorists want us Muslim or dead and they are not really particular as to which way that goes.
Obama has too many pie in the sky ideals, none of which will serve us well in the current world we live in. Obama wants to be president of the world. I'd like to have someone that puts the United States' interests first.
If you are not a liberal by the time you are 25, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative by the time you are 45, you have no brain. - Oscar Wild
