I seriously fear for this country if McCain gets elected, which is looking more and more possible each passing week. Think about it.

-War with Iran
-War with N. Korea
-$250 oil
-$8 gas
-Trillions more in national debt
-Likely reinstitution of the draft
-Economic depression that will make the 1930s look like the 1990s

Can our country afford this? Will the Democratic congress give this madman the power to do as he pleases as they have done Bush?

We will survive, but it won't be pleasant.

These are your predictions. I can predict that your list will not come true.

It's fine if you don't want to vote for him, but to just make stuff up and pretend that you know it will happen....I don't quite get the point of that.

Think about this!
Hillary 241 earmarks I think.
McCain 0 I think!
Hmmmmm.
Who knows the value of the dollar more?
Oh and Bush has NOT done as he pleases while in office. There is a protocol he is not loose to free will everything!

Actually it was the 70's and the 80's that had a "economic depression"

The question is can McCain survive a McCain presidency. Let's face it he is nobody's kid. The fact that he looks like death warmed over doesn't help either. The slightest hint of stress just may finish him off.

Where do you come up with this stuff? Where has McCain mentioned anything to do with war in Iran or Korea, or reinstituting the draft? How do you make these leaps?

Why not just throw in baby killing, book burning, and outlawing motherhood and apple pie too? Are you for real?

Congressman Charlie Rangle, a Democrat, has been the leading proponent for bringing back the draft.

McCain has not even HINTED at anything like this
