Vaughn B Commented on Bush Legacy: A well done for Libya by Amitai Etzioni

2009-01-18T00:28:22Z

I didn't vote for Bush either time, but he certainly sounds like he was more successful with Libya than JFK was with Israel. Shortly before he was assassinated, JFK tried to pressure Israel to stop developping its nuclear program and failed.

Vaughn B Commented on The Lobby Will Stand Down & Obama Will End The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict by M.J. Rosenberg

After January 20th, Obama is accountable. Will he do the same kind of job he's done up to now? Will voters feign surprise? Will his anti-Iraq stance be eclipsed by future military initiatives? Will American voters be able to view his performance in a lucid and alert way?

The important thing is that those who voted Obama don't let him or themselves off the hook as his presidency begins and the results of HIS decisions start showing up.

Vaughn B Commented on GOP Rep. Broun: Sorry I Compared Obama To Hitler -- But He Is A Socialist by Eric Kleefeld

2008-11-12T17:33:24Z

When did he make the incendiary remarks about Obama and Hitler? It seems to me that there were a series of references to Hitler when Obama made the speech in Germany.
I tend to put Nazism and Socialism in two different categories, although they both are linked to "big government" and the term "socialist" is in the Englidh translation of that political party's name: National Socialist German Workers' Party.
I guess what bothers me about lumping those two things together is the "master race" theme which doesn't fit with most examples of socialism.

Vaughn B Commented on The Anatomy of a Smear]]> by Zachary Roth

It's last-minute desperation on the part of a trailing campaign, but shouldn't someone running for president know that his aunt is an ilegal alien AND shouldn't a campaign know if a donor is non-American and therefore donating money illegally?

Vaughn B Commented on ABC Tells Viewers Not To Watch Obama's Half-Hour Special Tomorrow Night by Greg Sargent

2008-10-29T00:14:49Z

I have personally contacted over 200 people in the last week to remind them of the scandalous budget differential between the two major candidates, not to mention the even greater one between Obama and the third party candidates. I'm sure the arms manufacturers have contributed to his unbridled campaign fundraising along with the "small contributors" he flaps his lips about. After all he did affirm that he would maintain military presence in Afghanistan AND encouraged French President Sarkozy to follow his bad example which is now happening against French public opinion. Thank you, Obama, for your European tour. We know that neither he nor his children will go to the front. He'll just send other people's kids. A CHICKEN HAWK! The only
democratic thing to do is boycot his "spot" on tv.

Vaughn B Commented on Stealing Pennsylvania by Ron Drummond

2008-10-22T21:50:27Z

Nobody seems to be scandalized by the Glitzkrieg that was waged in Pennsylvania during the Democratic Primary. With equal spending, Obama would have been 15 points behind Hillary instead of 9. Today he is still trying to buy Pennsylvania. The fact that McCain is spending more than 25% of his adversary's cash outlay has evidently given certain politicians the jitters. They know how much the Obama win depends on how Axelrod's Marketing Glitz shoves his candidate down those "poor, bitter" throats.

I hope Pennsylvania distinguishes itself by massively disavowing the two major candidates. They are both "more of the same".
