Barack Obama actually the lesser of the three evils
JWise said 05/22, 10:10 AM
I know the actual saying is "...of two evils" but in this case three is a more acurate number. He is, in my opinion, the best current candidate for the presidency. John McCain can't committ to anything. If you look at his website, he doesn't take a hard stand on anything. Which is worse than taking a bad stand on an issue. Billary Clinton is probably the worst idea the democratic party has ever had. The only experience she has in the white house is a humanitarian entity. Anything she may know about running this country came from her husband and we see how well that worked out. Someone told me that since Bill told OPEC to go fornicate with themselves then Hillary would do it too. how can we expect good out of someone who ran her own campaign into the red and had to loan herself $4M? Barack has taken a hard stand on all the major issues that effect the majority of this country's populace. Now all we can do in November is throw our vote at the proverbial dart board and see if our aim was good or bad. There is, however, no guarantee that any candidate will deliver what they promise. Let's just wait and see.

Perhaps you should change your icon to Obama? lol. You said above, that: "Anything she may know about running this country came from her husband and we see how well that worked out" I don't believe you may say that, since during the years of Bill Clinton people were happy and the economy was great.
All three candidates took hard stances on their issues. Also Hillary being in debt has nothing to do with her being more evil than Obama. She simply has fundraising problems, as you watch the polls, you will notice she has stronger votes from rural working class areas, while Obama has not only college graduates but wealthier votes.
If you wish to argue that he is the lesser of three evils, please next time explain how his issues and his stances are better than the others, and how. You simply state irrelevant information regarding the comparison of evils.

Hillary is corporate corrupt no principle money only politics pretending to claim public interest when she is for power and money and not public interest. McCain is a knucklehead who has no clue as to proper foreign policy and a war hero from being a survivor of being shot down when he was bombing Hanoi. Knucklehead. A former POW who voted for torture should get justice, not the Presidency. Obama is missing the right stuff entirely, and, yes, I agree, the least of three evils, because he is not actually corporate, but wants power, and money, he is not public interest because he knows he is not qualified and has no proper world view and ability to fix the United States priorities and budget and restore our Democracy to a nation that appreciates majority rule for the majority and the right to compete on merits is what he should care about and is not even thinking of that. He has shared the sleeze powermongering media hyped avenue to sneak into office as has Hillary. McCain commands supposed respect by his complete lack of hypocrisy and complete admittance of who he is up front. All three are indeed evils before the voters and not one of the three deserves any real chance. They represent the demise of the established political parties, quite well. Offering warmongering against the middleeast is not part of the duties described in the U.S. Constitution where Congress has the duty of declaring war, and the President is supposed to be a proven leader able to support a democracy by his accomplished leadership. The three have done nothing for America, only their claim for themselves as gain to power over the people, not for the people. Worse, and the true evil, against the people for themselves as powerful. The world can see it by their statements. Pakistan, Iran, and the United Nations waiting for proper leadership for peace not war, no nukes, not nukes. Diplomacy not violence. Civilized progress for 2008 into 2009 and four years of serious government not pretense.

C'mon, McCain hasn't taken a hard stance on anything?!? you mean like being against pork-barreling, running the war correctly, balanced-budgeting, a pragmatic approach to immigration, got it, uh-huh... whereas Obama adopted the stances of the left wing when it became politicly inviting to do so. noone can say whether he will hold to his guns when under pressure because the kid popped out of nowhere and has no history. I'd prefer him over Clinton simply because I doubt his ability to get as much done and I figure that he will moderate his position once he sees what's going on as an executive.
