Timbre’ Wolf Sends Me This:
OBAMA
Iraq: Wants to keep at least 85,000 troops in Iraq to protect “US interests”
Foreign Affairs: Might NOT nuke Iran.
Homeland Security: Would NOT repeal the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act or any other “Security” provisions. Would NOT reinstate the Bill of Rights.
Immigration: Supports a fence along Mexican border. Experts assert that a fence would be an ecological disaster. Need I say more?
Economy: Supports more corporate tax breaks.
Education: Supports more Federal programs (money) for public education and college. This would, of course, translate to more government oversight/ involvment (and they’ve done such a good job in the past!).
Energy: Gives lipstick service to “renewable energy” but endorses “clean coal,” nuclear power, and automakers who build . . . let me see, GAS BURNING CARS. But he does want to give more support for renewable energies, and wants to give automakers help with health coverage in exchange for more hybrid production. But wait . . . he wants universal health care anyway.
Climate Change: Believes in anthropogenic causes of global warming.
Health: Supports universal health care, and believes government should buy prescription drugs in bulk to reduce costs.
Social Security: Believes in it.
Stem Cell Research: Supports embryonic stem-cell research
Same Sex Marriage: Does not support same-sex marriage but endorses “civil unions.”
Abortion: Pro-choice
Gun Control: Supports bans for weapons used for sudden, violent onslaught
McCain
Iraq: Wants to “win.” “USA! USA! USA!”
Foreign Affairs: Might nuke Iran. “Bomb, bomb, bomb . . . bomb, bomb, Iran”
Homeland Security: Supports Patriot Act and wants intelligence officials to have all tools they need. Opposes detaining enemy combatants without legal rights. Would not reinstate the Bill of Rights.
Immigration: Supports tightening current border patrol.
Economy: Supports more corporate tax breaks.
Education: Supports sending federal dollars directly to local schools.
Energy: Gives “lipstick on a pig” service to alt energy but wants much more nuclear power and “clean coal.”
Climate Change: Believes in anthropogenic causes of global warming. But his running mate doesn’t care about that because Alaska is already too damn cold.
Health: Supports importing prescription drugs from Canada, Mexico, and France to lower costs. Ok, I must confess he didn’t actually say WHERE we should get the drugs.
Social Security: Believes in it.
Stem Cell Research: Supports embryonic stem-cell research
Same Sex Marriage: Opposes same-sex marriage (believes it’s a state issue)
Abortion: Neither pro nor con: thinks that states should decide.
Gun Control: Supports background checks for citizens.
These tend to be so complicated.
