American Muslims and Presidential Elections 2008

fuzair #: mccain is a misfit in his own party.....barring his support for wars, there is nothing he has in common with republicans...specifically the hard core relgious right, which still runs the republican party.....

unfortunately, for republicans, their symbol of religious right - i.e. bush - has turned out to be such a disaster that no one who follows the same line can get elected......

so basically, the usa currently has two liberal democrat - obama and hilary - and one liberal republican running for presidency......

obama will beat the crap out of mccain on the iraq war alone.......mccain wants to send more troops in!!.....

the center will lean to the left this time....last time bush barely won, with a split center.......it is going to be very difficult for mccain to beat any democrat.....had their been no bush of eight years, any republican would have destroyed any democrat....

romair bewakoof!

... i did support mccain in the 2000 election but he didn't win the nomination ..... i am glad he is still alive otherwise we might have been stuck with huckster huckbee with his guitar and bible, the moron from massachusets who is a bigger flip-flopper than joh kerry, or that mobster from new york whose only claim to fame is that he happened to be in town on 9/11 ........... thank god for mccain

........ if hillary wins, i will move to canada or throw myslef under a truck ....... i can't stand that woman! ..... as my daughter says, "she would kill chelsea and bill and her mama to be president" ..... and besides, she has fat legs .....

Calm down Hamid Masih you wont have to rush to your demise, hillary aint winning. Bama is the next prez, there wont be any wholesale changes, no social revolution, nothing of that sort....it will be business as usual for the most part with subtle changes maybe....he is just the lesser evil from the perspective of the poor of this country. if he tried to do the right thing in middle east someone would rush to suk his dick in oval officen it would lewinski all over again...so i dont think we the Muslims can expect any fairness on a large scale from him so u can calm your neo-con blood thirsty boyfriends...like i said at the most he will be a lesser evil.

As for obama saying that he would bomb pakistan, i would bomb pakistan if pakistan is the mess that it is. If pakistan doesnt want to others interfering in their matters than they should start telling pakistan army to stop meddling in affairs that doesnt concern them, namely judiciary. Have a functioning country and institutions and maybe the rest of the world wouldnt treat u like a brat and whoop u every chance they get. Apni shalwar uttar kay khRay hoggay bharay bazar mein bhai too majma too lagay gaa phir.....

I agree with Hamid, that once Obama is vying for the white house against Mccain, it will force McCain to move a bit to the left and Obama to the right. I hope for McCain to win as the "war on terror" needs to continue (not that Obama would do any thing different), but we need to ensure that the fight is continuing overseas. US presence in Muslim world needs to increase not decrease. laaton kay bhoot baaton say nahin maantay

Hamza, think, while it might impossible, from your cousin marriage produced brain for a second...US policy doesn't change that quickly not should it. Since 9/11...there is a concerted effort on part of the US to destablize or destroy Muslim centers of power or peceived power. Afghanistan and Iraq are one aspect, Palestine has been halved yet again...Pakistan is teetering...Iran is next. Gulf arabs are paying awesome premiums to market buy subsidizing certain underperforming US assets through bailouts meanwhile the investments into alternative energy sources is doubling year over year. This means that gradually over time...the only asset the arabs will be left holding is a stockpile of crude (since they can't extract by themselves) and the world would have moved on to Hydrogen fuel cell driven cars. the future is bright...for the muslim world..one suide bomb at a time.

Re: # 84

chaltahai,

.... i think mccain too needs to move a little bit to the right so that he doesn't piss off the conservative wing of the party .... obama is fine where he is - acutually, there is little difference between him and mccain on most issues and i am sure he will do the right think in this war on terror if he is elected (god forbid) ......

Re: # 91

chalta,

.... personally, i dont worry about the republican base - in the end they will support mccain if he is nominated, like i supported bush ....... however, the independents and reagan democrats can be swayed by obama ....

I think the republican right has been spoiled during the last two elections, Hamid. To the point that they are acting desi...i.e. sitting out in protest. Plus the command or shall I say cacophony of grandstanding on behalf of AM radio personalities which drive a lot of the agenda as mouth pieces of the conservative base are virulently anti-McCain. The are not convinced that he can be a non-Obama, should Obama move more ot the center to go after the regan dems and independents.

hamza, tell me the truth..did you drool uncontrollably when you typed the sentence below? That is a tell tale sign of Trisomy 13. Imagine..if your ammi could have said no to your abbu when she tied rakhi on his hands....tujhay dekh kar bahout dukh hota hai..becharay :((
