Mike, More meaningless half-truths. Amazing to me that McCain the self-pronounced maverick and man of integrity runs by instilling fear (as your video highlights) rather than forward looking solutions. Regarding your particular issues:
I’m glad for you that Obama’s raising your taxes, since that means that you make more than $250,000 and represent the richest 5% of Americans. Congratulations upon your success. Also means that, to date, you have paid less tax as a total percent of your income in taxes then the remaining 95% of us.
Obama has clarified his stance vis-a-vis negotiations. He has does not support unconditional discussions, but does support appropriate dialogue with our enemies. THink the Camp David accords, where a right-wing radical (Begin), made peace with the man who launched the Yom Kippur war (Sadat). Might that be a model?
In no way shape or form has Obama announced or discussed any policy that would dismantle America’s military.
Obama seeks to empathize, understand and move forward toward a vision of a better world. Your video seeks to instill more fear. Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, al-Qaeda, Economy. That’s enough fear for me, don’t need more from McCain/Palin.
Puzzles can be fun. The one we discovered lacked two things. First, it wasn’t fun looking at each piece. Secondly, the picture is more frightening than the one shown on the cover of the box. When we put it together it contained some scary pictures. It shows Obama talking to our enemies unconditionally while taking America’s military apart and raising my taxes. This video puts it succinctly:

Neil,
Absolutely agree. Barack Obama is about optimism, constructive dialogue, critical thinking. All the values inherent to Judaism. The John McCain ‘08 campaign represents fear mongering (loshon horah), poor judgment and contempt of intellect. Barack deserves the Jewish vote.
