But you forgot the other side of the coin... Romney and McCain also exhibit shortcomings (as I posted) that are arguably worse, because they also drain the treasury just as much as the other side, they kill people imposing their ideas, AND they create enemies for our grandchildren to deal with... for NO good reason.

Look, Nutty lefts THINK they are doing the right thing, just like nutty Rights think THEY are... but they are both wrong.

It's my estimation that the crazy wars we've been in are more detrimental because they waste just as much money AND they create enemies:

When a country is in harmony,
the factories make trucks and tractors.
When a country goes out of balance,
warheads are stockpiled outside the cities.

There is no greater illusion than fear,
no greater wrong than preparing to defend yourself,
no greater misfortune than having an enemy.

Whoever can see through all fear
will always be safe.

This is all to say nothing about the rights version of making rules: bible thumping moralists that think they know what god things.... scary stuff guy... you DONT want those idiots with their fingers on the NUKE buttons.... sorry.

Finally, another major problem with the right is their lack of understanding about the importance of the environment... probably because there isn't a scientist worth his salt in the whole freakin party:

When man is in harmony,
the sky is clear and spacious,
the earth is solid and full,
all creature flourish together,
content with the way they are,
endlessly repeating themselves,
endlessly renewed.

When man interferes too much,
the sky becomes filthy,
the earth becomes depleted,
the equilibrium crumbles,
creatures become extinct.
