Reply #9: I wonder how McCain would have handled a lot of things.......

[Joe the Liberal]

for this pirate issue I'd assume he would have just bombed the boat killing the pirates along with anyone else on board, plus he would have probably invaded Somalia. We would be at war with Iran and Russia (over the whole Georgia invasion last year), while at the same time there would be huge surges of troops in Iraq/Afghanistan with no timetable for withdrawal. To get all those troops there would be a draft for sure.

Domestically there would be huge tax cuts for the rich all across the board to the point where they only pay about 5% or so. All of the middle and lower class taxes would sky rocket along with unemployment, in which crime would rise as a result. With Palin as VP all abortion clinics would be closed down, stem cell research abolished while all of the scientists would be arrested. Some form of Christian law would be implemented as well. Our National Parks would be open for oil and mining companies, plus be used as toxic waste dumps. All funding for education, health care and science would be completely cut off and instead that money would be distributed to the wealthy and mega corporations.

That is what I'm guessing would be a taste of what McCain would have done since the election.
