I am thinking you are having some problems here, let me help. Are you trying to say all republicans are liars, McCain is a republican, and therefore he is a liar? I do not believe this to be true. I have problems with McCain, but I do not accuse him of dishonesty. “Republican=Bush=worst president in history.” I really don’t know what you are trying to say here. Republicans are not all Bush, and Bush was not the worst president in the history of this country. I think that distinction goes to either Nixon or Carter, they were both awful in their special little ways. On the abortion thing, maybe you are right about not all demos support abortion on demand, but as a party it has been on the platform as long as I can remember, and Obama has voted in favor of partial birth abortion on demand. Your contention that Bush has done damage to world opinion of our country I can not answer to because most of the people I know would not agree with that statement. But if you hang out with a bunch of haters who am I to argue. Why is it that most Bush haters think Bush is is either stupid, or a retard of some kind, or an evil genius like Dr. Evil? Just because he has a southern like accent? Accents don’t mean people are stupid. “If we want the economy to improve” How will voting for Obama improve our economy? Increasing federal spending by two or three trillion dollars won’t do it. Both McCain’s and Obama’s tax plans will not support an increase in government spending. We are going to have to cut domestic spending to do that. “release dependance on renewable fuels like oil, natural gas and coal by increasing use of renewable fuels, improve our environment” the demos have done more to increase our dependence on foreign oil in the last thirty years then the repubs have. The demos have blocked wind farm development for the next two years. The demos (as a political party) have done nothing to improve our environment in the last thirty years, some have on an individual basis, but as a party they have come up with lots of rules barring some behavior, but have also done as much as they can to prevent development. (when was the last time we built a nuclear power plant in this country? Who has blocked it?) I don’t really like McCain, he isn’t conservative enough for me, to much of wishy washy centrist (that is the same thing I have against Bush by the way) but there is no reason to vote for Obama other then he has a lot of charisma, and lets face it McCain has all the charisma of room temperature oatmeal.

Barry: Maybe this will help you understand my problem with McCain-Republican=liar, Republican=Bush=worst president in history. McCain=Republican. And tho some do, most Democrats do not believe in abortion on demand. Most believe abortion should be a very sad last resort. I, and others who travel outside the US have seen firsthand the damage Bush has done to world opinion of our country. People have actually asked if Bush is as stupid as he seems. The answer is yes, and what does that say about the people who elected him? If we want the economy to improve, release dependance on renewable fuels like oil, natural gas and coal by increasing use of renewable fuels, improve our environment, use diplomacy to bring peace, and to repair our reputation around the globe, then Obama is our only choice. If, like Barry, you want to continue the status quo, vote the elderly Bushy adulterer, McCain.

Maybe this will help you understand my problem with Obama I believe in the second amendment, the demos think it ought to be repealed for private citizens (if it applies to them at all). I believe in the tenth amendment, the demos haven’t found a fed gov program they don’t like (if you exclude the military and nasa). I believe a voucher system would be a good thing for public education, the competition would do them good and inspire them to do a better job educating students rather then teaching to the lowest common denominator. I believe abortion is murder and should be avoided at all costs (with maybe a proviso for medical emergencies), most demos believe in abortion on demand. I believe in domestic production of energy. The demos are against domestic drilling, they have put a moratorium on wind farms and have done everything they can to throw a monkey wrench in anything having to do with coal or nuke power production. I do not believe in man made global warming, we do not drive the environmental car, it is like a rollercoaster ride and we have to live with it. I believe in securing our borders. I believe that the constitution does not protect non-U.S. citizens against “wire taps” on cell phone conversations that originate outside the U.S. (here is a clue, cell phones are radios. Anyone can buy equipment at rat shack and listen in on any cell phone. If you are talking on a cell phone anyone can listen in on your conversation same as if you were talking on a c.b. radio). In Oregon they send out letters to sick people saying “we don’t want to pay for your cancer treatment, but we will pay for a suicide doctor for you”. That is why the government should be kept as far as possible from having any say in what kind of medical treatment you can have. I don’t much care for McCain either, he is only barely marginally better then a dem, but in today’s political race I will take that wee tiny little bit

McCain doesn’t have spending plans that would add two or three trillion dollars worth of spending to the fed budget like Obama does. If you look at their campaign promises Mr. Obama is spending a lot of money that has to come from somewhere, and his tax cuts won’t cover it. I don’t think either of them is going to cut gov spending in any meaningfull way, but McCain won’t break my back the way it looks like Obama will.

Have you even read any of the Obama bullet points? We are going to take the profits from the people who have it (the big bad oil companies, the evil rich) and we are going to use that money to pay for government controlled health care. I do not want anyone who recomends doctor assisted suicide over cancer treatment to have any say in my health care. All you have to do is look at Oregon, or the VA, to see how good the government health care systems are. The money that the “evil rich” make, or the profits on any business for that matter, are not the governments to take and use to fund giveaway programs with. tivia question: who knows what a profit margin is? if everyone who spent money on gas last week spent an equal amount on pizza then the pizza industry would have billions of dollars in profits. They would probably have even more profits then big oil because the cost of doing business (making and delivering a pizza) is less then the cost of doing business is for big oil. Would you favor taking the “obscene” profits from the “big pizza” industry and using it to fund government give aways? What we need is protection from the government, not more government.

Would you like to go on and on about how Bush is so much more qualified than McCain? It would be about as intelligent as the rest of your thinking process. Again, what socialist programs are you referring to? You mean the “socialist” healthcare program that allows consumers to continue to maintain the exact same healthcare they have today if they are happy with it or to purchase a new policy through another private insurance company or a government-sponsored program? Check the dictionary for the definition of socialism because I don’t think it includes so many options.

Alice, the reason Bush won in 2000 is because Gore lost in every county but one in his home state. If he had won that then Fla wouldn’t have mattered, it could have gone 100 percent Bush and he would have lost. But the people who knew Gore best, the ones he was a senator for, voted for Bush. Go figure. If you think socialism/communism is a great thing look what the USSR did for their European slave states. Great stuff that. If you think government health care is so great try looking at the V.A hospital system in this country. Government healthcare is sad (unless you are in congress or the senate or something). Just ask the people in Oregon who get letters from the government their saying that the state will not pay for this treatment, but if you want to go to a suicide doctor they will pay for that.

McCain is an American hero, but he doesn’t have the capacity to serve as President. After everything, his campaign has been reduced to using the same Bush/Rove marketing techniques to win because they don’t have any other substantial legs to stand on. No more arguments to make except the same old “lets paint the opponent as being anti-American and elitist”. The current president is in office right now because the American people were duped, period. Don’t get duped this election. Don’t let the negative advertising blur our vision from seeing the real issues. Barack will get us out of Iraq responsibly. Barack has a healthcare plan that offers consumers a choice between a government-sponsored package and keeping your own private insurance. Barack can restore our respect throughout the world and he can restore the strength of our military by offering creative incentives like more tuition assistance and by simply using our troops for only those missions that are worthy of our lives and our resources. He also has a plan to help lower-income kids get more tuition assistance in exchange for community involvement (or military service). Barack has a better long-term plan for reducing our dependence on foreign oil. While we’re told the only way out is to drill, drill, drill… “$11,680,000,000 Exxon Mobil’s record results—the biggest quarterly profit ever” (Chicago Tribune, 8/01/08). Check the quarterly earnings for last several YEARS for big oil… it’s more of the same. Don’t fall for it this time… vote for Obama.

Obama’s tax plan benefits middle class more: The two candidates’ plans would have sharply different distributional effects. Senator McCain’s tax cuts would primarily benefit those with very high incomes, almost all of whom would receive large tax cuts that would, on average, raise their after-tax incomes by more than twice the average for all households. Many fewer households at the bottom of the income distribution would get tax cuts and those whose taxes fall would, on average, see their after-tax income rise much less. In marked contrast, Senator Obama offers much larger tax breaks to low- and middle-income taxpayers and would increase taxes on high-income taxpayers (over 200k). The largest tax cuts, as a share of income, would go to those at the bottom of the income distribution, while taxpayers with the highest income would see their taxes rise. - Tax Policy Center

Lets see - the Obama campaign has been trying to define McCain as Bush but the McCain campaign should not try to define Obama? Bit hypocritical don’t you think? Per the article, the change in the McCain campaign just occurred and the poll was on 6/18/08 so there is no relationship to the two. Perhaps it has more to do with Ohio being a middle right state and Senator Obama being a true left candidate. As the Times notes, he is an unknown quantity. He has not as of yet convinced voters that his type of change is good or that he can be trusted. He is promoting an activist government as his solution. To many, this is a tough sell. All one needs to do is look at the Congress, its history under both Democrats and Republicans, and see that if it were a business, it would long ago have failed. Senator Obama is asking us to trust politicians and government, give it more of our money so they can redistribute it as opposed to allowing individual Americans to make that choice.

They don’t really much look alike and other then being centrist republicans they really don’t have all that much in common (unless you are a irrational Bush hater, then for some reason you see McCain as a clone of someone much younger then he is. How does that work exactly?)

Gee, I wonder why!?! In case you had any doubt, today’s NY Times confirms that the Bush/Rove crew has taken over McCain’s campaign. From the team that brought us two wars, a recession, the housing crisis and so much more, now we get a vicious campaign for a third term. Hopefully people are smarter this time around and will not buy their lies.

Other then sponsor a bill to send over 800 billion dollars overseas for some kind of humanitarian aid, what has Obama done for me? That is billion, with a b, way to much money to be giving away. Where is that money going to come from? There isn’t that much left in my paycheck to take. I suppose out of control spending on social issues is a good thing for a president, at least he won’t be wasting it on our military when we are fighting a war. (that last bit was sarcasm). I don’t much like McCain, but there is no way on earth I can afford Obama.
