The bottom line... is the country better off now and headed in the right
direction vs. when Clinton was in office. If you believe it is, vote for
McCain/Palin. If you believe it isn't, vote for Obama/Biden. If you're
still unsure vote for Nader and you'll figure it out after January 20th
and Bush is reelected.

That is such a wrong analogy. The question is who do we trust to correct
it, not who caused the problem. The problems happened with Bush, but were
also caused by liberal policies. McCain is the better man among our
choices. I agree he isn't the best choice, but is miles ahead of Obama
and his socialistic ideas for America.


Well, I don't think it's completely wrong, but I understand your point. It's
not just about who caused it. The problems happened under Bush and were
caused by fake conservative policies. McCain was among those who advocated
for the failed policies of deregulation, but he wasn't alone either on the
Republican side or on the other side. Certainly, there is a level of
complicity on both sides. The problem is that the Republicans have been in
charge for the last 10 years, and they had plenty of opportunity to assert
true conservative fiscal measures, but they didn't.

You claim that McCain is the better choice, but history shows that his 26
years in Congress doesn't support that notion. He used "poor judgement"
during the Keating affair. He, by his own words, voted 90% with Bush. After
his loss in 2000 to Bush, he wanted to roll back the tax cuts. I thought
that was correct. Now, he's totally against such a roll-back. I certainly
agree he's not the best choice. And, I still don't understand this
"socialist" drumbeat. McCain voted for the crappy bailout and in the same
breath calls gov't intervention a bad thing and socialist. This makes no
sense.
