It seems you are more negative McCain now than you were a month ago. Any reason for the change? And although I agree with Matthew in his analysis, I'm afraid I need to correct the record about Bush. He is at least as liberal as McCain. He may be "conservative" on social issues but as a President he has acted more socialist than many liberals. He has institute the largest increases in Federal spending since "The Great Society" and LBJ. The budget went from under $2 trillion when he took office to over $3 this past year. He launched the largest increases the Department of Education (which shouldn't even exist) and Medicare (Which is already a really screwed up system) have seen since LBJ. So, he may be a nice guy, and to be honest, I like the guy and think he's a good guy. However, let's not let that keep us from calling a spade a spade. He is quite liberal in the areas that are going to have the largest impact on the country over the next half century to a century. JPennStar, I know this is almost a month old, but I am surprised.

I do think there needs to be change. I am tired of the old Red and the old Blue. I'm honestly ready for a third party (at the most) and at the very least a move towards Christian principles by both parties; but this is NOT the change Obama is preaching. Obama is a good speaker who makes you feel good but in none of his speechs have I heard a shred of content. This is very typical of Dem/lib strategies. The masses of useful idiots are drawn to the light that makes them feel good. For personal and political reasons he joined the Black power church in Chicago and for the same reasons left it. Do I trust now that his heart has changed or that what he says has changed; typically Dem startegy. And this has absolutely NOTHING to do with race. I'm more likely to vote for MLKj to be president than Obama. McCain is who he says he is and has always been that way and at least I can trust in that. Obama's change will call for more statism and less democracy. More state funded programs for their agendas. More social programs for illegals and people who choose to be lazy. He will pay for this via taxes upon me and others who enjoy the choice to work hard. In good conscience I can't vote for Obama. McBush (I mean McCain) I know, however, will put in constitutional judges, make a reasonable plan to get our of Iraq, not raise taxes, bridge the party divide (more than Bush) and be the status quo Rep and buy time for my generations which is more conservative; we can't ask for more. Nevertheless, this will be an interesting election. More so than Bush v Kerry. If McCain wins he'll have broken the pattern of the young charasmatic Dem always winning over the older Rep. We shall see. As a younger person I am attracted to Obama and this “change” he preachs. I do think there needs to be change. I am tired of the old Red and the old Blue.
