Paired with one of the lowest state income taxes in the country. You gotta look for the whole picture.

Thank you Clod - thats exactly what I'm trying to do.

Yes, but it's been my opinion before it became part of Obamas's campaign strategy. McCain has been Bush's cheerleader for a long time now.

Twice, I couldn't decide who would be best for the country, so I voted for the guy that I thought would do best for me personally. Both choices turned into BIG regrets. Nixon & Bush. I'm convinced McCain would be the third. :o

Clearly the big immediate issue is the economy. I'm not convinced that one of them is better equipped than the other to do anything about it, but Obama has tapped into a bunch of the old Clinton economic advisers, and I think Clinton did a great job managing the economy. So that makes me lean toward Obama when it comes to the economy. I like Obama's talk about the middle class being important. I'm not sure he can do anything for us, but at least he's talking about it. I honestly believe McCain will continue on the path of rewarding corporations. So on the economy, I'm solidly behind Obama.

I think the most important issue facing us today is the energy issue. I think the correct approach on energy is to develop as many alternative sources as possible and to try our best to minimize our dependence on foreign oil. Because coal and oil are raising the temperature of the planet, I think we should get as far away from them as possible. I think we should dramatically expand nuclear energy, and also expand wind, solar, biomass, tidal, geothermal, and anything else that makes sense. We should also use a carrot and stick approach to reduce consumption.

I think McCain is only paying lip service to alternative energy. The "Drill, baby. Drill!" chants show where he really stands, but I think he also genuinely wants to increase nuclear energy, which I like.

I think Obama really is serious about alternative energy and is only paying lip service to nuclear. He's saying drilling isn't the answer. I haven't heard either of them talk about reducing consumption.

Neither one of them has any executive experience. The only thing they have run are their campaigns. I think Obama has done an outstanding job running his campaign organization. I think McCain has been reckless and impulsive in many of his moves.

McCain used to be able to legitimately claim he is a maverick, but he can't claim that anymore. He's sucked up to Bush to get to this point. Obama has never pretended to be a maverick. Both McCain and Obama are partisan.

I honestly believe that George W. Bush is a miserable failure. He's the worst president in our country's history. McCain is tied closely to Bush, as much as he likes to say he's a maverick. Obama would make the pendulum swing back in the other direction. It might not be the direction that I agree with completely, but it's close enough. I'm voting for Obama in large part because I don't like Bush.

If McCain is elected, I think we will be better off than we are under Bush, but I think we'll be even better off under Obama.

One Bush one time, Two Bushes twice, or two bushes three times? :rolleyes:

Nixon & W. :(

Dub TWICE?

heheeeeeheehe

You can still be sent back to your old job.:eyebrow:

Eeeeek.

See, I still keep thinking they're going to try to hold me to contract or something!

I'll be good, I promise! (bats eyes and looks innocent)

You'd better, I'd hate to have to beat down someone as cute as you are. ;)

THNORT!
