Practically Speaking

Obama's support of Cap and Trade will send American jobs right out of America. Universal Health Care will bankrupt the country.  Is there any hope that Obama supporters will investigate his stances and their consequences before they cast their vote for him?  This guy would be worse than Carter.

Kyle, Our pols have already solved the debt problem. You'll understand how when they begin expressing the monetary exchange rate in "wheel barrels full of dollars per euro'.

I figure they'll probably also begin to discuss publicly the presence of all those "guest workers" in the country about the time the unemployment rate tops 50%.

Till then, brace yourself for a stimulating debate on gay marriage, global warming, along with a host of other wedge issues carefully crafted to keep us voting with our guts rather than our heads.

Viva Ron Paul !!!

Whether or not John McCain stands with or against Bush depends on when you take your snapshot.  For much of his career, he has been a free thinking independent, and not consistently conservative, thus the lukewarm response to his nomination from the far right.  At this point, however, he has moved much closer to Bush, probably most dramaticly with his flip-flop on the permanent tax cuts for the super-rich.  He, of course, has consistently stood by Bush in his ill-advised and unpopular war.  Some believe that he needs the core Bush support to raise money, because he cannot match the fundraising of Obama.  For these reasons, Dems will use the recent photo-op of the Bush-McCain embrace as a campaign rallying cry, and it is not a dirty trick.  It is simply pointing out that, at this moment in time, McCain has moved much closer to Bush as a political expediency.  

Finally, I am always amused when Rebublicans talk about debt in the context of the presidency.  The simple fact is that in the last 48 years, only Nixon and Ford have been responsible in terms of reducing debt.
