In light of the recent "debate", and I use that term very loosely, I would like to examine the stances of both Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain.
Support a withdrawl of US troops from the Middel East and the rest of the world?
Obama-No McCain-No
Opposed to the theft of 350 million Americans that has been generously titled a "bailout?"
Obama-No McCain-No
Want to lower taxes across the board for all citizens regaurdless of income?
Obama-No McCain-No
Promise to never raise taxes?
Obama-No McCain-No
Want to return to a sound economic policy with dollars backed by gold?
Obama-No McCain-No
Discuss monetary policy and the Federal Reserve's role in it?
Obama-No McCain-No
Want to decrease the size and power of government?
Obama-No McCain-No
Curb government spending?
Obama-No(hell its his entire campaign goal) McCain-No
Want to abolish the Patriot Act outright? Not alter it, but ABOLISH IT?
Obama-No McCain-No
Fight inflation?
Obama-No McCain-No
Talk about inflation and/or its causes and effects on our dollar?
Obama-No McCain-No
Promise "change" so much they are now beating an entire stable of dead horses to death?
Obama-YES McCain-YES
Want real change in econmic, fiscal, social and foreign policy?
Obama-No McCain-No
Want to abolish the IRS and get rid of the crippling income tax?
Obama-No McCain-No
Want the government to absorb more and more responsibilities of the private sector?
Obama-YES McCain-YES
Want government to spend more money on any given goal?
Obama-YES McCain-YES
Want the government to regulate more of our economic and personal interactions?
Obama-YES McCain-YES
Are both horrible choices for president?
Obama-YES YES YES McCain-YES YES YES
Notice a pattern here? Most of the topics I listed THEY DO NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT! The only differences these two candidates have is what they want to spend government money on. Neither of them want to lower everyone's taxes and give power of choice back to the consumer. Obama wants the Nanny-State to run everything from education to healthcare. Because apprently the state has done such a bang up job on running the war, the economy and is responsible with our tax dollars.....o wait.
Sen. McCain pays lip service to conservative fiscal policy but wants to create a government oversight commitee called the Mortgage and Financial Institution's Trust; or as he called it then MFI. I will link the video of that at the end of this article. How Sen. McCain are you going to decrease government size, power and spending by creating another damn committe?
Other than what they want to spend your money on, there is next to nothing that separtes these two. Infact they agree on a lot of the same actions, such as the bailout, more government spending etc. The specifics are irrelivant because the constant for both is more government, more spending, same intrusive foreing policy, same broken monetary policy and more telling US the people how WE the people can act.

Once again telling it like it is Mr. Jefferson and "like it is" rather scares me! As this debate has concluded and the future discourses are scheduled, I hope Americans take a good look at whom they have voted for to be their nominees. You are absolutely right. They may see two candidates that are claiming to be so different, they might as well be running mates.
Excellent job once again!
Respectfully,
-Mr. Jackson
Some people are voting on absolute emotion and I feel that each party has leaders that are very right or left-winged.
Nevertheless, I agree that both candidates have similar solutions and both preaching about "change." This "change" will not happen within four years and lets hope that some reform occurs within eight. Whomever is in office will be the "clean-up" of the Bush administration and that mess will take more than four years to clean.
Mr. Lincoln
