Lost freedom is very, very costly to get back.

I agree. That's exactly what will happen with either socialist candidate. The difference between Obama and McCain is that the former is blatant in his support for socialism while the latter takes more effort to cover it up under the guise of conservatism.

I’m confident McCain will be loyal to Palin.

You have it 180 degrees backwards. McCain doesn't have to be loyal to Palin. VP's have to be loyal to their future boss. He selected her because she, like any running mate, agrees to support the Presidential candidate on at least a majority of the issues. That's not a comforting thought given his socialist stance on many key issues over the years including amnesty for illegal aliens, the human induce global warming fallacy, restriction of free speech under the pretense of campaign finance reform and the latest socialist scam of a bail out this past week.

Not only does Obama agree with all these positions but McCain went to the extreme of sponsoring legislation on the former three with flaming socialists Teddy Kennedy, Joe Lieberman and Russ Feingold. It is astounding how people can so easily delude themselves into believing McCain will be any better than his fellow socialist or that a neophyte politician on the federal level will suddenly and miraculously convert McCain to conservatism. It not only shows how far the country has moved to the socialist left but also the resulting desperation of people to latch onto someone who pretends to be conservative.
