But, between Obama and McCain there are other very fundamental and critical differences that, IMHO, are worthy of consideration in determining how to vote in this disgusting election presidential election cycle.
When it comes to the foreign war against Islamic Jihad, when it comes to drilling for oil and producing nuclear power and moving towards energy independence, when it comes to taxes, when it comes to the likely Supreme Court makeup, when it comes to abortion, when it comes to the 2nd emendment, when it comes to at least some fiscal responsibility in spending...the differences are stark.
Do not get me wrong, I am not saying that McCain is nearly "optimum" in those areas, but the differences between him and Obama are strong there and McCain's positions are muich closer to our end of the spectrum.
We face a sorry choice for president amongst the candidates who have any hope of winning this cycle...and yet we face a monumental choice.
With McCain we have a real chance to hold ground and retain some critical conservative principles and hope to buy time for the next cycle. With Obama, we invite the absolute apex of the hate-America, domestic enemey forces into the dining room and sit him at the head of the table. My choice will be much more against that than it will be for McCain.
But each has to make up his or her own mind in that regard.
