I’m not going nuts pushing Obama and trying to get people to vote for him. You are doing that for McCain, posting long posts about why we need to vote for him and threatening what will happen if we don’t. So you are indeed being a ‘McCain cheerleader’ even if that’s not your intent.

First, I am not making any threats, I am just talking about the way things are from my viewpoint. We are going to have to make our own decisions based on the facts, but I stepped in to make some points. My post is long because you made a number of points, some I agree with and some I don’t. I wanted to distinguish the two.
One of the key points of disagreement is that you seem to think an Obama presidency would be easily corrected by some future conservative. That’s not what happened after FDR’s New Deal, America was changed permanently. After LBJ’s Great Society, Reagan eventually came around - yet medicare got bigger than ever. And I dont see us unrolling Clinton policies - he took the half-step dont-ask-dont-tell and now gay activists are pushing for the next step. Under Obama, they will get it and it will never be undone once done.
I dont consider myself a McCain cheerleader for making plain facts clear that Obama is an ultra-liberal while McCain is more center-right RINO, and stating there is a difference. I dont agree with McCain on a number of things, but at least there is 60-70% common ground, while with Obama it is more like 5%. Again, its your choice wrt what to do with those facts, but lets not pretend Obama as President wouldnt be much more liberal and in many ways worse than McCain - he would.
