Tax increases or tax cuts.
Limited government or full blown socialism.

Boy, you really don't research out your candidates do you?

John McCain voted against President Bush's tax cuts calling them tax-cuts for the rich.

John McCain has said nothing of consequence about limited government, in fact, he wants to implement the Carbon Cap and trade system to deal with the scam Global Warming, wait, it is now Climate Change because the last 10 years of cooling has wiped out the Global Warming.

Anyway, he wants to implement the Carbon Cap and Trade system which will need a brand new Government Department to run complete with many more employees, much more regulation, etc., etc.

And it will end up destroying the American Economy.

So much for his small government and fiscal conservative credentials.

I totally disagree with McCain on Global Warming™, cap and trade, etc. There are countless things I disagree with him on. There are countless things I disagree with President Bush on, too. But I still voted for him, and would again if I had it all to do over again.

On the big issues, I agree with McCain. There is very little common ground, if any, with me and Obama or Hillary.
Victory or retreat in Iraq is the big one for me. That alone makes or breaks it.

McCain certainly has some intrusive ideas regarding the role of government. But they pale in comparison to the ideas of either Democrat. And most importantly, McCain wants to cut wasteful pork barrel spending. Both Democrats want to expand government spending exponentially.

I think the one area where McCain has the most credibility is on that issue, and I think it is the one issue where Republicans, and conservatives in particular, have lost faith in the Republican party, and politicians in general.

I do think that John McCain is the one candidate who can really restore that trust. It seems to me like it is the congressional Republicans who are resisting any effort to restore the American people’s trust in Republicans as the vanguards of American tax dollars. It is the congressional Republicans who still just don’t get it, that they blew our trust. McCain gets that, and perhaps as president, he can drag the rest of them along, kicking and screaming.
