I didn't attack you. I asked a fair question. For someone to obscure the obvious fact that McCain voted for Alito/Roberts and Obama voted against leads me to the question. How else to explain it? But hey, I apologize anyway (how McCain like of me, har har.) It was a rough statement, I grant you, and I retract it. I hope you accept my humble apology.
But how can you miss the obvious difference? What you said makes it even starker, that Obama is to the left of Reid, Rockefeller et al. (Actually, Byrd and Landrieu voting yea isn't that surprising. Weren't they gang of 14ers? I think they pledged not to filibuster.)
He’s running for the DNC Chair spot. Obviously...
Mandatory Free Market Solutions...wtf?
Okay... so McCain voted for Roberts and Alito.
Now tell me, has McCain *EVER* voted against *ANY* Scotus nominee?
Thank you!

I don't know. But I know Obama has, and I know why. That's as far as it has to go for me to have that issue sorted out. McCain yes. Obama no.
Ha! The McCain campaign just sent me an ill-timed donation request, so I enclosed the following letter:
Dear Senator McCain,
I hope the FEC doesn’t mind my contributing $1 Billion in political advice to save your campaign from continuing it’s “global warming” political policy blunder.
1. Average surface temperatures around the globe have not increased in the last 10 years.
2. Ocean temperatures have decreased in the most recently measured 5 years.
3. WATER VAPOR comprises over 90% of all “greenhouse gases”, and ALL attempts to ACURATELY model causes in variations in water vapor in the atmosphere have FAILED!
4. CO2 is a LAGGING component in global temperature cycles, NOT a leading indicator!
5. Human behavior is NOT a factor in global climate change, BUT THE SUN IS!
6. If you’re serious about controlling global atmospheric pollution, talk to India and China and leave me alone until that mess is cleaned up.
7. 11 of 13 Polar Bear populations have thrived over the last 25 years, so quit USING them as some kind of tear jerk, political pawn.
Sincerely,
I’m optimistic that McCain will win, and that some of what he accomplishes will be beneficial. Lord knows GWB has to go. He’s useless.
So the guy that nominated Alito and Roberts is useless, but one of the guys that voted for them will be beneficial? Sorry, any way you slice it, we are SCREWED.
GWB had his chance. He's simply mangled the job so badly that at this point, he's useless. Back in early 2001, he was able to get some small marginal rate cuts. And with the prodding of the base we got what appear to be two good SCOTUS picks. And he started out tough against Al Quaida. But by now he's done. Spent. America is through with him.
Now it will be someone else's turn. I'm optimistic it will be McCain, and that some good will come from it.
