Sure, Barack Hussein Obama would be SOOOO MUCH better. (SARCASM on my part, but apparently a lot of others here seem to believe that he would be preferable to McCain)

You're not understanding the big picture. Nobody here is saying that Obama as a candidate is better than McCain on the issues. But Obama would be opposed by the Republicans in congress, while McCain - with the exact same liberal legislation - would be followed over the cliff by those same Republicans. McCain will tarnish the GOP and any future election chances, while Obama would likely cause a Carter-like reaction and in the end, help the cause. You need to think beyond the simple single issues, because while McCain is not much better than the dems - he can cause much more long-term damage to the country and conservatism.
