Depends on what issues are most important to you. If you don't care about paying more taxes, surrendering to the Muslims, nationalized health care, free government money for education and unemployed, Supreme Court, then I suppose there is little difference. I don't care for about 30% of what McCain stands for and don't trust him on another 20%. But that is still far better than the damage Obama could do with a Democratic Senate and House.
How sure are you about McCain and tax cuts?! He opposed the Bush tax cuts and has claimed he 'doesn't understand the economy'.
He's against waterboarding and wants to close down Gitmo.
He's talked about a national health care plan.
He won't be stripping or trimming entitlements, especially for 'God's children'.
He'll supposedly appoint justices like Roberts and Alito - what about Scalia or Thomas? Do you think he is more or less conservative than George H.W. Bush? Look what he gave us.
And what's with this bilge about global warming?
McCain is a nitemare candidate. Oh, and a little issue called immigration. DISASTER.
Obama may be double the disaster but a disaster is a disaster!
It's insulting that anyone on FR, supposedly a place of principle, should be pushing this RINO.
Well said!
Bump that.
Excellent Post! That’s my take on McCain too.
I’ll vote for him in November...but that’s only because the alternative (Clinton or Obama) is too awful to contemplate.
I voted by the same rationale in 2004. Four years later I can clearly see the flaw in that rationale.
The argument that a vote on principle could in any way (short of ballot fraud) be a wasted vote is the number one lie that continues to keep the enemies of freedom in public office. To vote from fear rather than from principle is to undermine the very freedom to vote in the first place.
