Here we go again.
Obama's agenda for healthcare may not be ideal, but I believe it is far better than McCain's rather random non-committal maunderings.
Obama wants to WITHDRAW from Iraq, and I believe at this point that is the only course left to us. McCain wants to continue Bush's policies, which have failed. Yes, violence is down since the surge, but we cannot create a stable government in Iraq. Better to withdraw now and let the inevitable civil war play out. Iraq may have been hostile under Saddam, but at least it was stable, and able to keep Iran at bay on its own. We are looking at an indefinite draw on our military resources that could be better used elsewhere.
Obama wants to do away with the Bush taxcuts. Those taxcuts are a major factor in the growing deficit. Introducing major cuts in taxes at a time when we were prosecuting an expensive war was irresponsible and inexcusable. And yet McCain wants to make them permanent, while we are STILL hemorhaging money into Iraq.
Beyond that, neither side has made their views on less prominent issues clear. But Obama, to me, appears to be rational, logical, and clear-headed.
McCain, on the other hand, has a history of emotional problems, erratic and irresponsible behavior, infidelity(possibly abuse), and bad judgment.
Electing Obama may be a bit of a risk, yes, but McCain is certain doom.
