Betting on John McCain
The fun parts in the article are how he points out the extent to which The One's economic ideas are more like Bush's than McCain's.

Yeah it does sound like a gamble.

The other week you were saying how great George Bush's economic record was and now you are saying McCain is the opposite of Bush whereas Obama is exactly the same as Bush in terms of economic policy. So who do you want people to vote for again, I'm a bit confused now I thought you were a Republican?

I'm not a Republican. Having done the research I know with certainty that McCain the best bet for President this election cycle. If McCain were a Libertarian or even a Democrat I would still make the same argument--provided the Democrats could actually tolerate within their ranks a politician who can do more than pontificate about how wrong, evil, and misguided America is, and what a crying shame it is that America isn't just like Europe.

Also, I'm not saying The One is exactly like Bush. He's not. Bush was and is an advocate of a progressive tax system but he did actually lower taxes. The One will raise them--that alone should be sufficient cause to disqualify him from public office. Bush did expand government--although not nearly to the extent that The One contemplates. The One is the worst aspects of Bush (big government and big spending) with none of the good aspects (leadership, courage, vision) of Bush.

McCain has the good aspects of Bush (leadership, courage, vision) with fewer of the worst aspects (not nearly tough enough on spending in my book).

Who do I want people to vote for? McCain. He's the best choice this election cycle.

Not to get into a pissing match... but I would be more certain in the venues that I visit that such orders would be followed.

Just saying,

It's probably against the law to pay people to vote a certain way though.

Don't I have "White Priviledge?"

I wouldn't do it, but you know what I mean.

Why wouldn't they be allowed to vote... technically they are free, and as long as they are citizens and not felons...

It's probably a good thing I haven't made up my mind on who to vote for, eh? I couldn't use that influence for such a thing, I do have some standards.

Oh, "convicted felons."
That's another block of voters that Abadabba won't be getting.

Don't forget the dead. They are a huge voting block in Cook County.
It is the one benefit of living through the insanity, you get to vote once you have passed on.
