<< McCain will not push oil prices higher the way these two partisans did, and Obama would be a total about face of ripping off middle class Americans to pay off oil barons.>> True, but McCain agrees with Bush on the need for the government to go right on spending. McCain is promising to renew ALL of President Bush's tax cuts which are due to expire at the end of 2010. Furthermore, McCain promises to maintain and even ramp up the "war on terror" presently taking place in Iraq and Afghanistan. There is no change here. According to both presidential contenders, their function is to spend. The function of the American "taxpayer" is to underwrite it. I'm an economic conservative, social liberal and a "dove" on foreign policy. So, no candidate fits my philosophy precisely. However, my rebellion against Death will force me to choose "the lesser of two evils" here, namely Obama. If reckless spending is a necessary "evil", I want it to be oriented toward "middle class" tax cuts.
