mindmeld,

Energy/Oil Independence = he has a big plan on this; this SHOULD BE a Republican position

A big plan that will not work should be a Republican position? A plan that does not have nuclear energy is not a plan, but a dream of a dreamer. His plan for nuclear energy is FUD.

These candidates have 2 options:
1. be guided by physics, economics and math
2. stick your finger in the air to see what sells among Democrat primary voters.

His position on energy / energy independence solidly follows option 2.

Economy = he wants to rebuild the middle class; this SHOULD BE a Republican position

Yeah, right. A politicians can rebuild the middle class. What else can he do? Transform water to wine, heal the sick, perform miracles?

BTW, one of my favorite movies is the Invasions of the Body Snatchers, and sometimes I wonder: Does it make any sense to resist to the very end? Aren't you, the people who have gone through the conversion (to the mindless robots) happier?

Obama wants to raise the capital gains tax. Dividends tax.
