Yes, we can...

...spend and spend and spend (somebody elese's money) to infinity. While both men, McCain and Obama, have interesting if not "colorful" backgrounds, each of them overcoming insurmountable obstacles to rise to commendable (now, that's debatable!) positions, both of them are completely out of touch. My guess is they probably have their hearts in the right place but neither of them intend to cut out any of their proposed spending on the heels of a financial collapse that has just added $700 B to our deficit. Just who, pray tell, are they planning to borrow the money from, 'cause I'm pretty sure we're tapped? I would even assert that they're both complicit on some level to the mess we're in.

Obama, eloquent and masterful has everyone in a trance and doesn't have to do much at this juncture to win friends. Sadly, President Bush has destroyed our country paving the way for such a knight in shining armour to emerge with the promise of government to the rescue. I am ardently more libertarian in this matter believing that more and bigger government creates more subjugation and dependency. McCain is a sheep in wolf's clothing (and a bad debater, too) with all his talk of getting government out of the way yet he wants to buy mortgages, provide amnesty for illegals, remain in Iraq, defend the Patriot Act, and countless other policies that conflict with my values. Both men are insulting to intelligent and informed persons.

It looks like Obama has clearly got this thing in the bag but I bid you, can we in good conscience turn our future over to either of these goons who will further expand the over-inflated size of government and strip us of any shred of freedom we still have? No, we shouldn't.
