Choices, Choices, and More Choices

We have some choices to make in the 2008 Presidential Race. WE can elect the Democrat candidate Senator Obama, Senator McCain the Republican candidate, or some Third Party Candidate. It would appear that 3rd. Party candidates are long shots at becoming President. This leaves the other two choices, Obama or McCain as the probable victor. The Question remains how are they different or alike?

I think your choice will be pretty much determined by by what & how You view Government in our society. Let's review their records in public service. This should give us some insight into how each would govern.

Senator Obama; if one reviews his limited record as a United Senator, what becomes obvious is, He is the most liberal person there. He consistently supports larger Government, with more government control in all matters, domestic & privet, in simple terms more intrusion in your every day activities. His stated tax policies should frighten all citizens of this country "rich & poor". His record in the Illinois State Government if anything is even further to the left than as a US Senator. Look at his record, is this who you want for President?

Senator McCain; has a more extensive public office record to examine. Sen. McCain prides himself on being called a Maverick Senator. What exactly does that mean to me? It means that his position on many issues were based on stifling Conservative values, as a means of getting even with people who did not support him for president in 2000. It actually goes deeper than that since this behavior started well before 2000. McCain has a mean streak which shows up quite often, especially when he perceives a slight to what he desires. The straight talk express is a laugh, I've been around long enough to remember the Lincon Savings & Loan skulduggery. More reticently his amnesty positions etc. Look at his record then decide is this the person you want for President?

TO come to a conclusion! I Suspect Senator Obama will be our next President. This is not a choice I personally favor, that said I hope all of us look closely at our Congress People during this election period. This Congress has less than a 10% approval rating, "HOW DISMAL", I will expound on some of our choices there in another post.
