Debates completed; So What?

The three debates are finished thank goodness. How anyone would expect deriving any detailed information from them "90 second soundbites" escapes me. People supporting Obama or McCain still are based upon these spectacles. I don't seriously believe any independent or undecided voters were swayed by these debates. You could characterize the performances this way Obama won on style & oratory talent & McCain at least held his own against a handsomer younger charismatic opponent. All this equals zero value.

About the only thing with any certainty to come out between these two candidates is Obama will raise taxes on all wage earners regardless of how highly paid they are. McCain will continue attempting to keep the existing tax rates in place but will fail in the effort.

I have stated in previous post McCain is a moderate Senator at best, on most things he is quite liberal. He does display a conservative nature on
things when it is a budget orientated item. Obama is a large Government Tax & Spend Bureaucrat with the most liberal position in the Senate today. What more do you need to know?

I live in California & am a registered Republican (this party's supposedly Conservative) so they garnered my support on that basis.I do not believe this is true any more. My support waivers; not that I would support the Democrat Party & their philosophy in any manner. Being a California resident allows me freedoms that others in closely contested States just do not have.

California will be a democrat State this year as usual. I can therefore vote for a Candidate from the Libertarian or Constitution Parties. You can argue this is a throw away vote, not so in California; it's going to the Democrats anyway. What this does is send a message to the Republican Party get back to your conservative base, or it's bye bye from me and many others for ever!
