pan, I was basing my comments not so much on you pro-McCain views as your anti-Obama views. Which, based on the things you say, aren't grounded in anything like reality. From this side of it, it appears to be pure emotional knee-jerk on your part. Which is perfectly okay; in that respect you're similar to I'd guess 90% of the electorate.
I pretty much agree with your views on sex education and contraception, and so, more or less, does Obama. But you feel pandered to by him, so your emotional pull is not to trust him. Even though McCain has said right out loud that his views are the opposite of yours on this issue. Makes very little sense to me not to support the guy who says he thinks the same thing you think, but I don't really have an emotional dog in the fight, so I guess it wouldn't make sense to me.
