I don't understand why they say stuff like this either, but it's obviously the latest GOP talking points. And yes the DNC has it's own stupid talking points. It's as if both parties have come to realize the average US voter votes based on what sound bite they hear last.
Personally I support Obama not because I think he's the answer to all our problems. Several of his ideas I disagree with, I simply disagree with fewer of his ideas then McCain's.
I saw some talking head yesterday explaining why Obama will be so bad for the country. He basically went point by point down the list of things McCain, Bush and the GOP believe will help our economy, our energy situation and our standing in the world. He presented a case that Obama wants to change these policies and that would hurt the country. Well if the GOP's policies will help the country so much how come after eight years of near complete free run the nation is so screwed up?
You can go back and look and the GOP has always talks about smaller government, less spending. Every time they've held power the spending goes up and government gets bigger. Every GOP admin, IMHO, has hit the middle class. Bush II's has just about given it a knock out blow.
I listen and read Palin's positions and ideas and I can't find one I agree with. McCain's voted with Bush roughly 90% of the time. I think the Bush II administration is a complete and total failure. I'm not voting for a guy who's agreed with him 90% of the time.
That's why I support Obama and would have supported any Dem over McCain. I signed up some time ago to donate a monthly amount to Obama. Basically when I moved to Mexico I lost a car payment. Back in April I decided to start sending him that amount. I wonder what they think when they get a monthly donation that ends with $_84.67?
