In my view McCain is a lesser of two evils choice. I did not vote for him in the primary and I have never liked him much and I don't like how he flips-flops on issues.
Here is what I find most amazing. First, if you don't know, I am a "capitalist". I am proud of being a "capitalist", on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being as "capitalist" as you can get, I am about a 9.9. If on the other extreme you place "socialism" on the scale, and I am not saying Obama or anyone else is a pure "socialist" or at 1, but why aren't the people who favor "socialism" or have "socialism" tendencies proud of what they believe in. Obama's approach to economic policy is clearly more "socialist" than "capitalist", why is he trying to hide what he really believes?
Oh, and...
Don't tell me that the "bailout plan" is this or that, I did support it.
Don't tell me our tax code has always had some "redistribution" qualities - I think our tax code needs to be scrapped and re-written.
Don't tell me "corporate welfare" is socialism - I don't support government subsidies of private business.
Don't tell me Republican support "socialism" too - I don't.
Like I said I am a "capitalist". And, being a "capitalist" doesn't mean I don't care about people, I just prefer to help people on my terms, not the governments. Just like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, who made billions and are now doing good things with their billions on their terms. the Gates Foundation is likely to do more good on causes like Aids and education than our federal government - simply because $1 spent can more directly go to the cause or those needing the $1.
O.k., thanks I am done blowing off steam.
