The fact that Obama voted no for the war in Iraq proves he has some brains.

The facts that McCain wants to continue the war in Iraq and continue tax breaks for the wealthy proves he chooses to be a Dubya clone and carry on with more destruction, wasteful spending, resulting in more economic havoc and remaining in the status quo.

What in the world is wrong with the thought process of John Q. Public that thinks that McCain would be a good president?

Like Dubya, he is a stubborn as the day is long. Wanting to continue the tax breaks for the wealthy proves he doesn't care one iota for the general public, just like Dubya. Wanting to continue that illegal, immoral, expensive war in Iraq proves he's not dealing in reality.

And here he is neck and neck with Obama in the polls. The Republican spin machine has Obama supposedly a terrorist of sorts.

Like the Republicans had Bush as being the better man when he was running against Gore and then Kerry, he obviously wasn't.

Now the GOP is trying for the hat trick to get another Bush clone perceived as the better man.

What a joke! How many times can John Q. Public be led astray?

Does America need four more years of the Republicans making the rich richer and the poor poorer?

Granted, the Democrats could be better than they are.

But they are and always have been better than the GOP, who have one train of thought.

And that is to rule with an iron hand, totally disregarding the public they are supposed to be doing the will of.

It will truly be a sad day (another four years of sad days) if McCain gets elected.

The majority of the public can expect to be totally ignored once again if this comes to pass.

And John Q. Public will once again have no one to blame but himself (herself).
