McCain wants my vote
obamesque.wordpress.com — and in Hershey, PA, he said the reason is that his opponents "have faith in government." HUH? Is he kidding? Should we elect a president who thinks government is bad? Look, McCain, taxes and government are here to stay. There's work to be done, there are obviously things to fix, but if you don't trust government what motivates your candidacy?

obamesque.wordpress.com — What would you advise, my friend? You say you’re in favor of changing everything that’s wrong in Washington, you’re trying to reclaim your old label as a maverick - but leaving health care the way it is?

McCain cheated at Saddleback - but WHY?
obamesque.wordpress.com — Was Warren complicit? Unlikely, but possible. More likely either McCain or his staff had this set up (don't tell me he'd be running late to a national broadcast where he didn't have to debate Obama!) Somebody didn't think he could handle it - was it his staff, or McCain himself feeling insecure? Neither gives me any comfort. Why, McCain, WHY? (Submitted by NoDrama) More...
Media pundits echo McCain misinformation. Is it deliberate?
obamesque.wordpress.com — John McCain and Karl Rove’s experience suggests lies are effective campaign tools. It’s no wonder they and the pundits say Obama lacks experience.

McCain and his team have avoided releasing any specifics. Obama will champion tax policies that will impact those who earn a quarter million dollars or more in a year. Both need money to fix the economy, so...? (Submitted by NoDrama) More...

As numerous outside observers agree: McCAIN’S claims that Obama will raise taxes are “WRONG,” “FALSE,” “MISLEADING” Do you trust factcheck.org? It’s misleading to tag Obama for something that was built in to the Bush tax cuts. (Submitted by NoDrama) More...
The media stopped following the money: CONFLICT of INTEREST
obamesque.wordpress.com — Was it big oil money pouring into the "McCain Victory '08 Fund," as the sudden change in McCain’s stand on drilling in environmentally sensitive areas suggests? How will we ever know? There’s no benefit to a commercial news outlet in uncovering the source of the RNC PAC/527 money - they are just trying to get their piece of it. (Submitted by NoDrama) More...
