The myth of John McCain hinges on two transformations — from pampered flyboy to selfless patriot, and from Keating crony to incorruptible reformer — that simply never happened. But there is one serious conversion that has taken root in McCain: his transformation from a cautious realist on foreign policy into a reckless cheerleader of neoconservatism.
"He's going to be Bush on steroids," says Johns, the retired brigadier general who has known McCain since their days at the National War College. "His hawkish views now are very dangerous. He puts military at the top of foreign policy rather than diplomacy, just like George Bush does. He and other neoconservatives are dedicated to converting the world to democracy and free markets, and they want to do it through the barrel of a gun."
Christopher Buckley, the son of conservative icon William F. Buckley, said Tuesday he's resigned from the conservative National Review days after endorsing Barack Obama's White House bid, among the most powerful symbols yet of the conservative discontent expressed this election cycle.

"Eight years of 'conservative' government has brought us a doubled national debt, ruinous expansion of entitlement programs, bridges to nowhere, poster boy Jack Abramoff and an ill-premised, ill-waged war conducted by politicians of breathtaking arrogance. As a sideshow, it brought us a truly obscene attempt at federal intervention in the Terry Schiavo case," he also wrote.
the biggest thing I dont like about Obama, and he said it several times in the debate last night is that he keeps using the phrase "for those that can afford it" meaning for those that can afford to pay higher taxes they should, people, businesses, etc, for those that can afford to pay for other people to have health care should, thats just not very American, it is very European, but not American
Welcome to Communism/Socialism/Marxism/Obamaism.From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.
Yes, like I said, I don't know if either one of them will actually follow through, or even be able to follow through. I'm sure McCain would like tax cuts, not so sure about Obama, but if McCain wants to keep the Bush tax cuts he's got to get the Congress to vote to extend them, and I don't see how that's going to happen with what the next Congress is likely going to look like.^^ That is if you actually believe Obama's tax proposal. How does he plan to cover all of the new spending he has proposed?
I remember the fall of '92 when a certain presidential candidate promised a tax cut for the middle class.
I also remember the State of the Union address in '93 where he not only said the government couldn't afford the tax cut, he was going to have to raise taxes. He also introduced us to the concept of the retroactive tax increase.
His plan was that nobody would hold him accountable in '96. He was correct.
