Here's where McCain was against Bush policy: McCain fought for campaign finance reform — McCain-Feingold — that Bush resisted and ultimately signed because he had no choice. McCain led the battle to restrict interrogation techniques of terror suspects and to ban torture. McCain went with Joe Lieberman on a tough measure to curb climate change, something Bush denies is going on. McCain opposed the Bush tax cuts when they passed. McCain urged the Iraq surge, a posture Bush rejected for years before conceding its wisdom. McCain favors FDA regulation of tobacco and sponsored legislation to that effect, a position all but a handful of Republican senators oppose. McCain's energy bill, also with Lieberman, is a virtual blueprint for energy independence and development of alternate sources. After the Enron scandal, McCain introduced sweeping reforms in corporate governance and legislation to guarantee pensions and prohibit golden parachutes for executives. Bush opposed McCain's changes and the watered-down Sarbanes-Oxley bill eventuated. McCain has been harshly critical of congressional overspending, particularly of budgetary earmarks, a position Bush only lately adopted (after the Democrats took over Congress).
Did you know Biden said he would be proud to be on a ticket with McCain Did you know the Republicans were very angry with McCain because he was "siding" with the Democrats too often? McCain was also contemplating or was wooed to become a Democrat?
Again people - I don't care who you vote for -- but you aren't giving me facts - or why you like Obama.
If you are voting for Obama because you don't like McCain -- great -- I'm fine with it. If Obama has policies you agree with - Good. If you hate Bush and want to get back at him -- WRONG reason If you don't like Republicans and are a staunch Democrat and agree with their policies and vote the party line -- Fine.
But if you like "change" and love the way Obama speaks (and he's a great speaker)- but don't know how he's going to make these changes or what it means to you - then get educated first.
