Well, McCain said he's voted for Bush more than 90% of the time, and bragged about it. The 10% where they differed were actually some big things -- like Bush's tax cuts for the rich. But since he became the nominee, McCain has flip-flopped on virtually every position where he differed with Bush and now he is just Bush with another body. McCain bragged about how closely he and Bush are on the issues, so who am I to question him about that. If he didn't want to be portrayed as a Bush clone, he shouldn't have said that he is one.
Clearly, Obama has a much better intellect, and the problems facing us in the coming years are complex; a powerful intellect might come in handy in developing solutions that don't completely fuck over the middle class. Plus, it'd just be a nice change of pace to have a smart president, rather than someone I'd want to drink beer with. I'm looking for a PRESIDENT, not a fraternity brother.
In any case, McCain has no chance. He's even losing the RACIST vote. When the fivethirtyeight guy was hanging out with a canvasser, they went to a home in racist country and a woman answered the door. The canvasser asked her who she was voting for. She yelled back to her husband, "Who are we voting for?" Her husband said, "We're voting for the nigger," and the woman turned around and, matter-of-factly, told the canvasser, "We're voting for the nigger."
Lol, when you're a Republican and you're losing THAT vote, the game is over.
