You have to try very hard to contradict yourself in one sentence, and you managed to succeed. Excellent work.
And Dyflon, your opinions of Republicans are that we care more for shooting people than social programs, and in reality they have nothing to do with each other. It is a conflict of ideals when it comes to what is best for people.
Democrats believe in a bigger government that provides services for its people because thats how they feel people can best succeed, and republicans believe in a smaller government than allows people to better provide for themselves, and that the main role of government to protect its people to enable that freedom (hence your "shooting" comment).
It's government responsiblity vs. personal responsibility, and that is where the conflict lies at its heart.
And my main issue with Obama is that he has no issues, and avoids speaking on them at any cost. I trust no politician who is not eager to expound on his beliefs, and that is why I chose to post the quotes that I did. Obama's views on the bill lasted 2 sentences and were an attack on McCain. McCain's explanation of his stance was nuanced and contained alternative, sensible arguments.
THAT is why Obama will lose and in the end it has NOTHING to do with Democrat or Republican, but the quality of the candidate that is running.
