There are pleny of positives with a McCain presidency. First off it would prevent the democratic congress from running wild. They would have to comprise or face grid lock that is a win win IMO. Second Gas prices would come down thanks to lifting the drilling bans. Third the capitol gains tax would not double. That last thing you need in a down cycle is to discourage investing. Lastly terrorists are not going to test McCain like they would Obama they know that McCain will act swiftly and with the full force of the US military.
I see no reason to vote for Obama unless you want an economic depression to get people to depend on government or make the US more green. Obama likes the high energy prices it only helps his agenda of expanding government powers.
It seems like the whackos have been coming out of the woodwork lately.
You don't actually know how the government in this country works, do you? Either that, or you're arguing that the government already has absolute power in this country (in order to be able to do these things you believe McCain could do), while trying to make us afraid of Obama's 'agenda of expanding government powers.'
Surely you see the conflict, right? You're only pretending to argue against expanding government, while actually hoping it changes your diapers for you.
I doubt it, so I'll elaborate.
1. The Democratic majority in Congress is likely to be veto-proof, so McCain can't help you there.
2. Congress will control the drill bans, so they are likely to stay. IF the ban were repealed though, they would no effect on gas prices.
3. The current debt and deficit situation indicates that taxes will have to go up even if the Libertarian party won complete control of the govt. That high price at the gas pump is not due to a lack of oil supply, but your man's outrageously irresponsible fiscal policies.
And lastly, how then do you explain the terrorists 'testing' GW Bush and his subsequent swift yet entirely fruitless response? Where is Osama bin Laden BTW?
