Last night John McCain stated that “as President I promise to have a 3-way with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid” while Obama stated that “I will tax your ass off”

Pretty funny stuff when you’re watching it.

The truth is, if he really cared about 2,3,4, and 5 he would be voting for Obama. On issue 1 (abortion) McCain is only marginally more in tune with his views than Obama.

McCain has said in the past he would not repeal Roe V Wade (but later said he would), he is not against Stem Cell research (but now says he might be), supports abortion for rape and incest (and would not test for rape). Which McCain are you going to believe; the one who spoke honestly, or the one who will now say anything to get elected? At least Obama is consistent–and supports pregnancy prevention.

But for President, you need someone with some demonstrated ability to run something. Watching the two campaigns over the last year, McCain’s executive ability is underwhelming.

But cuts in military spending? Check for Obama and the Dems – didn’t I hear something about 25% reduction from the left?

McCain and Palin are anything but followers in wasteful spending. earmarks aren’t that much of our federal budget, and Palin left Wasilla in debt, and if it wasn’t for oil, Alaska too.

But I’m not trying to convince you…more like argue with those points.

1. MCCAIN SEEKS TO LIMIT ABORTION – Sen. Obama’s position may be called the “audacity of hopelessness.” He is out of step with his own running mate, Joe Biden, who in 2003 with 63 other senators voted to ban the practice of partial birth abortion. Under a President Obama, a Federal Freedom of Choice Act would increase the number of abortions performed annually, defying the “safe, legal, and rare” rhetoric that is often heard by abortion’s proponents. On the other hand, Sen. McCain has consistently voted to protect the unborn, the right to life prerequisite to all other rights that we enjoy in this country.

2. MCCAIN FAVORS CUTS IN MILITARY SPENDING – He has been very clear that we don’t need new weapons systems that cost billions, and would cut them from the bloated Pentagon defense budget. That money can be used elsewhere, perhaps to expand peaceful programs that are working, such as PEPFAR, the U.S. initiative against the spread of AIDS in Africa.

3. MCCAIN IS CORRECT ON IMMIGRATION AND GLOBAL WARMING. He seeks a path to citizenship for those who are living in the U.S. illegally, and wants to tighten border control. Also, he acknowledges the need for “Creation Care,” that we must take care of this earth, as God’s stewards, and this includes keeping the thermostat in-check.

4. MCCAIN WOULD MAKE THE GOVERNMENT LIVE WITHIN ITS MEANS. There is a huge disconnect between the average American who must carefully budget and Washington, that spends like there’s no tomorrow. We need a Dave Ramsey approach to federal spending! McCain has the record to show he’d stand-up to wasteful spending.

On these four issues, Sen. McCain is dead-on. Together, they tip my vote in his direction.

I just assumed that jg was the blasphemer. I should have known better.

I hope.

“late-night comics are going to have to get a lot more comfortable making fun of Obama… – jg ASC

Blasphemy!

Don Imus said that about Bush back in 2000. Look where that got us. :-(
