That One

Was it just me, or did John McCain seem dismissive when he called Barack Obama “that one”?

If I had to choose between John McCain and Barack Obama, I would choose THAT one. When it comes to Barack Obama:

• That one will get us out of Iraq with honor.
  
• That one will raise our standing in the world.
  
• That one will end corporate welfare and tax cuts for the Exxon Mobil’s of the world.
  
• That one will focus on helping the middle class deal with their every day problems.
  
• That one will deal directly with our healthcare crisis.
  
• That one will focus on green energy, creating five million new jobs.
  
• That one will restore civil liberties after the dark days of extraordinary rendition, suspension of habeas corpus and Guantanamo Bay.
  
• That one will restore dignity and honor to the White House after eight years of heartbreak.

Maybe John McCain is right. Barack Obama is the one. That’s the one for me.

McCain vs. Palin

Here’s an idea for a debate. Let’s get John McCain and Governor Palin to debate one another. They should have plenty to argue about. After all, they are on opposite sides on several issues.

Stem cell research: McCain For; Palin Against; More…
Allow abortion in cases of rape, incest: McCain For; Palin Against; More…
The use of school vouchers: McCain For; Palin Against; More…
Drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: McCain Against; Palin For; More…
Protecting polar bears: McCain For; Palin Against; More…
Windfall profit tax on oil companies: McCain Against; Palin For; More…
Real ID: McCain For; Palin Against; More…
Teaching creationism in our schools: McCain For/Against; Palin For; More…

It makes you wonder, with this many issues separating them, if they could be elected, whose agenda would drive policy decisions in the White House?
