Since I wrote that I was “back on the fence” about the presidential election, I’ve been doing my best to wade through the overheated rhetoric, spin, and flagrant lies coming out of both campaigns (and their supporters), trying to find something that will give me a sense that either one of the two contenders will be different from what I’ve come to expect out of their respective parties.
Today I finally found something that could sway me…. even as I simultaneously came across something that kills the deal.
And they both came from Barack Obama.
Polimom, you’re ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! If I had the chance to talk to him, I would ask why are you advocating more spending and expansion of government when we’ve got a 400 BILLION budget deficit and almost 10 TRILLION national debt? he STILL hasn’t answered that…..he would be up by 20 points by now if he were more fiscally conservative…..you and i think alike, and so keep up the fight…..
Christian — Yup! I really don’t think it would take much, either, for him to pull all us independents over.
Thanks for the comment. Finally, somebody who understands what I was trying to say. (I sure am drawing some heavy fire at TMV for this… as usual…)
Uh… what Polimom said. Word.

Are you interested in maybe a new career as a political advisor?
~EdT.
LOL!!! You scared me for a minute there, Ed. I was afraid you were linking to a job opening or something. (No, I wouldn’t really have been tempted… :> )
Besides, I’ve been assured on all sides that the American people prefer all sugar and no medicine, please…
