I actually liked McCain 8-10 years ago. However, he has reversed his positions on nearly everything that is different from the Bush administration policies since that time. John Kerry's recent convention speech pointed this out well. Here's a quote from that:-"I say, let's compare Senator McCain to candidate McCain. Candidate McCain now supports the wartime tax cuts that Senator McCain once denounced as immoral. Candidate McCain criticizes Senator McCain's own climate change bill. Candidate McCain says he would now vote against the immigration bill that Senator McCain wrote. Are you kidding? Talk about being for it before you're against it.-  Let me tell you, before he ever debates Barack Obama, John McCain should finish the debate with himself. And what's more, Senator McCain, who once railed against the smears of Karl Rove when he was the target, has morphed into candidate McCain who is using the same "Rove" tactics and the same "Rove" staff to repeat the same old politics of fear and smear. Well, not this year, not this time. The Rove-McCain tactics are old and outworn, and America will reject them in 2008."

Nah, of course not. Still a better option than McCain, though.

I kind of thing that maybe both Mccain and Obama want to do some reforming. McCain did sponsor that McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform bill, although it had become watered down.

We could certainly use another Roosevelt, but I had to vote "it's out of his hands," because one man (or woman) can't fix politics alone. Obama will make a great leader, in my estimation, but mostly all he can do is use the "bully pulpit" to point the way. One single person won't be able to fix this mess; it's going to take a concerted effort.

But there are REAL reformers out there: Theodore Roosevelt is the one that immediately springs to mind.

Politicians all over the world are the same, they make promises they know full well they cannot fulfill, because they know it is beyond their reach; and all one can do is complain and complain till kingdom come and nothing more: Worst of all they can do the exact opposite of their promises. We have to get used to that reality, become wiser and vote on positives rather than promises and prevent heart problems.
