Buddy, I just watched as the media handed the party nominations to their chosen candidates, even standing by gleefully as Clinton voters in Florida and Michigan got disenfranchised... my faith in their reporting and analysis is super low. Yours should be too.
Following the primaries, they wrote Obama a path to the presidency and never even bothered to take the time to make him explain ANYTHING about what he was interested in doing. Even John McCain took until the end to call the guy a socialist.
I've watched him funnel pork barrel spending through with the stmulus act and nationalize two car companies. Now he is promising the impossible ('free' healthcare) and wanting to pay for it by taxing air (Cap and Trade).
It is all socialism, and I reject it. John is right to look at them with a skeptical eye. There is a clear pattern of corruption with this bunch, aside from being socialist.

Let's look at this one point at a time:
"Free Health Care" - you say it is impossible, but we are the only Industrial Nation that does not provide it for our citizens and it is this difference that allows the foreign automakers to capture our markets. My question is how can we not afford to provide this? We must get this burden off of manufacturers backs if we are to compete.
"Cap and Trade" - while I don't disagree that there is a substantial cost to this, I cannot dispute what most scientist are saying about what we are doing to our ozone. It comes down to pay for it and clean up the air or destroy our world. Which do you prefer?
