I found it very interesting. Overall, it clearly, honestly (and simply
stated) differentiates the two men.

My impression after reading it was to clearly see the two different "themes"
:
The sum of Obama's proposals equate to bigger government, government control
and higher taxes to pay for it.
McCain's proposals on the same issues focuses on less direct government
intervention, relying on some government mandates but with incentives and
programs to encourage private, non-government development of programs to
achieve the same goals.

Let's take this one step further.

Evidence:

Bush gave a speech. Just one speech at the controversial Bob Jones
University, but that was enough for the press to join him at Jones’
hip.

Now imagine if Bush hadn’t just given a speech, but also…

Was an active member of the church for 20-years

Was married by Bob Jones

Had his children baptized by Bob Jones

Gave tens-of-thousands to the church

Titled a book after one of Jones’ sermons

Had regularly listened to Jones’ sermons on tape while at grad school.

Had appointed Jones to his campaign

Funded his radical education activities thru foundation funds

Claimed Jones as his spiritual mentor

…and then claimed he was “only vaguely aware of Bob Jones University’s
policies and past”?

This is what we're dealing with.

Hope. Change. Nuance.


While I don't feel your pain in matters political, I am enjoying it.
