The first topic of the debate is the economy and taxes. Joe the plumber was told by Senator Obama that "he would have to sacrifice so we can spread the wealth around." McCain brought that out, but when Obama said he was going to cut taxes for 95% of earners, McCain did not point out that giving a tax cut to the 50% who don't pay taxes is impossible. This is a redistribution of taxes from taxpayers to non-taxpayers through refundable credits not a "tax cut".
I really don't have a problem with taxing those who make the money, but it is wrong to take that money and give it to people who contribute nothing to the treasury. That is classic socialism, and McCain is either uninformed or too much of a pussy to point it out.
McCain deserves to lose if he can't explain the fundamental differences between himself and Senator Obama. A pox on both their houses.
End of rant.
ADDED:
If I were gullible enough to believe Senator Obama rather than knowing how easily he dismisses his past, I might vote for him. Unfortunately, if any time is spent looking into his past as a community organizer, Chicago politician and his association with the very worst people in American society; from the Chicago mob, William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Acorn and on and on, then it is impossible to believe that he is really reformed from his past self.
A pox on both their houses. Intelligent men playing the American public for total fools. I might vote for Cynthia McKinney, at least she is honest about her stupidity.

So are you staying home on Nov 4?
No Cousin Mark; Obama's politics are abominibal so I must go and vote for McCain.
I think you should abstain out of disgust for all of the candidates!! Just kidding.
I received an email from the Obama campaign that I can go to a call center near my house and contact voters in swing states. I don't think I'm fired up enough to do that.
