Reply #19: would the repubs have been better off without a Bush presidency? [View All]

To me, Obama is the Democratic version of Bush. He has no experience, no particular qualifications, and his plans don't hold up under scrutiny. I also see no difference between emotional rhetoric about faith and prayers versus the same nonsense that promises hope and inspiration.

I have literally spent MANY hours every week, not to mention thousands of dollars of my own money trying to rebuild the Democratic party in my area, and I honestly believe it has made a difference. Right now it's looking as though it was all just a waste of time and effort though. There is no gain to the world, the country or the party through Obama.

McCain is not Huckabee. he has some good qualifications, and despite his claims about staying in Iraq, some insiders think he would have us out of there fairly quickly. I think McCain also has a genuine desire to do right by the country and its people. Had you told me a year ago that I would ever vote repub, I would have bet my house you were wrong, but today I think that if Obama is the candidate, a McCain vote is the only reasonable choice.
