So I wasn’t looking to spark debate or anything. I was just curious because it seems that your post was an expression of a resolution to a pressing crisis- as if you weren’t sure if “relatively smaller gov't, less taxes, pro-life etc.” were good ideas, and now you’re relatively sure they are.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12421656514032288339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755171752803157077.post-31081613219965724502008-10-29T17:22:00.000-07:002008-10-29T17:22:00.000-07:00There ya go Derek.<A HREF="http://theconstellationhypothesis.blogspot.com/2008/10/this-guy-pretty-much-sums-it-up.html" REL="nofollow">There ya go Derek.</A>Louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07276304333361151814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755171752803157077.post-36536401964746126502008-10-29T17:03:00.000-07:002008-10-29T17:03:00.000-07:00Yes, I support McCain in this election.To pre-empt...Yes, I support McCain in this election.<BR/><BR/>To pre-empt online debate let me first say that while I've discussed the details of what I'm about to say with people verbally recently, I am sort of tired of talking about them.<BR/><BR/>However since you asked, for you, because I am a nice guy, I will say I just generally favor relatively smaller gov't, less taxes, pro-life etc. type policies and Barack basically doesn't (but McCain basically does, and I haven't found any of the major attacks against <I>him</I> to be well-founded, well-formulated, or just deal-breaking in nature).<BR/><BR/>But the point of the post is that I don't find any of the major silver-bullet wannabe type allegations against Barack particularly well-founded or well-formulated (stuff about Ayers, ACORN, his birth certificate, his supposed view that the Constitution is fundamentally flawed, etc. ad nauseam).Louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07276304333361151814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755171752803157077.post-38290315358322240712008-10-29T15:18:00.000-07:002008-10-29T15:18:00.000-07:00* know why.* know why.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12421656514032288339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8755171752803157077.post-40217089576629575032008-10-29T15:17:00.000-07:002008-10-29T15:17:00.000-07:00When it comes down to it, I just simply find mysel...<I>When it comes down to it, I just simply find myself in disagreement with Obama's proposals.

Presumably you disagree with most of his proposals- at least more so than you disagree with McCain’s proposals (that is- if you’re voting!).
