His stance on taxes. He has said he will raise taxes, both income and capital gains. He is for wind fall profits taxes.

I believe he is ignorant in terms of foreign policy. I honestly don't know what his foreign policy views are on many things, but most things I hear him say are bothersome to me (such as previously discussed viewpoints on Iran in particular). He was harping on Hillary for not cosponsoring a bill that would try to outlaw OPEC. Yikes. That is either ridiculous or scarily ignorant or both.

His voting record is ranked as the most liberal in the Senate (which I realize is a plus for many who post here).

Those would be the primary things, but that covers the most important things to me - tax policy, dealing with terrorists and rogue states, and how he has voted on issues before him.

As a person, I believe he's a decent guy. I'm a policy guy. I will say that none of the candidates will get my enthusiastic support, and McCain is the least scary to me of the three.

Sorry, but to me, McCain is the most scary of all three!

Understandable. The man scares me, too. Probably the only one I wouldn't be afraid to meet in a dark alley, though, would be Obama.

Well, McGovern seems to think she's hurting the Party. He is not a superdelegate, but he is very influential and switching his endorsement to Obama is just another sign that the Dem leadership is getting nervous about the potential for splitting the Party should this nastiness continue.

Is borrowing money from China the better way to pay for our spending?

I'm only saying I think I could take him. Hillary and McCain would whip up on me with their internal rage power.

Dear Hillary supporters:

When If Obama officially receives the Democratic nomination for President, will you then toss your support over to him? Vote McCain? Stay Home?

The premise of your question is flawed on two counts.

First is that raising taxes will result in raised revenue, far from a certainty, and I would argue the opposite takes place.

Secondly, the government should spend less money if money is tight.

Borrowing money from China is only for the Clinton's campaign coffers.
