Bush was put in office by Republicans and we had a Republican Congress....one would expect mostly conservative issues to be pushed forward. But if McCain were President with a Dem Congress the only things to see the light of day will be those the Dems and McCain agreee on......so even though McCain has many conservative views they will not go anywhere.

If McCain wins the Whitehouse Republicans will have at least 8 years of liberal policies winning out.

If Obama or Clinton wins there is a chance that they could be defeated after 4 years.

Not that I am considering a vote for the eventual dem nominee....but if McCain is our nominee I might just forget to mail in my ballot come November....I am sure I am not alone in that feeling either. McCain can't win in November.
