I have to agree with GD - some things I'd rather see remain empty promises

If one hopes they remain empty promises then why suggest people should vote for the person based on those promises?

His tax policy is not why I prefer him over the other candidate. Just like someone could prefer McCain even if he doesn't support gay marriage. It takes more than one issue to make a candidate. You have to pick and choose which aspects of a candidate's position are most important to you, or which candidate falls more in line with your position than the other.

You could also call it the "two turds in the bowl" approach, although this year's crop are better candidates than we've been offered in the past.

I didn't mean you specifically......but others here have pointed to his tax cuts as a good reason to vote for him over McCain; if they hope those cuts never go into effect than are they not participating in false advertising?
