> My biggest reason for voting for Obama is that I'm pretty certain he's > not going to continue the policies of G.W. Bush. I do believe that > McCain will. Here's where McCain and Bush differ on policies: Campaign Finance Reform: This is something that came about before Bush was in office. However, it is also something that McCain championed against the Republicans. Tax Cuts: When the first round of tax cuts were proposed, McCain fought them and was one of republican two senators to vote *against* them. Environment: McCain is a proponent of Global Warming and takes a stance that the US should actively work to correct it. The Bush administration (as we've covered in this very group) don't. Immigration: McCain partnered with Ted Kennedy to push an Immigration Reform bill that would have offered amnesty to most of the illegal immigrants. This goes counter to *most* Republican's stances, though I'm not sure if it went against Bush. Gay Marriage: He voted against the cloture vote for the "Definition of Marriage" amendment. Those are core issues when it comes to a party's base. Because of his stance on them, I fail to see how he would provide a, "continuance of the Bush administration" in anything but the Iraq war, which if things continue as they are should see a major draw-down in the next year and a half. Not surprisingly, that's the same time frame that Obama has set for withdrawal. Until Later!
