Obama is no better than McCain
Does it matter who we vote for? Obama and McCain are practically two peas in a pod. Consider their view points on various issues:
* Civil rights: Obama voted in favor of a recent FISA bill that had telecom immunity in it. Sure, he voted for the amendment that would've stripped that immunity which McCain surely would've voted against had he bothered to show up, but that doesn't count for anything. Also, ignore McCain's stance on habeas corpus. That's latin for something, so it can't be that important. Oh, and that torture thing? Fuggeddaboutit.
* Abortion: Obama is in favor of allowing states to prohibit third-trimester abortions to women unless there's an actual physical or psychological need for it (mental distress does not count), just like McCain is in favor of allowing states to prohibit all abortions.
* Iraq: Obama has admitted that an unforseen disaster might cause him to adjust his 18-month timetable in Iraq, making him no better than McCain and his 100-year timetable.
* Faith-based initiatives: Obama wants to make sure these funds are only used in a manner that does not support proselytizing, but he doesn't want to end faith-based initiatives, so he's no better than McCain.
* Death penalty: Obama has said that he thinks the death penatly should be allowed for child rapists, just like McCain. Ignore that Obama has fought legislatively against the death penalty while McCain has actively supported it. They both agree on the child rapist thing, so they're the same here, too.
* Environment: Hey, McCain's also said that he thinks global warming is real! (Ignore McCain's score of 26 from the League of Conservation Voters compared to Obama's score of 96. It's irrelevant I tell you!)
