Those advocating for and supporting McCain in this election are the same people who advocated for and supported W in 2000 and 2004. Why would anyone listen? How many of the above posters voted for Bush over McCain in the 2000 SC primary? This poster knew then that at least McCain wasn’t an idiot and crossed party lines for the good of the country. Alas, it didn’t work.

Lisa, you may be right, there may be little difference except that we have many years of information behind McCain, we have little on Obama and what we do have is bad….Rev Wright, Ayers, Acorn, Rezko. When the election is over and this information finally comes out to the mainstream american, what do you think the reaction will be?

The GOP leadership in Washington, and SC…is shit. They are self-absorbed, vile, greedy SOB’s that care about themselves, and not one wit about the people they are to serve.

I am a lifelong republican. We deserve to have our asses handed to us. We deserve to lose. The people of this country do not deserve the socialist….Barak Obama…but we have allowed this to happen. The blame rest with us.

Katon, Lindsay, etc…I hope you enjoy your fame, glory, your money. May you rot in hell for your deeds. Those of us that fought against you were called traitors, or complainers. Turns out we were right after all.

I decided to read the candidates positions blindly. I didn’t know which candidate was which list of fixes. If you try this, the results may just amaze you.
I say, cut the dang labels. MCCain is no more a republican than Obama a democrat.

James…I was responding to the above absurd assertion that Obama and Reagan share a common tax plan. Nothing could be further from the tax. I see you switched over to Bush in response to my comment on Reagan.

But, even under Bush, the top brackets paid a larger share of the total tax then they did before Bush. This is even though their rate went down.

Frankly, who feeds this horrendous beast called government is really a ridiculous argument for me. We should be discussing the real topic, which is why are we sending all of our money to Washington in the first place? Despite the fact that you may be thrown a crumb back, of your money, from any particular politician here and there. I hardly consider that a victory.

Damn Will. You are smarter than this. You didn’t even address the judgment on the Palin choice. And, god almighty…surely you didn’t miss that? Talk about an arrow in the heart.

Stop allowing yourself to be so played by the machine. The “machine” is DYING. You hold a power to change things for South Carolina through the words you write. I wish you’d use it for what you believe in instead of what you feel you need to do for those that ‘empower’ (pay) you. They don’t pay you enough to continue to throw SC under the damn bus.

I know this is what people that read your blog want to hear but those damn idiots are going to vote for McCain anyway.

rick g: the 250000+ crowd got the lion’s share of the cut under w. and now they’re gonna give the lion’s share of it back. Yes, some goes to the (oh the horror) bottom rung of societal evolution but more goes into MY pocket than McCant’s plan.

I for one appreciate their newfound patriotism.

What we have to remember is Husseins earlier promises of not renewing the Bush tax cuts which will effectively double the taxes being paid by the middle class that Hussein is supposedly concerned about. By letting the tax cuts expire, he can technically hide behind the concept that he had nothing to do about it. Add the additional taxes to small business, and we have a formula that was proven both in the depression and in the 70′s under Carter, that increasing taxes deepens and lengthens the downturn in the market making the suffering of the lower stratum also deepen and lengthen. Add Joe Biden’s admission that electing Hussein will “test” hussein in a big way reminds me of Carters testing….444 days worth.

She wears pantyhose with heels. Always. It’s a nuanced understatement that probably wouldn’t be detected by the likes of you, Chester Lee.
