Gene, you refer to McCain as " a Conservative of the first rank  proposing to 
bail out the people who purchased homes they could not  afford."

McCain is not a "conservative of the first rank".  many conservatives would 
say he isn't really even conservative.  He has been called "RINO" for years.  
That is one of the reasons that I don't think it much matters
which candiddate is elected.  For this election, McCain has been forced to 
portray himself as something that he isn't.


Now, McCain 'is' a "hawk" , when it comes to war.  Obama portrays himself as 
a "dove".  We'll see how long that label is valid.

I don't consider myself conservative, except in the principle of liberty, and 
some of the conservatives have tried to be of help there.  If McCain had been 
elected , liberals would have been pleased, and conservatives would have been 
p*ssed , once they saw his governance. 

 Except in matters of war, there is not a lot of difference McCain and a 
middle of the road Democrat.  You never had anything about which to worry 
with this election.  You were guarenteed a win .........bobford
