no spin konop, you are making the ridiculous argument that mccain was conservative all those years while working with feingold, kennedy, lieberman, et al and now is moving to the middle. that is one of the more laughable statements i have seen yet in this race.

You can spin it anyway you want the fact is both candidates are moving toward similar positions. And as I said McCain is pushing very moderate VP candidates.

Not true McCain was against Bio-fuels and for PayGo.

if you watched the warren thing saturday, you would have heard mccain use all the most conservative talking points normally espoused by dobson, robertson, et al. that is the contradiction here; mccain trying to move right away from his career in the mish-mash middle.

Mark Silva is a national correspondent for the Chicago Tribune.

The difference between us is I think action speaks louder than words. In one breath McCain said his has always been a 100% pro-life, yet his short list has three pro-choice candidates for VP and he has a record of being moderate on abortion.

The floating of Lieberman, Ridge and Carly as VP is obviously a move to the middle. As far as tax and spending policy McCain refuses like Obama to guarantee a PAY GO style policy. This is the biggest pander of them all because any economist or controller will tell you both candidates cannot pay for what they are proposing. And as I said the No Child Left Behind style solution to education is another failed big government solution they both support. BIO-Fuels is another big government scam solution used to get rural voters that both candidates support. I could go on and on……

obama couldn’t move to the middle if he was sandwiched between pelosi and gingrich. he is the liberal’s liberal.

who is mark silva?

Obama won’t do any damage, he won’t be able to pass anything with bailouts gobbling up all available funds in sight.

McCain is old, mean and damn near insane. His recent hostility toward the Russians was instructive.

Maybe voting for Barr isn’t so good an idea…..

In reference to his San Francisco fundraiser, he held a rally and a town hall in the area before the fundraiser, and when Obama came to Georgia, he held a big fundraiser then held a public town hall.

Chairwoman Kidd is precisely correct, McCain is only interested in Georgia money, and is taking our votes for granted, which is a tragic mistake.

Why all the McCain yard signs?

He has yet to put a staff in Georgia, are the yard signs all over the state an attempt to give the image McCain actually cares about Georgia?

I think the pundits, and McCain are in for a big surprise in November if they continue this fatal strategy of ignoring Georgia and taking it for granted.

FYI

Obama, McCain: Meeting of Iraq minds?

by Mark Silva

It seems that Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain have now met in the middle on Iraq:

Obama has long called for a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq within 16 months after election, should he be elected president. McCain this week called that a “pretty good timetable,” and said U.S. forces should be “out of there” by the end of his first term, should he be elected.

But McCain also has predicated any “horizon” for troop withdrawals on “conditions on the ground,” like President Bush. And Obama acknowledges, too, that , after his promised withdrawal of combat forces, the timetable for continuing support from residual U.S. troops in Iraq will be “conditions-based.” Obama even cited Bush in his remarks in an interview near the end of his vaunted European tour.

FROM LATIMES

Obama, McCain agree on many once-divisive issues

Their similar stances on immigration, nuclear weapons, global warming and stem-cell research are evidence of a centrist shift in the political landscape.

please explain how either obama or mccain are moving to the middle. did you watch the rick warren forum?

bob barr? name one issue that he agrees with himself on.

The truth is both McCain and Obama have flip flop on numerous issues Iraq, immigration, abortion, taxes, spending……..

Unlike you I can provide youtube video links out of the mouth of McCain and Obama.

If you are a real conservative why not deal with a real issues. Since you do not get the concept I will help you.

Both candidates have presented tax plans with no spending cuts to cover it. Why do you think driving up more national debts which has driven the dollar in the toilet and drove inflation way up is good for the economy?

Why do you support either candidate’s position on fixing the failed No Child Left Behind program instead of scraping the idea of equalizing test scores and unfunded mandates on local government?

I have a few more but I am interested if you can answer the questions, especially without mentioning race or religion.

A vote for which one is OBAMA.

My apologies. At least I admit when I was wrong.

The little tyke spins his stories like a top. What’s new? Then he has violent threatening language AGAIN!

” stomped out of existence” … anger issues.

You should point out to the little roach that odinseye2k / was asking what Obama was, and I was agreeing with him that Obama was a “Closet-Marxist” NOT that I’d be voting for Obama.

Roaches…there are no good things one can say about roaches other than they and their idiotic friends should be stomped out of existence.

Barak Obama has proven himself to be a pathological liar, and you’re focused on the fact that I mentioned his heritage, saying I crossed some imaginary line that you won’t define.

You are the one who has crossed a line with an accusation you can’t back up.

I am not speaking directly to the little tyke.
