My apologies to readers about not posting my perspective on the substantive issues raised at the Saddleback forum. The key difference was that of middle of the road, thoughtful judgment born of experience on one hand and ideological idealism buttressed by freshness on the other. In times of war-and we have at least two going on-it is imprudent to trust a man whose sole experience in national policymaking has been 143 days in the Senate where he has been rated the most left wing senator in the 109th Congress.
John McCain's domestic policy approaches are based on thoughtful consideration of the impact of all sorts of taxes on the American family..something of vast importance when the slightest additional tax burden on producers or consumers can launch us straight into recession. His opponent offers a well packaged old product: tax the rich. Senator Barack Obama should remember the famous words of his state's most famous son; "You cannot tax the rich to enrich the poor or tax the employer who creates the employment for the employee."
Those were the words of a small time Springfield lawyer named Abraham Lincoln.
