If McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time, how is he different ?

[Neurotoxin]

does anyone know ?

Obama voted 100% of the time with the party's leftists. He voted "not present more than 130 times as a member of the IL legislature. Die hard Republicans have been up in arms all along about McCain's reaching across the aisle. Have you ever seen Bush reach across the aisle. This is a tired Democrat talking point. Hell, it's all we hear; but it is not valid. You lose.

So did I and I regret it (at least from an economic standpoint). But McCain is not the same just because he's from the same party. That's my point.

How nice it must be for people to be complaining about economics.

Ummm. My complaints are about the strength of the dollar. You should care. Whether you know it or not it affects you.

Must be nice. 

You could be talking about how terrorists blew up wall street and/or a nuclear reactor in NY or CA. 

Wanna see what happens to the dollar then?

Terminal. Go back and read my posts. I think we're on the same side here.

I do too.  Just a friendly reminder, I stand to lose a lot when the dollar weakens, but I always remind myself. 

P.S.

The dollar has been getting stronger lately

[Cardfan]

It will get stronger still. America is comin' back.

I'm not worried about how McCain will be different than Bush...I am interested in how he will differ from Obama and my biggest cincern is this...taxes.  I can't afford to pay more.  I may not pay more in taxes because Obama will tax the buisness class and above.  So I will only be affected if I buy food, clothes or gas.  But serious, Obama's tax plan will only drive more buisnesses from the US to other tax friendly nations and will cause an overall increase in cost of living.  Tax increases don't work for the little guy. 

Things like centralized health care/gay marriage/abortion rights are moot points because nothing will happen in the next 4 years. But taxes very well could.  No one will end our wars no matter who gets voted in...the front might change but the fact that I deploy won't...

Please school me brainiac.

No thanks, I usually get paid to do that.

I will give you a caveat. 

The dollar is a macro perspective, influenced minimally at best, if at all, with the the 30 Blue Chip stocks the Dow Jones represents and it's minuscule fluctuations in any single day.

Weird that you answer his Q with a deflection.

Mccain voted 90% of time with Bush.
Obama voted 97% of time with party leftists.

They.  both.  Suck.


Does mccain suck 7% less that Obama?  Sure, why not.  have your cookie and celebrate being 7% less shitty!

[shootfighter1]

The real answer is that the figure is misleading.  There are a lot of bills that are passed by a vast majority or are unanimous.  So, 90% really may mean far less than it seems because only a % of the bills are heavily contested.
