McCain reflects middle-ground view

Whether you consider yourself old-fashioned, new age or post-modern, the democratic process remains the same—the people elect the president. The question is, how good a leader will we have if the people are not well-informed? We each need to inform ourselves by looking at what the candidates have done, rather than what they say because their action is the best predictor of how they will act in the future.

If you look at Sen. Barack Obama’s voting record you will find that he has a liberal point of view. If you look at Sen. John McCain’s voting record, you will see a middle-of-the-road point of view. The rest is image spin.

We are a great nation because we refuse to make our decisions based on age, race, gender, religion, physical abilities, physical appearances and marketing hype. If you have a very liberal point of view, you should vote for Barack Obama. If your perspective is more middle of the road, John McCain deserves your vote.
