I'm no lover of McCain, and his negative side is well-known, but aren't you a little concerned about some of the real issues about Obama? I like the man a lot, but he has a lot of long-term relationships in his short career that do make one ask if he is a good judge of character (and I don't give McCain a pass, btw).

My biggest concerns are he actually signed onto U.N. positions that would undercut the U.S. Constitution, and he supported a position in DC v. Heller that, as a constitutional "expert," he should have known from reading historical documents was clearly unconstitutional.

I don't fear the Republicans or Democrats as entire groups, and I think a lot of propeller posters do us all a disservice to paint them with a broad brush and make up ugly juvenile sniper names for them.

I'm more afraid of those like Independent Michael Bloomberg, who sees an opportunity to serve as dictator, not relinquish his position at the end of his term limit, and then reassert the term limits so only he can operate above the law.

I don't think it will be that different if Obama or McCain is elected. We've seen our rights weaken under all administrations--it's been more of a march over time. And Obama is just another cherry-picker where the constitution is concerned, and SCOTUS has decided against the citizens irrespective of which party appointed them. But again, Obama said he would support judges who have written opinions favoring precedent (like a garden-variety attorney) over an accurate interpretation of the constitution. I'm concerned about that most of all.
