I really don't see the appeal to republican party anymore. Bill Clinton was far more fiscally conservative then GWB whom increased the size and cost of government massively.

Only third parties like the libertarian's seem to be fiscally conservative.

This is how I see it. Parties don't necessarily represent each candidate (and they never do 100%) so I'd rather look at individuals.


Obama: Still spending money but on semi useful shit. Seems to want to go after Al Qaeda directly and stop caring about useless countries like Iran. Pre-emptive war with unproven evidence is disastrous ala Iraq. Someone who will avoid useless wars is likely to spend less money. Also will pull out of Iraq systematically so we will start spending hundreds of billions less then we are now!

McCain: Has no clue about economics, will depend on advisers whom we can only pray are good. He has been flip-flopping lately on virtually everything so I can't be too sure about his policies. He says he wants to get out of Iraq fast but he also talked about staying there for up to 100 years if necessary and also setting up a permanent base in the area. Either way the mostly costly option, war wise. He is also more likely to go to war with Iran. He is also going crazy about global warming now so he might hurt our companies by trying to get crazy environmental laws passed. I also strongly suspect he might no necessarily be flip-flopping on purpose but rather his memory is failing and his advisers are making him into a joke as a result.

Clinton: This bitch needs to fucking drop...
