Poll: People split on change of status quo
Nearly half of respondents to a USA Today/Gallup poll released Tuesday said they are "very concerned" likely Republican nominee Sen. John McCain of Arizona would pursue policies too similar to what President George Bush has pursued.
However, the poll said about 50 percent of people polled expressed concern likely Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois would go too far in changing Bush's policies, including 30 percent who are "very concerned," the Princeton, N.J., pollster said.
The Obama campaign has tried to paint McCain as offering a "third Bush term," while the McCain camp says Obama is inexperienced and would steer the country away from the status quo.
Results are based on nationwide telephone interviews conducted June 15-19 with 1,625 adults. The sampling error is 3 percentage points.

This is in reply to "I"---Let me get this right now. The dollar has lost its muscle and the country's economics have gone to hell in a handbasket under the leadership of the Republicans and Bush. McCain has told us that he will be following most of the policies of Bush because, as he said, he doesn't really understand economics as well as he should. Am I right so far??
Now, how does it follow that, and I quote you here " Everyone who wants to totally annihilate the American dollar as well as the economy of this country - vote for Obama." ????
Please help me understand just how this is logical thinking to you?

Well, what to do other than Pray A Lot. We can take a piece of paper divide it into two columns and then two columns under each column so that you end up with 4 columns total. Put the Republican on oneside and the Democrat on the other. List the two columns under each party with positive and negative. Be true to yourself and put down under each one how you feel about each Promise made (you could list the item, promise or what have you in/on the side column and then give a positive response two (2) and each negative response 1 point. Total each up and whomever has the most points is whom you want to vote for. Now be honest and forthright. Of course you can't really do this if you are tightly tied to a particular party or candidate. But if you refuse to sell your soul to one or the other; then you can do what is best for yourself.

Objective Goal
"Cultivez le Jardin!"---Cartesian philosophy that recognized the obvious fact that some things do not change, nor should they. Human needs are one of those things. We need to prevent the Emergency Room, rather than formulating health care plans for the entire country that provide for it. How about some serious thinking and planning for policies regarding energy and food production which will contribute to a reduction in cost rather than a burdensome increase in taxes to pay for a health care system for all but overlooks the causes of health problems. The problem with minority perspective is that it is minority perspective.
A minority of people use the health care system during their lifetimes, why have a government plan to pay for universal health care? Of course, after the next election a lot more people will be using the health care system.
