Is there any one place where I could see both McCain's and Obama's positions side by side . I want to compare apples to apples . On Taxes it would be nice to see the effects on a 25k ,75k,250k, etc. income . Someplace with no slant and no hidden agenda , just honest facts . It would also be good to compare Social Security ,Health Care ,and Energy .

Facts are facts, there is no spin on the comparisons. There is no commentary on the merits or consequences.
You have a better one?

Do these policy comparisons include the suspension of the Bush tax cuts and alternative minimum tax suspension?

Good info., now I'm sure to vote for Obama . Rich folks need to pony up some more $$ to pay off Bush's war Iraq, then see if we're so fast to get into another mess like that.

Why just rich folks? If you are so against it, you should be happy to pony up your part.....right?

see the problem Rob is that people like sprinter think that this is "bush's war" and not a war against terror and the very people who wounded us on our own soil. They believe all the media hype that things over there are so bad for our troops and they are in so much danger. I know several people over there and listen to stories about helping the locals over there and the good things that are happening. We never hear that over here just the same ol B.S. and implementing fear into our homes.
