I think the "conservatives" need to do a little homework.
"For the mathematically inclined, if
you take the first derivative of the data presented to find the slope of each
President’s debt increase, you will find that the Republican slopes are
consistently more positive than the Democratic slopes. For everyone else,
this just means that unbiased mathematical proof exists to support the claim
that since 1945, Republican presidents have borrowed more than Democratic
presidents regardless of the inflation rate."

Get a clue guys. The republican part isn't fiscally conservative. They have become militant imperialists, and McCain isn't any different.
I'd vote for a true fiscal conservative, but there hasn't been a viable one on the ballot since perhaps Ross Perot.
So you can vote for a militant imperialist who will continue to devalue our currency with massive borrowing. Someone who is only degrees better than the neocon that preceeded him, or someone who can lead real transformation in our nation.
Colin Powell of Obama on the recent economic problems "(he has) displayed a steadiness, an intellectual curiosity, a depth of
knowledge and an approach to looking at problems ... . I think that he
has a, a definitive way of doing business that would serve us well."
Our economy, foreign policy, national security, fiscal and monetary policy will all fare better under Obama than McCain. Vote for the man, not the party.
I really am sorry that our political system entrenches power into two parties and that our viable choices are so very limited. I believe in small government, states rights, and economic/social liberty... but we won't get that with either party in power, regardless of the lip service the republicans give it. So we might as well pick someone competent to lead. In this case that is Obama.
