For those who claim there is "no difference" between McCain and either of our candidates
John McCain on the issues:
http://www.ontheissues.org/John_McCain.htm
According to this website, McCain is a "populist-leaning conservative"

Hillary Clinton on the issues:
http://www.ontheissues.org/Hillary_Clinton.htm
According to this website, Hillary Clinton is a "hardcore liberal"!

Barack Obama on the issues:
http://www.ontheissues.org/Barack_Obama.htm
My candidate Barack Obama is also a "hardcore liberal"!

When it comes down to the issues, including the Supreme Court, our candidates have more in common than either of them do with John McSame!

1. What people SAY and what people DO are often 2 different things.
McCain and Clinton are good examples of that.

2. Any site that thinks Hillary is a "hardcore liberal" isn't worth my time.
She never has been, and never will be, a Liberal. But I'll admit that McLoony has veered so far to the right this decade that it's scary. :scared:

3. Hillary is to the right of McCain on Foreign Policy.
I find that unacceptable.

4. Regarding my right to marry, they have said exactly the same thing
I'm sorry, you were saying...?

5. That will most likely be decided by the Supreme Court, unless the right wing gets in and passes a
constitutional amendment.

McCain has promised more right-wing justices like Alito and Roberts. Not good for marriage equality or any other civil rights issue.

Clinton and Obama are likely to put more sensible justices on the Court, which will be a good thing for civil rights issues like marriage equality.
