Conservatives talk eloquently about how masterful Reagan was with the budget. They forget to tell you that the budget deficit grew during the Reagan years. No matter how the Republicans like to sugar coat their policies, the fact that under Reagan, Bush and now, George W. Bush the budget deficit has grown completely flies in the face of fiscal responsibility. Even the conservative Cato Institute, in an article by Chris Edwards states, “Reagan’s failure was that he did not control federal spending growth. By 1989, federal spending was up 69 percent from 1981. The deficit widened.” [...] […] When Ronald Reagan took office he promised to cut the size of government and to cut government spending.

I told my family who then encouraged me to seek political office. We all jumped in the family van and drove ninety miles to the nearest political office where they dropped me off in the thirty degree weather to ponder my decision. Needless to say I wasn’t entirely sure I wanted to be a politician especially if it involved standing out in the cold. I’ve often thought about running for office, but was discouraged by the lack of toilet paper in government buildings. My polling data which consisted of my wife, daughter and dogs indicated I had a slight chance at becoming a Golf Course ranger which I immediately pursued. I was informed by golf course management that such a position was not an electable one, but I was still welcome to apply. I did just that and got a really cool shirt. On the first day I brought Gus, my goat, to the golf course. In hindsight, it was not my best decision. Gus took a liking to the green on the seventh hole and then proceeded to snack on Mr. Werner’s polyester pants on the tenth hole. Both Gus and I were escorted off the course in due haste. Needless to say my “political” aspirations were hindered. [...] […] It was during a knitting lesson with my Aunt Trudy when I had an epiphany about the election.

I also thought the reason he doesn't talk about her is because he doesn't want his party members discussing the fact she has a brown complexion? Correct me if I am wrong, but I recall the last time McCain's family/personal life became a part of the primary campaign was back in '04. At the time he was the subject of vicious rumor and Republican originated vitriol. So much so McCain refused to stand up to GWB's attacks and lies about McCain's family. (War hero seems to have lost his courage.) Juan McInSane? lol! Is it cool to make fun of a person's condition when it is beyond his control?

If you vote for a 3rd party instead of McCain that is still a one vote against McCain. Food for thought.

The more we learn about opportunites abroad, coupled with the "wanderlust" many of us share, the prospect becomes all too enticing.
