Taxes: McCain and Obama both support the progressive income tax, they just differ on the details. Neither one of them seeks to repeal the 16th Amendement and abolish the IRS.
Spending: Both McCain and Obama are lovers of big government. They just differ on the details of how the money should be spent. Neither one of them wants the drastic cuts in federal spending and regulation that are needed to restore this republic.
2nd Amendment: Both McCain and Obama feel the government can pass laws restricting the sale, ownership and manufacture of firearms. They simply disagree on the details. Neither one of them wants a full restoration of 2nd Amendment rights and is calling to overturn existing gun regulations.
Health Care: McCain and Obama both favor the government being involved in and greatly regulating the health care industry. They only disagree on the details. Neither one of them seeks to get the government out of the medical business.
Differences? There are none. McCain offers a Republican version of statism, Obama offers a Democratic version of statism. Neither one of them supports the conservative principle of limited government.
Statism is the belief that government can solve all of society’s problems. Conservatism is the belief that government is the root of all of society’s problems. By their words and deeds both McCain and Obama are statists.

Welcome to Free Republic. Trying to sow discontent on a conservative site? As I told you, most here are too well informed to fall for it. Obama and McCain are vastly different on the issues. Your post does nothing to refute that. (Ronald Reagan was not rffor repeal of the 16th Amendment either. He signed large tax increases in 1982. He is just another staitst too? LOL) Ask your buddies at DU if they agree with you that Obama and McCain are the same.
