On other issues McCain is no different then Bush. On taxes and spending their approaches are entirely different. Bush has shown he's an instinctive conservative tax cutter, but a big government liberal spender. McCain believes in more limited tax cuts, but wants serious spending reform. Both are pro-defense and pro-life. Again not much difference. Bush and McCain are both bigtime status quo politicos. McCain can be a mavarick at times. Both men are arrogant.
What America needs is a conservative candidate whose more like Reagan. Cut taxes and reduce spending. Reagan proved it can be done. The Feds need to get their fiscal house in order and right now, I don't see anyone capable of getting the job done right.
