But if I didn't like the politics I heard sitting in Wright's pews, why would I want 4 years of it in the form of Obama in the White House?

I think McCain could be vastly different than Bush. He won't be for torture. He will probably finally deal with illegal immigration in a fair way that a Democrat couldn't. He will probably stop sucking the hind teet of big business in comparison to Bush. Heck, pushed, I think McCain would be the Teddy Roosevelt to big business for this century.

With someone like Sen. Lindsey Graham as veep, we could get un-adulterated conservatism that was more interested in increasing the efficiency of govt. before bloating its budget with increased taxes (. I think a Republican president and a heavily Democratic congress would be my wet dream result from this election cycle. :0)
