"and presidents that spend money like water."

St. Bill and the current Democratic Congress are racking up impressive spending numbers, also.

"The repubs have driven the debt through the roof"

True. Pelosi and Reid have only accelerated the process.

"and Obama's tax increases are for about 2% of the population."

And his tax deferments, credits, and increased spending are for the other 98%. I'm not seeing fiscal restraint from him, especially given his Senate record.

"McCain on the other hand will continue pouring money into Iraq,"

As will Barry, who will also spend more in Afghanistan.

"continue to spend without doing anything to reduce the deficit."

He promises spending cuts but is quite vague on what and when.

"We will go four more years without moving any closer to universal healthcare etc."

A non-issue right now.

"No, we can't afford 4 more years of Bush policies"

True, but I see little difference between Barry and Little George on either the wars or the economy. Both think deficits don't matter and both want to continue the Blunder, so big deal.

"When have we had a fiscal conservative?"

Jimmy Carter and Jerry Ford were the last two. You notice they both lost re-election bids.
