In an election where a vast majority of people think the country is on the wrong track, it??s to be expected that politicians will try to present themselves as representing ??change.? Barack Obama has presented himself as representing ??change you can believe in.? John McCain is in a more difficult position because he is in the incumbent party, but he has countered that he represents the right kind of change.

Some think that John McCain will be a much more bipartisan president than this current administration. Some think that he will be much more moderate as well. Some think he will be a lot more focused and competent in the way he conducts the Iraq war. Some think he will abolish the torture and other abuses of suspected terrorist detainees that have occurred during this administration. Some think he will be more fiscally responsible than the current administration. Some point to a record of campaign finance reform and lobbyist reform and think he will bring greater accountability to our election system.

Others have called just an attempt to jump on the ??change? bandwagon. Some think John McCain will just continue the same exact polices that the current administration has followed --- some call it George Bush??s third term. Some think that all politicians answer to the same masters and nothing ever changes. They don??t think a McCain presidency will change anything.

And others have agreed that McCain represents change, but change in the wrong direction. Some believe he is too moderate and represents a change away from conservative principles that they admire in the current administration. Some think his pro-life commitments are not strong enough. Some think his campaign finance and lobbyist reforms go too far. Some question his commitment to a policy of low taxes.

So what do you think? Does John McCain represent change? Also be sure to answer the same question about Barack Obama in the Obama thread. http://boards.cannabis.com/politics/...ts-change.html
