Now, McCain wants to cut taxes and there is likely no way he can cut spending, which means Greenspan's statement about McCain's tax cuts being based on more borrowed money accurate.

Moreover, McCain wants to deregulate the health care industry so that each person buys his own policy (no more policy at work) -- Do the math

That is only one of the great many reasons. My grandmother voted for Bush. Not once, twice. She has been a Republican for most of her life. Now, she can't stand McSame, and not just because she had me as a propaganda machine in her ear. If Obama is winning over massive amounts of people (which he is!) like this, McCain stands no chance.
