"Obama has not challenged/voted against his own party".. McCain HAS!
Anyone else see the OBVIOUS fallacy of this statement??

When YOUR party is the one with totally lame ideas (republican) voting against them now and then, but siding with them MOST of the time is NOTHING to be particualrly proud of..

Maybe the REASON why Obama has not "voted against" his own party, is that voting against a GOOD idea is not a great thing to do.....

When republicans use this mantra as a GOOD thing Mccain has done, they are ADMITTING that most of their agenda is total crap, and every so often even John McCain sees it for the crap that it is...

4. And I don't much like this simplistic, binary way of thinking
to wit, everything the GOP does is bad and everything the Democrats do is good. That's George Bush-like thinking, yer either with us or agin' us.
