Let me also add this, our seniors, who have already worked hard their entire lives, deserve a secure and dignified retirement. McCain calls the current system of guaranteed monthly benefits for retirees an "absolute disgrace." He voted for Bush's plan to put Social Security funds into risky private accounts. Obama supports guaranteed monthly benefits earned by seniors. He opposes risky private accounts, which will slash benefits for seniors. I think we all know the state of SS benefits, but if there is going to be reform in this area, they have to come up with something a hell of a lot better than this. We've all spent our entire working lives paying for this by way of taxes out of every single paycheck, and to take a risky chance of losing it all? How can this be acceptable? This is the best we can do?
Thanks Painkiller and VOM for showing respect in this messed up world of politics. At the end of the day we may not all agree with each other, but I learn as much as I share when it comes to the issues, and it helps when opposing sides aren't going at each other's throats.

It's not hard at all, Ron. Just tell us what McCain has voted for you disagree with regarding "labor" That's your main concern, I can appreciate that, but give me some specifics.
BTW, you should know that I am no McCain fan, but I know how bad the alternatives are.
So, if you don't mind, give me three specific things McCain has voted for which makes you think Obama would be a better president.
