Questions for McCain and Obama
Sent this as an email to a friend today, but thought it made a decent post for everyone as well.
These articles are short, shouldn't take you long to look them over. No partisan opinion here, just a set of really good questions for each of the candidates, addressing some statements they've made during the campaign and before - from a libertarian author. For Obama, he goes after his recent flip-flopping on some major issues, his "change we can believe in" empty rhetoric, and some things that just don't add up. For McCain, he addresses his love for big government and desire for new entitlement programs, his apparent negative opinion on the private sector, and his hypocrisy with respect to his wife's former drug addiction vs. his "war on drugs" stance.

Again, I'm not trying to present any argument here at all. Both candidates have some serious questions on this list, and I doubt we'll ever get answers (at least, until one of them is president and shows us their true side).
Also - did you see this article about how 8 years after Bush took office, our government has racked up an additional $382 billion dollars in annual deficit -- and that doesn't include the war spending! So much for "Conservatives"... Just remember, while Democrats love to "tax and spend", the Republicans have been the party of "borrow and spend" - taking the money from future generations to pay for "stimulus checks" and bank bailouts by running us into terrible deficits, depending on foreign nations to purchase the debt.
Sooner we throw both parties out of the country and start over, the better off this country will be...
