And i don't think McCain would have divided the Country as much either. He wouldn't have engaged in violent & hateful rhetoric like calling fellow Americans 'Racists' & 'Terrorists.' This current President has divided the Nation like no other i've seen before. It's very sad.
Agreed on this. McCain's natural inclination is to be a uniter and peacemaker while Obama was trained in the Alinsky school of divide and conquer.
So yes, we would have had some less destructive spending and we would not have had the rise of the militant extreme Left that we have seen. I'm am more ambivalent on the foreign policy question as McCain in not known to be unprincipled or to make rash, unconsidered decisions. I don't think our foreign policy could possibly have been any worse. I don't know if we would be entangled in the mini war in Lybia or not if McCain had been at the helm.
Another unknown is whether we would have had a Tea Party movement with McCain at the helm. As I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be using TARP as a petty cash fund for the President and wouldn't have implemented the destructive and harmful stimulus package and we wouldn't have Obamacare to deal with and McCain would have pushed to make the Bush tax cuts permanent, the Tea Party might not have organized. Or maybe they would have anyway to give McCain some support.
These are things we'll never know.
Excellent points. Thanks.
