Today's "conservatives" certainly aren't opposed to spending; in the past eight years they've broken all governmental spending records to date. The only thing they don't spend money on is things that might make the lives of ordinary citizens better. They keep on asking for "sacrifices" from us, while using their money (and the money of subsequent generations) to "invest" in more blunders. I don't know if they're mental lightweights, or just pure evil. Or both. Any Democrat would have been impeached by now.
Although I'm more liberal than conservative, I don't let my "leanings" get in the way of voting for the best person (in my judgement) for the job. For ten years I lived in a "blue" state with two Republican senators, so I'm not the only one who thinks this way. At the beginning of the campaigns I looked seriously at McCain. It didn't take long for him to morph into a person I absolutely could not vote for.
I don't know if you ladies have checked out the site that was posted, but the economic questions you're raising are addressed there in a nonpartisan manner - I would suggest looking at it, it's pretty good information.
Obviously Obama tends to be liberal and votes with the Democratic party a majority of the time (which I'm not saying is necessarily a bad thing), but you can't say he's never done anything bipartisan. Here's an example -
**The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act Authored by U.S. Sens. Dick Lugar (R-IN) and Barack Obama (D-IL), the Lugar-Obama initiative expands U.S. cooperation to destroy conventional weapons. It also expands the State Department's ability to detect and interdict weapons and materials of mass destruction. Signed into Law on January 11, 2007.

It's called G R E E D.
Actually I'm amazed that anyone thinks that the reason we haven't had a terrorist attack on American soil is because the U.S. started a war in Iraq.
2step, I don't really care if terrorists blow one another up, or blow up non-US citizens outside the US.

Amazingly one sided for someone who is voting for the "lesser of two evils".
Hope you don't mind if I jump in here...
>>As to the last bipartisan effort of McCain, it was the immigration bill.
