McCain = Bush third term - bullox.
Obama = Cater second term - bullox.
But it makes for good press:
Obama-Carter Reality Check | Newsweek Ellis Cose: Facing Facts | Newsweek.com Turning Obama Into Jimmy Carter | The New York Observer Obama = Carter; Part II | Stop Him Now Blog Obama = Carter; Part II | Stop Him Now Blog
And this guy say a bit about Obama=Cater but also compares McCain to Lieberman:
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan
Of course limited comparisons can be made in each case but in reality both are just smoke screens and sound bites meant to instill horror in the minds of the electorate. An electorate that does not have the attention span long enough to really delve into the issues. Thus leaving both campaigns with bascially fear and terror as their main weapons of propaganda.
Funny thing about the Obama-Carter comparison for me is that much of it hinges on the tax and spend nature of the blue team. But when the red team takes control they sure do control taxes but they are just as bad if not worse on the spending side of things. So with the blue team the country pays now, and with the red team the country pays later.
