So you think McCain's comparison was really meant to say that he thinks Obama's intentions are lofty and noble but he's just too inexperienced to execute them, right? In that case, he's flip-flopping on Obama because I don't think he really agrees that Obama's intention to tax the richest 2% or pull out of Iraq on Day 1 are noble intentions. No, clearly McCain was fear mongering, trying to make Joe American who is already worried about $4 per gallon gas think that a vote for Obama is a vote for a return to gas lines of the 70's. Why doesn't he refute Obama with good ideas of his own rather than try and create some scary link to someone else? And as far as Carter is concerned, I'd love to see either of our candidates have half the moral fortitude and intelligence of this Sunday School teaching peanut farmer from Plains who became President not because he was a master politician (which he certainly was not), but because he was honest, hard-working, and intelligent.

Sigh, let none of us minimize the fervor of those who worship on the alter of ideology!
