President Ronald Reagan was a “fiscal conservative” and he gave us a $200 billion deficit.

President George H.W. Bush was a “fiscal conservative” and he gave us a $300 billion deficit.

President Bill Clinton was a “tax and spend liberal” and he gave us a $200 billion surplus.

President George W. Bush, a “fiscal conservative,” gave us a $482 billion deficit and counting.

Sen. John McCain is a “fiscal conservative.” So what will he give us?

This nation can’t afford another “fiscal conservative”!

I believe we need to make a change in direction, and I will support the Democratic nominee, Barack Obama, and I urge everyone to vote for change.
