Federalist vs. Anti-Federalist

In this article Presidential candidate Barrak Obama accuses the republicans of using "swift boat politics." stating that presidential candidate John Mccain is campaigning for exactly the same thing the current administration has been doing.

These are very strong words for Obama to use against Mccain and I think he is taking an Anti-federalist stance on our government in an attempt to win over the American people who he says agrees with him. As an Anti-federalist he thinks that the government is to strong and there needs to be "change" in our current goverment wile John Mccain (the federalist in this situation) is campaigning to keep our government a strong one, more or less the same.

This situation is a classic example of a federalist vs. anti federalist situation that still remains present today. I think it is awesome the the same debate that was going on during the conception of our government still rages on today.
