Got thinking about your post. First off, if you work and receive compensation.... that is far from socialism. Sounds more like capitalism doesn't it? Whether it is money, goods or services, you performed work and are being paid. Granted I would much rather have a better retirement income instead of lower cost medical insurance, but really didn't have the choice. I would venture to say that retirees from most companies get much better retirement than military personnel do. My retirement is so weak I have to have another job just to "TRY" to make ends meet. Next, have you left the US at all? Socialised medicine DOES NOT WORK in other countries. Which explains in part why people come to America for medical treatment. Yes it is expensive here, but when hurt... you will be seen. I have experienced "Socialised medicine" with my injured children. Here they were in pain, but I'm sorry, you have to set an appointment, we might be able to see the child in a week. So you have the lower QUALITY and a long wait. I would hope that you would do a little research before trying to make me sound jaded in my opinions. Socialism does not work. Don't try to twist "EARNED benefits" into handouts. Pretty pathetic but understandable... liberals always twist the truth to try to force their point of view.

Supporters of both Obama and Clinton are equally likely to put the economy first (48 percent to 47 percent), while Obama supporters are more likely to consider the war in Iraq--which the Illinois senator has objected to from the outset--the more important factor (20 percent to 12 percent). Democratic voters across the board consider the economy and jobs the most important issue (46 percent), followed by health care (21 percent) and then Iraq (17 percent).
Democratic voters suggest that whomever wins the nomination will be able to unite the party--slightly more so than their Republican counterparts. Eighty-four percent of all Democratic voters say they would be happy with either candidate as their nominee (76 percent of Republican voters would be happy with McCain; 65 percent with Huckabee).
This poll was conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International from Feb. 6-7. Telephone interviews were conducted with 1,214 registered voters. Registered voters were screened from a random-digit-dial (RDD) telephone sample of 1,394 national adults. Registration status is self-reported. Eighty percent of adults in the sample reported being registered. Thirty-five percent of registered voters are Republicans or lean Republican and 52 percent of registered voters are Democrats or lean Democratic.
Results are weighted so that the sample demographics match Census Current Population Survey parameters for gender, age, education, race, region and population density. The overall margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points for results based on 1,214 registered voters. Results based on smaller subgroups are subject to larger margins of sampling error.
