None of this matters. Obama isn't losing the moderate Republican votes. Obama is losing the independent votes. This accounts for his falling approval in the polls. Only moderate Republicans listen to McCain. Sort of.
American independents are listening to Obama and not liking what they are hearing, or experiencing things in their lives they didn't know they were voting to get when they voted for "change!"
And now to get momentum the DNC plans to rename Obama Care to Obama Health Kennedy Care, or other cheezey little ploy.Good luck!
And still--don't blame Republicans if it don't pass. Democrats in congress can still pass it if they want to, alone! Tthe Republicans are just sooo ANTI IRISH!

- As noted already, McCain falsely claimed Obama once voted for a Democratic budget bill that called for raising taxes on persons making as little as $32,000 a year, when in fact the proposal would not have affected anyone with total income under $41,500 a year, or $83,000 for a married couple with no children.
- McCain stated that Obama would raise taxes "if you have an investment for your child's education or own a mutual fund or a stock in a retirement plan." This was found to be "false" by our colleagues at Politifact.com, and we concur.
McCain has been twisting tax facts about Obama as far back as June 10, when he gave a speech to a small-business gathering saying: "Under Senator Obama's tax plan, Americans of every background would see their taxes rise." There may be persons of "every background" among the affluent, but McCain's phrasing was misleading. These ads continue his long-running pattern of deception on taxes.
