    I can understand your concern for health care. but I have seen goverment socialist ran healtcare.
    much is we pay if you use the doctors (WE) say. You'll get the care (WE) say. You'll use only the medications (WE) say. I much prefer the I say and what doctors I choose say, and my choice of medications plan. I pay for my Blue Cross Blue Shield. I much prefer McCain's medical care rebate to allow me to choose the health care that suits my health and needs as opposed toi the goverment deciding what they (think) I need. The liberal like of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd can't run Fannie and Freddie without running it in the ground. Do you think the goverment could run healthcare without screwing that up too, give me a break!

      To Scooter2beatbigoi Strange you should say that I live in Canada and I go to whatever doctor I choose at any time no restrictions at all.
      On the other hand my inlaws in Arizona have to choose from from doctors approved by their insurance company.

        The problem with this is....Canada CURRENTLY already HAS socialized health care....what American's are concerned with is this....we have doctors NOW that we STILL would like to have....under Socialized Health Care....it will no longer be "competitive" by their standpoints and they can OPT to NOT practice any longer or not here in America.....they will not get paid AS MUCH as they would working on their own like now.....Just as doctors have OPTED OUT of HMO's in the past.....they will do the same with socialized care....meaning....NO you likely will NOT have same doctor....but some intern or witch doctor who knows little about you or your health.....Not ONLY this....but Americans dont want to be on some "waiting list" for operations ect that are needed.....we already have to wait sometimes over a week or more for appointments as it is.....with EVERYONE on the plan and the illegals here also who would be eligible UNDER FULL AMNESTY and ELIGIBLE FOR ALL GOVERNMENT BENEFITS AT THAT POINT.....we would have to wait FOREVER to get decent or ANY medical care !!!!

    McCain plans on cutting Medicare to pay for his bad health care initiative as written in the Wall Street Journal:

      I think you may be confused. Usually left-leaning pundits and politicians call an increase a cut just because it isn't raised as high as they want it. This is common pratice by leftist. Educate yourself.

    McCain was a socialist before he was a...whatever he is now. Watch him defend the progressive tax system in 2000 in almost exactly the same words Obama used with Joe the plumber.

    FactCheck.Org is owned by the Annenberg group of Chicago! Talk about a conflict of interest! And Obama has been telling people on the trail to check out the site to verify his opponents claims. Funny, every time that he endorsed something, it turns out to be a part of his spin machine! Like he raised objections in the primaries when Indiana required photo I.D. to vote. He Protested that It took away people's right to vote! I
    knew then and there that he was up to no good! America, wake up from the MASS HYPNOSIS!

    The Republican Party is reaping the "rewards" of eight years of Bush and Company. What did they expect? Karma, baby! What goes 'round, comes 'round.

    Mind your attutude, to say that Barack is unlucky because his mother died, Ted Kenedy and his grandmother is sick is mental. Fortune tellers and *** shouldn't be in the same blog. Where have you been for the last 8 years to claim that democrats start wars to stimulate the economy? Are you going to pick McCain if you are such an environmentalist?

    The RNC can't comprehend this, you wish bad things to others and bad things happen to you. The man that led a group in prayer for rain on the DNC convention nearly brought a hurricaine to the RNC convention. The RNC attacks ACORN and the Lincoln Strategy Group directed by Natan Sproul is under investigation, and the Young Polictical Major's ring leader Mark Jacoby is arrested. YPM is paid in part by McCain's California co chairman Steve Poisener (ph), a multi-millionaire who offered YPM five dollars for every new Republican registered, like a bounty.

    Then there is Nathan Sprewell, former head of the Arizona Republican party. He, too, now in the vote registering business and a serial denier of whistle blowers, who not only accuse him of slamming voters into the Republican party, but also claim he has torn up Democratic registrations in Oregon, Nevada, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Real registrations of real voters, real Americans who thought they were registered, and may very well have been denied to vote in the real elections of 2004. .

    Comment: Comment: Comment: People on these bogs are fond of saying that the current economic meltdown was caused by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac underwriting bad mortgages. While Fannie and Freddie obviously are guilty of writing bad mortgages, and worse, guilty of lobbying Congress to allow them to do so with impunity, their actions are just a small piece of the puzzle when it comes to determining who (or what) caused the financial crisis we face today.

    In 1929 the stock market crash caused the banks to fail, because the banks were in bed with the stock market. Back then, banks owned investment houses, so when the stock market fell, the banks fell too. This triggered the Great Depression. So in 1933 the Congress wrote laws that regulated banking, making it illegal for banks to own investment companies, mortgage guaranty companies or insurance companies. The idea was to keep key industries separated by a fire wall, so that if one industry failed the whole economy would not go down in flames.

    But the Republicans under Bush deregulated the banking industry. Senator Phil Gramm wrote legislation (the Gramm Rudman Act, the Gramm Leach Biley Act, etc.) that stripped away the regulations in the financial and insurance industies. He pushed them through the Republican Congress and they were signed into law by Geo. W. Bush. John McCain voted in favor. Everybody said how great it is to deregulate and create free markets.

    Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch each gave over a million dollars to Senator Gramm's re-election campaign.

    The economic collapse that happened later was a direct result of the deregulation, and here's how: the banks wrote bad mortgages, then bundled the mortgages into investment vehicles that they sold all over the world, and they even got firms like AIG to insure the investments. It was all a house of cards.

    If there had been no deregulation, sure we would have had a bunch of bad mortgages, and the mortgage guaranty and real estate industries would have suffered, but there would not have been a global financial meltdown, since the problem would have been contained in one sector of the economy. You can thank Geo W. Bush, Sen. Phil Gramm and Sen John McCain for the meltdown, since they were strong proponents of deregulation.

    Furthermore, although Fannie and Freddie are now holding the bulk of these bad mortgages, Fannie and Freddie did not originally write most of these mortgages. They bought them after the fact, bundled by banks/investment companies. Fannie and Freddie got screwed by the Wall Street fat cats. And so did you, if you pay taxes.

    What is Phil Gramm doing today? He works as a lobbyist in Washington, trying to make it legal for the Swiss bank he represents to sell Death Bonds in the United States. Nice guy, Phil Gramm. Incidentally, John McCain has said that he wants to appoint Phil Gramm as Treasury Secretary. Some people just can't learn from their mistakes.

      you know where i learned of the corruption that caused the crash that you explained..?
      imagine my surprise when i learned of it the first time i watched the movie "White Christmas" some years ago..thankfully it had a happy ending - they fixed what was broken with "regulation" (discipline, in essence) -
      basically same principle, not all but, most parents use to raise their children - respectful, civil, responsible, unwasteful, conservatively with regards to spending mom & dad's $$ -
      we also know the ones whom aren't raised 'disciplined' that way, too..and look at the problems that that creates..(i won't go into the destruction an undisciplined beast..er..child can become, but you may get the idea, i'm hoping)
      when some one whom is liable doesn't want to take responsibilty for the lack of disciplining, then we ALL have to take up the slack and clean up the crap that that lack of discipline leaves in its wake..,i feel we are having to do this now - shoulda spanked the behemoth before he got away is from us because now wagging your finger tsk-tsk-ing is not going to cut it..it's sucks and it's fact but we are just gunna have to suck it up and take it on (responsibilty) or we will lose what all we cherish, to this chaos of this devouring beast called deregulation, undiscipline, greed,, and on and on ad naseum..

    According to an Oct. 8 article in the St. Petersburg Times, the voting status of 8,867 Floridians -- flagged by a new voting law requiring voters' names to match the ID numbers or Social Security numbers given in their registration forms -- was still up in the air. The effect of the new law, which passed three years ago but only took effect on Sept. 8, appears to be the disenfranchisement of Latin-American and African-American voters who comprise more than 50 percent of those whose voting status is being questioned. Voting rights activists say this is because Latinos and African-Americans have more unusual names and are therefore more at risk of being purged this way, due to typos. Reportedly there have been 3,247 more Democrats purged than Republicans.

    In mid-September, Sasha Rethati of Southwest Florida???s public radio station WGCU accused the McCain campaign of voter caging -- the practice of using returned mailers to challenge the residency status of people who failed to collect their mail -- after it sent out mailers to Florida Democrats and independents. The McCain camp roundly denied caging, which would affect both those wealthy enough to live elsewhere during the summer and those economically disadvantaged voters who move their place of residence more often.

    JOHN MCCAIN YOU STARTED THE JOKE THAT MAKES THE WHOLE LAUGHING.......
    BUT THAT DAMN JOKE IS ON YOU !!!!!!!

    Sen. John McCain discounted former Secretary of State Colin Powell's criticism of his economic plans and scoffed at opponent Barack Obama's promises.

    "All I can do is laugh," the Republican presidential nominee said Wednesday in an exclusive interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer in Manchester, New Hampshire.

    "Sen. Obama has been all over the place," McCain said.

    McCain criticized the growth of the federal budget over the past eight years and said it needs to be cut sharply but carefully.

    "We can use a hatchet and a scalpel," he said.

    RoboHate.

    The McCain/Palin campaign is now combining our analog (or digital, cell) telephones with computers, and has produced RoboHate calls against his opponent, to enliven hatred wherever possible.

    Hate is not good for the country. And McCain/Palin uses hatred too often. However, McCain/Palin stumbles grossly on unity.


    This country needs unity in difficult times. Yes We Can. Obama/Biden is right for this country right now.

    THE GREAT BUSH DEPRESSION
    I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
    He perfectly predicted the current meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen next
    is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
    The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide ,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch , Fanny and Freddy Mae ,AIG
    The government took them over because they are bankrupt. Even with the goverment nationalizing hundreds of billions of dollars in debt the stock market is crashing
    the credit markets are frozen and all of us may suffer beyond anything seen in generations
    McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
    That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand how its been broken.
    It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use quantum mathematical models very few people understand.
    Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.
    Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
    Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
    No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He was the last to know somthing was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime. Check out this link to the truth http://my.barackobama.com/keatingvideo
    It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
    even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a budget surplus like Bush did but a crashing economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
    If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
    When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
    So why are the polls even close then ?
    Mccains team just said they no longer want to talk about the economy.Instead they would like to spend time talking about obama
    which means running the biggest smear campaign in history.
    They think they can just tell you lies and you wont be smart enough to see through it
    Let's teach him we are smarter than that
    Stand up and hold them accountable
    Bush isn't on the ballot this year but his policies are
    Elect Obama Biden 2008

    omment: Comment: After 9/11, the US government started rounding up Muslims without cause and without due process of law, like we did to the Japanese Americans in WWII. The Bush administration called it's main internment camp Guantanamo Bay. While there are certainly many guilty terrorists held in Guantanamo, there are also many innocent American citizens who have been held illegally for years without even being charged with any crime. They have been tortured by our government. Some of them have died.

    Recently the Supreme Court ruled against the Bush administration in the matter of Guantanamo Bay. The Supreme Court Justices were NOT on the side of the terrorists. They were on the side of the Geneva Convention, that says you can not torture POWs, and on the side of US laws that state you can not imprison a person without charging them with a crime and bringing them to trial. I'm sure that like most Americans, the Justices who voted against the illegal, immoral doings at Guantanamo didn't feel sympathy for the terrorists. They felt sympathy for the laws of AMERICA, the land of the FREE, where even rat finks get a fair trial.

    Meanwhile, back in Iraq, the Bush administration is busy trying to build a smokescreen to hide the CRIMES they have committed. Those pesky weapons of mass destruction. Just think, the National Debt went up over 6 trillion dollars under Bush. More than 2 TRILLION of it went directly into the pockets of Halliburton, a corporation owned by the Cheney family. Halliburton is now a DUBAI corporation and therefore is not subject to US taxes. All that money they took out of the US Treasury is going into the coffers of a MUSLIM country.

    Did you hear about how the US government is being charged millions for Halliburton deliveries of sand into Iraq from Kuwait? Sand. Like there is a shortage of sand in Iraq? Another contractor shipped sand from Idaho to Iraq at our expense. Nobel prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz discusses these and other excesses of our current government's out of control spending in Iraq.

    Your grandchildren will be working like slaves to pay off this debt, so that the Bushes and Cheneys can live the high life in Dubai.

    Yeah, they're patriots, Bush&Co. They wear flag pins. And hide the money they stole from America in Dubai.

    And they want me to believe that Obama is a socialist. Right.

They felt sympathy for the laws of AMERICA, the land of the FREE, where even rat finks get a fair trial.

    Meanwhile, back in Iraq, the Bush administration is busy trying to build a smokescreen to hide the CRIMES they have committed. Those pesky weapons of mass destruction. Just think, the National Debt went up over 6 trillion dollars under Bush. More than 2 TRILLION of it went directly into the pockets of Halliburton, a corporation owned by the Cheney family. Halliburton is now a DUBAI corporation and therefore is not subject to US taxes. All that money they took out of the US Treasury is going into the coffers of a MUSLIM country.

    Did you hear about how the US government is being charged millions for Halliburton deliveries of sand into Iraq from Kuwait? Sand. Like there is a shortage of sand in Iraq? Another contractor shipped sand from Idaho to Iraq at our expense. Nobel prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz discusses these and other excesses of our current government's out of control spending in Iraq.

    Your grandchildren will be working like slaves to pay off this debt, so that the Bushes and Cheneys can live the high life in Dubai.

    Yeah, they're patriots, Bush&Co. They wear flag pins. And hide the money they stole from America in Dubai.

    And they want me to believe that Obama is a socialist. Right.

    In case you think McCain is any different than Bush, watch this:
