boorad33033,

If these votes in the Illinois Legislature never get mentioned inquiring minds want to know..where did yu hear about them?FoxNews maybe.

To say that Universal Healthcare has never worked anywhere is just plain not true or even close to being true. The reason that universal healthcare has not been enacted in this country is because the insurance company and pharmacutical lobbies have bought off enough politicians to kill it. They just killed the reimportation of domestically produced drugs on the premise that we can't guarantee their safety. We need to keep trying to pass universal healthcare until we beat those slimy *** and the politicians who love them.

As far as Iraq is concerned, why must Democrats have a detailed plan for leaving but the Republicans have never been expected to have a detailed plan for staying?

RandalDS,

Even the Native Americans came from someplace else.

It seems it's more important to Americans what runs through your veins then what is in your head.
Pitiful.

my irish grandmother lived to 96 - was an immigrant - and, a poor one when she arrived. she sympathized with all those struggling to build a new life and was a vocal supporter of the black civil rights movement.

she would say: "the black people are fighting just as we are here - to get ahead - they're as irish as I am - in fact, they're smoked irishmen"!

So, Obama, go to Ireland, USA, and you'll find alot of sympathic supporters!

It's both interesting and odd that for a moment in time (literally a moment) the American media machine's attention has been drawn to our little area of this great island on the edge of the world. It seems that the Irish-American vote must at least be worth traveling over to get coverage of our church and community. It was a very unexpected discovery anyway!

It is amazing to me how this guy was the only one in the Illinois state legislature that voted against banning porn on public school computers in his state, he was also the only one that voted against a provision that would have made it illegal for sexual offenders to live within 1000 feet of a school, but for some reason this never gets mentioned. He is also for universal healthcare, which when tried everytime before has failed on a large scale, but yet we're gonna try it again??? Also I know he was against the war, what is his exit plans, I hear all the Dems talk about leaving but I have yet to hear a detailed plan on how to leave. Pure American right, pure politician that is probably one of the least qualified folks in the race, a freshman senator, don't get me wrong, looking at the pitiful display of canidates both sides have, I am scared that yet again this election I will be voting on who I think would do the least damage to the country while in office

Makes one realize that we all came here from somewhere else. At least those not 100% Native Amrican that is.
