i agree, if there isn''t a candidate you''re in love with, choose the lesser of the evils. I''m choosing McCain/Palin. Their health plan is cheaper and will cover more people.

There was a third-party assesssment on both parties health care plans. check out this website for the full info.

partial summary of John mcCains health plan

If these proposals were implemented immediately and in total, there would be a
reduction in the uninsured by 27.5 million covered lives (from 47 million) at an
annual cost of $287 billion.

partial summary of Barack Obama''s health plan

If implemented immediately and in total, there would be a reduction in the
uninsured by 25.5 million covered lives (from 47 million) at an annual cost
exceeding $452 billion dollars.

Which looks more comprehensive? Read the report and make your decision.

All in all I will still choose the less of the 2 evils. Meaning Obama/Biden is a better choice than McCain/Palin.
The health care package that McCain wants to push will only give the insurance providers room to raise rates so everyone will still be back at the starting line again.

BO cheated in the caucus primaries with Clinton-using ACORN. He paid them 800 grand, and tried to hide the payment. ACORN is showing up in all the battleground states with voter fraud all over their mug shots.
Does a cheater only cheat once?

Wow - who''s mudslinging now? All I asked was for someone to point out why his policies are so good. I''m pretty sure I''ll be able to counter it with fact.

EVERYONE will suffer if big business gets hit with the kind of taxes Barack is stating he''ll do. Except of course, Fannie mae and Freddie Mac, because they''re actually backing him, so I''m sure the bailout has some sort of measure to protect those entities. The business will cut jobs and lower salaries to compensate for the windfall taxes.

McCain people seem to forget that he''s no great pick either. Didn''t he leave his wheel-chair bond wife for the now Cindy McCain? Where is the morality in that? If he could do that to her then just what type of morals does he really represent for this country? There a number of things that can be brought out about Mr.McCain. So let''s all just stop the mud slinging & let this race be about the issues at hand. The biggist of issue being who will really get America back on it''s feet taking into consideration the tax paying working poor as well as the ''middle class''.

What solutions, ideals and good judgement do you think Obama has offered?

Is it his middle-class tax cuts? History shows if you tax big business, as he says he will, they will cut costs, the middle class or lower-middle class who works for these companies will be unemployed. He is also stating will will allow the Bush Administration''s middle-class tax cuts to expire. Oops -- more taxes for middle-class not less.

Excellent ad! And I agree, our country does deserve better. That is why I''m saying "no thanks" to Barack Obama and voting for John McCain and Sarah Palin.

McCain/Palin ''08!

Look beyond his authoritative voice and don''''t be manipulated by the media. Think for yourself.

YAWN, don''t worry, I won''t let the conservative media influence MY vote-my vote was decided months ago- for either CLinton or Obama- which ever one made it to this point got my vote no matter what the repubes come up with in their attack ads.

"Mccain is losing because he made some very bad judgements. In the polls, it appears that the majority of Americans do not like him, or Palin, or their ideas."

Cant stand either one of them, they are redneck, arrogant, pissants who are all WRONG for this country.
Palen is likely to replace Mcshame because he wont last 4 years- he has cancer 4 times and is 73 and refuses to release ALL of his medical records. So u wanna talk "experience" try a right wing backwoods moron from Alaska whose abstinence only program at home was a FAILURE and whose best qualifications is 2 year Gov of a state with less people than Memphis!

"Obama is winning because he offered solutions and ideas and sound judgement. in the polls, it appears that people like what they have seen and heard from him".

He is all right for this country, calm, cool, educated, rational, he has good ideas and the termperament to run foreign affairs and everything else.

We all know the background of McCain. "

Yeah, we sure do- a mental misfit POW with psychological problems from years of captivity and torture who refuses to release his COMPLETE medical records, who voted 90% of the time with king George, so we can expect 4 more years of the same KRAP if he gets in, probably worse.


"Obama has only been a senator for 2 years, what kind of experience is that to run an entire country?/"

WRONG, he has been a Senator for almost FOUR years not two.
A president doesn''t run the show by himself- he has STAFFERS a VP and many many more PLUS the entire Congress overseeing everything.

What kind of experience does being a POW have for running the country?


"*** is still in control , and if this man gets elected its because *** is wanting to bring America

this ad from Let Freedom Ring reiterates what my earlier post stated about the republicans, John McCain as well, trying to reform fannie mae and freddie mack again in 2006 - Barack Obama voted against the reform. Check out the ad. http://www.neverfindout.org/
