Obama said the other day, on the Ellen Degenerate Show, that he thinks he "is a better dancer than John McCain". OK. Here is what I think: I think Obama needs to have both his arms and legs broken, several times over, over a period of--say--FIVE YEARS. Then let's starve him for a few years, in solitary confinement, and then generally abuse him physically in every way we can, and then---let's put him out on the dance floor and see how good a dancer he is. Let's see his moves. Let's see his "boogy". OK. Now, all that happened to John McCain, war hero, while he stood tall for America. What, exactly, has Obama stood tall for? What? What has he put it all on the line for?????

The financial sector, the housing industry, the medical establishment. Click, click, click, the dominoes fall. Our era will be studied as the sudden and unexpected dawning of the Socialist States of America. Odd, as the rest of the world wakes up to the fact that their socialist nanny states have stifled innovation and put an intolerable debt burden on their citizens... we Americans are rushing to adopt all the same practices. Maybe we really are as retrograde as the Europeans say we are. If you liked Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, you're going to love Ted Kennedy's final gift to our nation.

SJM, Canada has a socialized medicine system, a balanced budget, and less than half the debt per person as the US does....we could be so lucky. Canadians owe $18,000 per person We owe $34,431 per person Adjust for difference in dollar means Canadians owe $15,103 TSX (canadian Stock Exchange) Up 34% to Date from Bush's Inauguration Dow Jones Down 17% over same period Canadian dollar Jan 20, 2001=.6612US Canadian dollar Today =.8110US Darn, after doing this research I wish I had invested in Canadian stocks, just on the dollar rise alone I would have done well. I think the "socialist" crap that McSame is pushing is lame. We already have a socialist system,Police, Firefighters, Highways, Streets etc. This is a scare tactic, to take money out of the greedy insurance companies hands and put it in a system that benefits the majority.

This is almost the sickest thing I have ever seen come out of Congress, using a lib on his death bed to secure a bill that will signal the end of the greatest, most innovative health care system in the world! And Enzi and the Republicans line up behind it. It simply proves they value those in the elitist Congress over the American people. You can bet the Congress will be exempt from this just as they are from the disaster that is Medicare! Banned Monique: You don't fool anyone. Doctors in Canada quit working when they have used the dollars for health care assigned by the government. Uh...too bad for any one needing health care. Queuing for surgeries leads to death for many of Canada's citizens unable to obtain timely health care. Many Canadians come to the U.S. simply because over a certain age they cannot get treatment... Welcome to Kennedy Care!

Oh forgot. My Canadian cousin, who happens to be a physician in Toronto, had a son with cerebral palsy. He began having seizures. Since there were only 2 MRIs in the entire city, he had to wait two years to determine the cause of his seizures and the damage that occurred as a result. Veterinarians are allowed MRI machines but are prosecuted if they used them on humans--welcome to Kennedy Care!!!

Another secret behind closed national healthcare plan for Obama. It seems they talked to everyone but McCain and Joe the Plumber. Why not? What's another $500 billion a year. Let's bring the total indenturement up to $2 trillion (20% + or - of the GNP). The government now has majority control of the economy, the banks, the auto industry, retirement, agriculture through subsidies and this will give them healthcare. That only leaves the airlines and energy, but they control energy through environmental legislation anyway. Healthcare wasn't Kennedy's dream, it was Clinton's. They are just riding on the Kennedy name. Someone has decided it is time for the U.S. to join the global socialist governance. Bush's bailout plan kicked it off and the Democrat led Congress is going to seal it. Europe has a parlimentary system that has proportional representation and no confidence votes for dynamic change. If Obama wins with supermajority, our Republican two party system is currently binary and with the power agenda of the Democrats, legislation will be passed that will indenture the average citizen through taxes for social programs to keep them in power. That's Kennedy's dream, not healthcare. The socialists will determine who the millionaires are, not the economy.

In the American Heritage College Dictionary it states that in 1854 the Republican Party was organized to oppose the extension of slavery. Other key discriptions were Repubicans were not headed by a monarchy and that they were equals working together. How far they have fallen. How contradictory has their reign been. Ray-gun-nomics, the support of big business, and a minimum wage that approaches 0 because of inflation. Making us slaves to corporate entities that more and more do not offer benefits to it's employees. I've encountered some national chains that make a policy to not hire full time employees. No monarchy ever had such economic discrepancy. Kings of industry are what have been supported. And equality is a far cried dream. Maybe no where as much as it concerns health care. Slaves were treated with better care when they were personal property. A slave would not lose his home due to a broken arm. Maybe we should blame farm subsidization. While we have not starved todays slave could work the rest of his life trying to pay off a broken arm.

This will be just wonderful. Now, instead of being slaves of the "greedy insurance companies", we will be slaves of the greedy government. Oh yeah! That's the answer! Hail government! Hail Washington! Hail the Damnocrats! God, please save us from ourselves! Maranatha!

Ironically I helped build at least half a dozen hospitals in No. Virginia. They might as well be golf course cause I can't afford to play, pay...what ever. But it's not a joke. Every aspect of our lives have become dominated by corporate giants and franchises. Look at a shoping center and see a line of franchises that may or may not be a part of a conglomorate who probably owns the property as well. Walmart was bad but every inch of breating room is being bought up, every inch of specialized business entity. Farming and agriculture, land developers, a hardware store may be something you have to go to Deadwood and see Star and Bullock's. McCain is an affront to humanity. A real Maverick would fight, fight the good fight.

Obam's nomination has made our country a complete mess and an embarrassment for the world to view. Obama and his team of supporters have reared the ugly head of sexism and racism, criticized our country to the world and have been a complete embarrassed with voter fraud and the entire voting process. Many in my community have never seen such bias in reporting, if you want to call it that. It is an embarrassing time to be an American. The media should be emphasizing the importance of supporting a man with good character, not defend a man that has associations and support from the far left, anti American radical leaders and the like: Farrakhan, Rezko, Nation of Islam, Rev. Wright, William Ayers, Father Plaeger, United Trinity Church of Christ, Shame on the media, shame on the Democrats and all Americans that support Obama's unfair tactics.

HAWAII TRIED UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE. THIS MONTH THEY REPORTED THEY ARE GOING BACK TO OLD SYSTEM BECAUSE IT DOESNT WORK. john McCain's plan of letting people choose for themselves is a better plan. With his Plan you can initiate your own healthcare choice and keep it up yourself. But at lease everyone will be given enough to begin their own Plan. We dont need constant handouts from Government, just a helping hand. Scrap Kennedy's plan - it wont work.

Question of the day

White House officials and Senate Democrats met in private three times last week to craft health care legislation. Do you think these discussions should be more public?
