Who new wrote:Change to what? Democratic capitalism with universal healthcare,


You use the words "Capitalism" and "universal health care" in the same sentence? Are you kidding me?

So called "universal health care" equals one thing... health care rationing. Do you really want us to become like England where it takes a years wait to see a dentist? Where they let babies with treatable birth defects DIE because it would cost their universal health care system too much money?

The US has the greatest health care system in the world. If you don't believe it, ask Lech Welesa, former president of Poland. Last week I read in the paper that he had some major surgery done. Did he go to Great Britain with their wonderful "free" health care system. Nope. Did he go to our neighbor to the north, Canada, with their "universal health care system". Wrong again. No, my friend, he came to TEXAS, UNITED STATES OF BY GOODNESS AMERICA, with our "outdated capitalist freemarket health care system" to get his surgery done. Half way across the world. And he's just one of many.

And it's people like you that want to screw the system up for all of us.

Who new wrote:Change to what? Democratic capitalism with universal healthcare, among many others. Alternative fuel initiatives so we don't rely on so many cars, net neutrality so corporations aren't squelching the freedom of the internet. If we don't quit starting wars the American way of life will end through economic necessity anyway, so get used to change.


I don't want change.

My household is a one income family. Bush's tax cuts saved my rear. I am forever grateful to him for that. Democrats want to kill the tax cuts......I hear Obama brag about it every night on the news.

Alternative fuels...well Bush was the first to really start working on that. Man, we have an alternative fuel station 4 miles from my house in backwoods Mississippi. Who would a thunk it!

Universal healthcare????? You a socialist? I say get a job and buy you some insurance, if you want it. That is the capitalist way! Don't tax my income to pay for healthcare for people who want work. I know that sounds harsh, but you spend some time down here in Mississippi where abled bodied people of all races have learned to live off the government. It is sickening. And Obama wants more of that!?

As far as starting wars....my father and my brother in law both served in Iraq. I respect president Bush because he has kept things secret that would have helped his ratings if he told them. Weapons of mass destruction...don't believe the news.

In the Bush years: my taxes have been less; my income has increased by 54%; I was able to buy my family our first home at great interest rates; why would anybody want "change" from that?

I guess you want higher taxes and higher interest rates with Obama.?? Can anybody say Jimmy Carter? I am old enough to remember those years, yikes!

CHANGE is all you will have left after Obama succeeds at redistributing the fruits of your success to the pockets of others. Socialism by any other name (Democratic Capitalism) is still government theft of your success.

Obama smells like Jimmy Carter.. he sweeps in really unknown except for a few buzz words and a silver tongue and after one term.. everyone will then immediately know he is a pea - NUT.

I could never willingly vote FOR Abortion, for Gay Rights and Against Traditional Marriage.

I keep hearing how bad Bush has been and Obama is the answer because we are at war....umm, do those who throw that up forget that THEY came here and flew planes into our buildings and killed thousands of our people???? What part of that didn't justify going and kicking some butt to you?


Personally I wish Obama would quit calling my house!!! :roll:

I told my father this on the phone the other night.

It all boils down to Morals vs. Economics.

Would you rather vote for the Republican, historically the party that favors the rich yet stands for what is biblically and morally right -- or the Democrat, someone with a better universal economic plan for America yet stand for some pretty reprehensible stuff morally.

When it comes to moral issues, the government can pass whatever it wants to so to speak, it doesn't affect me. As long as their gay marriage, abortion, etc. are passed and I don't have to willfully partake in it, it doesn't affect me. Not saying it is right or that I have a lazy attitude about it but the moral issues only affect a certain amount of the population.

Now about economics, that's another story. Gas prices? We all drive. The mini-recession? It's devaluing my dollar too. The economic issues hit us ALL. Funny thing, when Clinton was in office, not that I liked the guy or anything, but we were pretty stable economically from 93-01. (Another note about Clinton, people say "well he didn't do anything with our military." Uh...that's a good thing, right?)

In which case I would rather vote for a Democrat who could somewhat get us economically back on our feet. Someone else's morals don't affect what I believe and I think the church is better off staying out of the political arena. Politics should be more about economics rather than moral codes trying to be imposed upon someone else anyway.

Crisp, I too am tired of Republicrap.

Beav, I ask this in all seriousness. I really want you to educate me on this. How will Obama make our country more prosperous?

Simply because of his opposition to the Iraq war. It's not going to happen in the next presidency and maybe not even the one after this, but someone has to lay the groundwork to pull the troops out. We're blowing insane amounts of money over in Iraq. www.costofwar.com tells how much. We could use this to improve our own infrastructure and improve our own economy.

Plus I don't think any of the Dem candidates have their hands in the oil companies pockets like Bush or Dicky. In that regard alone, watch gas prices stabilize when a Dem gets elected.

He hasn't, and if you go to mikehuckabee.com and read what all the huck fans say, he can still make it, but without a miracle, I don't see it happen. Whether he can make it or not, when the primaries ever make it here he will get my vote, mainly as a protest against McCain, since mathematically Huck can't make it.

Beav,
First I reject half of that babble about the Democrats having a better plan on the economy. Can you say higher taxes for more free entitlements (insert stolen money here)? And retreat, defeat and surrender isn't my idea of building our image around the world.

Also I hope you can remember that you just selfishly chose a cheaper pocketbook over morals and supporting life, institution of marriage ( via Supreme Justices replacements ).

You just sold your life sustaining cow over some magic beans.. Bravo.

Understatement of the century: Well I guess we simply don't see eye to eye on this stuff.

I support life. I support sanctity of marriage. I support morals. What I don't support is people trying to push those beliefs onto someone else by passing laws intended to create a moral standard for everyone. Why doesn't the church step up and do its job so we don't have to resort to the political arena?
