McCain is the enemy not Obama or Clinton. I am thinking of wearing not only an Obama political pin but also a Clinton pin. I am trying to tell Democrats that I will
support either nominee even if Obama is my preference. How awful that we have to battle Democrats as well as Republicans to get a great President!

Where did you hear that, Rush? I heard Obama plainly say on television that Hillary should be allowed to campaign as long as she wants. Not once have I heard Obama denigrate Hillary’s campaign despite the underhanded tricks and lies she is guilty of.

Of course people come here. We are a massive country with tons of great med schools and a for-profit health system that makes sure the Docs get paid VERY well. Hence, the hotshot Docs are here, not in Canada. But I also notice that Vytorin hadn’t even been approved for use in Canada, while our wonderful system has allowed millions of doses of the stuff to flow into people’s blood streams. Yea, the world is looking to us for leadership on this issue!

And you think this is working? Note this study;

An average of 195,000 people in the USA died due to potentially preventable, in-hospital medical errors in each of the years 2000, 2001 and 2002, according to a new study of 37 million patient records that was released today by HealthGrades, the healthcare quality company.

From small business owners (many of whom are shutting down because they can’t afford health care) to large corporations (who are struggling under its enormous financial weight) our health care system is BROKEN.

I’m not saying the Canadian or UK systems are perfect…but to imagine that ours is anything but a train wreck is disingenuous.

Pilt

yeah, well, for one thing auto companies have moved to onterio so they don’t have to pay medical benefits and people who live in Canada or European counties with government coverage of medical costs live longer. We have a great system for the rich.

These are all right wing talking points made famous by none other than Rush. If things are so bad in Europe where they have socialized medicine do you hear any clamoring for change? NO ! I just came back from the Bahammas (Nasau) where they have socialized medicine. The driver of the tour bus said when he goes to the hospital he pays just $12.00. There may be a wait to be seen but if you have something serious “they see you immediatly” . So much for the horror stories from the right. If it’s done right it works well.

You can’t expect Obama to look at everyones resume when they contribute. These are individuals not corporations and if the big wigs in the corporations are willing to contribute on their own they know something you don’t because the truth of the matter corporations don’t pick sides when they contribute. They give to both sides so they always win. When individuals give they usually only give to one side. I thought you knew that.

I get so angry to hear that some pseudo-Democrats will vote for McCain if their favorite Democratic candidate does not become the Democratic nominee. I hope you are correct that at least the Democrats will get control of both chambers in Congress with enough legislators to prevent the Repuglicans from stopping most Democratic initiatives. I’d love to see “McBush” unable to continue much of Bush’s disastrous agenda.
