The debate shows they have no clue. None whatsoever. You can tell the GOP exactly what you're doing and they continue to label him and us as crazy. Crazy sits at home and complains. We're moving.

This had to be the most immature and unprofessional question I've ever seen anyone ask. Now I understand why they are rated at the bottom of the network list.
I just sent this to a friend that works at our Fox station here, She said its a big thing with Fox right now. Just in our area over ten 30 sec. spots have been cut due to this. People are mad!

Charlotte NC's Fox station is saying the same thing. It's called BLOWBACK. I wonder if they're getting it now?

Eh. It's not about their stock for me. It's about making them look like idiots and partisan hacks for the neocons. Paul has helped by making himself appear weak in other debates. He unleashed last night. They will not invite him back. I hope he has personal security detail and isn't relying on the secret service.

But the Democrats are no better. They want to give people "free" healthcare. Who pays for that? Obama wants to pass it off to the corporations. Does anyone believe they won't pass it on to the consumer? Fred Thompson did score one point with me last night. People are hurting. It's a long way from over. At least he recognized the issue even if I disagree with his ways to fix it.

This doesn't even factor in the housing/mortgage crisis. We're not coming out of that until at least 2011.
Please educate yourself on health care. Read about how businesses are leaving America today and are closing shop today because they can't afford our "free market" health care model anymore. If we start making the health care industry accountable for their inefficiencies, graft, layers of useless bureaucracy, like any other business costs for health care will drop dramatically. Businesses are screaming for government intervention. At least the Democrats are making proposals to address this -one of the most critical issues today. Republicans are too busy cracking jokes about Muslims and virgins, and trying to outdo each other on how big a fence they will build along Mexico. Ridiculous.

I'm glad you called it a "free market" and not free market, but because the healtcare industry is anything but a free market. We've got more healthcare regulation than any other country, but somehow this is left out of any discussion as to why our healthcare is more expensive.
