If you are happy with your financial status, your health care costs, spending trillions (or rather BORROWING trillions) more for the war for profit in Iraq, the cost of college tuition, the current state of our country and our status in the world, the further outsourcing of American jobs, and the privitization of your Social Security, you will vote for John McCain.

If you have had enough, support Barack Obama. Enough of the good ol' boy politics. It's time to shake things up.

How will Obama bring jobs back? His healthcare plan requires employers to pay a portion of their payroll into his system. Why is privatizating of Social Security a bad thing? It's obvious the government funded method isn't working. Where will Obama get the money to lower college tuitions while inflation is on the rise making it less affordable to pay for anything?

He will accomplish it all through hoping and changing. How dare you question.

Better to let Hillary fight for us all. She's a tested, experinced leader.

Why, look at the great job she's doing running her campaign.

I don't think the anti-Hope and anti-Change message will fly as time goes on in the general election. The Republicans will have to do better than that.

Why don't you add an anti-Babies and anti-Christmas message to the Republican platform?

The 100-Years-War platform isn't much of a winner, either.

If i'm not mistaking that's almost 1/3 of the entire budget. Bush's proposal is now @ 597 Billion Dollars.

Yes, I think the baby eating campaign is the way to go. Make no mistake, I'm not a McCain supporter either, just an angry individual.

Cutting military spending won't mean that we can spend more money here. The money is not there.

http://www.gao.gov/cghome/d08417cg.pdf

That's the Government Accountability Office's report released in Jan 08 regarding just what we already owe to the promises made for SS, Medicare/caid. This does NOT include the costs of the wars.

How much do we owe?

$175,000 per person in the US. Man, woman, child. And Obama plans to spend how much more?

I agree that military spending must be cut SIGNIFICANTLY, but we can't just add back to social programs with money we don't have.
