The last major group where polls show McCain might still be leading is older citizens.

A plan to reduce medicare spending is likely to alienate his last support besides white evangelicals.

I hope this doesn't mean that he wants to cut funding for mental health. Based on most of the posts on this forum from McCain/Palin supporters, we need a HUGE new investment in mental health cures.

I think that was her beauty pageant platform. She got confused. Her new platform is keeping all those nasty Russians in line from her house!

Actually the senior citizens are already flocking to Obama, at least in Florida. But word of this, get ready for an Obama landslide in November.

I heard him state that he would freeze ALL spending with the exception of defense. That knocks out all the social programs.

So the government is suppose to take care of you because you a a child with cerebral palsy?

Goodness, I feel bad for your child but it is NOT the governments job to take care of your child.

We cannot take care of everyone who has a problem, people need to find ways to take care of themselves when a problem comes up and not rely on government assistance.

Your remarks are very mean-spirited. Shame on you.
