First off I didn't mention UHC in my post, so why don't you respond to what I did type, like has tax cuts on gas, or his lack of knowledge on the issues going on in the middle east. The man doesn't have a clue what is going on, but yet he is willing to to spend 100 years in Iraq, I guess he would have time to learn the issues if that where to happen. The only bad thing would be that he wouldn't be around to see many of those years, so I can see why getting to learn the issues doesn't matter, because he wont have to deal with them for long.


So what you are telling me is that you can only use right wing rhetoric and talking points to respond to my opinions.

I dont think privatizing everything is really going to help, I don't trust having the decisions in this country made by huge, private organizations. Universal health care does have it's problems, but I believe those can be worked out and UHC could work. The system we have now is horrible, so a change could be a good thing.

McCain on environment

McCain scored a zero, a big fat 0 on his environmental voting record, so I dont think the earmarks had anything to do with his NOT VOTING on the issue. If he didnt like the bill, he should have shown up and voted no, but he just didnt show up. Which tells me he isn't concerned with the future of renewable energy. He was in DC two days before the voting occurred, so he had time. Both Obama and Hillary had time to vote, so I dont see why McCain had any excuse to not show up. What really ticks me off is that the NEXT day after the clean energy incentives where cut from the stimulus package McCain shows up to vote, and the bill passes.

Clinton also supports the gas tax holiday. Now, what if we leave Iraq? What does that say to anyone who is willing to go to war against us. To me that shows that if you can inflict some causualties on the US then we will go home without finishing the job. Keep in mind that if we had finished the job in Somalia a few years ago terrorists may not have the belief that they could defeat what truly is the greatest army in the world. Plus there is a difference in McCain controlling a war than Bush. McCain has been there he knows what it's like to fight and to be captive. Also what does that say about all those that we lost. If we leave the job unfinished basically we kill them again by saying their lives were not meaningful enough to finish the job we started. It won't take 100 years all we need to do is help stabilize their government so that they can control these extremists groups. And about him not voting maybe he had a 24hr virus??
