Your turn for the broken link Mike.

The plain fact of the matter is most of the developed world has socialized healthcare anf has done so for the last 50 years, is it ideal no nothing ever is, but it works.

think about the cost of medical insurance over here, then compare the taxes you pay here with the British rate.

Mike, that is no different from over here, the insurers pull the same **** at higher cost.

The Grass Is Not Always Greener: A Look at National Health Care Systems Around the World

Okay folks, I have changed my mind. I am voting Obama/Biden and here is:

Why I am voting Democrat!

I’m voting Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of spending MY MONEY than I would. I think when you spread the wealth around it is good for everybody! It’s Patriotic!

I’m voting Democrat because I believe that business should not be allowed to make profits for themselves. All profits are evil and should be confiscated for Government Redistribution.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe that MORE Government regulations and higher taxes on Business will stop Business from exporting their jobs to Countries with LESS Government regulations and lower taxes.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe terrorists should be allowed to have trials in American courts. And be able to subpoena top secret documents, soldiers, government officials, etc. to cross examine for their defense. They should have ACLU lawyers who can help intimidate Americans who serve on the juries!

I’m voting Democrat because I believe Gay Marriage should be the law of the land and will probably produce better children.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe English should not be the official language of the United States. I don’t mind pushing one for English when I use the phone.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe partial birth abortion is okay but water boarding a terrorist is disgusting.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe having a domestic terrorist like Bill Ayers as a close friend is a good thing. It allows for great relations with foreign terrorists.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe in a FREE government health care system. I believe doctors, nurses, hospitals, drug companies, etc. will gladly donate their time, products, services, facilities, etc. for FREE and that will be a better system.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe in and support trial lawyers, frivolous lawsuits and outrageous jury verdicts.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe 9/11 was an inside job to con the American people to go to war for oil.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe social security is solvent and that there is a social security lock box and I don’t believe social security is a Ponzi scheme.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe MOST AMERICANS are bitter and cling to their guns and religion. Let’s rid our country of guns and religion!

I’m voting Democrat because I believe illegal aliens deserve all the rights of ordinary Americans plus some additional rights Americans do not have.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe corporations should pay higher taxes! I believe higher taxes on business will make the price of their products and services LESS EXPENSIVE.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe groups like ACORN who register felons, drug addicts, wino’s, homeless drifters, illegal aliens, dead people, children, fictional Disney characters, etc. makes my vote count more.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe celebrating the winter solstice shows compassion for the small minority of people that do not celebrate Christmas.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe hard core criminal murders and rapists deserve life and that the innocent unborn deserve death. It’s a choice I can live with.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe Bush caused Hurricane Katrina and he blew-up the levies in the ninth ward of New Orleans.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe that any one who is not partaking in one of the many wonderful government programs obviously has too much money and should pay higher taxes.

I’m voting Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq the terrorists will be happy and now think of us as good people.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe our soldiers are AIR RAIDING villages and killing innocent people.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe sex in the Oval Office with an intern is a private matter and that everybody lies under oath about sex.

I’m voting Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as long as it does not offend people. Can’t we all just get along?

I’m voting Democrat because I believe oil companies’ profits are wrong. I believe higher taxes on oil companies will produce lower prices at the pump.

I’m voting Democrat because I believe we need to rid ourselves of dependency on foreign oil, BUT I AM AGAINST offshore drilling for oil and natural gas, drilling in Anwar, building nuclear power plants and clean coal technology.

And finally, I’m voting Democrat because I believe Reverend Wright when he said “GODDAMN AMERICA” and “OUR CHICKENS ARE COMING HOME TO ROOST”. Hey let’s make a comfortable nest for those chickens!:p;-):mrgreen:

Why are you voting Democrat?

I forgot one thing:

I am voting democrat because I want all illegals to have drivers license. Kind of like Mohammad (Mr.9/11) Atta.

The thing that everyone fails to recognize is that America has had socialized medical care for as long as I can remember located in every emergency room in every hospital across America, no one is denied medical care and everyone regardless of their ability to pay gets to see a doctor. Unfortunately this just so happens to be the most costly form of socialized medical care in the world.

kpierce · October 25, 2008, 8:09pm

That’s not true. Most of the time it is, not every time.

jfarsetta · October 25, 2008, 8:22pm

Joe,

Unfortuately, this is simply not true. Although most receive funding for indigent care from state and federal sources, an emergency room can, and will, turn you away in a non-emergency (eg: life threatening) situation if they discover you have no health care and question your ability to pay.

By the way… I’m voting for Obama for two prime reasons:

I am looking forward to Oprah being named ambassador to the UK and

I am looking forward to his “test” (as Biden describes it) within the 1st 6-monts of his 1st term. You know the one… where no oe will think he is hand,ing it correctly but we should all support his action, So, what will it be? I say a terrorist attack against us, with no retaliation from the US, and where Obama sits down to talk with some scumbag and negotiates tit for tat…

The list of reasons just get longer Joe!

jburkeson1 · October 25, 2008, 8:47pm

Pulleeze, if there were no Obama your candidate would still lose. I find it so comical the power you McCain supporters have placed into my hands, thankfully power does not go to my head.

rstufflebeem · October 25, 2008, 9:05pm

How many times do I need to say it Joey? McCain is not my candidate nor is Obama yours! Get over it!

swaskewicz · October 25, 2008, 9:11pm

Power has already gone to your head Joe, just not for the betterment of the country by supporting Obama.

McCain/Palin ticket is not the perfect solution to all our problems, but the Obama/Biden platform certainly does us no better good for the future.

jburkeson1 · October 25, 2008, 9:22pm

Thankfully we both live here in America where we can disagree, I believe Obama will do great things for America and have already voted accordingly, you might want to seek out someone who hasn’t taken advantage of early voting with your message.
