		<description>61 years old single, Blue Cross Blue Shield costs 
$450.00 a month ($5,400.00 a year) and that&#039;s with 
a $2,600.00 deductible. My brother and his wife pay
$950.00 per month $11,400.00 a year. McCain said tax 
credit of $5,000.00 per family.No help for me. 

McCain is completely out of touch, his wife is worth
over 110 million dollars his worth is est. at 40 million.

Just some info. the mayor of New York takes for his years
salary $1.00 Governor of NJ also takes $1.00 a year.
yes, that&#039;s right they both received a check for only one dollar per year as their salary.

McCain, receives senate salary $161.708 - social security $23,570 Navy Pension $58.358.00 he said he donates to charity
but, how knows, he tells so many lies.

Well, McCain&#039;s health care plan stinks in my opinion</description>

		<description>Ahhh, yes.  McIIIrd&#039;s solution - the market.  The market controlled by the health insurance companies.  Companies that force healthcare providers to spend untold hours trying figure out if a procedure is billable.  Forcing healthcare staff to spend untold time and dollars arguing with insurance companies when these companies refuse to pay for a billable procedure or test.  Companies that waste untold billions of dollars on paperwork (GAO estimates 20% of each healthcare premium goes to policy admin costs).</description>

		<description>Let&#039;s see, the news so far is that there will be no grand jury for Gonzo. (Mukasey = toady)
There will be a shotgun wedding for Bristol Palin before the election. (the kid said he didn&#039;t want kids -- likes to party)
Thirty large evangelical churches have defied the IRS and brazenly gave sermons yesterday instructing their flock to vote against Obama. (IRS:  tax their income and their property)
Churches are now falsely claiming that the antichrist will be in his forties and be a muslim -- therefore Obama is the antichrist.  (braindead believers will swallow it)
Expectations for Palin are so low for Thursday that if she shows up and speaks, she will be declared a surprising winner.
The McCain camp states that now their campaign will get down and dirty.  (like they weren&#039;t so before?)</description>

		<description>Fact is John McCain could not by himself insurance in the private market with his health conditions.

Insurance companies would not cover such a risk.   John&#039;s plan is to take from the poor and give to the poorest.

If Mccain thinks this way about heath coverage, then let him lead the way and give up his tax payer paid health coverage.

Tax payers can give McCain and Lindsy Graham $100 a year and they can &quot;chip&quot; in the rest for their coverage.

Historical fact, from the day McCain was born on tax payer money, he lived his entire life on tax payer&#039;s money.   Why doesn&#039;t John go out and get one of those great republican private sector jobs?   Johnny might find out he is not that knowledgable to suvive the private sector let alone being popular with the private sector once he is not a Senator anymore.</description>

Although I don&#039;t like Sen. Obama&#039;s stance on killing bin Laden and his gang. Capture and tried is better. Killing without a trial is wrong. Especially based on chimpy&#039;s information. Also I feel a war is not needed to capture terrorist. I prefer covert operations.

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Another Joe Says:

had enough - I don’t share your optimism on this one, but we will see. He sold us out on FISA. I won’t judge him on bailout yet, but this is not really looking good.
He has not made any real statements that they would hold the criminals in this administration accountable, though I can understand not saying much now.&lt;/em&gt;


Obama is careful of his statements and he did state back in April:

&lt;a href=&quot;http://http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/attytood/Barack_on_torture.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Obama said that as president he would indeed ask his new Attorney General and his deputies to &quot;immediately review the information that&#039;s already there&quot; and determine if an inquiry is warranted -- but he also tread carefully on the issue, in line with his reputation for seeking to bridge the partisan divide. He worried that such a probe could be spun as &quot;a partisan witch hunt.&quot; However, he said that equation changes if there was willful criminality, because &quot;nobody is above the law.&quot;&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>After taking note of the Sept. 12th date, I see it didn&#039;t backfire.

Is UPI a legit site?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;ABC News Hid Important Parts of Palin Interview

It won&#039;t come as a surprise to LGF readers, but Charlie Gibson&#039;s interview with Sarah Palin was heavily edited by ABC News to make Palin appear more hawkish and less knowledgeable. Mark Levin has the complete transcript, and what ABC News tried to pull here is a textbook example of media malfeasance: Gibson Interview.

Also see: ABC News Edited Out Key Parts of Sarah Palin Interview.

The interview was so egregiously biased, even UPI is calling out ABC News for their blatant double standards: ABC&#039;s Gibson grilled Palin hard, but it may backfire.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Apparently we can’t have universal health care because that would be too much like socialism.&lt;/em&gt;

But even the dems are doing what they can to bail out the banks on our dime - socialism for the rich and they tell us its necessary.  Reports are that pelosi has dropped any help for homeowners because it would be a &quot;deal breaker&quot;.

Both the dems and repugs say we can bail out the banks and their CEOs, but can&#039;t help Americans all have access to basic health care.</description>

		<description>had enough - I don&#039;t share your optimism on this one, but we will see.  He sold us out on FISA.  I won&#039;t judge him on bailout yet, but this is not really looking good.

His healthcare plan just gives insurance companies and providers subsidies and does not provide universal coverage.

He has not made any real statements that they would hold the criminals in this administration accountable, though I can understand not saying much now.

But I wouldn&#039;t assume we will see any action either.</description>
