		<description>Facts on the McCain Health Care Plan==
Barack Obama And Joe Biden Have Consistently Lied To Americans About John McCain&#039;s Plan. Their claims have failed every fact-check – from CBS to the Washington Post. John McCain is not going to raise taxes on middle class families. Barack Obama and Joe Biden are the only ones in this race that plan to raise taxes.

Transforming The Tax Code To Create Greater Equity: The McCain plan transforms the current tax code to provide all American families – including the self-employed and the uninsured – the same tax benefit, a $5,000 refundable tax credit ($2,500 for individuals) that was previously only available to those with employer coverage. Families can use this credit to purchase insurance of their choice, including keeping their current coverage. This is an approach supported by Barack Obama&#039;s own Senior Economic Advisor Jason Furman who wrote that &quot;we could scrap the current deduction altogether and replace it with progressive tax credits that, together with other changes, would ensure that every American has affordable health insurance.&quot;

Better Than &quot;Members of Congress&quot;: Under the McCain Plan, your employer can provide you with health insurance as good as a &quot;Member of Congress&quot;, and you would pay no more in taxes – regardless of your tax bracket. In fact, you would have some additional money left over from the McCain tax credit to put in a health savings account.

On The Issue Of Congressional Plan – There Are Options, But All Are Under The FEHB Program: A good example is the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Service Benefit Plan, which has combined monthly premiums for family coverage of $1027.95, for an annual cost of $12,335.40.</description>

		<description>I don’t know if there is a line you can’t cross in American politics. But this is it. McCain is betraying his own country. I never liked his policies much. But I know that is the foundation of democracy - not agreeing. Right now I am starting to despise the man and everything he stands for. He is a greedy bastard. With no honor. No decency. He is an unAmerican unpatriotic pig. And no matter how much lipstick he wears. You can’t hide your true self for ever. We can see who he is. Unpatriotic and UnAmerican.

McCain, what you said is not American. What you said is not patriotic. What you said is not in the interest of America. What you said is a lie sold to all Americans. What you said is about your own greed. What you said is fearmongering. What is said was unethical. What you said is without honor. What you said is the type of thing the enemies of this great country and real terrorists will say.

		<description>They&#039;re stealing the election now. If Obama is installed, however, it will be because he did his bit by passing the Big Heist. 

One thing you can count on---the neocons won&#039;t change. Having no conscience is a physiological condition that cannot be altered or willed away. At least the left might learn to stop trying to appeal to a conscience that isn&#039;t there.</description>

		<description>Today we live in era where everything is a gamble and gambling often brings losers , Gambling with investors money caused a melt down in our financial entities . The GOP is loaded with gamblers and gambling with our our security or our financial condition is of less concern to them than being able to be in a position to continue gambling . Their VP selection is a gamble and with their media and voting machine control they know they can divide the electorate enough to win legally or illegally . Our congress just handed the gamblers $700 billion to continue gambling without any rule changes . SO it is business as usual and by the time the next admin takes over that money will be blowing in the wind and our treasury will have not enough funds to operate , which means massive cuts in something the electorate will not like .</description>

		<description>What are our options if Nov. 5 the election was again obvious stolen?

1.  We can sit here another 4 years typing complaints on our computer.

2.  We can take to the streets in anger risking harm, loss of property and destruction.

3. &lt;strong&gt; We can now all agree to meet peacefully at a capital building or nearest federal building @ noon in masses showing support for a recount and carry signs in protest and asking the world to help.&lt;/strong&gt;

#3 was from a caller, a professor of social science, on Thom Hartman&#039;s show.  She is right.. we need to prepare now.</description>

		<description>Guido the Loving OBGYN Says: 
But I must say, an American soldier shooting at Americans on American soil will end the Union.
``````````````````````````````````````````````
Guido I hear you but haven&#039;t you heard...a couple of months ago the US &amp; Canada signed an agreement where one country can use the other countries military in times of natural disasters, civil unrest etc, etc.

And of course there is always UN forces or BlackwaterUSA type merceneries who could be used. If America wants to protest they should protest on April 15th by not paying their taxes.

Are we being represented by our government? What would they do if one million Americans refused to pay taxes on April 15th and held a protest noting this?

		<description>&lt;em&gt;A caller on Thom Hartman mentioned one thing we could do is protest peacefully in huge masses… maybe carry signs asking the world for help.&lt;/em&gt;
Were that to happen would the media cover it?
Think of the massive war protest marches that were barely covered, and when they were covered, the crowds were vastly underreported.
An army brigade recently back from Iraq has been given the mission of crowd control on domestic soil. What do you think that&#039;s for?

This cabal of criminals can and will attempt to steal this election - and they may succeed despite record turnouts; voter disenfranchisement is one of their hallmarks.
Corrupt machinery; poorly trained judges; and discouraging misinformation deliberately told to potential voters are common tactics.

Perhaps if we turn out in heretofore unmatched numbers, we can prevent a theft, but don&#039;t count on it.  Be vigilant; do your part. 
They are practiced criminals - do not trust them.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not to worried. Even Redstate has pretty much given up
on a mccain/palin win. They really don&#039;t care for mccain and
palin has not impressed them. Also there is a sleeping giant
of unpoled democrats with cell phones (no land line). 62% dems VS 28% rep that are not being polled.</description>

		<description>The real reason &quot;conservatives&quot; going to blow up is because, like in their defense of Bush (who&#039;s only redeeming value is the &quot;R&quot; next to his name) they are forced to defend the words and actions of an idiot.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Guido the Loving OBGYN Says: 
had enough you need to relax. The thing to remember is the Democratic party did not fight for Florida. If the Democrats aren’t willing to defend their own candidates in elections then it really is pointless to protest. I’m not particularly interested in getting shot for the Democrats, either. But I must say, an American soldier shooting at Americans on American soil will end the Union.&lt;/em&gt;

You shoulda mentioned the Dems did not fight for Ohio or any other state in 2004, either  Exit polls in Ohio said Kerry won by 4.2%.  Official version was Bush won by 2.5%.  It is not possible to have that large a difference.  Yes, I heard the one about &quot;shy Republicans&quot; and it&#039;s a lie.  Kerry won the entire nation by 3 million.  Gore won Florida by 300,000.  The REPUBLICAN computer expert said Ohio was stolen in 2004.  Read about it at BradBlog.

Gahanna, Ohio-Ward 1-B had 638 total voters.  Bush got 4,258 votes!  That&#039;s only one example out of a thousand.

That they did not try to steal 2006 is also a myth.  Exit polls said Dems won by 11.5%.  Official version is they only won by 7.6%.

As for last part, I remember the Ohio National Guard killing four innocent people at Kent State, which was on American soil.</description>
