I am a swing voter, neither Republican nor Democrat. I supported President Bush in his response to September 11 and I supported the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. But I like John Kerry's message about the need to do something about the people in this country who have no health insurance. It's a hard choice.
But then they can have all the well-fare, free health care and heroin needles they want!
Viva La Socialism!
Pardon me while I go vomit.
The choice isn't really that hard. John Kerry is saying what you want to hear so he can win your vote. Will he deliver on his promise? Not likely.
There is a balance of powers in this country and the President does not make laws. Even if Kerry wins the Presidency, his party won't have control of the Congress.
What you have to be afraid of is the control of Presidency on Foreign Policy and the Judiciary. If John Kerry is elected he is going to overhaul our foreign policy tying ours more directly to the United Nations, and that will compromise our security in regards to taking care of threats before they materialize. If John Kerry is elected, he'll nominate judges to the Supreme Court who knowingly and willingly use judicial power to "make" laws.
The damage John Kerry, as President, can do to our nation is pretty significant, and it is only balanced by the Republican presence in the Congress.
On the other hand, George Bush knows about the health care lapse, and John Kerry and John Edwards both blocked Bush's attempt to begin to reform our health care liability system, which contributes to the high cost of health care and health care insurace. And then to say these people don't have access to health care is incorrect. Not only are there publicly funded clinics for people without health care, but emergency rooms are required to treat patients, regardless of their ability to pay.
The Democrats are playing fast and loose with statistics, with the truth, and with your emotions. Check the facts behind everything a political campaign tells you, regardless of the Party affiliation. But especially check the facts behind the claims of the political party you like.
Golly, what can I say? I guess a swing voter should never venture into this forum. I came here in good faith and was called a socialist and a communist and a troll. Thanks a lot guys. I just wanted to talk.
Because it is NOT "obvious";it's a line trolls use.
There were some serious answers in there.
Why bring Nimrod into this. Seems to me he was a perfectly benign lesser god (and not a bad patrol aircraft)--not a moron democRAT.
good article...
hehehehehehehehehehe
He/She "likes John Kerry's message".
I'd say He/She is a Democrat plant.
It a' an hilarioso comment, no?(!)
It a' one a da funniest on a' dis "ZOT" tread, no?
Ima so sad, Ima go look ata my buttafly collecion.
(Weeping.)
LOL
Trial lawyers and lawsuits are driving doctors out of the business.Fewer providers and more customers means higher prices
Government mandates and regulations that make the insurance more expensive. A single guy is not going to need coverage for a hysterectomy. But government mandated it be covered and he has no choice. $$$$$ Its expensive to cover everything and without choices a lot of peiople choose to do without.
John Kerry wants more lawsuits, more mandates and more regulations
Kerry is BAD medicine.
Disclaimer: I haven't read all the replies so maybe you've already touched on this.
What is John Kerry's message about doing something about people who have no health insurance?
I haven't had health insurance for years - and you will NEVER hear me whining about how the government should provide it for me. I know you're just trolling...that's okay, have your fun. But please check Kerry's voting record in the Senate - that is, when he bothered to show up and vote.
America is it! There is no other and if we loose it, there will be no other. Go to Switzerland, Norway, Canada, France, you name it, and get your utopia, but leave me alone!
Canada speaks English in most places and you get the nirvana of socialised meds. It's beautiful country! Just don't go if you have anything tougher than the flu. They cross the border for that stuff. If you need heart surgery, good luck. An MRI? Maybe in a couple of months after you drive to another province. I think they have single digit MRI's in Canada, like 5-6. If I wanted socialism, I could throw a dart at the globe and go there. This is all I have to live for is America.
Swing voter, my.... foot. The only place you don't swing is in the voting booth punching those "D"s.
LOL. Kerrys' plan is to do something about people who have health insurance. Thats it, thats the entire plan.
