Walmart is starting to offer some basic medical care at some of their stores.

Walmart will end up doing more for health care than Congress, just like they did with the $4 generic prescriptions.

Turn health care over to Walmart and everyone benefits.

[grin]

Just where did the Drive by Media get the audience for this clown act?

Tough to say, but according to another poster (George W. Bush)...

the word is that Ron Paul's supporters are outnumbering the opponents 20-1

George W. Bush, if you wouldn't mind following up on this, we'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Giuliani wants health savings and tax deductions, etc.

[We don’t need MORE complication, Rudy! That only ADDS to the cost.]

“milquetoast leadership in the Oval Office.]”

Really a mornic statement about the President responsible for more dead terrorists then all the bellicose macho boy Net warriors EVER will be.

Maybe the Know Nothings ONE time might giving their bigoted mindless Bush hate a rest and try actually LEARNING somethings about Iraq.

Russians followed you arm chair warriors “kill them all” dogmas in Afganistan. How that work out for them?

Counter Insurgency is not Total War. Difference has been explained a few thousand times to you stupid Know Nothings. Instead of mindlessly clinging to dogma screamed at you by never been anything Talk Radio hosts, GROW UP.

The real world is not a Hollweird action movie. Something it is wasy past time you arm chair Rambos learned.

Sure. The RP supporters were huge at the pre-debate rally. But the applause levels for other candidates have been as strong as those for Ron Paul. So ABC didn't pack the place with RP supporters from what we can see. Every candidate is getting some decent applause lines, I think.

Debates at this stage are like NFL pre season games. Too many players on the field you know won’t be there when the real games start.

To me, it's more like a training camp scrimmage when they're not even in full pads yet. But I still liked the comparison. :)

Too bad we can’t call some of them into our office and tell them to bring their playbook.

Typical namecalling personal attacks, MN.

You still can’t respond to others without having to rely on such tactics. You need to quit reading the Clinton books on politics of personal destruction and scorched earth.

Debate the issues instead of attacking those raising the issues. When you rely on personal attacks, that is an admission that you can’t defend your position.

You are a man ahead of your time Johnnie. Lighten up. Not everyone is visonary. That's the way God made it.

Take a vacation and let it be.
