    Health insurance =/ health care. As for "talking points", Obama said "spread the wealth", not me.

    What choices did people make instead of having health insurance? Do people go untreated or do hospitals just get go unpaid?

    Again, what choices do the elderly make instead of paying for their medicine? If you're sick, it's not unreasonable to ask people to lower their standard of living to pay for getting better.

    Hmmm, who broke it? Will more money solve the problem?

    Who owns the oil companies? Answer: pretty much anyone who has a 401k. Also, when they post losses, should we be outraged as well? Their profits are a percentage of their raw materials. When the price of oil increases, their profit increases. If you have a beef with oil company profits, talk to OPEC.

    Yes, war sucks. What's your exit strategy?

    Americans have a higher standard of living now than at any other time in history. Even the poorest among us have heat, electricity, television and microwave ovens.

    How is he going to fix it?

    So, Democrats aren't Progressives, they're Regressives?

    Do you want to know the real issue with Bush economics (aka the economics of compassionate conservatism)? Government became too big. The real answer to changing Bushonomics is to reduce the size and scope of government. Obama is just another level of Bushonomics with higher taxes.

    You only just realized?

    Of course, in four years, you will be an Obama supporter too. Or else, you'll be in jail. :)

    Yep. Republicans want to go back to the 50s, Democrats want to go back to the 60s.

    Democrats want to go back to when they opposed the Civil Rights Act, with Al Gore's dad leading the way?

    Interesting...

    And felt proud to do so. It's what made America work.

    These Republicans today are a bunch of pampered, whining sissies, who don't care about their neighbors and fellow Americans at all.

    It's all "I, I, ME, ME, MINE!"

    Treasonous, IMO.

    Or dead. That's what they have to do to people who disagree with them.

    Nah, the socialists just take capitalists out in the woods, shoot them, and bury them in mass graves.

    Probably 100M combined for Russia and China.

    Those were evil ones. Obama will just jail you until it becomes impossible. Executions come as last resort.
