    Here's what I don't like about Obama's health plan:

    "If you already have health coverage, you can keep yours ..."

    Well, thanks. I get mine through my company. You think my company is going to continue to pay for health benefits when the government is giving it away for free?

    Uh, no. They are going to see it as a prime way to cut costs, and out it goes.

    So I'm going to end up with some crappy government plan wherein I get to wait in line for six days in order to get my massive head wound sewn up. But, hey, it's free!

    And yes comrade, you will get your head wound sewn up at the People's Hospital, by a Dr. that went to the People's college, who makes just as much as the janitor in the People's hospital.

    Socialism doesn't work, as the saying goes "it spreads misery equally".

    Kids spread all sorts of Socialist/Communist propaganda at my school. Have they no idea that it doesn't work? I know we got our problems with our government, but our system is still better then anything socialist.

    Can any name me a TRUE socialist Government that works? Big Government is a bad idea no matter how you cut it.

    But thats my 2 cents...not worth much.

    Watching people's heads getting cut off on Youtube will make you ill as well. Maybe they will stop if we give them a big hug?

    McCain saying he stood up to Reagan about Lebanon where we lost 300 only highlights that he DIDN'T stand up to Bush on Iraq where we've lost close to 5,000 (not to mention the 1M Iraqis)

    You do realise that "The United States is the only wealthy, industrialized nation that does not have a universal health care system" right? The US is waaaaaaay behind the curve on this. The benefits far out-weigh the cons and guess what, these systems do work.

    I feel McCain is doing much better than Obama.
    I pledge to you a government that will not only work well, but wisely, its ability to act tempered by prudence, and its willingness to do good, balanced by the knowledge that government is never more dangerous than when our desire to have it help us blinds us to its great power to harm us.

    "The same strategy that worked in Iraq: get the support of the people"? What Iraq is McCain watching? Oh, i think speak softly and carry a big stick has nothing to do with the support of the invaded. I'm pretty sure that means you don't say anything and then destroy your opponents.

    This is the same as the first debate. If you really liked either candidate coming in, you felt they won.

    Otherwise, you were left feeling cold and indifferent.
