    First I don't believe there's any country thats run by a poor person. Money runs pretty much everything. And if you got it, it seems to make more for you. We live in a capitalistic society.

    So true Snaf, so true. It's the same in the UK - probably every country.

    The man is full of ****. The best thing we can do is at least partially privatize social security. No corporation forces me to give them a large percentage of my paycheck.

    Well, I guess it was entertaining, I hope everyone knows this is a comedian who must exagerate things to make a show that attracts an aduience, nothing more.



    While many big names do contribute to politics and such, more manipulation is going on from outside our borders then inside.


    Many years ago, when Bill Clinton wanted to be president, the Chineese were behind the times, way behind in thigs like missle technology for example. During that time, there were a lot of scandles involving campaign contributions and foreign Chineese people. After 8 years of Clinton, China makes up the technology gap and their technology is almost identical to our own, and again, Hillary has had several scandles with getting money from Chineese people.


    Who owns America?



    I think the Liberals are still holding it up for auction, we need to wait and see who bids the highest, but my prediction is China, if the American people are stupid enough to elect another Clinton into office.

    Actually, Hillary is the most conservative of the potential Democratic Party nominees. That's why she took an asswhipping in Iowa among liberal caucus goers.

    Well then I don't see her having much of a chance in New Hampshire either then.

    Not really, but she must "look" like she is the most conservative because she would never get elected if she showed her true colors.

    You need to look back at her entire history to understand her. One of her ideas is to force Universities to lower the price of education, force the price of homes to be lowered, etc....

    Now how does that happen?

    Giving every kid born in America 5,000 dollars, unified health care, clearly she is just as radical, if not worse than the rest, liberals are run by the wackos, the real shame is, I believe that the majority of liberals are very centered, but their too scared of the party leaders to voice their true opinions.

    All the ones I know actually talk like they believe the crap they hear... Maybe, if you repeat "Socialized medicine is a good thing" enough times, it starts to sound true?

    Perhaps if you hear anything repeated enough it becomes true...Like money makes people better than other people and is the end all be all of "success" no matter how many people one needs to step on to get it and only the worthy/wealthy deserve health care..

    Lot's of the hardest working people in our country can't afford and don't have health care.. Not cool.

    Most decent jobs offer some kind of health care benefits.

    If your only desire is to work at Burger King, then no, you won't get any benefits.


    Remember, even the poor get free health care from the government.



    The hardest working people in america would tend to be the illegals, so yes, not cool.

    Since burger King, Mc Donalds, Walmart, etc. are the jobs being created and these companies are the largest, most profitable in the world, that's f*cked up..

    So do the rich, government health care is the best in the world..




    Blame them, not the companies that hire them, driving down your and my wages and possible opportunities at a job with health care..

    Obama and Edwards are even worse. The trangulation strategy kept Bill relatively moderate after 1994.

    I tend to agree with this. I know this doesnt sound to conservative but I think we do need a comprehensive heath system to encompass all of America.

    eddo I don't like you.

    Not to nitpick, but I think that McDonald's offers excellent health benifits to it's full time employee's. I have a cousin that works in the maintenance dept (he goes around fixing a/c units, freezers, stoves, etc.) for McDonald's and he gets excellent health care. That may be a different group or something, I'm not sure how the company is laid out, but I know McDonald's takes very good care of him.

    I think so too.. They are a good, well run company. I hope all full time employees get it..

    McCain taking New Hampshire too. Ohh man..;)

    I hate to say it but I kinda would rather Obama take the Democratic nominee. looks like he's plugging along also.
