It is important to draw a distinction between great substance... and great presentation. Obama's presentation was extremely strong. However, on substance, he was weak. He was a used car salesman, selling people on sexy features of his plan, while ignoring the anemic engine underneath.
Health care is *not* a right; good government IS a right. Important note: home mortgages as a "right" gave us the current economic disaster. Socialized medicine, or socialized ANYTHING, has not been successful anywhere else in the world, so why should it work here?
Government is not the solution --government is the problem. You stimulate economies by getting out of the way and letting them work, not by taxing and spending.

I haven't heard to many "Democrats" whom think they have a right to "free" health care. That's another of the myth's you right wingers make up. What I've heard most people say is they want "affordable" health insurance that doesn't drop them soon as they get sick.
Obama has never said he will give us "free" health care.. he said he wants to make it affordable and stop the insurance companies from dropping people soon as they get sick.
In short the majority of the people in this country wants the govt to do it's job and stick up for the little guy. That is the basic reason to have a govt and that's to serve & protect the citizens of it's country.
Making sure insurance companies don't take advantage of the "Average Joe" is the job of govt. That's not socialism, that's serving the citizens of this country.
Please tell me Halbucks.. tell me what you think McCain will do that is so great. Give me some examples of what he is going to do that is so good for this country. I've yet to hear him tell me anything he is "actually" going to do.
Other than the same old scripted responses of cutting 100's of billions of dollars from the budget. While giving big business billions of dollars in tax cuts. I guess that means he plans to pay for everything with Chinese loans because he sure as hell hasn't told us how he plans to make all these tax cuts then pay off the national debit in 4 years.. lol like he claims.
