"A study coming out Tuesday from scholars at Columbia, Harvard, Purdue and Michigan projects that 20 million Americans who have employment-based health insurance would lose it under the McCain plan."

McCain is swimming in the opposite direction. Electing him would be a mistake.

It is really getting old, this FLAG pin nonsense, and the not putting his hand over his heart during the pledge, for heavens sake, it was during the national anthem that he didn't have it there. Furthermore, that stupid picture shown all the time, if they were saying the pledge, why were they not FACING the flag. I've read quite enough nonsense.


Further still, didn't he denounce what Rev Wright said? Sheesh! thank God for Mennonites, they don't salute the flag or wear flag pins, and they love this Country and GOD more than a FLAG!

His pastor also screamed that the U.S. Government infected blacks with HIV and gave them drugs?

His pastor is a wack job, but that doesn't make him one. Is he STILL attending that same church? Is Rev. Wright still there at Obama's PRESENT Church? If not, lets drop this stupid nonsense.

"Honestly, I don't believe that. Here in the US, you will wait to see an GYN usually 6-9 months for a routine check-up. "


Honestly, I don't believe that, do you have a source for that statistic?

Alicia, it's not a statistic, it's where I used to go to the Dr. My OB/Gyn at. I haven't been to that group in over 10 years. I go to my Family physician. When they said I'd have to wait that long, I did the one time, then after that, I said forget it. But if it's a non emergency visit, nothing pressing like post menepausal bleeding,ect, you have to wait. Maybe other Dr. could get you in within 4-6 weeks, they will call if theyd have a cancellation. It's not that easy everywhere as you said you have it easy. My Family Dr. I can usually get in that day or the next.

My problem with Obama is that he attended this church for 20 years.
