    I know of a Doctor..actually an affiliate if doctors that offer a "Gold" or Platinum membership service to their customers. They do house calls, they are on call 24 hours a day they take care of their customers. Do people make it a priority to have this service instead of having 4 jet skis, motorcycles, huge car payments etc? Yeah, some do. Some would rather not. That's ok too.

    I don't know of too many Americans going overseas to get the best in health care. I do know of a lot of stories of people coming here for the best healthcare. Chris you might be liberal on a lot of things, but I think if you thought about this a little more, you would probably change your mind. Should your taxes go towards paying for health care for Bill Gates? How about Oprah?

    Do you really think that Oprah is going to go through the bureaucracy to get a life threatening surgery she desperately needs? It all sounds good that everybody should have healthcare, but in practicality it makes no sense. I would be pissed to have to pay for Oprah's healthcare. Why doesn't Oprah just pay for everybody's healthcare? I mean, she has a lot of money, she doesn't deserve all that money, there are people that work just as hard as her right?

    As much as I would hate it, I would defend Oprah's right to do with her money whatever she sees fit.

    Instead of saying "we gotta pay taxes anyway" lets say.... Lower our taxes substantially so I can get my own health insurance. It's not their money, it's our money.

    I was there 4 weeks ago and my opinion of the place is exactly what Chris says....that place is an absolute waste. Yeah, some of the history is cool, but it seems that everybody there is in some kind of a daze and they aimlessly wonder the streets. It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen in my life.

    I made the comment to my wife when I got home from that dump that I can't understand how people could have such meaningless lives. I'm kind of a high stung person and need to be doing something all the time. The people there (don't mean to make a blanket statement like this because I know there are honest hard working people there) just walk the streets and have nothing to live for. It's strange.

    Don't even get me started about Bourbon Street....

    Ha Ha seriously that was a childish reply, I guess I should say no shes not you are. lol She ran Alaska man. She probably ran against a polar bear and a seal. Obviously the bear ate the seal and she supports the anwr drilling so the bear said f*#k it Im outta here. lol.

    and you say my post was childish? :deal:

    You tell me exactly what Nobama did in his 140 days of vast experience in the Senate that qualifies him to be the leader of the greatest country in the world. There is a reason that governors usually become presidents instead of senators. Governors actually have responsibilities.

    Jeff.... to answer your question about healthcare... (You may not like this) I don't think the gov't has any place in healthcare. I don't remember reading anything about them controlling healthcare in the constitution.

    I think the market would control itself with competition and prices if the gov't would just get out of the way. Just like it does in every other industry.

    I don't know if you know this, but there is a cure to cancer, AIDS and every other blood related disease out there. The cure is forbidden to talk about because of the gov't and anybody that is caught giving this cure to somebody would be arrested. There is no money in the cure, therefore it's not widely known and very suppressed. There are thousands of documented cases and was proven to work 100% of the time. By the way, an evil Christian scientist invented the little $20 device to do this.

    Anyway, my point is the gov't has no business in healthcare. That's my answer.

    I believe that the whole separation thing was directed towards Jefferson when he was a governor and they asked him if he would "make" his states religion the nations if elected. There is no seperation of Church and State.

    The first schools here were church schools and the first text books were Bibles. Just look at the history of the oldest schools in the country. You might be suprised.

    THought this story was quite interesting...I just may have to move to Texas.

    Texas to teachers: Bible will be taught

    Why a younger woman? Because all other things being equal, a younger (conservative) woman will garner the support of those who wouldn't necessarily support McCain by himself.

    I have to say, I'm in that group. I was not looking forward to this election at all. Notice my avatar. Now, I'm a little excited about it. I won't just be voting against Nobama anymore, I'll actually be voting for the old guy and Vise President Palin.

    Well, in an attempt to get this thread back on topic moderators eh hemm...

    I think McCain made a good choice. He will not be able to use the "no experience" thing about Nobama, but people didn't seem to care anyway. Gov Palin stands for conservatism and that is what most conservatives were missing about McCain. McCain is a little too liberal for my taste, but maybe she will nag him into shape like most women do :D Just kiddin

    Plus, she is very good looking for a 44 year old. She has a son in the Army so she puts her money where her mouth is also. She's for drilling in ANWR and realizes that it will not hurt the spotted turtle. She is staunchly pro-LIFE which any good Bible thumper like myself can appreciate. Today is her 20th anniversary with the same husband which is rare nowadays and I am pretty sure that the husband is a MALE.

    The more I read and hear about this lady, the more I like.

    Any person is going to be better than the Team of DUMB @ DUMMER (Bush/ Chenny). The World hates us, the Oil crisis , Mortgage crisis, Katrina crisis, Perscrip Drug crisis , Gas crisis, Health care crisis, American Dollar crisis, Middle East crisis

    This is the kind of stuff that I hear from liberals everyday. (Not trying to pick on you James) This is their outlook on our great nation. Is this what you want to vote for? It's always complaints, never solutions...oh wait, I do remember a couple of solutions.

    The World hates us - So lets give them money, food, clean water and talk with the poor terrorists.

    Oil Crisis - Lets all ride around on bicycles and protect the spotted turtles, instead of drilling for our own oil.

    Mortgage crises - Lets give more loans to the underprivileged even though they don't deserve it or have any way to pay it back.

    Katrina - yeah, the gov't should rebuild every single persons house that was destroyed by a natural disaster that happens every freakin year!!! Oh wait, I forgot, Bush snorkeled down and blew up the levy himself. I'm not sure what kind of people stand on their porches screaming for the gov't to come get them when they have 2 legs, but I assure you, they are not hard working folk!

    Prescription Drugs - Free Health Care for everybody...woohoo. Nothing like the DMV running heathcare.

    Gas crisis - See above. Also, lets have the gov't MAKE everybody drive around in an unsafe tin box, but hey, it gets 30 mpg.

    Health Care - See above. Hilary has our answer to that.

    American Dollar crisis - I'm not sure what the Dems solution for this one is.

    Middle East Crisis - Lets sit down with the poor little terrorists and discuss why they want to obliterate western society. After that, we'll have tea and strumpets.... or roach legs or whatever the freakin dirty bassturds eat.

    Oh yeah so called 'Tax & Spend' Democrats - should be changed over to Tax & Spend Republicans - they have increased spending far more than any previous presidency in history.

    It's kinda funny.... We heard for years how Bush was cutting all of these "needed" programs like education and taking care of poor people and raiding the social security for old people..how horrible he was for taking all of their money. Now you're telling me that he is spending more than any other president? Make up your mind dude...

    I don't agree with all of the money he has spent, but I would probably disagree with you as to where he should be spending it. Foreign Aid is one of them. These countries that make policies against America, should have NO foreign aid. Screw them.

    Bail outs- I don't think the gov't should be bailing out private companies for their stupidity. Sub-prime lender bailout really chapped my butt. Give loans to a bunch of welfare recipients that have no credit because of their bad choices and guess what? You're gonna have problems.

    Without writing a book here, I will just say that Bush has spent a lot of money and this is one of the problems that I have with his second term. He compromised with liberals and spent WAY too much money.

    Things to think about before you vote:

    • banks are failing - closing their doors - What's so bad about that?
    • inflation is at a 27 year high - The Market adjusts itself
    • foreclosures are WAY up - Because people spent way over their heads and rely on gov't to get them out.
    • real estate values are down - See above
    • the market is off - what does YOUR 401K look like?!?!?! - Where was the market before Dems took over Congress?
    • gas is through the roof - Where was it before Dems took over Congress?
    • food is increasing also - Because gas is "high"
    • tourism is OFF - See above post
    • retail outlets and small businesses are closing (some larger ones are shutting stores too - Starbucks shut 600) Competition maybe? Plus Starbucks coffee sucks and it's finally catching up to them..hahah

    I am willing to bet that on Black Friday (day after Thanksgiving) the retailers are WAY down. In fact I'll bet this holiday shopping season is going to be horrible.

    Food for thought.

    Beth

    Some more things to think about before you vote: The Democrats have blocked every attempt to rid ourselves from foreign oil thus high gas prices (which is causing the price of everything to rise). If Dems were so concerned about the American people then why do they choose to not have the option of drilling for our own oil?

    Something else to think about: American has been 100% Al-Qaida free since 2001 with a republican in office. Lots of people seem to have forgotten that we were attacked 7 years ago and we are just fighting some silly war "over there" spending all of our precious money and running up the debt. I would rather be alive speaking English and have a debt to pay off than speaking Farsi or dead.

    Rod....my dad was out of work for that time that Mr. Clinton shut down the gov't. Under President Bush unemployment numbers were lower than they were with Clinton nearly his entire term. The economy was better than it has ever been under President Bush's term especially given that WE WERE ATTACKED and had to go fight a war!!!

    Jeff... Bush did too much compromising his second term and that is why a BUNCH of conservatives like myself have been unhappy with him. Amnesty for illegals isn't a compromise? C'mon dude.

    I haven't read of anybody in this thread, nor do I know anybody personally that would not vote for Nobama because of his skin color. That is a very weak argument and it's always thrown in there by liberals. Here is one Black man that I would vote for in a heartbeat if he ever ran. I'm pretty sure that there are more minorities in positions of real authority under the Bush administration than there were under the Clinton admin. We conservatives often get labeled racists when the fact is we choose people that are the best for the job no matter what the ethnicity, not ones that are there to be a trophy.

    If Nobama is so into change, why doesn't he come up with some ideas of his own. Everything he says is a repeat of some other hack before him.

    Ah, I see...so you are saying that we need to show up in person to see boobies, right?

    just messin with you Ron. I think it's cool to have those RT's on the internet. I just wonder if it will make peeps stay at home though if they can just get all the info by setting at home and watching? Kinda like going to a pro football game. I hate dealing with the traffic and all the drunks, so I stay at home and watch them on TV.

    Biden is the epitome of liberalism. He is better and smarter than us stupid regular Americans. I think it's a great ticket for another liberal loss. Can't wait.

    Do you guys remember when Clinton was in office and they had Scott Ritter up testifying before congress and Biden was ripping him a new one because he (Biden) wanted to go get Saddam because he was such a threat to us? Ritter was saying things that Dems didn't want to hear. Oh, how we forget how these liberals were for the war before they were against it....hahaha...spineless idiots!!!
