Quoting libralady: Quoting teaschip1:
Why not, Oprah endorsed him and just look at his successful 2 year track record.. 
Hillary? God help us.....  |
Tell us what they stand for, hopefully nothing like Bush - waiting.................... |
Obama, has no experience with foreign policy. He has even agreed to pulling men out of Iraq and invading Iran and going into Pakistan. Just what we need, two more countries to invade.
Hillary, she is just plain evil. She wants to socialize healthcare, brilliant but costly. Who the hell do you think is going to pay for it. You got it, the tax payers.. She has done absoultely nothing as a Senator for New York but wants to be our President. Not to mention her flip flop on many issues, including the Iraq war.
Ron Paul, I agree with most of his views except his stance on the UN and War Reparations..
My Pick McCain...
Experienced with Foreign Policy and National Security..Has been an active member of the Armed Services Committee since 1987. Experienced with Military Affairs..The only Republican I'm aware that has consistently supported cutting taxes and decreasing spending and has record of actually doing both. On the issues McCain is conservative but not so much to alienate moderates and independents.

I have said this many times....A requirement for President should be past militray experience, even if only 2 years.
The only exception to this rule who was a great president was Reagan.

Hopefully, the new one wont be asking to see 'the war room'
And, end of all these, I am (the entire world actually) hoping, this bunch of dirty neo-cons wont be here for another 4 years..

American politics is the strangest thing. There's only two parties that count for something, the democrats being on the right and the republicans being on the far right.
None of the candidates really appeal to me I just want the next president to be a democrat as I see them being the least bad. Let's turn around the horrow show that's been going on the the past two periods.

Actually your healthcare system could do with an overhaul, being the worst in the western world!

What about quantity? I don't understand what you mean? Has anyone tried to get a hip replacement in Canada? Because it is not concidered a "serious" condition it could be months or even a year before your "turn" is up.
I work in a the medical center in Houston and we have some of the most advanced treatment centers in Cancer (MD Anderson), heart surgery (St. Lukes), organ transplants (Methodist)....there is NO problem with healthcare. People come from all over the world to have treatment here. The problem is with access to Health Insurance and should never be associated with the level of care received here.

I think that is our point with your system. Wonderful healthcare for the rich...
As we were talking about the whole "system" then yes, actually, yours is the worst in the west.
Our system has many faults in the UK, but at least everything is free - from pills that cost several thousand pounds a week, to major heart surgery.
Our University hospitals and Cancer Charities don't do a bad job in research and developments either

...bu arada, I went on a business trip to Houston and drove through a huge area dedicated to hospitals and medical research. I must admit it was pretty impressive. Is that where you work?
