If he had shown the kind of emotion and compativeness that he showed tonight he might now be running for re-election! Joe was good. AND he actually has a child serving in the military. I've been trying to find a reason not to vote for Obama (primarily because of respect for McCain and his military service) and I'm not finding it. I'm looking forward to tomorrow evening...Chuckleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12096605716903029171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840481684409907581.post-43941007322286186842008-08-27T18:35:00.000-05:002008-08-27T18:35:00.000-05:00hmm - health care - i think whether private or pub...hmm - health care - i think whether private or public, it will remain overly expensive for one reason - we are stupid health care consumers. we take a doctor as the ultimate expert and never question. they prescribe so many tests that do not ultimately affect the success of care. running two or three cultures on an infection gets you roughly the same information in the same time frame as taking an antibiotic for 10 days. the tests cost $150 each and the anti-biotic costs $10. but you have to have the nerve to say 'what is that going to cost me' and 'what are the alternatives' and you have to have a doctor who will not be offended and walk out when you ask a question like that. intelligent consumers are the only way the cost of anything gets lowered ever.goprairiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00532311590000341237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840481684409907581.post-54002625109702076052008-08-27T17:42:00.000-05:002008-08-27T17:42:00.000-05:00While I am not a Hillary fan, I do feel that she i...While I am not a Hillary fan, I do feel that she is an excellent stateswoman (omg I used the feminine instead of genderless form) and I love the grace and poise and strength with which she gave her eloquent soliloque for Obama. It does take a little bit of forever for public perception to change - it took hundreds of years to abolish slavery and a hundred more to establish the concept of equality among the sexes (admittedly not quite here yet)and then fifty more to establish that maybe all races were equal. I am perfectly happy to see that our society is begining to mature enough to engender the concept of a non-white male in office, much less a female of any race. Personally I think I would have a hard time voting between Mr. Obama and Mrs Clinton if they were running against each other as they are both strong, forward thinking individuals with an agenda that actually promotes the health and future of the American way of life we all enjoy (except for publicly funded health programs - that idea needs to be rethought). As for the old guy whom I am concerned is in the beginning stages of dementia (honestly, who doesn't know how many houses they own???), well - I don't think he has a real grasp of the "common man." Kudos to him for staying in a pow camp in the jungles of Korea, I just don't think it is safe during a war time to hire someone for this top job who has known potentially life-threatening health issues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840481684409907581.post-8781833700710040882008-08-27T12:48:00.000-05:002008-08-27T12:48:00.000-05:00mighty wordy of you there, clifford. welcome to m...mighty wordy of you there, clifford. welcome to my little blog.goprairiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00532311590000341237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840481684409907581.post-61033911976954678242008-08-27T11:38:00.000-05:002008-08-27T11:38:00.000-05:00Good point and right on target.

I Clifford know enough to know that no to GWBJr. is more important than any flight of fancy by those who worshipped all things Hillary. She has told you what direction the wind is blowing so turn your blades and help blow Obama in to the Oval Office where he can keep Hillary's fight going....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
