it will be either way. we're going into the worst recession ever. lots of people will lose jobs and homes either way I think I'm okay with an Obama Presidency. I think he'll do okay or McCain. I don't seem to have a preference I don't expect much from either

I'm sure Canada is much too conservative for you seriously? they have universal health care that hardly sounds "conservative" to me. If they were conservative they would let the poor die in the gutter like we do. Madisonman, take it from someone who has tried universal health care (Called the military) It doesn't run as smoothly as everyone thinks it does. When I lived in Germany, on a military base, with military health coverage and the "universal health care" style system, it took us two months after making the initial appointment to see a doctor. Even longer just to get an ultra sound and for my tonsils to be removed. Yeah, there is health care for everyone, so to say, but the doctors work very little. I am not saying our system is any better, because there are a lot of downfalls, but seriously...If you are going to base all of your opinions off of the movie "Sicko", just don't say anything. Weigh both systems and then come back and tell us which system is the lesser of two evils...but think of this...more often than not, on the Universal health care system, people die in the emergency room waiting for the doctors to get off of break, or because the hospital is under funded, or because the doctors decided that since they weren't getting paid fairly, they went golfing. I would like to add that Obama is not endorsing universal health care. He's providing a way for the uninsured working middle class to obtain insurance. thank you! I am so sick of people lableing him as a Socialist. It all comes from the negative campaigning bs from the republican party FANATICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL! wtf?!? :P ~ "belittled" and "insulted" - um... didn't know I was insulting you, and certainly not belittling anyone. You have "labeled" me as a fanatic - which is insulting to ME. Did I somehow strike a nerve? I was simply asking a question... where you live and where I live consist of very different surroundings. Unfortunately you are not alone. Thus there even being a problem here as to why you think this election is "just another election". Many white people who do not consider themesleves racists seem to think that this is smaller than it is. It is not the media that makes this election so huge, it is bigger than the media can make it. And, although I do not like to just assume things about someone I do not know, you have already made assumptions about me so you turned on the switch already. never mind. I changed my mind. I hope McCain wins so that some of these people WILL leave the country and leave it to us moderate closet racists

"these people" - you mean us folks that have civil opinions based on reality...?!?! or is it "these people" who are infecting those who don't know any better because they don't get to see it in real life....?

THAT sounds pretty racist to me

btw - you are aware of the fact that there are MANY "die-hard democrats" won't even vote for Obama BECAUSE of his skin color? as info - I didn't accuse you of being one, you have already claimed no political affiliation. In fact, based on your posts, you have made it pretty clear that you don't care about the upcoming election to begin with. Nor did I call you a racist. My 'rant' is because of your lackadaisical attitude toward this election.

THAT sounds pretty racist to me NO! But a Democrat who says that they will not vote for him becasue they are not ready for a black President is hanging on to racial bias and not looking at him as a qualified candidate, just seeing hims as a black guy.

My 'rant' is because of your lackadaisical attitude toward this election. ummmm noooooooo your rant is because I said I'm tired of all the fanatic partisan bomb throwers and wished they really would leave the country. and you made the assumption that I was referring to you and then proved it

I just heard from some Canadians they don't want you either I guess your Canadian friends don't know mine - I already have somewhere to go and a job opportunity if I want it. And if things don't work out there, its off to Australia where I have family and friends as well.
