None of them know what their doing so it really doesn't matter.

One thing I find appealing about McCain, though I am a democrat, is the fact that he has experience in the military. Right now, we are at war, nomatter if we like/agree with it or not. I feel that McCain, though he may keep the troops abroad longer, will honestly have their best interest more in mind as well as their safety than the armchair QB's with no military experience acting as commander in chief.

I just want to focus on this part, because neither of these 2 offer anything that is going to help the average person. As a business owner, I have stopped offering health care to employees. At $750+ per month for a single employee, and $1200+ per month for a family, I simply cannot afford it. I'd imagine there are plenty of other small businesses dealing with the same issue. My overseas business associates laugh whenever I discuss this issue with them, as none of them have to deal with this. I see this as one of the most important issues, and will not vote for a any candidate who does not have a viable plan to fix this problem.

So let's get this straight Eric, You can afford a NSX, a BMW X series and all the other nice stuff you get being a business owner. But you can't afford to give your employees HEALTH INSURANCE... You are such a hypocrite.

Maybe if you lived in a smaller apt, drove a less expensive car and kept your old big screen TV instead of buying a plasma, your employees wouldn't have to die from Influenza.
For someone who always speaks so highly of the good of the people, you certainly are living a very comfortable life while your peeps go without healthcare..

Nice owner I'm surprised people stay with you and that you are allowed to do that. Kind of goes against that liberal belief structure..doesn't it?

None of the three candidates (Libertarian, Republican, Democrat) are going to socialize medicine.

Perhaps - but a lot of people want to point to Canada and say that "look.. they are always coming to the US for health care.. their system sucks. we don't want to be like that.."

When in fact it isn't true at all. The health care system in canada is great. The one thing you could always count on was to be covered for health care as a citizen, as long as you spent 6mths as a resident there. Some say the system doesnt allow for competition or Dr's don't make any money etc etc. Doesn't a doctor get into the business to save lives first and foremost? If he/she wants to make $, they can write a book, do research, lectures etc. if you're smart enough to be a doctor, you should be smart enough to find a way to make a good living for yourself.

ok.. thread hijack over.

I was hoping there was a thread hijack mentioned, because that had nothing to do with what I said

I think my vote will swing because of one or two reasons, maybe both:

1) Taxes
2) International Policy (Which means a tough stance on Iran)
