What will be the change again? Oh, right.. I will have to foot your medical bill.., my capital gains taxes go up, I will probably loose my student grants ( he was not really clear on that one). What else? Oh yea, he advocates increased Federal spending. Hey, if you want him to spend more of your money thats fine and dandy, but keep your hands off my trove.

Thanks, but no thanks.

You sure do seem to be confused. That is OK though, just stay in school and continue learning about these things. While you study, please allow me to assist in your intellectual enlightenment:

In opening, please face the fact that McCain's "disabilities" as you describe them certainly do not prohibit from learning to use a computer in any way. What is alarming is that you somehow wish to link McCain's services 40 years ago to this election as if they mattered more than his marital infidelities. If you really wish to make his past behavior a topic for discussion- understand that you get the bad with the good and as his Keating Five Buddies might agree- you really don't want to go there with me.

Now, on to your rambling and inaccurate reply to my own well thought out, factual, and reasonable comments. :rotfl:

1st: I pay for my own medical insurance, so unless you wish to begin your next statement with an illiterate misrepresentation- please confine your comments to the public facts and not my personal situation of which you know nothing.

2nd: I and every other American pays currently for a disease care system that will prevent a person from seeing their doctor for a case of the sniffles, but will dip into the public coffers to foot the bill when the sniffles deteriorate to pneumonia because of a lack of care and a $3.00 prescription.

3rd: As you must know, it is illegal for a hospital to turn away a person based upon their ability to pay, but there is no such prohibition made upon doctors who are quite able to tell those who cannot pay for the office visit to simply return to the street and die there. THAT situation is one that unnecessarily costs the American taxpayers tens of billions of dollars each year.

4th: A large and ever growing segment of the population already receives socialized health care- they are those who receive Medicare, Medicaid and as you must surely know- that number is growing.

Medicare serves Social Security beneficiaries 65 years and older, as
well as the long-term disabled.3 In 2003, 85 percent of the 41 million
Medicare recipients qualified because of age.

5th: Please- complain to me of your capital gains taxes going up after you have seen them reduced year after year in the backwards attempt to make "trickle down economics" work in America. I am willing to pay more because I can afford it while it seems you are quite willing to see millions others suffer so that you can afford to what... send yourself through college based upon those "capital gains cuts" and those student grants are would appear to come under the same "welfare" programs that you are so against when they assist some other American other than yourself. THAT my friend smacks of things that I will not describe here in order to spare exposing your hypocrisy.

6th: You dare to bring up increased federal spending in defense of an administration and a political party that has nearly bankrupted the American People?? You dare to spout nonsense about fiscal responsibility after eight years of George Bushes spend, spend, spend and borrow, borrow, borrow policies that have catered to the few at the expense of the many and to out children. Take it somewhere else champ that garbage won't fly here.

7th: Your trove you say? Keep my hands of your trove?? Listen up partner- you claim to be a student- that means that either you got your "trove" through inheritance or through some ill gotten means. Please explain to me how a student requiring "grants" to get through college has such an impressive trove to start with? Or was that just banging out the latest talking points from McCain.com??

I could go on, and I am tempted since you make it so easy, but instead I would suggest that you learn the facts behind the issues before you enter the polling place or you may just get what you want- and in your case I am sure that that would be just exactly what you deserve.

Obama will cut taxes for nearly all Americans, unless you "EARN" over $250,000.00 per year, you will not see a tax increase for those earnings.

Obama will GIVE you a $4,000.00 tax credit to attend college- how does negatively affect your "grants" in any way?

Obama WILL make it the right of every American Citizen to seek medical care for minor ailment and not just the serious and life threatening ones that we pay for today. Seems a smart and affective way to get control of the current system that is actually broken in a very expensive and backward thinking way. We MUST fix health care for several reasons besides the one that addresses your initial grievance. Health care costs are out of control and unless it is fixed- we face a national disaster of truly "epidemic" proportions.

If you choose to respond to my reply- please comes armed with something more substantial and factual than your initial post. I don't mind enlightening those who are misled or misinformed- but you do bare a little responsibility in understanding the facts and not just regurgitating McCain's latest hype.
