Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Barack H. (!) Obama was wrong to characterize people from places less sophisticated than Chicago or San Francisco as rubes who can't think their way out of their own outhouses.

Barack Obama is an elitist punk. And … it will cost him.

First of all, he has all but guaranteed Hillary will win the primary in Pennsylvania next week and, therefore, will have no reason to exit the race.

Second - follow me here - Republicans believe they have to win Ohio and its 20 electoral votes to win the White House. However, the GOP did so badly in Ohio in 2006 it is very much in doubt whether John McCain will be able to carry the Buckeye state in the fall.

Ok. McCain has to figure he's going to have to replace those 20 electoral votes to get to the magic number of 270 to be elected President.

How about … Pehhhhhhhhhnsylvania!

Pennsylvania has 21 electoral votes. And in October and early November (assuming Obama is the Democratic nominee) I wouldn't be at all surprised if the voters of the Keystone State were reminded with some frequency that Barack H. (!) Obama called them bitter, frustrated troglodytes.

The longer this Democratic primary fight goes on, the more likely it is that John McCain will be the next President of the United States.

"Virtue, Liberty, Independence." The motto of Pennsylvania.

Whose life does that motto more closely reflect: John McCain or Barack Obama?

Your article supports my feelings about liberals. Hillary is a phony and Obama is an opportunist. He claims to be an African American, yet he is half black and half white. His black ancestor abandoned him but his white one raise him faithfully. Yet, he claims to be black.

This phony opportunist has taken up black liberation theology, thinking that it will put him in the White House. If it does, we are in grave danger. It just might, however, drive every thinking American to his knees in prayer to God.

Interesting isn't it? Do you suppose God might place him in office so people would call on him out of utter despair? Don't ask Obama about this because he has admitted that he doesn't know if God has a plan or not and that we can't know His heart either.
