[QUOTE]Originally posted by rgtrahn: [QB] :worship: [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y284/rgtrahn/o08.jpg[/IMG] :whoowhoo: :patriot: Despite my personal beliefs, I have a question for everyone or maybe more of a statement. Do you really think that the next President will be a Republican? Unless, something seriously changes we will have our first female or African American President in the history of the United States! I for one think that will move America forward by 100 years. Since when did religion make a difference in a values, character, or integrity? Are people trying to infer that possible because a person is Mormon, Muslim, Jewish, or even Christian that based on that or there name alone they are not right to lead our great nation? It is obvious that our current government leaders are not getting anything done. Dana, no one is trying to take away your right to, "Bear Arms". I know that speaking for myself, I do not see how we can be fiscally responsible, be hundreds of billions of dollars in deficit, pass a budget that puts us further in the whole, and talk about tax credits/breaks especially for the wealthy. If not us, our children will be paying for the legacy left behind today. I am sorry, but republicans make no since to me. How can a person call oneself a fiscal conservative, yet spend hundreds of billions of dollars in debt each year and talk about cutting taxes and then make them permanent? It is not rocket science. We either need to stop spending or increase revenue. One way you increase revenue is to raise taxes. And what about universal health care? From my own personal experience, I know we need it YESTERDAY!!! My girlfriend is no different than an average of nearly 48 million other Americans. She has/had health insurance, it is fair to say her family is middle class, and the played by all the rules under the current system. About two years ago she was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. This disease has drained her family of everything and they are now going through bankruptcy. This does not even account for how the insurance company literally tried everything to get rid of her including dumping her off the insurance policy on, "accident" FOUR TIMES!!! :mad: It enrages me when I hear people talk about how the current system is working or how we need a free market, or ECT... and yet millions of people are going without health coverage because it is to expensive, not available, or possibly both. At the sacrifice of sounding like a socialist, it is time that we become are brother keepers and start taking care of one another, even if that means(God forbid) again raising the taxes, and doing away with our free market. I am sorry, I just do not believe in people's goodwill. I guarantee that I cannot trust/believe that you or the next person will donate to my medical needs or my girlfriends unless forced to by the IRS. Face it, people are greedy and want what they have. People do not want to share, but we have humanitarian needs that are not being met. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the middle class gets pinched in the middle(Think of it as a hour glass) I know that I am not the only one that believes this because two year ago during the last election, we elected a Congress that is held by a majority of Democrats. Just look at the numbers at the tolls Obama/Clinton are getting nearly one million votes; while McCain/"Hiccup" are getting only 10% of that. As Obama says, "We need change" Sorry for my long rant I know that many of you will strongly disagree with me, but I know that there is a larger majority that will agree with me 100%! :patriot: Sorry if my grammar/spelling is bad, I was writing off emotion. Politics get me all heated inside :whoowhoo: [/QB][/QUOTE]
