Comparing Hillary Clinton to Richard Nixon is wrong and just plain mean. What did Nixon ever do to you to deserve that kind of treatment?

Barack Obama testifies to his devout Christianity. The fact that Obama’s father, and later his step-father, were Muslim, proves the point. Had Obama been reared in the Muslim faith, then switched to Christianity, these gentlemen would have been honor-bound to deal with the situation. One can only conclude that Obama was raised a Christian from birth.
p>Nonetheless, President Obama should watch his back when he jets off to Damascus and Tehran. Only a liberal Democrat with an uncommon gift of faith could believe that a Christian man, raised in a Muslim household, could win the hearts and minds of these Mohammedans. br> — Dan Martin br> Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania /p> p> PROFILES IN COWARDICE br> Re: Hal G.P. Colebatch’s Nursing a Grudge : /p> p>While David Cameron may not get it (socialized medicine sucks) this information affords conservatives, Republicans and John McCain ammunition to attack Democrats and their liberal fascist Presidential candidates for wanting to do for our excellent health care system what national health care has done for Britain. This could be a major issue this November if we’ll frame it as the Democrats want to destroy a costly, but excellent health care system with an even more expensive and inadequate government run bureaucracy. Educating the public to the horrors of “Hillary care” or “Obamanation medical desolation” will take some effort, but will pay dividends at the polls and for American’s health. br> — Michael Tomlinson /p>

When McCain sat down with the journalists and editors in Des Moines, one of them asked, "Have you always been covered for health care by a taxpayers' financed health care plan?" He seemed genuinely stumped by that and didn't seem to have any response except, "That's an interesting statement."

The answer is: Of course he has, ever since he was a child. He has taken advantage of the government's administered health plan for over two decades in the Senate, without complaint about it that I know of, and he will also receive a government invested and administered pension plan when he retires. Both are prized by their recipients, by the way. Isn't it hypocritical for any candidate to take advantage of these two socialistic programs, yet call for deregulation and free markets?
