1 - Obama clearly said if you have healthcare you may not or will not see any changes...But if you don't have it you should get the ability to join a different plan than us that do have it. This means there shouldn't be a scare to us that we will lose our prefered Dr. or our plan. Obviously neither of us can see the future for sure, but I am going on what his plan is thus far. McCain's was to remove employer-based healthcare which would be a nightmare for me. Obama also wants to reduce or eliminate the pre-existing condition nonsense. I have one and it is crazy to say that since healthcare is a business they shouldn't cover anyone who isn't perfectly healthy. Why have health insurance if it is only for the healthy?
2 - "The Democrat Bailout " - This really isn't fair. It took plenty of republicans to make it happen and McCain claimed credit for the bailout before it even happened. I think both sides were to blame, rather than to thank, for the "bailout". I'm not sure why it was called bailout, since I haven't met anyone who has benefited from it. Guess I don't have any CEO friends!
Gays - I don't see your point. If you don't want to be gay, that is your CHOICE, and why should you do anything more about it than simply not be gay? Why take it a step further and vote for laws to define and govern marriage, and gay rights? That would mean controlling other people's private pursuit of happiness, correct? No law will stop people from being gay, so voting against them with laws isn't going to accomplish anything.
Obama and sex ed - this was discussed in the media during the campaign and denounced as a desparate attack ad by the republicans to try and paint Obama as some kind of bad guy. This was not about teaching kids how to have sex. It was a responsible agenda behind it. Once again it showed how the McCain camp was running a platform of dogging Obama while Obama was busy talking straight about plans for unifying and rebuilding.
I mentioned abortion, and wanted to mention that no one is really "pro-abortion". Some of us recognize that there are some terrible situations where it may be an option. I do not approve of it in the case of a cheating wife who simply didn't want the ooops baby and didn't want the husband to find out...And I didn't make that up I know someone who had 2 abortions just because it was inconvenient to be pregnant. That is very upsetting. So I think there is a place, but only a limited place for abortion and the gov should set those limitations. I believe Obama shares that view.
I appreciate your perspective and your vote for Obama.
A quote I once heard - "Love your country always and your government when it deserves it!"
Take care,
