Canada
__________________gets a big thumbs up from me and America has the worst Health Care System in the world if you are evaluating the money that is paid into Health Care to the actual Health Care provided I am sure Canada is way ahead looking at that same metric. |

What pool?
If I was a pregnant woman, I'd open the phone book and pick whatever ob/gyn I wanted to. Or I'd ask my friends and go on their recommendation. Period. I recently needed to see a specialist as I'm having a surgical procedure done in April. They asked me if I'd previously seen a specialist in this field - turns out I had and I liked her so I asked if I could get a referral to her again. I did, without any problem. I am actually going to a different one in the end, because I wanted the procedure done in the city where I'm at school at the moment rather than Toronto. Again, it wasn't a problem. |

You can liken the USA's Health Care to Canada's the same way you can liken Nordstroms to Walmart. And for the liberals that turn this into a class envy war shame on you. Another man should never judge another fellow my the size of his wallet. If you're fornuate to drive a 550 s Mercedes good on you; I happen to drive a Honda Accord EX and I 'm not envious of the Mercedes fellow. ![]() dbs |

Did anyone see Keith Olbermann's 'Special Comment' about the Hillary/Ferraro thing? The 'Special Comment' segment isn't anything new, he does it every once in a while, but DAMN...last night, he just ripped Hillary and her campaign a new one for their handling(or lack thereof) of the Ferraro thing and what it represents. This was a nearly ten minute long tyrade. And it was one of the best things I've ever heard any pundit say about anything. Olbermann has balls.

you know what's worse? calling the Catholic church "the great whore"? or that Katrina was "the judgment of God against New Orleans" because it dared to allow a gay pride parade. |

And you're right. We shouldn't judge another person by their wealth. We should judge them by how they treat their fellow humans. ... oops, guess we're failing in America. We don't treat our poorer citizens very well when it comes to health care. This isn't about making things a class war. It's about caring for our own citizens. Gosh, how horrid that I would like the same health care to be available to all US citizens, no matter what their tax bracket. Nordstrom's. Jesus. |

let's say the Mercedes is $80,000 and the Honda is $30,000 Well, in America the Auto Dealer gets paid $100,000 for each person and he gives 35 % the Mercedes (a $80,000 car) for the $100,000 and then he give another 35% a Honda (a $30,000) car) for the $100,000 and then there are 30% that get nothing for the $100,000 now in Canada the auto dealers gets $30,000 for each person and each person gets a $30,000 Honda the Honda is a sufficient vehicle to get the people where they need to go. The Mercedes is nicer, a little bit more comfortable, but at the end of the day the $30,000 Honda gets the job done. But , the Americans say look at us, we have $80,000 Mercedes and leave out the part that the Auto Dealers are paid $100,000 and only deliver $80,000 to 35%. $30,000 to 35% and nothing to 30% |

Why Geraldine and not Jeremiah Wright?
What a double freaking standard!!!!! Geraldine has to resign and Hillary denounces her......
Yet this minister, who is in my opinion, spreads racial hatred, is allowed to stay associated with the Obama campaign. Talk about your double flipping standards!!!!!!!!! |

i didn't really disagree all that much with the minister.
![]() what Geraldie said was idiotic, and her continued defense of it, not to mention her higher standing in the american consciousness, made her a liability to the campaign. that's why she "resigned." |

Well I hope he will be removed from his campaign after this...
Although, I don't disagree with everything he says, most won't be able to understand this type of message. |

To quote my bride the Obama supporter - this bothers her more after his wife's comments.
I think he is unelectable to this high an office. ![]() |

I do not think you have to disagree with everything he says, but this man is not come from the cloth of Dr. King. And the message is EXACTLY what the republican machine will use to destroy this campaign.

i agree -- it would be smarter of Obama to distance himself from this guy. the Republican plan to "swift boat" Obama is to try to create some sort of revelation of him as some sort of unrepentant Black Panther radical who hates white people. it's garbage, of course. but that is what they are going to try to do and scare away the blue collar whites who are still mildly racist in a non-specific sense. |
