McCain-Palin administration would not have .....

[Still a Democrat]

...

Extend health insurance coverage to 30 million Americans, prohibit insurers from dropping cancer patients and others with serious illnesses, and prevent children with pre-existing conditions from being turned down by insurance companies.

Provide billions for early learning programs, elementary and secondary education, and $30 billion to make college more affordable for youth who otherwise wouldn't be able to attend.

Reform Wall Street, rescue the auto industry and, through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, produce 3 million jobs that helped stop the U.S. economy from falling off the cliff.

Assist millions of Americans in avoiding foreclosures, and produce billions to fight homelessness and hunger.

They know that a McCain-Palin administration would not have added funding for food stamps; food banks; and nutrition programs for women, children and infants. Obama did, and they know it.

Would a McCain-Palin administration have appointed Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court? Obama did. Would the United States be on its way out of lraq under a McCain presidency? Or pursuing a strategy to disengage from Afghanistan, even while thrashing al-Qaida and rounding up home-grown terrorists?

2. What's your point...

I have not heard a single person on this board wish that McCain/Palin had won

Straw man argument

3. You really showed that strawman who's boss!

4. Exactly right.

I just don't get people on here whining about the whole "standards" and "values" and "moral compasses".

I mean when my kid gets expelled for cheating I'm not going to get mad at him. I'm just going to say "Well, that other parents kid got arrested for stealing. Boy that would be much worse. No sense getting upset."

And when I screw up something at work or do a half assed job and my boss wants to fire me I'm just going to say "Hey, look at it this way. If you hired that crazy person who stands out on the corner muttering to themselves and yelling at people passing by, they would have REALLY screwed up this job. So the way I see it you should be thankful that I only messed up the way I did."

I mean people are crazy for living and behaving any other way. Just figure out what the worst people imagineable are doing and live your life slightly better than they are and declare it a victory. Anyone doing anything else is a total sucker.

5. McCain Palin would not have mandated health insurance for all Americans.

But they sure as hell would have liked to. It would have been their wet dream to require everyone in the country to purchase health insurance while doing very little to control premium increases. Oh how happy they'd have been to please their corporate overlords in such a manner. I can't wait for Obama to mandate home ownership in his bid to eliminate homelessness. These next two years will be incredibly fun.

6. "It could be worse . . . "

Uh, it could also be a whole hell of a lot BETTER, TOO!!

Our voting choices don't HAVE to be "Republican", "Arch-lunatic" or "Wasted 'Principles' Vote".

How about Democrats stop being so fucking afraid of the wealthy and their veiled threats and start acting like goddamned DEMOCRATS, for starters?

How about we all stop acting like Dick Cheney's still in office and start getting shit DONE for the people?

7. They didn't win so they are irrelevant.

8. If you truly have free will and choice, the choice is not Coke or Pepsi. The choice is choosing what

you are able to choose to begin with.


Being handed these establishment (whether in terms of seniority in Washington, or in their conditioning and close political circle) candidates from on high every four years and being told to stuff it when they ultimately always remember who their masters are is getting kind of old.
