I wish I had half the class of Romney. I loved his speech on religion in politics and his withdrawal speech at the Conservative Convention. His endorsement today was something he did not need to do. As his former coordinator here in Champaign County, I am asking all his supporters to get behind McCain. We may disagree with him on one or two issues, but if we are looking for the perfect candidate, we will have to wait awhile.
I iike Obama as someone who could, finally and forever, kill affirmative action based on skin color. I would dearly love to judge people, including Republicans, by the content of their character. Unfortunately, I believe that Obama needs to mature a little more in his policy considerations before he is ready for this office. Maybe in four years.
The first rule of medicine (do no harm) is the first rule for a President of the United States: protect the country. Hauling butt ought of Iraq is not the way to do that..
When the ranks of those that work for government continue to grow, we jeapordize the pensions and employment of those who are now employed. Obama's promises will expand government and put added pressure on our economy.. At this point in our history, our economic policy should be one where we reduce govenrment.
We need Universal Health Care for Children, but not the Medicaid plan of Blago that Obama endorses. This would be a disaster for the country. We certainly do not need to put the insurance companies out of business, nor do we want to discourage our young men and women to become doctors. We certainly do not need socialzied medicine or a govenrment plan that believes that doctors and hospitals can remain solvent when we pay our providers what govenment wants to pay them.
