Heh Heh...
It wasn't THAT long ago that some Democrats wanted McCain to run on their side...

Obama-Biden might be able to win Illinois and Delaware. And that's a big might.

The fact that the United States is the ONLY developed nation that does not provide adequate healthcare for its people is an obscene tragedy. Even people with insurance are finding that it covers less and less.
Incidentally, as many of you know, transgendered people are completely excluded from healthcare coverage, in almost all cases.
Republican rule is impoverishing the middle class while enriching the drug companies, the insurance companies, and the defense industry.
Any one who votes for McCain is helping to perpetuate this absurd system of corporate welfare at the expense of people at the bottom. I will be voting for Obama, but I think Nader has the right agenda.
Corporate welfare at home and hugely expensively wars abroad (which enrich the defense industry) IS the Republican agenda. That is what you are voting for with McCain.

But the most important thing to me is to hold the Republican party accountable for attacking Iraq under false pretenses. The taking of life for anything other than self defense is MURDER! I hope that everyone realizes that it was done to control oil resources in the region. In addition human rights have been trampled upon. This includes illegal spying on American citizens, when the legal means to do so was readily available. Also holding anyone for years without charges and the authorized use of torture techniques has done more damage than good. And it is immoral. The image of the US has plummet a lot more that the weakening dollar. I think Miss USA was booed at a recent Miss World competition, as well as other US participants at world events. Things like that are just a sign of how US prestige has suffered under Republican rule.
They should be held accountable for their actions.

But I will admit that the ‘elitist’ label strategy has been effective and is very important. McCain needs it to neutralize his poor college achievement vs Obama’s outstanding college achievements. Bush II needed it also, as he was a mediocre college student and John Kerry was a Medal of Honor. Kerry was ridiculed because he could speak French, where as in reality a president who could speak a foreign language could have been a diplomatic plus. So the ability to turn mediocrity into a political advantage has been a hallmark of Republican success.
