John McCain wants to help you

[pecunium]

With all the turmoil in the financial world, we ought not forget that things like healthcare are also important. John McCain has some thoughts on that too. Don't forget, he was part of the Commerce Committee in the Senate, so he had as close a look at, and more ability to affect, "the markets" as anyone.

Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.

Don't you feel better? John McCain has been active in the financial world from the very beginning of his publc life; when Savings and Loans were the big thing, he was helping Charles Keating.

And he was involved in, "the last decade in banking,", so we can be sure his ways of reforming healthcare will be well thought out, and beneficial.

I really want these people to stop helping me. I really, really do.

Meanwhile, he wants to discourage more employers from providing health care and tax your employer-provided insurance if you have it.

Great idea, John.

But it's Obama that's going to raise taxes on the middle class! After all, McCain's campaign said so, and it's not like they would lie about such a thing....

I really hate these people. I really,really do. "Vigorous competition" my Aunt Fanny..... It should read ..."Let the bastards rape you for needing aspirin"...

Yes, I was reading that last night.

Not to mention that John McCain has so much experience with needing to shop for health insurance. Oh wait...

I'm just hoping everything shakes out in November.

I didn't know Klaus Barbie was standing for election. Surely he wasn't American even when he was alive. I don't know, you close your eyes for a moment . . .

has mccain thrown the election?

John McCain, to the chagrin of his party, threw a gutterball when he selected that ridiculous creature from Alaska as his running mate. The Senator from Arizona who - for better or worse - can't tell a Baptist from a snake-handler, doesn't know what he has on his hands. Mayor Palin belongs to the "Dominionist" movement, a cult whose "support" for Israel is highly suspect (the Jews must be gathered in Israel for the Coming of Christ, who will then "perfect" them as Christians). We'd likewise be interested in her position vis-a-vis the infamous 13th forgery known as "Revelation 2:9." McCain's obvious ignorance of these matters has alienated a sizable portion of both the Orthodox and Reform Jewish communities. He had a clear opportunity to nominate the young congressman from Richmond, Eric Cantor, but chose instead to align himself with the sketchy Governor from Alaska, a lady who once tried to ban the teen classic "I Capture the Castle" from her local library. McCain's choice wasn't simply an insult to Jews, but to thoughtful Gentiles as well. Let's hope that he realizes his error before it's too late.

Cordially,
Matthew Anger

We can only hope.

Why, pray tell, do you want McCain to win?
