McCain-Obama dance off

I'm not sure you fully understand what socialized health care actually means. Socialized health care means the government takes over the health care system which is not even close to what Obama wants to do. As he's stated at least a million times now, they want to make health care more affordable to the average person, which it is not right now. You can still go and get health care from whoever you want. When he says he wants to provide the same quality of health care as members of congress receive, he is not saying that you will get treatment by the government.

As a former member of the military I find it funny that many of the people that bash Obama about "socializing health care" never seem have any issue with the fact that our military members are basically on a socialized health care system. Even if he were proposing socialized health care, which he is not, if it's so bad than why is it acceptable for the people who defend our country?

It's hard to say how Obama's tax plan will pan out. I'm not going to even speculate and the truth is no one really knows. If we've learned anything in the last few weeks it's that there are no experts on the economy. The other thing we've learned is that as the economy get's worse and worse, John McCain seems to look less and less capable of dealing with it. Economies are driven by confidence. How exactly does John McCain intend to instill confidence in the American people when he can't even portray that confidence in himself?

On top of it all, John McCain's campaign is about as fucked up as a screen door on a submarine. Hell, even Bush was competent enough to keep a campaign together.
