I think you're getting Obama's position confused with HRC...Obama has always subscribed to the theory that if "health care were affordable, people would get it." but you already knew that i'm sure. he does want to "mandate" health insurance for kids but i don't think this of overall a "bad thing." As far as "Robin Hood Economics"...lol! Are you serious? Do you listen to McCain on the stump and believe all this "Joe the plumber and socialist B.S."?!? There is nothing wrong with looking at the tax structure of a nation and seeing how it could be "more fair" to it's citizens. Personally, I don't care that McCain has voted with Bush 90% of the time...he's a republican! That's to be expected! Who cares if Obama voted with his party 96% of the time...he's a democrat! Big Deal! What I do care about is how each of these candidates have presented themselves while vying for the presidency. I care about the plans that both sides have presented in their vision for the future of America. And as for Paul Hubbert...The state of Education in Alabama leaves much to be desired. If he's worth his salt, he'll try and do SOMETHING quick to better our educational system regardless who wins the white house.Thed Wellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06770115856781926662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434078766224250925.post-57802356000650811932008-10-19T10:34:00.000-05:002008-10-19T10:34:00.000-05:00Thed, This is one of the best spin jobs I've seen ...Thed, <BR/><BR/>This is one of the best spin jobs I've seen in a while and I thought fox news was biased. The dictionary definitions given really are for the most part inaccurate when difining "conservatives" as it relates to politics. The best definition is the one that details conservative policy, but your assertion that conservatives don't want to change is grossly inaccurate. Example, in order to protect the sanctity of mariage, most conservatives want to "change" the constitution. By your definition, this should be seen as a "liberal" stunt. Also most employers not being conservatives is false as well. First, most companies are going to school you on their history and the principles that they were founded on and want to maintain, but that being said, in order to maintain a certain level of success still requires change. Would most big retailers still be successful had they not implemented a strategy that included selling their products on the internet? They made that change, in order to "maintain" their positions as market leaders. Change as we all know has been an overused catch phrase in this election cycle by a candidate with no record of changing anything but, his clothes and his position on the issues when they loose popularity. He went from unversal healthcare to Universal healthcare "light". From repealing the bush tax cuts, to "Robin Hood" economics. I'm sure he'll change a few more times before Nov. 4th if the polls tell him he should, but yet some of his supporters have the nerve to question John McCain's character? John McCain has fough his own party tooth and nail when he thought it right. Obama claims to have split w/ his party's constiuency in the last debate saying his positions make him unpopular w/ the trial lawyers and the teacher's unions LOL!! but yet, they all endorse him. As much as we do need change in education policy and tort reform, it doesn't sound to me like they're worried about him "changing" anything. You tell me, what does Paul Hubbert think about Barack Obama? Is he scared Obama will break his choke hold on Alabama's lackluster system?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
