Tiffany It may not be the popular stance on this board but I am with you. My prayer is that all these promises will be carried out. I can see it now...in 4 years he will ask for 4 more years and say he is still trying to fix the evil George Bush's mistakes. I also don't think he will be pulling out our military. It should be interesting. I didn't vote for him and I hope all the people who did make me eat my words. It should be an interesting time in history.

I dont think that our Founding Fathers thought that every person should be entitled to health insurance just because they are American. We must WORK!!!!!! for what we have! Now theres a concept! I find that a very odd statment coming from someone on THIS type of board...seeing SOME of our children may not be ABLE to work. So in your eyes...as they are older they are no longer deserving of health care? Very interesting....or is sad the right word? I know I dont post much on the board...so I havent said much in this thread...but that statement...truly saddens me. And one last comment...just because he is prez...doesnt mean he will get all he wants...He doesnt stand at the white house with a magic wand and get all his wishes...it has to pass through others also...dont forget that. And Im not sure why anyone thought Palin had the answers we need for our kids...that has stumped me reading through this. You say she KNOWS she UNDERSTANDS...understands what? Her baby is 6 months old...not even in the school system yet...and doubt as governor (or if she made VP) ever WOULD be...so how would she KNOW what it is our kids need? And having a goverment position? I doubt she has ever hurt for health care for her child She only has strong views bibically...which honestly someone in office with that strong of beliefs is what should *terrify* anyone. Thats your first step to losing your *American rights* Telling who you can/cant have in the bedroom (gay rights) What you can and cant do with your body (abortion) And no this doesnt mean im for abortion...I PERSONALLY wish they didnt exist, but they do, and it will happen legal or not...like it or not...but just because I dont believe in it doesnt give me the right to think these rights should be taken from others. I could go on for days on how her beliefs are WAY to strong to be in office... Ok rambling...I just wanted to comment mainly on that one quote.... carry on....

I feel I must defend my statement. Of course there are people with disabilities that will need assistance when they are old enough to be kicked off their parents insurance. I cant believe you would make it sound like I dont care about our kids! I am talking about the millions of Americans who pay NO taxes, and live off of everyone else. We pay over $1000 a month for health care for our family. My husband and I work very hard to keep that. We are barely scrapping by. However, I would rather be dead than have the Gov. dictate my health care. And by the way, Obama can do pretty much what he wants to because he has the House and Senate in his back pocket. And, thanks Renee for your support!
