Artful Dodger: The whole concept of group insurance uses the same "socialist" concept that is being used as the boogyman.The big insurance companies are laughing at the people doing their bidding so that they can post record profits, the jokes on the people

Artful Dodger: WIKIPEDIA:

"The term ['socialized medicine'] was popularized by a public relations firm working for the American Medical Association in 1947 to disparage President Truman's proposal for a national health care system. It was a label, at the dawn of the cold war, meant to suggest that anybody advocating universal access to health care must be a communist. And the phrase has retained its political power for six decades."

Ferris Bueller: I'd heard it was a very very effective ad,but no,saying it won him the election was probably an overstatement.The fact it is still a popular refrence does say something though in regards to it's impact on political advertising

dignity ended in no prosecution"

We had a similar case in Canada, but the father was put in jail

Artful Dodger: When McCain chose her as runningmate it gave her credability, as it should.People trust the position of Vice Presidential running mate not to be taken lightly.McCain clearly felt she was ready to be President over a year ago,people trusted his judgement

Artful Dodger: I've seen alot of politicians,some I like some I don't, but even amongst the ones I disdain I have never in my life seen such a charicature of a politician as Palin.She tosses out phrases and talking points, but sounds like even she doesn't understand many of the words she uses,it's mind bending..She sounds like a 3rd grader reciting Shakespeare when she talks politics

Artful Dodger: Who doesn't,but their are alot of intelligent political minds here.I would find it interesting how they read scenarios other than the ones they have become so familiar with.Folks who discuss the American political situation have to do research in order do be armed with valid points.I wonder if Americans are willing to also research international political situations and lend their opinions?

I'm not trying to cause trouble,I just find the topics here seem to always revolve around the USA,while the rest of the world spins round spins round
