If it were not for Ross Perot entering the race in 1992, thereby splitting the Republican vote, Bill Clinton would not have won the Presidency. Most people who voted for Perot would have voted Republican; this is a fact. If Perot had stayed out, George H.W. Bush would have won.

If it weren't for Bill Clinton being President, Hillary would not have any merit of her own to persue the Presidency. This is undeniable. Therefore, Ross Perot is the root cause of Hillary running for President. Am I right?

You build your dream house you settle in and life is beautiful but because of a change in law the property is taken from you and you cannot do anything. You are allowed to live in the shed at the end of the yard, what would you do? Would you fight for your land and property or just back down and let the new owners do what they want?

"Partly it’s a reaction to what happened in 2000, when the American people chose Mr. Gore but his opponent somehow ended up in the White House. Both the personality cult the right tried to build around President Bush and the often hysterical denigration of Mr. Gore were, I believe, largely motivated by the desire to expunge the stain of illegitimacy from the Bush administration.

And now that Mr. Bush has proved himself utterly the wrong man for the job — to be, in fact, the best president Al Qaeda’s recruiters could have hoped for — the symptoms of Gore derangement syndrome have grown even more extreme.

The worst thing about Mr. Gore, from the conservative point of view, is that he keeps being right. In 1992, George H. W. Bush mocked him as the “ozone man,” but three years later the scientists who discovered the threat to the ozone layer won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry."

Do you agree? http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/15/opinion/15krugman.html

My son was born in the relatively *tiny* Caerphilly Miners Hospital. Lovely little place, small team of midwives. All very local, homely and cosy. Spotlessly clean, good food, great care. Couldn't have asked for better. My son was even delivered by the local community midwife who'd been caring for me from the start of my pregnancy! I even got my own ensuite room!

In a few years I can guarantee it will be closed. The same happened to the Cardiff Royal Infirmary.

Now everyone will be sent to the University Hospital of Wales which is huge, understaffed and quite frankly, grotty. When I inspected the maternity unit there prior to having my baby I was disgusted. It was dirty, the toilets stank, the whole place was shabby and in need of a clean and it was obviously understaffed.

What is the benefit of closing our local hospitals and forcing everyone into these huge leviathan institutions where personal, one to one care and even hygiene is impossible?

My dad died intestate in NC two months ago. His girlfriend of 30 years made funeral home arrangements and took money from his bank account to cover the cost. She said that she would dispose of my Dad's other assets - two vehicles, a utility trailer, some heavy equipment, clothing and personal items. She gave me a few things of sentimental value and has not been very cooperative when I have asked questions. My Dad owed me $6000 when he passed. He and GF never lived together, but she considers herself next of kin. She has no interest in going to County Clerk to be appointed administrator of his estate and I am overseas. I called the court and they said to hire a lawyer, but I think I would spend more than I would recover! Help!

How come Democrats would rather simply handout money to poor people, instead of educating them to get their own jobs?

Is it to get votes? Heck, if a Presidential candidate offered to give me free money, I'd vote for him!!!

How about instead of welfare, we simply pump more resources into our education system, and teach people to earn for themselves, instead of suckling at the government's teat?

Is that OK Democrats? Or is any idea that forces people to actually DO something for their money a "violation of their rights"?

Okay, I must start by saying I've always been against universal health care. "Flip Flop" Clinton's plan resembles Canada's and they're considering their system to be in a state of crisis - so I think that'd be setting ourselves up for failure.
Here's my question.
For those who WANT to participate in free healthcare. FINE.
For those who don't - what if we were given a tax credit and the option to seek private health care and continue to purchase health insurance?
That suits me just fine.
I've invested in myself through higher education and can afford the cost associated with my health care. I personally don't like the idea of waiting in lines that resemble the DMV or post office just to see a doctor. We all know everything slows down once the government controls it. I also don't want some moron in the government deciding what's medically necessary for me.
Would a plan like this make everyone happy?

government run interests in education, health care, etc?

Do you remember the excesses of big business regarding polluting our environment (all those superfund sites didn't come from nowhere), exploiting labor (child labor, excessive hours, discrimination) early last century?

Don't you see any conflict of interest with profit driven interests controlling health care and education?

Can you not envision abuses and inequities based on income levels?

What's your small government solution to these problems, assuming you don't want government oversight as well?
