He's done next to nothing for his constituents. Often you can't even get a form letter from his office. His entire career - from carpetbagging it to Arizona, to being for campaign finance reform before he was against it - has been all about political opportunism. McCain = 4 more years of Bush.

Everyone is NOT mandated to have auto insurance, only those that own a vehicle. So to answer your question, NO everyone should NOT be mandated to have health insurance. Think about it, I can already see the quality of healthcare dropping due to doctors being forced to accept a crappy, mandated national healthplan. Also, think about the fact that noone MAKES you pay car insurance. It's not something that's automatically taken out of your paycheck so again I say, that's a pretty weak argument or as you like to call it "analogy". Newsflash to "Totally for Hillary"

I agree with you. Where are Hillary's joint tax returns from 2005 and 2006? Obama had already released his in the spring of 2007. The interesting note about McCain is can he really spend that money raised prior to the Republican convention without breaking the public financing rules that he helped craft.

This wasn't the case in 2000 or 2004. It will make all the difference in 2008. P.S. please impeach Bush and Cheney as the lying war criminals and profiteers that they are.

And then our $35 million dollars will flood McCain's coffers and he will have the money and support to defeat Obama. Why?
