Quote of the Day
October 10, 2008
"I'm not sure that many Americans relate to the Obamas or even can relate to John McCain's life story. I wasn't shot down. I wasn't held prisoner of war for five 1⁄2 years. I didn't go through that transformational experience. ...
"So when she talks about balancing a career and raising five kids, tens of thousands of New Hampshire family's nod their heads up and down."

Planned Parenthood is a minus
When first reading the story about Healthcare, I was very interested until I noted that Planned Parenthood would be a part of it. Planned Parenthood only cares about how much money they can make off abortions. They don't much care about the unborn and I don't much care for organizations that think killing the unborn is an alternative health option. Having them as part of your group will lose supporters who will turn to other initiatives that don't include advocates of abortion.
They should just give that
They should just give that $40Million to fund poor people's medical bills instead of wasting in on Ads and political hacks.
