This thread discusses the Content article: McCain says Obama wants to forfeit war in Iraq

I don't think he wants to forfeit in Iraq, but I think he'll promise just about anything to get elected...in the end though, I don't think he'll move troops home any sooner than McCain, despite all the talk. I think a lot rests on the state of affairs in Iraq, something no one can predict, more than campaign promises.

However, I think McCain is correct about Obama's desire for a bigger government. Obama has some very socialist leanings and I think he will push for a more Socialist government. And that scares the hell out of me.

Yeah, I sure pity all those countries (and boy, are there a lot) who have universal health care and also have lower infant mortalities and longer life expectancies than we do.

I guess they don't know how bad off they really are.

Hmm, maybe you would prefer to live there then if they are so much better.

I'm reminded of the old adage, "You get what you pay for."

And where is the money for this socialist utopia going to come from when Obama's system caters to the lowest contributor? Working hard means nothing in a system where the hard worker and the lazy worker are equally rewarded...

Love it or leave it, Truth! What a great bumper sticker that would make for the John Birch Society. Oh, they already used that.

Naw, I prefer to live here and be part of the change. Thanks for the thought, though.

Two posts and you have avoided the issue. So why do these countries (Japan, Canada, Sweden, France, Iceland, Switzerland, Italy, Great Britain, Norway, Denmark, Greece, Germany to name a few) with universal health care have lower infant mortalities and longer life expectancies than we do?

Go ahead, tell us why it is? Surely conservative talk radio has an answer, don't they?
