Would a CEO of a large company (an equivalent position) be
preparation? It is a lot more executive experience then Obama.

Now your into your opinion, which is in your mind is correct, and in
my mind incorrect. I believe that McCain's plans are better then
Obama's , that is why I will vote for McCain.

And it is much better to argue policy then personalities.

And yet better to argue American politics on an American Political news
group.

Blake this girl was 17 years old, when she decided to have unprotected
sex. Do you think that she knew nothing about safe sex , except what
she was taught in school.
You evidently know nothing about kids that age.

Blake it was a preemptive strike. You know the press, would have had a

Which CEO would you like? The CEO of General Motors, Ford, or Chrysler?
How about Carly Fiorina who does some speaking on McCain's behalf, and
while head of Hewlett Packard, she almost ran it into the ground before
she was asked to leave.

Likening the presidency to being the CEO of a private company is silly.
The job of leader of the free world is unlike any other job on the
planet. If CEO experience is so important for Republicans, you should
have nominated Mitt Romney, but you opted for a guy who has not spent
any time working in the capacity of CEO, and neither has Palin.

It certainly speaks to McCain's character, and as he said in his
acceptance speech, the job of president is all about character.

This isn't going to stop for a while Giusi! Most of the participants
here are American and live in the US, so it's relevant to us. This is
the most fired up (in a productive way) I've seen this group - ever.
Talk is good. When the tone of discussion drops to name calling, I'll
kill file the threads. At the moment, they are interesting. People
have strong opinions and back them up with facts (so far).

If we were this passionate about the last election, who knows? Maybe
it would have had a different outcome.

Very few people here have any interest in going to an unknown
political ng filled with people who think there's a conspiracy behind
every headline in the news.

Why do you favor McCain's health insurance proposal?

Nothing yet. It'll have to be simple. Our house is a complete shambles
since my step-daughter, her boyfriend, her two dogs and her rabbit moved in
with us (with a bunch of stuff we really don't have room for because we're
already storing the other three children's crap downstairs). Her boyfriend
is off to Hoboken in a couple of weeks, after he defends his PhD thesis,
for post-grad work at Columbia for a year. She will be travelling between
Ottawa and Hoboken for a year, but for the nonce she is gainfully employed
and that's actually a good thing, although her term is set to expire end of
October. His income should be sufficient to cover her needs here as well
by then (gas, food). Her daughter is now at her father's and comes to
sleep over on weekends, which ratchets up the noise and irritation level
for me at a time that I have negotiated with my employer (I work four days
a week instead of five) as I needed more time to do things in a relaxed
fashion. No such luck. Oh well, I retire in 281 calendar days.

Oh, I just remembered, we have some excellent nitrate-free slab bacon...but
the problem is that everybody is going to want some too...grrr...

So, eggs, slab bacon, toast, tea. :-)

Because a "health plan" or anything called a "plan" is something
inferior shoved down hard working citizen's throats. I don't want an
auto insurance plan. I don't want a home owner's insurance plan. I
don't want any insurance *plan*. I want to buy my own insurance,
thank you very much... same as I buy my own groceries. Maybe you want
to be on the dole and exist on hand outs like those in homeless
shelters so the gubermint can take care of you. NOT ME! And I
certainly don't want government dictating what level of health care
entitlements I deserve. I've always bought my own medical insurance
and so can everyone else. You'd rather spend your money on good
times, go ahead, but when you get sick don't come running to me to pay
your medical bills, grasshopper. Get sick and you didn't buy health
care because you needed ball game tickets more, that's just tough
titty... and that's McCain's health plan... it's called "Tough
Titty". I'm much in favor of Gov't by Tough Titty, that's another
reason I like Sarah, Sarah, Sarah!

Because it gives people freedom to decide for them selves, what health
insurance that they want. It will not force them in to government
healthcare.
I personally thing that there is no need for a massive change in
health care. After the number of those who decide that they don't
want, or need it, those who have programs available to them, and
won't apply, ect., there is not that many who don't have insurgence.
Let concentrate on those, and not a new massive program.

I just told you about McCain's CEO experience, but to you if it is in
government it's not experience, unless it Obama's running for an
office.
Palin ran a state with an 11 Billion $ budget, and 25K employees.
Isn't that CEO experience.

And BHO spent 20 years in an anti-American and racist church.
Is that the character, you want in a president?
McCain apologized for what he did more then 25 years ago.

Hmmm! I have no problem with your approach. My problem with McCain's
policy is that he would tax employer funded health insurance. When
McCain's buddy President Bush floated that idea, he dropped it like a
hot potato, but McCain is pursuing the idea while keeping quiet on his
plan to tax employer provided medical insurance.

We pay for our National Health Insurance along with our taxes. Many of us,
who can afford to, buy private insurance too!

Like old joke about the couple who went to a doctor to find out if there was
a birth-control option which was COMPLETELY effective. The doctor walked to
his bookshelves, thumbed through several books, then returned to his desk,
sat down, and said, "Eat an apple."

"That's it? Eat an apple? Oh, we can do THAT! Thank you, doctor, thank you
very much!" the husband said, as they turned to leave.

The couple stopped in the doorway and the wife looked back and said,
"Doctor, should we eat the apple before or after we have sex?"

The doctor replied, "Instead."

How do you know that it wasn't a case of the pill not working, or a condom
breaking, or something like that? It's not like either Bristol or her
boyfriend are giving details of the conception.

Especially the way it reads as you snipped it -- that they're supposed to
do that with an apple, not the aspirin that is the joke.

And a cingularly easy one to succeed at, too. Whoever
came up with that 'aspirin between your knees' has no
imagination whatsoever.

Yup. And it's not inconceivable (hur hur) that a teenager on birth
control pills might fail to mention the fact to a dermatologist
prescribing antibiotics for zits.

Doxicycline, commonly prescribed for control of acne, renders the pill
ineffective as birth control. Utilization of a secondary method is
absolutely mandatory.

It's easy enough to imagine a responsible teen who has sought
contraceptives on her own being reluctant to mention the fact at the
dermatologist while Mumsy Dearest, a believer in "abstinence only" is
sitting next to her.

?huh? I thought birth control pills were prescribed for zits. At
least they were when I was a teen. Oh! Now that I think of it, maybe
that's a <wink wink>... doctors being proactive and all.

they can be, but the antibiotics that are also sometimes prescribed
contraindicate birth control pills.

What mental block? I don't think tongue is any different than any
other variety meat, like liver. Now on Taboo last nite they had
people(in China) eating penis's from sheep, yak, seal, donkey, deer &
even from snake(didn't know they had one). Now that would definitely
create a mental block.

My sister was taking the pill and she was prescribed doxycycline for
rosacea. Nine months later, she had a baby. He was her 5th child and her
only unplanned pregnancy.
