For Amywawa-- -my answers

I never asked for free health care, only the opportunity to bring home more of the money my husband and I work so hard for. Don't you?
Yes, absolutley I would love to have more money on my paycheck. With Obama the cost of your healthcare should go down... though your paychecks will go down too... because in order to pay for the universal healthcare taxes must go up. Right now I get to choose my healthcare. I'd rather pay higher for the right of choice than to pay more and have the government decide for me.

I can't believe you really think that everyone is going to suddenly realize that they could bring home the same amount of money if they just go sit at home and collect welfare and food stamps. Ever try to live off welfare and food stamps?-
This may shock you but yes, as a matter of fact I have lived on welfare From Nov. 1998-Feb.1999. The system failed. With how the system is set up it doesn't help you get a leg up when you're down. It's either all or nothing. It's not set up to help you get on track. It's set up to make you dependent on it. All I wanted was help with my medical, and a little help with daycare. I was told "Sorry, you have to take free health care, and free daycare. You can't work, you have to take foodstamps, we can get you into an apartment for $25.00 a month AND we'll pay you to go to a University. Oh and we'll give you $300.00 a month free money" Great, that's great but really I just want help with daycare cost and health insurance. I make $10.00 an hour and at the time that was TWICE the amount you could make and get help with.

Public hospitals?- OK, you got me on this one. I'll give it to you. I've only had experience with the Des Moines public hospital.. Broadlawns- and it's a sh!thole. I wouldn't take my dog there.

As far as guns, I don't allow them in the house. I have kids and I'm not interested in having one of them end up in some sad story on the news. Also, not sure where you heard or read that Obama was going to be getting rid of the 1st and 2nd amendments.--I hate guns too, but it is our right to bear arms. So because some people are ignorant and don't practice proper safety by keeping their guns locked up we should all have our rights taken away? You only hear about the incidents where kids get a hold of guns. Of course you never here "tonight on the news at 6 Joe Blow has raised 5 kids in a house with guns and nobody was killed because he practiced proper gun safety"

Here is your link on Obama and his stand on guns:http://www.ontheissues.org/2008/barack_obama_gun_control.htm

Now, as for Freedom of Speech there's the Fairness Doctrine which Democrats HEAVILY support. Democratic Congress, Democratic President hmmm this too will pass. http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/F/htmlF/fairnessdoct/fairnessdoct.htm

These are my answers. We must agree to disagree. I will say that I am hoping for the best, and I hope Barack proves me wrong. I still love you AmyWAWA!!!

I still love you too, Lindsay! I was feeling bad last night after everything I wrote. I shouldn't have come to YOUR blog and got all "up in your face", your blog-face anyway. To get so defensive like that, is not my normal style. I agree to agree to disagree. Or...something! :)

If it makes you feel any better, instead of blogging on my own blog as part of my NaBloPoMo I went on and on in your comments and completely forgot about posting yesterday! Oh well!
