More National Guard records

This logic seems a double standard. You're saying the military made a mistake by issuing 3 purple hearts that Kerry didn't deserve, letting him off the hook early. But the military couldn't possibly have made a mistake honorably discharging Dubya? The facts show that he did not complete his duty. Hell he didn't even fly an airplane for the last 2 years of his guard commitment. I think its possibly the military made a mistake here as well. You guys ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS use this retort: "So the national guard isn't honorable!? Blasphemy!!" STOP TWISTING LOGIC. You're USUALLY misinterpreting the truth that GEORGE BUSH did not serve honorably.

Trying to desperately portray Kerry as a better leader by using his service record has been a FAILURE. Give up.

alright we want to debate four years from now not the past lets go. No jobs, Great Depression, No Health care at least Iraq is free though. The only thing that could make me cry is 4 more years of that. At least people that make $200,000 or more a year will get a tax break though.

Great Depression?!? What the hell are you talking about? We have had 10 straight quarters of economic growth, coming on the heels of the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor. The economy has created 1,500,000 jobs in the last year alone. And EVERYONE'S taxes were lowered under Bush's tax cuts. So you have no legs left to stand on... unless you really think that government-provided health care is a winner of an issue - which most Americans do not.
 
Sadams weapons were destroyed 12 years ago but Bush seems to be stuck in the past as well. Why can we only bring up the past if it makes the Great Dbya look good but as soon as he looks dumb well thats in the past let it go, how lame.
 
gop_jeff what are you talking about we have the worst job loss in 75 YEARS. That is not growth sorry I think my legs are fine nice try though.

Health care is important to me I don't have a rich dad like dbya to pay for everything and save me when things go wrong.

Obviously, it was not Bush who brought up the past in the case of Kerry's war record. If the GOP really wanted to discuss the past, we would be talking about Kerry's post Viet Nam actions and his senatorial voting record.

Health care is important to me too, but I dont expect every one else in the country to pay for my care. Again, there is a certain amount of personal responsibility involved. One could arrange to spend his money assuring his health care, among other things.
 
I have a job and I'm glad for it and I have health care but it costs me what I think a small family should cost. Please don't get hostil we are just having a friendly chat.
 
CSM good point very good point but you have to agree that I should be able to go to the doctor without having a gunshot wound and not make payments for the rest of my life.

Ok so where are your charts? The ones that show the unenployment rate in the catastrophic downward spiral and the one showing the average income hurtling towards the bottomless pits?

I find it ironic that folks will accuse the current administration of fear mongering by talking about the terrorist threats to this country and then turn around and try to instill the fear of a collapsing economy, and failed health care system in the US voter. No hypocrisy there, eh?

Actually, if you had a gunshot wound and went to the emergency room, they more than likely would treat you enough to at least keep you alive. I would agree that they might not replace the eye that you shot out with your Red Ryder BB gun. The use of you here is the generic you, not you personally.

The underlying question is: who should pay for the treatment? If you think the cost of health care is high, to what do you attribute those costs?
