Oh & since all of Sperlings proposals heinge on 5% interest & in many places 2.5% is now the norm, what’s his answer to that malady? 40% tax on cap gains? Gotta get that money from somewhere.

What, you don’t think 5 per cent is reaonable over a forty year period?
Which you didn’t mention, by the way.
Are you opposed to poor or middle income working families being a part of the investor class?

And 'progressive' is not a dirty word. The opposite of is regressive. Debating against McCain's ecomomic plans are simple. All he offers are tax cuts for the wealthiest. We have the past seven years as a template to offer as evidence. Chris XP – I wouldn’t and don’t sweat conservatives like you appear to. And ‘progressive’ is not a dirty word.

For me it's not just about Hillary. I do not like or trust Obama. If we were talking about Edwards, I would "fall in line" As for Iran, well I supposed we could do the Hope-y Change-thing with them and just tell them that it's not really nice to nuke the world. Gently of course. That should work. Furthermore, there is no doubt in my mind that barack "I am not against ALL wars" obama intends not to end the war at all, but instead to reverse the direction of the guns for his friends who have supported him handily with money and even Hamas endorsements. You are a sucker. That's why adults don't let radicals and children pick presidents. See you don’t understand what you don’t want to understand. For me it’s not just about Hillary.

Obama will be our nominee. . . and you guys are BITTER indeed! 'Fascism'??? Why was Hillary 'honored' to be running with Obama? She has praised him lavishly on occasion and she WILL support him as our candidate (she may be VP)! But her recent talk of NUKING IRAN has started to scare me! Aren't you concerned about THAT? NICE!

By Clinton's own acknowledgement, the primary difference between their health care plans is the mandate. I believe that Obama would have MUCH LONGER coattails (yes, even in 'Red States'), more goodwill I know THREE 'Obamacans' personally- as well as Lincoln Chafee, Eisenhauer, etc. WHich prominent Republicans support Clinton? I have employer provided Health Care. It's a VERY GOOD plan, but still sucks compared to 'Single Payer'- which NEITHER candidate is promising! Edwards had the BEST plan (and I was an Edwards supporter), but Obama has the BEST CHANCE to get it done! And do you REALLY think Pres. Obama would veto Hillary's plan if she were majority leader?!?!? Remember, the Clintons had 8 years to reform health care and they couldn't get it done! Now her surrogates (like Schumer) are downplaying expectations for her plan! PLEASE!!!! We shouldn't give up before we even get into the White House!

That kind of argument works well over a Kos though. Why don't you go there. People here don't forget those details. Just sayin'. The problem is, Barry lost all four. That's because beyond YES WE CAN! and "Hope-y Change-y" he has no details to off other than to bounce off Hillary's ideas. And even then he can't get it right. His faux 'health care' reform is worthless. He's going to save everybody $2500 a year on single pay policies for their familes that cost $18k or more. Hell even John McCain will give them that. Like you, he is out of touch with reality. Do your parents pay for your health care? Or do you think your school or employer is going to do it forever with your little co-pay. Fifty million people learned the way you will learn one day. But don't let that stop you from going to the next rally. But as a small assignment, crack open a history book and find how many charismatic leaders who offered nothing but words took their sycophants straight to hell.

I mean, I get it! Hillary has mandates in her Health Care Plan, Obama does not. . . BOTH have merits and I'm sure they could come up with a comprimise plan (especially with Hillary as VP or Majority Leader)! Actually, the front runner ALWAYS wants fewer debates (look at Clinton versus Dole in 1996!!!) It's desperation on the part of the Clinton camp (and a way to get free TV time). When 'debates' include inane questions about 'flag pins' and the moderators DEBATING the candidates over Capital Gains Cuts, we KNOW they have officially jumped the shark!!!
