Ok that is a pretty good response. But can you say that your sisters wouldn't appreciate free healthcare? Its not like they're a drain on society, they are both working hard to stay afloat. Another scenario, what about a functional handicap who can't find a job good enough to support his needs...not wants, like going to a titty club every tuesday...but actually needs?

I guess we can keep two related topics in this thread. Lots of people are saying that Palin is too inexperienced to handle the country if McCain "dropped dead" and the common conservative response to that is, "he won't, you're dumb, long live McCain" But, 3 of the past 12 presidents have died in office (.250) and since McCain is an old head, his chances of illness place him at an even higher risk for death. But it doesn't even have to be death...maybe something just bad enough to make his duties as president impossible to handle. So, the situation where Palin is put in charge of this country is not so far fetched, and scares the hell out of me. What i am NOT saying is that Biden would be my choice to take charge if Obama was taken out, but i think i would rather have him of Palin.

The real problem is very, very simple. Also so simple it seems stupid. We need more than two (i know we do but they aren't popular enough) political parties. There are way too many different types of people in this country with different problems to assume that one of two people can answer the majority of them.
