2. Heya Catch.
:hi:

I have a long term (R) in the house who is being contested this year by a relatively unknown dem. I think Obama has the coattails to bring the coveted youth vote out in the fall and sweep the old guy out of there. If this happens in enough places, we could have such a solid house and senate that we would be free to draft more progressive legislation than we can imagine. I don't see Hillary drawing the same excitement.

My 81 word caucus bid for you.

When do you vote?

3. Hillary Clinton's health care plan is the far superior plan....
with 49 million americans uninsured this is an issue that needs to be addressed. Not only is it a health care crisis it is an economic crisis.

15. what we need is a national health system paid by the government
free at the point of use. No prescription charges for seniors or unemployed or low income families and disabled. Yes, the more you earn the more you pay to the government. Soemone has to decide whether you want a state health system or a federal health system.

Are you telling me that this government CANNOT afford to fund its nation's healthcare yet it can borrow billions to play around in the middle east?

4. For Hillary.
"Hillary is a staunch supporter of the rescue workers from Ground Zero. My cousin is one of them. Sometimes the personal issue makes your decision."

25 on the nose!

6. ok here goes
Hillary Clinton has those in the Military Industrial Complex crapping their drawers. And that is why they hate her so much. Watch MSNBC for evidence.

14. She is on the senate armed services committee, a definate plus.
She authored the Heroes at Home Act that will begin to help service members struggling with post traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. She worked with others in the Senate to pass legislation to increase the military. She will be a real pain in McCain's ass!

17. This is actually very simple
Edited on Fri Feb-15-08 09:04 PM by Perky
More than any other election. This is about our kids and Grandkids. We absolutely need to move beyond the polarized politics of the last generation.

Then I hand you an Obama button.

21. Hillary having been pilloried by the RW slime machine for decades is capable of great retribution...
She's "The One" to put their heads-on-a-pike on 1600 PA Ave.

22. My attempt
Obama has run a brilliant campaign, and Hillary's has been mediocre at best. We need a strong campaigner to beat the GOP hatemongers in November.

25 words exactly. And if I could make my sig image into a campaign button, I'd give it to you right now.
