This should be popular in Florida: "John McCain would pay for his health plan with major reductions to Medicare and Medicaid...The Republican presidential nominee has said little about the proposed cuts, but they are needed to keep his health-care plan 'budget neutral,' as he has promised."

Krugman says, "the McCain plan would do for health care what deregulation has done for banking."

" Despite dropping the groundbreaking bombshell story of "Palestinian" brothers from the Rafah refugee camp in Gaza who donated $33,000 to Obama's campaign, no big media picked up the story. Jihadis donating to Obama from Gaza? Could there be a bigger story? Foreign donations are illegal, but this story was all that and so much more. The "Palestinian" brothers were proud and vocal of their "love" for Obama. Their vocal support on behalf of "Palestinians" spoke volumes to Obama's campaign."

It gets better..

' Half a million dollars had been donated from overseas by unidentified people "not employed".

Digging deeper, all sorts of very bizarre activity jumped at us. Dr and JJ continued to break it down and pull data from various sources. We found Rebecca Kurth contributed $3,137.38 to the Obama Campaign in 112 donations, including 34 separate donations recorded in one day,

How about this gibberish donor on the 30th of April in 2008.

A donor named Hbkjb, jkbkj

City: Jkbjnj Works for: Kuman Bank (doesn't exist)

Occupation: Balanon Jalalan Amount: $1,077.23

or the donor Doodad, The # of transactions = 1,044

The $ contributed = $10,780.00

This Doodad character works for FDGFDGF and occupation is DFGFDG '

Way to comment on the subject of the thread, Fred.

So ... posters here all happy with their health care coverage ?

Note that the health care industry is a booming one over the last 10 years, I think 10 % yoy.

Has your coverage 'boomed' to ?

Mine hasn't but I'll save the details ...

As someone who has actually lived in the Middle East and, gasp, been invited by Palestinians to dinner in their homes, I just want to say that Fred is making quite a leap by equating the unfortunate residents of the Rafah refugee camps with jihadis.

Sure, it sucks to live in Rafah, and I'm sure Fred wouldn't put up with it. But. not every Palestinian is out to wreak havoc on America. And it is a symptom of bigotry to assume so.

Almost all Palestinians go about their daily lives trying to do what we Americans do: Getting the kids to schools, buying grocers, cooking dinner, dealing with relatives, worrying about the cost of living.

Come to think of it, almost all of conservatism these days is a symptom of bigotry.

Palestinians do not like our political policies because the state of israal has boundaries that are remarkably coincident with the once and future state of Palestine.

But, in my experience, the first question from any Palestinian I met was if I could help them get a visa so they could visit their family in the states.

As for Mr. Gregory's cource, Thomas Lifson, Editor and Publisher, had this to say about how cunning and brilliant George W. Bush was back in '04. How'd that turn out for you?

He also once accused a right-wing blogger of using an anti-semitic code word. The word? Neoconservative.
