Last week I spoke with with a fellow Democrat about Senator Clinton. He was surprised to learn that I would, under almost no circumstances, vote for her in either the primary or general election.

"Rather extreme viewpoint, don't you think?" he said.

You know the electoral process in the United States is dysfunctional when it's considered "extreme" for a Democrat to refuse to vote for someone with a proven track-record of supporting the Republican agenda.

For those of you who are still thinking of supporting Clinton in the primary, here's an entertaining video from BlueGal which should change your mind. Enjoy:

And for the record - John Edwards is my favorite so far.

Healthcare plan for America: Don't Get Sick.

Paul -V- — Wed, 27 Sep 2006 09:53:51 -0400

Last night, while recovering from allergies and wishing I could afford a doctors' visit in order to obtain a prescription for an asthma inhaler* - it occurred to me the perfect solution for America's current healthcare crisis: Dont' Get Sick.

Hear me out - the Don't Get Sick plan will work! It guarantees healthcare for all citizens, yet does not require politicians to risk offending their corporate masters.

By not getting sick and avoiding accidents, Americans can ensure that they will not lose their financial nest egg. By not getting sick, the working class can keep paying premiums, but not force insurance companies to pay for doctors or medicine. By not getting sick, we can prevent people from dying while haggling with the claims department to fund a critical operation.

Since citizens won't be needing life-saving medicine, operations, check-ups or blood-tests; the cost of healthcare will be practically zero. A price everyone can afford!

Best of all, the Not Getting Sick Plan puts the responsibility of the broken healthcare system squarely where it belongs: on the backs of the poor.

So call your congressperson today, and demand they implement the Don't Get Sick plan.

* I'm one of the uninsured. I don't think I could afford the inhaler either, but it would have been a start.
