If you know you are going to vote anti-bush next year, but that is the only reason you can think of to defend your vote for the Democratic forerunner, than it's time for you to go rent SICKO. Hillary is out there everyday putting herself in the line of fire defending our rights to equal and just medical care.
And if you are leaning towards Obama, don't back down. Stand up for what you believe! Obama can talk the talk and walk the walk, and let me tell you from a female perspective, the man is smooth. Just because he has only been in the Senate for eight years, does not mean he does not have enough experience. Guilani was only mayor of New York for seven years. That's it. That's all of the government experience he's got and it looks like he's got the Republican party wrapped around his 9x11 inch finger. Denver elected a bar-owner (Wynkoop) their mayor. Come on.... I'd be proud to stand behind Obama as he continues to forge his fight for cleaner air and water.
Remember it's really all about the cabinet as they are our "most trusted advisors." We need to start cleaning up this infallable, incomprehesible mess the current administration has drop kicked our @sses into.
Check this out:
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- President Bush vetoed legislation Tuesday funding federal health and education programs, marking the latest turn in an ongoing budget fight with the Democratic-led Congress.
"The bill is nearly $10 billion over the president's request and is filled with 2,000 earmarks. He will call on Congress to take out the pork and reduce the overall spending level and return it to him quickly," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino told reporters aboard Air Force One as Bush traveled to Indiana to deliver a speech on the budget.
Democrats said Bush lacks credibility on budget issues. The $606 billion bill -- which would provide funding for the departments of labor, health and human services, and education -- passed the House of Representatives just three votes short of a veto-proof majority.
House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey, D-Wis., said that the package cleared the House with the votes of 50 Republicans and that Bush was playing "pure politics."
"The same president who is asking us to spend another $200 billion on the misguided war in Iraq and is insisting on providing $60 billion in tax cuts next year to folks who make over a million bucks a year, is now pretending to protect the deficit by refusing to provide a $6 billion increase to crucial domestic investments in education, health care, medical research and worker protections that will make this country stronger," Obey said.
Bush also signed into law legislation that funds the Pentagon's $471 billion non-war defense budget.
So in conclusion - GO RENT SICKO - burn copies of it for Christmas and pass it out to all your friends... Hillary has a plan!!

I've just signed a petition to the 2008 presidential candidates asking them to go on the record and tell us exactly where they stand on fighting extreme poverty and global disease.
You can take action on this important cause too by visiting http://www.one.org/ontherecord
Thank you!! I just signed the petition.
while ron paul is both a texan and a member of the republican party (yet is more of a libertarian)...he is an awesome candidate for 2008...if he is somehow miraculously elected during the republican primaries, I will definitely vote republican on the presidential ballot for the first time ever....check out ronpaul2008.com, he is not for socialized medicine, but believes that the HMOs are ruining our health care system, and need to be eliminated. Hilary's quote about kevorkian in sicko is classic by the way...but michael moore's style of documenting leaves a lot to be desired.
