Seems that "Joe" prefers to go to Obama rallies. He wasn't paid to go to the Obama rallies, or maybe he was, by McCain. Still can't understand why a McCain supporter (joe the plumber) was at the Obama rally? No way was he an undecided. No way did his question to Obama affect him as he is one of the people Obama will cut taxes for. Seems like a plant from the McCain camp.

I remember one called The Philadephia Experiment (or Story) that involved an aircraft carrier going back in time. Is this the movie you mean? I also remember it was a really good, riveting story. Nothing like the Saga of the Hapless McCain and it's disheveled (possibly disreputable) ending.

Maybe this was what John was really thinking during his speech!

Matter of record and not a matter of rhetoric....." was priceless. His gaffs and stumbles were too many to remember. Can you imagine McCain at a high level international negotiation introducing the Sec. of State and then discovering the Sec. of State wasn't there. lmao. Poor old John...He sounds like he needs a nap.
I saw this debacle and my jaw literally dropped. I feel sorry for the old man. He's tired and should be somewhere relaxing in Arizona not flying all over the country running for president at his age. The entire campaign is a joke. He needs to quit now.

You people need to give McCain a break. It wasn't easy being alert at today's rally since he stayed up until after 9 last night with Larry King.

I was like you Honey, waiting for him to clutch his chest at any moment. He looks tired and confused. If he's like that now...Imagine if he was elected to the Hardest job in Politics..... Palin would become President within a few months.....

Oh, sure. That 5k allowance for health insurance that I pay $139/m for and my company pays $348/mo>>nontaxable is going to go a long way for me. I get health(prevention/illness/perscriptions/hospitalization/physical therapy/occupational therapy) and dental. That 5K taxable credit McCain is touting result in my company no longer providing the benefit, or decrease the amount it is paying and will have me paying out more if I stay healthy and will bankrupt me if I get ill.

Reminds me of a con-man. "Your house is falling apart, the repairs will cost more than the house is worth, here, let me take it off your hands for $50,000. I'll tear it down and see what I can do to sell the property to recoup my losses." He then sells the property for $5M.

I hear you, Siouxcia. We're currently waiting to hear the company's newest healthcare scalping. We used to pay nothing. Right now it's over 200 a month - prescription plan is a separate scalping.

What about people who can't afford healthcare and earn under the tax threshold?
