The Dems, The Republic And The People

I've always been partial to Hillary Rodham Clinton, despite her WASP-ish demeanor and look, she's been blunt, strong and unforgiving in her quest to the White House. Some may interpret her stratagem as edgy or perhaps even a little dirty (in reference to her attempts to low ball Obama in almost all the democratic primaries), but more so she is dedicated and unwavering in her crusade of a new America. But...yes, a but...her issues are teetering between Republican interest and new age Democracy. Hillary is synonymous with universal health care since the Clinton Administration yet her plan is riddled with smidgens of old school Republican policy with "tax credits" as the new money. In theory this works, in reality however, it could get a little shady. These tax credits are based on income and the level of health care is then based accordingly - which "usually" includes dental coverage. The model is based on the policies offered to Congress and acts to mimic the upper tier of economic prosperity to the other 98% of us. The hierarchy of health care will still be very much intact, give or take new regulations and/or restrictions (ie: outlawed discrimination on pre-exisiting conditions), which very well does change the face of insurance. But what if we take it a step further? As intriguing as Hillary's plan is, in all it's novelty and unburdening decor, will the tax credit eliminate the worry of health care despite it's mobility (or portability)? Obama offers subsidiaries to supplement income to reach a higher level of health care for families who choose to do so or who can afford to do so. Much like Hillary, the idea of socialized health care is still in its infancy for Obama too. His plan, his glorious plan, is much more comprehensive detailing each possible faux pas that could happen in this historical shift into realizing the American Dream. He holds employers, big corporations, pharmaceuticals and a list of other big money entities responsible for their affect on the common person. Albeit Hillary deigns the same but Obama's is invigorated hitting on many more key potentialities associated with socialization.

Obama is by far the better candidate although Hillary wouldn't be so bad herself. To me it is a win-win situation but Barack in office would only mean bigger leaps rather than half-steps. John McCain would just be a huge step backwards with his insistence that Iraq needs more soldiers to bunker down other parts of the country and counteract insurgent activity...does that even make sense? Let's get our country further into the trillions in debt and get the U.N to potentially revoke our involvement. Anyway, the point is that Barack Obama leads a multi-lateral approach in addressing the many new problems the Bush Administration has laid upon us, the national debt notwithstanding. I do not want the empty promises of Republicans who cater to lobbyists and hoity-toity corporations exploiting the very corrupt nature of politics. Why don't we try something brand-fucking-new and give the people a voice again. Why don't we pour money into education and not into this war so the teenager and pre-teens don't think shaking their ass is a ticket into wealth and security. WHEN DID A MIRAGE EVER TAKE THE PLACE OF SUBSTANCE? Morality aside, get with it America we are on the dawn of a new world and idiocy is the new packaged (and fat free) form of oppression.
