    I have just two questions for Palin/McCain: Are you serious about leading the most powerful nation on earth? Why does your campaign inspire so much hatred and ignorance?

    This article by itself was nothing more than trivia thrown together and placed in a newspaper. A number of comments there and here tell me that there is a bit more educating that needs to be done.

    The records that kpr0151 is demanding are either available online, have been seen (thus having been released), or are confidential and would violate certain statutes if ever released in the manner that he (or she) want. I seem to remember that Obama released his medical records; all one page of them (at least John Stewart made light of it on his show).

    By the way, when is John McCain going to release his birth certificate, his school records, or his medical records. And I mean that reporters need full access to them, and be able to take recording devices with them when they examine the records.

    Obama's health care plan and his tax plan will cripple the economy and job situation in this country like nothing you have ever imagined.
    Employers forced to give health care will trim down their workforce, cut wages, and raise the cost to consumers to pay for it, and they will maintain their profits at our expense.
    The same goes for their tax hike.
    Wake up America. Socialism never worked anywhere else and it won't work here either.

    Lets all open our eyes to what is happening to our country , we are daily loosing our freedoms through back door legislation. Soon the only true place of freedom will be between our ears! So far we have the Patriot Act, I shudder to think of what the next president will enact. STOP believing the PROPAGANDA the popular vote does not matter -- the president is elected by the electoral college in January and the electors are FREE to choose whoever they want. We as a nation need to look at the big picture - ALL the candidates are GLOBALIST working diligently to unify the world under one dictatorial government where we will have NO FREEDOM -- America the country we were raised to love is DYING!! SPEAK UP NOW!! or there will be no America to speak of. I fear that my very young children will grow up in a country where they will be put in PRISON for not agreeing with the establishment. We are sadly headed full steam into a future similar to that Germany in the early 1930s --
