Are you as perplexed and frustrated with the current primaries and candidates as I am? As I look around and see and hear plenty of things that make no sense at all. Just when I thought I have seen it all, I come across some VERY interesting information about John McCain. From an article on WorldNetDaily.com, dated Feb 12, 2008 the journalist Jerome Corsi writes this:

"As Sen. John McCain assumes the GOP front-runner mantle, his long-standing, but little-noticed association with donors such as George Soros and Theresa Heinz Kerry is receiving newe attention among his Republican critics. . ." Whoah!!!!!! You mean THE George Soros who is the creator of the ultra leftist "MoveOn.com" crowd??? Yep, the same guy. And zillionaire Theresa Heinz Kerry, liberal wife of John Kerry is a big time McCain backer too. As the article goes on, it also names Arriana Huffington, new-age leftist, as a backer of McCain.

Mr. Corsi continues to write: "In 2001 McCain founded the Alexandria, Va-based Reform Institute as a vehicle to receive funding from George Soros' Open Society Institute and Theresa Heinz Kerry's Tides Foundation and several other prominent non-profit organizations.

Why would leftists such as Soros, Kerry, and Huffington be backing McCain with their money? Generally you fund the people you believe in. We know these people have been backing Clinton and Obama. It must be that they are backing McCain because he is promising to do what they believe in. How interesting. What you do with this information is your business, but I think it's important to have this information available.

For more information about the leftists who are backing both political parties, please look up on the web The New York Times article from March 8, 2005 entitled, "MCain Allies Want Reform (And Money) by Carl Hulse and Anne E. Kornblut.

On to other (somewhat related) items: Have you seen the recent ads on TV around here for Obama and Hillary Clinton? They both promise "universal health care." That's translated, "The Federal Government will take over all health care in this country."

I have several questions for this issue.

Do you believe I should have the freedom to select my own doctor or doctors and pay for their treatment out of my own pocket? (This is America after all). I believe everyone should have this freedom. However, under Hillary Clinton's Health Care Bill of 1993, it would be a CRIME under Federal Penalty to choose your own doctor and pay for the treatment yourself! That's right! Furthermore, you and your doctor would be fined and/or IMPRISONED if you went outside your own "health care alliance" and tried to get your own treatment without Federal "approval." Sounds orwellian to me.

Is Federal health care supposed to save us money? Yeah, right. They said this back in the 1960's when Lyndon Johnson said that the Fed. Gov't could eliminate poverty with all the Gov't programs. Forty years later, and 4 or 5 TRILLION dollars later, with Medicare/medicaid and all the gov't sponsored programs we still have just as poverty if not more.
If you think health care is expensive now, wait till it's "free!" You will see lines of people coming in for free health care for every little hang nail and sniffle. Don't believe me? Go to numerous ER's in major metropolitan hospitals and you'll see I'm telling the truth.

If something goes wrong with my treatment, whom could I sue? You can't sue the Federal government!!!! If the Federal Government owns my health care, and they mess up in my treatment, oops, too bad, I'm stuck. There is no recourse. Check out what happens in the paradise of the Canadian and British health care systems.

Remember, if the Federal Gov't controls your health care, they control YOU. From now on, if you do not "toe the mark" with their marching orders, the gov't will have the capability to deny you access to health care. Is this what free citizens want?

Tell me what you think,
