My father and I got into an argument in the doctor's office about liberal "socialism," as he calls it, versus his good old-fashioned, home spun conservative party. He went on to rant about how Obama is just a "slick talker" with nothing to offer but higher taxes. Then, a few minutes later, the doctor asked him if he was going to continue taking his respiratory medicine and Dad shook his head woefully and said, "I just can't afford it if it's not generic. The damn health care system is making it harder and harder to get along." OK, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? How can a political party be supported by the most affluent and those at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder? How can someone look at Cindy McCain and say, "the McCain's understand the little guy - he's my man!" I'm losing my mind over this! Somebody, help me understand!
