I have to say I am stumped. I am not crazy about any of the primary candidates. There are things I don't like about pretty much every one of them...except Fred Thompson. And I don't see him getting the nomination. I would like to vote for him in the primary, but I don't want to take votes away from someone who could actually beat McCain or even Huckabee - can you believe he is actually a contender? All I can think of when I see him is Jimmy Carter with a "R" after his name. But McCain?!? Yikes! I can't imagine him as president. He has a serious anger management problem. So who do you like, on either side, and why? I am truly undecided, but I am a registered republican so I have to vote in that primary.

I just can't wait for universal healthcare!
How about you? We can all enjoy the same availability of substandard healthcare just like they do in Great Britain!
The following article shows what we have to look forward to:
How doctors lie on death certificates to hide the true scale of the toll from hospital infections
By SUE REID
Joan Horne once worked for the National Health Service. In her day the wards were scrubbed with bleach, while nurses washed their hands with soap and water before caring for a patient. If not, a strict matron wanted to know why.
She has never forgotten the golden era of the NHS. So when 78-year-old Joan watched Edwin, her husband of 37 years, die after catching a deadly superbug at her local hospital, she began a fight for justice.
Just before Christmas, a tape recorder in her hand, she marched off to Barnsley Hospital in Yorkshire and forced managers to admit that not only had Edwin contracted a lethal infection called Clostridium difficile (C. diff) as a patient, but that doctors failed to declare the truth on his death certificate.
Joan said: "I fear this kind of cover-up is happening at hospitals all over the country. I miss Edwin terribly, but the way we lost him and dishonesty by the hospital about the real cause of his death has made it all much worse for me and my family. I was desperate to bring Edwin home. The hospital was dirty. I found a used syringe under the bed, soiled cotton wool pads left on his floor and there were human faeces smeared on the door. Looking back, it is no surprise he caught a superbug."
