8 More Shocking Revelations About Sarah Palin | Election 2008 | AlterNet
Note: FTP:" Officials of the Alaskan Independence Party say that Palin was once so independent, she was once a member of their party, which since the 1970s has been pushing for a legal vote for Alaskans to decide whether or not residents of the 49th state can secede from the United States. And while McCain's motto -- as seen in a new TV ad -- is "Country First," the AIP's motto is the exact opposite -- "Alaska First - Alaska Always."~~~~~~~There's 7 more

McCain's Health Plan Only Works If You Don't Get Sick | Health and Wellness Part 1 | AlterNet

Note: FTP: The plan is naive, at best, and probably disingenuous when it insists that we can coax these corporations, which are listed on the stock exchange and exist to maximize profit, to transform themselves into social service agencies that will provide adequate health care for all Americans.~~~~~~~I want with all my heart for him to win this election, but he's got to get his act together with this one.
