McCain likely to be outspent in election
http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSN0840438620080509?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews&rpc=69&sp=true

McCain raised $77 million through the end of March, campaign finance records show. Obama raised $235 million by that point, while Clinton raised $189 million.

Sectors like finance and real estate that traditionally favor Republicans have given more to both Democrats this time, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

And a larger portion of the Democrats' money has come from donations of $200 or less -- a sign of widespread support.

Hillary: Sorry, babe - it's over. Get back to work in the Senate; it's time to think about your own legacy and finally achieve what you set out to do so long ago. If you want to leave a mark on history that's more significant than being the lesbian wife of the Prez that got a blow-job in the oral office then start on the legislative proposal that effects that universal healthcare recommendations discussed over here:

Barack: Dude, get to work on making your largely vacuous rhetoric meaningful. While it's true that the Prez doesn't actually pass legislation he can take a leadership position in what he wants to see on his desk and veto everything else in the meanwhile. And as the devil is often in the details, as the chief law enforcer in the land you can take an instrumental position in creating the correct administrative apparatus to run projects like universal healthcare in a manner that ensures its success. I'm going to assume you will do little to damage corporate america, change IP law, reform the financial sector or change the monetary system - so all I ask for is this: as commander in chief please make the decision to get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan. You've already suggested a timetable for Iraq, just follow through...

McCave: You're a flip-flopping whore capable of saying anything to get the nomination and now doing the same to get the office. Hopeless and sad. You've been played. Game over.

Saw a McCain ad the other day, his innovative plan to cut health care cost is to start importing drugs.

That's what it said.

I do wonder that Mccain, being that he is older, in fact old enough to retire...if he would be good for retirees?

he did say to import RXs from Canada.

--it already occurs. but - not for controlled rxs.

the premise is the drugs are cheaper due to lighter liabilty law. well- didnt we just change that here?

this issue floors me! the companies can outsource labor and materials, such as to make a pill. but we the consumer dare not import a needed rx from the cheapest source. the BS about they are not safe- isnt valid. since base chemicals already come from elsewhere.

the industry is soon adding RFIDs to each pill- supposedly for safety but- 1 result will be that EVERY PILL IS TRACKABLE.

of course- the lawyers have their hands in the till as well.

Problem with tagents being,that when you take out the binders to do thing like distill meth from ephedra-no trace of that agent remains. Though it would be nice to be able to use siezed meth and track back the sorce supplier. Better yet-add an otherwise harmless agent into ephedrin products that would interefere with making it into meth in rather nasty ways-like making the distilling agents explode.
