RetiredAirForce: Excuse me?! I know all about HIPPA and there is nothing in the law that would keep McCain from releasing his own medical records ... that is what I was stating he should do ... release HIS OWN records.

Progressive6: I agree with you and Red, but right now that low-paying job is a dream job to many of us. I was laid off three times in the past two years and now feel blessed to be working two jobs, neither of which offers benefits. For the first time in my life (and I just turned 50), I am without health care or other benefits. One job pays $7.75/hour and the other pays $20/hour and I grab every hour I can get at either one. That is how life will have to be for now. Do I like working seven days a week? No. Do I wish for an easier life where I did not have to count every penny and juggle bills (old and new)? Yes. Do I feel blessed regardless of my struggles? You'd better believe it!

Yeah, it stinks. However, it is better to know now than later (after you've spent way too much money on Christmas). My prayers go out to all those affected by the closing and especially to those at other plants/businesses that receive no benefit packages.

Palin can't even manage her own family. Why would I want her "a heartbeat away from the presidency"? And I have never understood why McCain won't release his medical records. Personally, I want to know that this man with his rumored out-of-control temper received adequate counseling after all those years as a prisoner of war.

NOT SURE WHERE TO PLACE THIS BIT OF INFORMATION BUT FOUND IT TO BE INTERESTING. ENJOY, EVERYBODY:

As Harpers documented earlier this year, the McCains are true believers in the old saying that charity begins at home:
.
Between 2001 and 2006, McCain contributed roughly $950,000 to [their] foundation. That accounted for all of its listed income other than for $100 that came from an anonymous donor. During that same period, the McCain foundation made contributions of roughly $1.6 million. More than $500,000 went to his kids' private schools, most of which was donated when his children were attending those institutions. So McCain apparently received major tax deductions for supporting elite schools attended by his children.
.
Ironically, the McCain campaign ... blasted Barack Obama for having attended a private school in Hawaii on scholarship. That attack came just weeks after John McCain held an event at his old prep school, Episcopal High, an institution where fees now top $38,000 a year.
