Make available if you complete a series of tasks such as fill out lengthy - complicated paper work that requires unavailable information (such as empoyment codes and/ or a place of residence for a given period of time as well as references that may not exist) and would be problematic for many of th...

"Obama and Biden will make available a new national health plan to all Americans, including the self-employed and small businesses, to buy affordable health coverage that is similar to the plan available to members of Congress." I know that "affordable" is generic, but you can't...

Pssst! You've posted that half a dozen times now, I got it.
Sorry, you came across as someone who hadn't actually read his plan.

How is "make available" legal jargon? I don't see how you can take anything from "make available" except that they will "make it available" Generically speaking - sure, it's available. But at what cost, and could people actually afford it? "Obama and Biden will ma...

I would like to compare MY FEHBP with McCain/Obama FEHBP plan!!!! I'm no expert on fed employment benefits but it sounds like your FEHBP should be the same as their FEHBP plan: "The benefit package will be similar to that offered through Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP), the p...

I want the same health care benefits John McCain has. (And Obama for that matter) If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me. [snip] If ALL these politicians say they care about the middle class (me) , I want the same deal they have. Am I asking for too much ? :lol: :lol: [smilie=thatwor...

Apparently it's now off-limits to satirize Sarah Palin on SNL: Carly Fiorina, spokeswoman for McCain, had this to say today: "Well, I think that she looked a bit like her. I think that, of course, the portrait was very dismissive of the substance of Sarah Palin, and so in that sense, they were...

If he was going to be "hard hitting" and "unfair" to her, why did she pick him to do the interview? She basically had her pick of where to go, and who to do the interview, why'd she pick him? It's not like every network wasn't chomping at the bit to get the first exclusive. Or w...

O'Reilly edited his interview with Obama. It's normal.

He was saying that the next eventual president will be either McCain or Obama, not a third party candidate.

Anybody catch SNL last night? I turned it on to see Michael Phelps, but the opening was a Hilary/Palin skit. Tina Fey absolutely had Palin down perfectly, especially the accent. But after the first five minutes, the rest of that show was pretty much unwatchable. A chuckle or two during Weekend Upda...

Re: SNL

SNL is going to have a field day with their season opener tomorrow. I hear Tina Fey is going to be on, obviously playing Palin and Obama will also be on. Just heard Obama canceled, in light of the approaching hurricane. That's good to hear... that comes off as a dedicated leadership quality :) SNL ...

Joe Biden already stated (to Anderson Cooper sometime back) that HE had no idea what the Bush Doctrine was. I thought THAT was odd, since, he's not only a candidate for Vice President, but a SITTING U.S. SENATOR. albeit, from Delaware Just so you know, I'm still waiting on some proof of this. I sea...
