Mike, as a health care professional, who wishes some day to make a nice living, how could you ever vote Democratic?
That would be personal professional suicide. To me, there are only two choices, Romney or Giuliani, and Romney appears slicker, so he's more likely to get into less trouble. Before 9/11 Giuliani wasn't very popular, and his policies were very pricey. Romney is loads more intelligent than Bush and loads slicker. Romney is a Republican Clinton apparently without the baggage of slipping up or a lousy wife.

Why? Dems are more likely to increase research funding.

Didn't you hear? This is Romney's new campaign theme song:
I'm a man without conviction, I'm a man who doesn't know how to sell a contradiction. You come and go, you come and go. Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon, you come and go, you come and go.

No Romney and Giuliani will do that, but Dems, through socialized health care will cap how much physicians can earn. So you'd be capped at about 100K, working harder so the increases in funding could pay more administrators.
Look at every government project and a huge portion of funding goes, not into the activity itself, but administrators. I have an anecdote of a small hospital for which I work in Nevada, that had forty administrators doing the job of what the private organization uses three person, saving more than 4 million dollars in total costs per month. You are deceived if you believe Democratic government projects are ever efficient or paying the correct people.

In order to remain objective one must be flexible, movable, willing to think their way through issues and have the courage to admit when they are wrong. I'd say Mitt Romney is highly principled. |

The change came much later ... only a couple of years ago. Also, as long as we're splitting hairs, it should be noted it was made by his wife rather than him, and that it was no more than $150, which the Romneys earn in about 1.72 seconds. I'm not a Romney supporter yet, but I do see this as much ado about not much.

And what is a politician? A screw job by a whore without the happy ending.

I don't know if that's true, Archaea. NIH is at historically-low levels of funding due to this administration. I've been researching the candidates and I've seen nothing to indicate Romney or Giuliani plan to change the funding trend established by Bush.
