McCain, Cheney - Socialized hypocrites?
While John McCain criticizes Obama and Clinton for their 'socialized medicine' advocacy, one must ask whether or not he is a beneficiary of Medicare or has taken advantage of VA benefits when he returned from captivity in Vietnam. We might also wonder if Dick Cheney has been taking advantage of Medicare during his many trips to the hospital for heart-related problems. It must be that it's "socialized medicine" if it's for the other guy, but it's just fine for self-reliant people like me.
