Am I the only UK Conservative to Support the US Democrats?

Oh yeah....these developments of an Obama administration would be TERRIBLE!!!!

nationalized healthcare in the United States would be HORRIBLE!! Especially for the insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies who are making billions right now at people's expense and completely running the FOR PROFIT healthcare system we have now.
However it might be good for the millions and millions of people in the United States who can't afford health insurance (myself included) so therefore can't afford to visit a doctor or other healthcare professional for years at a time. BUT I suppose nationalized healthcare would be good for all the people with catastrophic diseases like cancer who are usually cut loose by their insurance companies when their medical bills get too high. (In case anyone from the UK doesn't realize this is how the healthcare system currently works in the US)

And a far higher US deficit under Obama???? This is the funniest thing I've read in weeks. Yeah...because the current Republican administration has done a great job in this department even with their Republican Conservative ideology. Last I remember they've run up the largest deficit (dollar wise) in the history of the United States....which incidentally was a small surplus when Bush assumed office in 2001. If and when Obama is elected YES he will have a HUGE deficit to deal with....but every red cent of that deficit is complements of the Bush Administration....and I don't see how anyone elected could possibly do a WORSE job with the deficit than Bush has. And if you want to put it as Conservative versus Liberal handling of the economy....

This current deficit is the largest in history by dollar amount...but NOT by its size relative to the nation’s economic output. The current deficit represents about 4.5% of the Gross Domestic Product. The last two HUGE deficits were during the George H.W. Bush administration and the Reagan administration....both of which we're fairly close in size relative to the nation’s economic output. So with this track record I don't see how its instantly a given that Obama will run up the deficit...I mean the last Democrat in the White House eliminated the Reagan/Bush1 deficit and actually had the US running in surplus.

Do you read what you write? On the one hand you're claiming the deficit under Obama would be lower, yet on the other you're saying he should nationalize healthcare, which would increase it by hundreds of billions a year. Do try to be consistent instead of following the party line to the letter. I've been disgusted every time I had to deal with a government official. I can't believe you'd actually trust your health to the government. I'm personally a Democrat, but I'm not going to vote for anyone who supports protectionism or wants to drastically increase the size of government.

You're not alone in that. I share the same feelings...the Democrat party really isn't left wing...I'd place them at a similar end of the political scale to the Tories.

I remember talking to Alan Duncan who stated that during the '04 elections a few Tory MPs had gone out to the states to campaign for John Kerry as opposed to George Bush.
