Union Dues

The "McCain equals Bush" strategy is obviously not working, no matter how many times Democratic spokespeople repeat the phrase. I've seen people's eyes glaze over when they start that mantra. In fact, I didn't watch the convention last night because it was so incredibly boring. I'd bet their share was pitiful! Even the Obama fans I know were complaining, so you can bet those who don't support him weren't watching.

To renew the technological base, you have to give industry incentives to retool and update the factories here. Raising taxes on corporate profits won't do that, but that is Obama's innovative economic plan.

No wonder the working stiffs are not falling into ranks behind the democratic candidate. They do not see his plans creating jobs for them, they see his plans creating desk jobs in the growing federal and state agencies that will be necessary to administer the new programs he is proposing. Those are not union jobs.

Did you actually bother to read the Leonhardt article? Cuz it doesn't say what you want it to.

Ted Kennedy, Howard dean, those are intelligent human beings. You go democrats and you better win this election... the whole world is watching!!

Just like bill Maher said... it is not the country that I hate, it is the people... well, of course, except for the intelligent ones.. which is about 35% of the population.

Lol, you mean FAKE change and progress, a guy who has no ideas, who will do exactly what McCain says he's going to do, but do it while telling you a comforting lie in a soothing voice. You need to research Obama's real stand on issues: he'll leave troops in Iraq (because they're needed); he won't do your little commie/socialist plan of giving money to the idiots who bought houses they couldn't afford; he's courting anti-abortion; he doesn't want to overhaul health care. He's a stuffed shirt, and people like you slavishly falling in line behind his media image crack me up. Do you read Oprah's books, too?

The Democrats this year are a freak show. I know I will not be voting Democratic for the first time since I voted at 18 for Jimmy Carter

oh, he looks to black or he looks to white, Oh, i don't like his ears.. Oh, i don't like his shoes... oh, got to vote for the one with white hair and no brains.. so the country can go farther down..
Me?? I vote for a man or woman, no matter how short he or she is, attractive or not he or she is, a being who has the competences, intelligence, energy, enthusiasm, someone who is envrironmentaly and socialy aware. Some one who is not afraid of Change and
progress! Someone who will not bring us back into the dark ages. Obama/Biden 08

And some are ready to vote for a guy who even cannot recall how many houses he owns??? Well for 8 years we had a religious fanatic idiot in the house and now you want a senile one?? you people, must be out of your mind!!

Only the republicans have to be blamed for the mess they created! they have been in power for the past 8 years. Vote smart! Vote for the democrats!

rational Poster. I have a question for you... Who do you think is going to pay for Bushes wars?? Do you think you can just put the bill on a credit card and forget about it?? We owe the chinese billions of dollars.. Yes taxes will have to go up because the war has to be paid for.. Thanks to Bush! Next time you vote, think twice before voting for a war monger!!

I am low middle class and I will never ever identitified myself, with the republican party! I just do not understand how any blue collars can vote for the republican party when they work only for the rich and super rich. It baffles me!! I think a large majority of blue collars need to educate themselves. If you cannot afford school, thanks to the republicans, go on the internet and do some research. The democrats work for the middle class, the poor which we are the majority in this country. What will it take to deprogram you? Oh, I bet you vote republican so you make sure no one will take your guns away?? This is completely stupide. You guns do not define your lives, good politics do!!
