liberal media sucks. hire a conservative.
When it comes to foreign policy, McCain is from Mars, Obama is from … Earth.
liberal media sucks. hire a conservative.
careerdaytrader, spoken like a true republican, one who can only muster ignorant comments based on flamemail, flameposts, republican fear, smear and hype. mccain will put the final nail in the coffin of what was once a great nation, but hold on to your ignorance, it fits you well!
I'm ignorant? You Democrats think Exxon pays LITTLE taxes but paid 10.5 billion last quarter!
You all feel YOU pay all the taxes when top 10% of income earners pay 2/3 ! Not only are you stupid you don't even pay YOUR fair share. You are utterly worthless to this economy!
Yes. You are ignorant. Among other things.
WOW you are a tool
Is this the forum for bigots? Oh, good - I'm in the right place.
I'm done here. careerdaytrader, thanks for once again affirming what has gone wrong with our country and the things and, especially, people we need to change to make America a country that other people can look up to for integrity and fairness. The voters will decide in November, then you'll see that you're just one shrill voice in a sea of hysterical brainwashed hyper-conservatives, surrounded by caring people, AMERICANS, that want to make things better for EVERYONE in this country, not just the rich and ignorant.
You won't be seeing any more posts from me on this page, but I'll be around.
If McCain becomes president, be sure it is the beginning of the end.
No its the RESUMPTION of America that those of us who are intelligent, hard working, and SUCCESSFUL LOVE so much. It's a REJECTION of socialist and complete and utter Obama Bullshit!
I will laugh so hard at all you dumb crying Democrats on that day. And if Obama wins I'm taking my business off shore and will try to get thousands other business people to do so to. Screw your thieves, if you want heath insurance pay for it yourself! If you want to end poverty then have a law that says you need to make $30k to have 1 kid, $50k to have 2, etc. It would reduce poverty 70% in 20 years!
Please do take your business offshore. We don't need morons like you in this country.
Don't wuss out and back off your word like a true republican, show some backbone. When Obama wins, leave MY country and don't come back.
Nah I and other smart people who are already paying 70 to 90% of the taxes in this country will do what we can to minimize it. I'll report $150k to $200k income and pay far more than MY fair share. I'll then have my offshore company collect the rest of the money, invest it overseas, probably at Dukascopy in Switzerland.
But I'll live here, I have a nice house and life and enjoy it here. When things become a disaster and you all lose your jobs due to Obama's higher taxes but LESS TAXES RECEIVED and the budget deficit explodes even more I will just have to laugh at you all. You caused your own PAIN.
Things aren't that bad now!
Manufacturing jobs ARE going overseas because they SHOULD. Why should we pay anybody, whether they are US citizen or not $70,000 a year when a laborer in China will do it for $600 a year? That big screen you bought at Walmart cost you $895 but if made in the US and with the unions would cost $3,000 to $5,000. Those who worked manufacturing need to learn new skills and get the jobs available now.
Farmers complained at the turn of the century and then they adapted. That's how a robust economy works you idiots.
Make up your mind, you're flip-flopping like a fish in a hot boat. Are you leaving or staying if Obama wins? I'm hoping for your departure. Take the rest of the nutjob neocon rich boys with you.

You want to be taken seriously, yet you post information from Fox News?
yes...we all know that newsweek is far more reputable. and msnbc with keith "i'm totally in love with barrack obama" olberman
Newsweek has been bought by the Obama campaign through a hefty advertising contract.
Newsweek doesn't dare jeopardize that with even a hint of anti-obama journalism.
When Obama loses, Newsweek loses because their credibility will be lost.
Newsweek NEVER had any credibility BEFORE!
Wait, this is the same magazine that has KKKarll Rove as a contributing writer. You can't have it both ways, so which is it, no credibility, or only credible when Rove has a column?
I may be a Republican but I don't believe everything my party tells me either. The things he says you object to I just don't care about one way or another. Such as pro choice which I am, another issue of some people taking personal responsibility and don't get accidentally pregnant and others who are not careful or responsible. I'm not going to vote for the Democrats for this issue since its something people CAN prevent on their own plus the Democrats have such bad economic policies!
Whatever. I have work to do.
I knew crack babies would grow up! Look one that watches Fox!
Can you rebut the dates and individuals in the above piece using another source then?[no.It cannot be leftist or liberal as you are dismissing FOXs veracity because you deem it conservative].
Not conservative, fascist. Conservatives were by and large drummed out of the party over the last 20 years.
You are being hysterical. FOX is as ''fascist''as you probably are.
But this said,no-one is refuting the above list. You people wasted your time on pinhead partisan attacks rather then doing your homework. Very well then. I will do it for you.
The above list did not originate from FOX News.
It comes from:
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS [Used dependably by NEWSWEAK]
CBS NEWS.[Obama partisans are using their post-convention poll as something to crow about]
The Federal Bureau of Investigation.[which has been protecting Obama in Denver and investigating alleged plots against him for the past several days in Denver].
But no ''FOX''.
www.wcbstv.com [New York City,CBS Affiliate,June 03,2007:''List Of Foiled Terrorist Plots Since 9/11''.
Correct
If Michelle & Barack would simply admit they were wrong, that would be some change I could believe in.
Back on November 22, 2005, Michelle & Barack Obama gave a speech at the Chicago Council on Foreign Relations about the Bush administration claims that Iraq wanted to acquire yellowcake uranium for use with nuclear weapons.
???The President told the American people about Iraqi attempts to acquire yellow cake during the State of the Union. The Vice-President made statements on national television expressing certainty about Iraq???s nuclear weapons programs. Secretary Rice used the words ???mushroom cloud??? over and over again.
We know now that even at the time these unequivocal statements were made, intelligence assessments existed that contradicted these claims. Analysis from the CIA and State Department was summarily dismissed when it did not help the Administration make the case for war.??? Well, it???s been a week since the AP broke the news, ???US removes uranium from Iraq,??? but I can???t seem to find a mea culpa from Obama in the media. According to the AP story???
???The removal of 550 metric tons of ???yellowcake??? - the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment - was a significant step toward closing the books on Saddam???s nuclear legacy. It also brought relief to U.S. and Iraqi authorities who had worried the cache would reach insurgents or smugglers crossing to Iran to aid its nuclear ambitions.???
Pretty significant in light of Obama???s comment back then. If Michelle & Barack would simply admit they were wrong, that would be some change I could believe in.

Don???t Forget 9/11 was an inside job too!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqtKR_BrELU
yeah right no WMD have been found in Iraq, where do you get your news fox?
Hillary voted for the war. Kerry voted for the war, Biden voted for the war. In fact 58 PERCENT of Democrats voted FOR the war. If you are against it, you are ALSO against the vast majority of your own party.
Yeah, Bush really duped a lot of people didn't he? He duped you, so I guess you're lumped in with all those Democrats, right?
Oh , wait, you're still buying the Republican line, so that puts you in a whole other class of stupid.
No I really don't care. Getting rid of Hussein was a good thing!
When we get rid of the CURRENT Hussein I will be even happier!
When you say "Get rid of the CURRENT Hussein", you mean by putting him in office? Because John McCain cannot and will not win this election. He doesn't have a prayer. Mark my words and get ready to eat some crow.
Its amazing that some people are so eager to believe Bush's lies that they STILL believe them, even after the Liar in Chief has himself abandoned and repudiated them (of course, still refusing to admit they were actually lies... according to him, all those falsehoods were just a little misunderstanding; so sorry for the thousands who were killed, but I'm sure they would understand...these things happen!).
The only thing I can believe from liberals they say themselves is they do not like us americans at all. They do not like the USA! They wage discrimination campaigns against common every-day Americans. Their elitism is real AND dis-honesty!
Wage discrimination? Elitism? Dishonesty? Yes, there has been a lot of those things during the last 8 years, but none were compliments of the liberals. The conservative movement destroyed labor unions (goodbye good wages and affordable benefits.) The conservative movement destroyed the world's respect for America's statesmanship by making a false case for invading a sovereign nation. The conservative movement has brought record deficits, record unemployment, and the poorest educational ranking this nation has ever held. The conservative movement has elevated legislation of morality to the forefront of its priorities. The conservative movement has devalued the rights granted us by the Constitution. Most egregious of all, the conservative movement is set to nominate a man who did not have to earn his college degree, financially nor scholastically, a man who has earned almost every dime in his life from the government payroll, a man who has more money than 95% of Americans will see in their lifetimes, a man who has no idea what groceries cost, and wears $500 imported shoes, and owns
so many homes that he has lost count. Further, the party which declared itself the great protector of morals and values has disregarded McCain's adultery and his involvement in the Keating 5 scandal as nothing more than footnotes, rather than the indications of his immoral and self-serving bad character. All of this, yet Obama is painted as the "elitist." I have to wonder, do people like you even know what "elitist" means?
Tenn Mom, have you any clue to what you are talking about - talk about hypocrite - Ted Kennedy cheated at Harvard, has lived off the puiblic dole and his family's money, never worked a real job, killed a woman, has cheated more times than you can count and you have the nerve to crticizie McCain - but the best is thrasher - anyone who digrees with him he want them to leave the country, yeah, that's tolerance for you
These fascists call Conservatives liberal. They have little frame of refrence and blood all over them.
Amen
You fail to mention in your post that the 550 metric tones of "yellowcake" has been in Iraq since before the first Gulf War and had been under control of the IAEA since 1991. Pres. Bush indeed lied about Iraq trying to acquire "yellowcake" from Niger. Sorry but Bush was wrong and you were wrong for believing him.
What, you want Obama to admit that they were wrong for taking the word of the President as truth? I don't think they'd have a problem with that. None of us knew what a lying scumbag Bush is back then. Now we know.
Great, yet another liberal driven agenda from newsweek. How can someone like Obama be "from earth" when he has no experience???? You talk about flexing military muscle, blah blah blah.... how do you think the US came into being a superpower? It sure as hell wasn't by giving in and being the lapdog for every other country in the world as Obama and many "extreme" liberals would like to see happen.
Do you have a plate in your head or something? Or are you just retarded?
Whats with the remarks abour" retarded "people. I know your a bigot by your comments. Theres less offendeng words that you could use. I bet you don't like Catholics or elderly folks either. Kindest Regards Joe
Sorry, you're right, I'm offending retarded people by lumping republicans in with them. My apologies to the mentally retarded everywhere.
I like Catholics and elderly people and mentally retarded people and black people, and jewish people, and everyone else just the same. I pretty much like everyone except a--hole republicans.
Thrasher is mad because all of the smartest, hardest working, and RICHEST people in America are Republicans. Democrats meanwhile are the drop outs, pot heads, ex hippies and do nothings who want the rich who are already paying 2/3 of the taxes already to pay more. This guy and all Democrats are losers and SOOOO JEALOUS of those who are so much smarter than them.
I love how people with no money THINK they are SOOO smart and look down on the rich. If you WERE smart you'd have money and as another poster on here said "If I made $200k per year I'd vote Republican too". No ***! You lying, thieving losers are so un american.
Yeah, that's it exactly. I'm not mad because the Republicans have killed 5,000 of our kids in the last 8 years, or that our constitution has been raped, or that moron daytraders like careerdaytrader have sh!t on our economy with their greedy inhuman speculating.
Guess what pinhead? I make over 200k per year and I wouldn't vote republican if you held a gun to my head because I believe that America deserves better than a bunch of bible-thumping, money-worshipping, paranoid-psychotic, murderous misfits.
You're a traitor to your country. Do us all a favor and throw yourself in front of a bus.
Thrasher you are funny. You may make $200k a year but even Obama has said he won't raise taxes on anybody UNDER $250k a year so SO WHAT? Obama isn't going to affect you if you only make $200k!
I own a software company with $1.3 million in sales, 3 employees which we pay handsomely. I contribute more to this society than you and your band of dumb A$$ liberals ever do.
It's people like me and the taxes we pay that RUN America. If you want to give your money to somebody who needs health insurance DO IT! By all means do so, you have my respect if you DO but you have my HATRED when you do NOT yet want ME to do this FOR you because you're really a loser who doesn't make much and doesn't pay YOUR fair share of taxes!
That's the problem, you loser Democrats don't pay even 15% as an ENTIRE group in taxes but the Republicans and successful business owners and entrepreneurs have covered you lazy Democrats for last half century and we're TIRED of it. It's easy for you to call us GREEDY but who cares its OUR money, WE worked our butts off for it.
Wow, I'm real impressed with your unsubstantiated claims of fame and fortune.
So are you saying I don't pay taxes? I pay my fair share too pal, so don't even go there. In fact, if you're making $250k, and I'm making $200k, then I'm probably paying close to the same amount as you, so don't sit there and tell me that you're paying my way.
You make a lot of unsubstantiated statements, just like all the other blowhard republinazis. I guess it's what you a-holes do best, blow hot air and kill people.
It doesn't matter, McCain is doomed to fail. Try not to cry when Obama wins you condescending jackass.
I never claimed to be making only $250k. Last year I made $330k and paid a few hundred over $107,000.
This year our company has continued to grow and I'll pay about $140,000 in taxes. Under Obama this would EASILY be $180,000.
$40k per year more? For what? To be pissed away to losers like Thrasher here. No thanks!
No Way, No How, No HUSSEIN !
You "claim" a lot of things. The only thing I have seen any evidence of is your successful brainwashing by the GOP.
I don't know how you're going to get by on only $150,000 a year (after taxes, by your own numbers).
Perhaps you should consider welfare?
Love,
JM
His handle is careerdaytrader but he owns a software company?
Things that make you go:
hmmmmm
So I guess Warren Buffet and George Soros are Republicans. All of the multi-millionaire actors are republicans, Ted Turner, repub. Your selfish attitude is UN-AMERICAN.
Thrasher32....kind hard to sell that point considering that there are Catholic, Jewish, Black, elderly and even some disabled Republicans.
Your statements just never make sense.
For your info.. Liberal europe is a super power! it is buying your banks!! hahaha! Europe is now richer than america!
Hitler was trying to make Germany a super power. Y
You are probably a nazi descendant.
How soon before you leave America. I can't wait...
Being a POW qualifies you for exactly nothing, except maybe being a guinnea pig for testing hair care products. But then again, he doesn't really have hair, so I guess maybe he'll have to stick with being a diaper tester.
Are you talking about McCain or Biden. Talk about hair plugs. Kindest Regards Joe
EXCELLENT CHRIS__SUPER TITLE :O)
That said__it is definately misapplied imo. It should be applied as, "McCain from Earth-Barry from Atlantis :O)
MARTIN LUTHER KING WAS A REPUBLICAN???????????????.
I had a "DREAM (nightmare)" of what the Country might be under Obama.
There will be a new national Anthem to include Black nationalism.
Maybe a new Flag, new coins, currency.
All Americans travelling overseas, will be required to know a second
language before they are allowed to board the plane. Pledges to the
Flag is banned as it may offend certain religion like Islam.
CNN and MSNBC will play 24 hours of only positive news on Obama. Fox
news is shut down. No criticism allowed.
Patriotism, Pin Wearing and waving the American Flag will be a thing
of the Past. Obama surrenders the sovereignty of this country to the
U.N. Obama will visit Iran, Cuba, North Korea etc to beg their
forgiveness for the so called crimes that past US Administration
carried out.
J Wright, Farakahan, Ayers,the Chicago mob, all will have high
important post advising Obama and policy matters must get their seal
of approval.
Billions and Trillions of our Tax money will be given to third world
countries to buy their love and forgiveness for us. Remember, in
Obama vision,it is important for the World to Love us.
Don't forget China is placing 25,000 automobiles onto their streets EACH DAY EVERY WEEK PER MONTH YEARLY. Now, how does that equate to the Global Warming Propaganda and Green Solutions?
I like these idiot conservatives because they are consistently stupid.
Our friend Thrasher must have still been pooping in his diapers when Jimmy Carter was president, now that was a night mare. I'll take another 10 years of Bush befores I could stand one year of Jimmy Carter or his son Obama. And Obama like Nixon will not get the troops for a long time. The present timtable is one year. We haven't even removed our troops from Germany, Japan, or Korea or Kosavo. Kindest Regards Joe
#1 I'm not your friend.
#2 No, I was in my 20's when Carter was President, and he was 10 times the man that Nixon, Reagan, Bush I or Bush II were COMBINED.
You wanna talk about nightmares, let's discuss 5,000 dead American kids in the last 8 years. Let's talk Patriot Act. Lets talk Supreme Court appointments under Bush. Now THOSE are real nightmares.
Idiot Limbaugh parrots.
What about the 3000 innocent Americans who died because CLinton was inept?
Are you saying 9/11 never happened?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxRvExqN7_E&NR=1
I'm sorry, I thought Bush was President when 9/11 went down. His watch, his problem.
As I recall, the Clintonites expressly warned the Bush Administration that Osama Bin Laden was a serious threat to the United States, but the Bushies didn't want to hear it and took no action to prevent, or even LOOK INTO the threat. They were too busy figuring out how to invade Iraq on the sly to pay attention to the security of the United States. In the end, 9/11 and all of the victims of that day played right into the hands of the neocons. That should outrage every American citizen. It certainly is an outrage to me.
Furthermore, Bill Clinton tried to kill Bin Laden with a Tomahawk missile, instead of sending a couple hundred thousand troops somewhere that wasn't even related to Al-Qaida.
Selective memory seems to be a hallmark of conservative thinking. Turn off Fox News and idiot Limbaugh and think for yourselves, for God's sake.
This guy is a REAL IDIOT. If Clinton had handled Obama when he had such an easy shot those poor Americans wouldn't have been killed, we wouldn't be in two wars and our deficit situation wouldn't exist or would be mild! Go study history MORON! This guy is funny though, must have smoked too much angel dust!
Great comeback man, Instead of refute the facts, just try and defame me.
It's people like you who have destroyed our country. Go die already loser.
Are you saying that Clinton did NOT F-ck UP BIG TIME! ????????????
Of course you're not, just calling me names. I'm fine with that but just ONCE why not reply with some TRUTH and FACTS? Then I'll still think you are an IDIOT BUT I'll have an ounce of respect for you at least!
No, I'm just saying that Bush f---ked up 1000x worse than Clinton could have dreamed of.
Who started calling who names anyways?
What about the 3000 innocent Americans who died because Bush was inept?
We are not occupying Germany, Japan, or Korea, we are there by treaties. We only have about 1,500 soldiers in Kosovo now and they are not combat troops. Yes, it will take a while to get our troops out of Iraq. You cannot remove almost 150,000 soldiers with all of the equipment over night. It will take at least 16 months for them to come out.
FYI EVERY ( TROOP ) HAS THE SAME BOOT CAMP TRAINING SO REALLY ALL TROOPS ARE COMBAT TROOPS !!
Oh yeah, and I have a nightmare of America under GOP rule for the last 40 years. I'm glad that nightmare is about to end. Worthless murdering scumbag republicans.
Do you have any original thoughts or are you just going to parrot the Limbaugh/O'Reilly line? I would say Coulter, but obviously your post is not THAT insane. Do us all a favor, don't apply for a day pass on election day.
oh god the pin again please focus on whats important and not this crap and maybe this can turn into an actual debate
HOW TO START EACH DAY WITH A POSITIVE OUTLOOK
1. Open a new file in your computer.
2. Name it 'Barack Obama'.
3. Send it to the Recycle Bin.
4. Empty the Recycle Bin.
5. Your PC will ask you: 'Do you really want to get rid of 'Barack
Obama?'
6. Firmly Click 'Yes.'
7. Feel better?
GOOD - Tomorrow we'll do Nancy Pelosi!
Oh, you're a day trader. You need to go back to school so you can take a step up the scumbag ladder to child-molester.
No actually I own a software company but do trade as well. Traders don't hurt the economy, dumb A$$es like you do! LOL
Ohhhh, I get it, you're well off, so f--k everyone else, the classic Republican. I get it now.
BTW, I make a lot of money too pal, I'm just not an a-hole like you. I guess that's the main diff between republicans and democrats huh.
LOL sure you do. But if you DO and YOU choose to give to charitys YOU can. What I object to is anything socialist. We do not need more entitlement programs we can NOT afford.
You get dumber and dumber with each post. Are you drooling yet?
Coming from the ugly fat man living in his mom's basement. You're funny though and I love smacking you down over and over and over again just like that arcade game!
Go on pop your head up again, I'll take another whack at ya!
Actually I own a number of houses and vehicles, and my parents died when I was a younger man. Thanks for bringing my mom up though.
You don't really think I'd be hiding from a *** like you do you? Maybe I just have better things to do than wait for your ignorant responses.
Are you going to start crying like a 6 year old girl when Obama takes the election in a landslide?
We're tired of Republican scumbags. Go crawl back under your rock.
thanks to obamas support of infanticide there are a lot fewer six year old girls
Yeah, and thanks to Bush's support of war for profit, there are a lot less 19 year old Americans. You f----king hypocrite.
42000 abortions a year v/s 5000 soldiers who died for their country over a 5 year period.
thrasher, you are brilliant!
Yes, by all means, let's go back to back-alley coathanger abortions. Then, instead of 42,000 abortions, we'll have 40,000 orphaned or abandoned kids, 90% of whom won't get adopted and be a further burden on our society.
Let's get this straight: I oppose abortion, as many, even a majority, of Democrats do, but I do also oppose taking the right of a woman to choose what she does with her own body, and to decide if she should have a baby or not. Period.
We (republicans AND democrats) can certainly work together to significantly reduce the number of abortions performed, with a goal of eliminating abortion, but to take away the right to choose away from the mother is unconstitutional (as determined by the United States Supreme Court) and just plain wrong.
Now, let's talk about those 5,000 soldiers who were loved by their families and the other 40,000 severely disabled soldiers who will never lead a normal life thanks to the disastrous policies of the GOP.
no one is talking about ending abortion we are talking about the practice of INFANTICIDE which is a whole different thing altogether! Infanticide is the practice of killing a baby after it has been born. Get informed.
Next stop exaggerating the number of service men that have died.
No one's talking about ending abortion? Really? That's BS. If you think Obama supports infanticide you have been duped by the republican smear machine. Read Obama's position on abortion. The bill you refer to was fundamentally flawed and had no chance of passage. You really need to skip the spin and read the facts, and not on Limbaugh's website, because there are no facts there.
The death toll in Iraq and Afghanistan is in the high 4000's. It's close enough to call 5,000. The number of Americans severely injured or disabled is over 40,000, and the number of dead civilians was over 655,000 according to the washington post several months ago.
Amusing. I saw the same thing about Bus a few weeks ago. Typical Repub: nothing original.
First off do you remember the last president to try and negosiat wih Iran. Thats right good old Jimmy Carter. Our emmbassy was taken over, they cut off the oil supply , inflation was 12%, morgage rates were 18% unemployment was hovering at 8%, our Olymic athletes were not allowed to particpate because Jimmy was trying to straighting out the Russians, he was so bad even rabbits attacked him. I will guess that if the Democrates take over the house, senate , and presidenty we will look back fondly and call thoes the good old days Kindest Regards Joe PS he did negotiate the pease aggrement between Israel and Egypt, but Israel had to sell their souls.
Yes these Democrat IDIOTS somehow think Carter was a GREAT President! He was the worst in last 50 years, possibly the worst of all time until Obama at least who will surely topple him as the country that is turning around now and possibly the recession will be mild goes into another recession as the rich revolt and structure their lives to cut their HUGE new taxes. Money coming in will dry up, millions of jobs lost and us Republicans will be laughing at you FOOLS as we live better than ever WITHOUT you on board!
Can you say anything factual???
I know you're a big dummy and probably have NEVER heard of the mysery index (adds up unemployment and inflation) but it was highest under Carter than anybody else.
Unemployment and purchasing power going out the window, his total WEAKNESS in handling the Iranians. OMG you are the BIGGEST idiot on here! Congrats.
The biggest mystery here is how you can type with the IQ of a cockroach.
Israel sold their soul for peace? Someone quick tell the Palestinians! They will be happy that they can go home now.
The last president to negotiate with Iran was Ronald Regan, you forgot about the whole Iran-Contra affair, where we were actually selling weapons to Iran in order to fund the Contras . Also, negotiation with Iran is what got the hostages freed in Iran. Israel did not have to sell their souls for peace with Egypt.
By stating COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE from foreign oil just like Kerry did before, like it's that easy, Obama has proved himself yet again a preacher of epic proportions. He made himself look like Morpheus in Matrix. It always comes down to the COMPLETE INDEPENDENCE and end OUTSOURCING. America is a consumer economy and can never detach itself from China or India or even Saudi.
I agree. Mc Cain has always called him naive, now he has CLEARLY proven that he truly is! I think he's either a moron or KNOWS like I do how DUMB most Democrats are!
you republicans always wana aim for the floor. mr. mccain's slogan should be " no we can't why try :'( "
Listen Democrats here's the truth. Where's the MONEY going to come from to do all that Obama "Promises" ? I know most Democrats do NOT understand the complicated financial and economic world we live in. But thats NO EXCUSE for not having common sense.
Obama's $280 BILLION tax increases and $1 TRILLION social security tax increases (next 10 years) is going to come from somewhere! You all think well he's not going to raise MY taxes.
Yes he is! And here's how.
Small businesses will be taxed through the nose to pay for all these VERY EXPENSIVE programs he outlines. We as small businesses will either fire existing employees to cover this cost, or NOT hire as many new employees as we really need but can't afford to, OR outsource jobs to India/China OR pass the tax increases through to you the CONSUMER as HIGHER PRICES of goods you buy.
So one way or another YOU will pay for all these crazy social programs of his. More than likely it will be through layoffs and the country will lose 1 to 3 million more jobs. Europe has MUCH higher unemployment than we do DUE to HIGHER TAXES!
So go ahead and vote for Obama but when you lose your job, your house, your cars, you wives/husbands because you BELIEVED in Obama's change message, he'll deliver Change but its NOT what you signed up for, just remember you heard it here first dummies.
Do you ever stop babbling? Idiot.
LOL you are truly one of the few elite on here. A guy who THINKS he's so smart but is a total moron. Democrats are truly stupid to think Obama will accomplish any of his promises.
If you truly are so smart, answer this question.
How is he going to create 5 million new jobs during the start of a recession while also increasing taxes $280 BILLION a year, Social Security tax increases of a trillion over next 10 years, and its estimated that his health insurance ideas will cost employers $11,000 per employee. How's he going to accompish this. Answer this question intelligently and maybe you aren't as dumb as we all think you are.
Not ONE Democrat on here will debate the issues, your guy is all FLASH and no substance! That makes you a total idiot, lunatic, or flake for supporting him!
I don't know, why don't you ask him?
All I know is I am not voting for McSame. You call ME stupid, yet you vote for more of the same BS we've been dealing with for the last 8 years.
I'm tired of discussing this with you. You're obviously seriously to self-absorbed and misinformed to understand anything.
We'll see who the losers are this November. McSame doesn't have a chance in hell. Watch and see.
Oh, and MAN UP.
Sure I LOVE America! I love this country and am proud of all its hard working citizens who don't complain and don't ask for WELFARE hand outs. YOU CAN MAKE IT IN AMERICA if you have just HALF a brain.
I DO want more of the same, my life is PERFECT. Sorry yours isn't but you're not guaranteed everything you want in America just the FREEDOM TO PURSUE happiness. If you're too dumb, lazy, uneducated to achieve it its really not MY problem, only yours.
Bla bla bla, we're all impressed with y our superiority to everyone else. Go look at yourself in the mirror and masturbate and leave the thinking to people with brains. ***.
One of dozens of Democrat Lies - Exxon got HUGE tax breaks!
Fact Exxon uses tax breaks that were passed into law for all companies to use.
Fact Exxon paid over 9 BILLION in taxes. Go to finance DOT yahoo DOT com and type in XOM its Exxon's stock ticker. Then go to income statement and since these numbers are in thousands add 000 to the end and you will see the TRUTH. We should thank Exxon for paying SO MUCH in taxes and keeping this country running. I am VERY happy when I fill up my BMW 335 convertible with my vishnu chip that gives it 400 horse power that oil and gas exist and I can zoom along and pass all the idiots in 10 year old beat up junk cars with their Obama stickers on it. LOL
Last I heard, Exxon made $125 BILLION profit in one quarter. In that light, $8 billion in taxes doesn't quite seem sufficient does it?
I have to question the integrity of anyone who defends Exxon.
You're KKKarl Rove, aren't you? C'mon, take off the sheet and let us see your face.
Just as I thought, you truly ARE as dumb as I thought you were!
Check it out yourself although I doubt you can read an accounting income statement. And as to your claim to be making $200k a year, BULLSHIT, if this was true you wouldn't be spouting made up numbers you'd have the common sense to check first. Don't bring a knife (your pea brain) to a GUN fight boy!

Now that I KNOW you are a dummy here's a bit of explanation YOU will need. You need to add 3 zeros to the end so where it says 10,526,000 it really is 10,526,000,000. When I posted these stats I had looked a week ago and it was for previous quarter. Turns out their last quarter taxes were HIGHER than I said.
10 BILLION 526 MILLION in taxes. Their NET income was only 11 BILLION 680 MILLION.
You see dummy that companies have sales then they SUBTRACT all of their expenses! I know you are not the most economically minded so I hope this explanation which I've DUMBED DOWN you can grasp.
LOL this guy is funny, calling OTHERS retards and idiots. I suspect 90% of people making $200k or more can read a SIMPLE income statement!
No comment thrasher32? Yeah didn't think so. You are so IGNORANT and incapable of finding, understanding or PROCESSING the facts and truth. I feel very sorry for your broke and stupid A$$. LOL
You can believe whatever you want pal. I make what I said, and I've been working my ass off all weekend, so no, i didn't have time to argue with ignorant morons like you.
In fact, arguing with you is a bit like arguing with an ape, you can't make him understand what you're saying, and he'll just fling his own crap at you, so what's the point.
So piss off monkey boy.
Oh, and I'm so impressed with your big, fast, gas guzzling car. I heard those make small penised men feel better about themselves, how is that working for you?
careerdaytrader, spoken like a true republican, one who can only muster ignorant comments based on flamemail, flameposts, republican fear, smear and hype. mccain will put the final nail in the coffin of what was once a great nation, but hold on to your ignorance, it fits you well!
RetiredJarhead: what good is "experience" if Right-Wing "experienced" conservatives have driven this country into a ditch? How did the "US come into being a superpower" you ask? Well, for starters by not going it alone against the Soviet Union; by forming an Atlantic alliance, yes with those liberal European countries, and forming NATO; by forming alliances with other countries like in the First Persian Gulf War. Diplomacy and alliances are the bedrock of our country; it's only extremists like yourself and Bush/Chenney and now McCain who have hijacked our country for the last 8 years and put us in the mess we are in now. NO MORE. OBAMA 20008- DOWN WITH RIGHT-WING-CONSERVATIVE-EXTREMISM
You have to HAVE cojones in order to use them. The Bush administration, with all their blustering and bragging and war mongering, is just a collection of bullies. It doesn't take a genius to beat up on someone smaller and weaker than you, but it does take arrogance and a major disregard for human decency.
Using one's head - the one on the top of one's shoulders - instead of one's fists usually gets the job done. Getting others to go along with you works even better.
A skinny guy from the south side of Chicago with any survival skills at all figures that out pretty quickly.
And there is one more description of a man without cojones - impotent. And that's what's wrong with McCain and the rest of them - they are unable to function any more like men.
Real men use their resources, their allies, their brains and their cunning to get the job done..
I concur, but I thing you're being too nice in describing the GOP.
Anybody who hates the GOP this much is a total loser dropout or is homosexual and hates them because we won't let them get married. I predict this fool is gay. LOL
yeah nice comeback. i'd hate for things to get petty and pointless
haha yeah this guy really is FUNNY isn't he! I bet Republicans on here take him as seriously as Democrats take ME. But at least I realize this, nobody is listening to anybody else.
The point is we all agree we want national security, good jobs, low taxes, thriving economy, and a chance for all to get ahead.
Where is it in the Bush economy that PREVENTS people from getting ahead. Joe Biden, Obama, his wife, and MILLIONS of other people get ahead in this country so why are so many people complaining that THEY can't? It's either stupidity or laziness.
Typical republican. "I don't like what you said so I will call you names and try to defame you"
Do us all a favor and jump out of a window in a tall building.
If you're talking about me, I'm not gay, I am totally straight and I served many years in the military while you were going to nazi prep school, getting soused with your frat buddies, and chasing fat girls around campus.
Loser.
Sounds nice, MacLean...but the history of mankind has not played out that way. However unfortunate it may be, stepping up and taking action is what it often comes down to. For instance, what diplomatic stick can the US diplomatically manimpulate to cajole Russia into changing its intentions in Georgia? Or convince the Taliban to let it rest? Or stop the killing in Dafur? Or Iran from shifting its want for nukes? Please tell us? I'm sure there's about a thousand State Department diplomats who would love to know.
Well said!!
Great article! A question I have for all anti french... if your friend wants to jump from a 40 story, will you follow him??? I don't think so. And for your info, french soldiers are americans soldiers best friends. They are saving their lives and fighting with them the real war on terror.
thank you reverend. my mom is from Kansas and my dad from Kenya. I support infanticide and am running for president. you didn't real answer my question about dickey's foot fetish
You keep talking about infanticide. So, it's only OK to kill people after they've been born, is that correct? I mean that seems to be the republican attitude. So explain that one for me, ok, because I'm sure the parents of 5,000 dead American soldiers would like an explanation of why it's wrong to have an abortion, but it's ok to send their living children off to die for no reason other than pride and profit.
WHAT A HYPOCRITE YOU ARE.
good grief, are you willfully ignorant?
soldiers volunteer to serve their country.
aborted babies are defenseless....in fact, they are the MOST defenseless beings on the planet.
in addition, if this war was all about oil, why are gas prices so high?
I never said the war was about oil, I said it was about pride and profit.
So you want to go back to the day of back-alley coat-hanger abortions and millions of parentless children just waiting to grow up and become the supercriminals of tomorrow?
I am against abortion, but it will always be with us, so it has to be legal. I understand what you are saying, and I don't disagree, other than to say that we can slash the number of abortions without making them illegal. In the end, it is the woman's choice, and I think that's the way it should be.
If you really are against abortion then I cannot fathom how you could support Infanticide through Obama.
I don't support infanticide, I support choice and freedom. It's as simple as that.
I support choice and freedom to. My choice and freedom to do whatever I want to with MY MONEY.
Same concept you apply to abortion, isn't it? LOL you Democrats really should learn logic!
murder will always be with us but we don't legalize that - suggesting that all parentless children grow up to be criminals - what an imbecile - are you really that stupid are do you just pretend to be
Maybe gas prices are so high BECAUSE this war was over oil, and it worked. If so, it wasn't to GET oil, but was to restrict supply and jack up the prices...and the profits. Lets check and see if this is possibe. Ask the questions: ' (1) Who is making the big money now?' and '(2) Are they making more money than before?' Answers: (1) Big oil; (2) Yup. Hand over fist. So either the war WAS over oil, with the intention of maximizing profits to Bush-Cheney's cronies, or else the war was a dismal failure. Take your pick.
thrasher32, first off you exaggerate the number of American soldiers that have died...it is not nearly 5000.
Secondly, every singe soldier VOLUNTERED! for duty. Third, these babies are alive after being born and did not volunteer to die a certain death. Forth, not every soldier in the military will die, most live but every single born alive infant of late term abortion will certainly die after lingering for hours without any medical treatment. If anyone else other tah an abortionist left a born alive infant to die they would be charged with murder.
what? a discussion of facts that ties the failed policies of bushco to mcbush? How refreshing, even if partisan.
Reasoned discussions seem to escape the media since it takes longer than 30 seconds to make a point. regardless of who you think will lead best, we need to pick our leader based on their vision, not on their sound bites.
Corwin you should add an or to your statement. Thats color. As an independent my liberal friends seem to think I should vote for Obama because he will be the first black president. Give me a break. I guess I should vote for McCain because he would be the fist Vietnam POW to be President. I might add Obama to my way of thinking is nothing but an Uncle Tom. Kindest Regards Joe
One day, hopefully soon before our nation collapses from the INSIDE, the average American will wake up and realize that NEITHER party really gives a rat's @$$ about the common man, They care about holding on to power. The cult of personality aura of Obama was validated by the pretentious, multi-million dollar sap fest. The hypocracy was abound . The demagogs pointing fingers at the republicants about and Obama's speach talking about big ties to corporations laying off workers and shipping jobs oversees yet all I saw when I looked around were big corporate adds and Obama himself flopping into the laps of corporate campaign sponsorship.. I loved his line about oil depedency where he stated that politicians in D.C. have been debating this for 30 years and McCain has been there for 27 of those years. I guess he preferred not to point out his VP-Biden has been there for 35 years! Obama, as most of his demogogs before him promised literally everything in his speach but the kitchen sink yet, he has yet to disclose how much all of those promises will cost and where he plans on getting the funds to pay for them.
Now for McCain and the republicant's; I can't wait to see if they can (or even want) to match the demogog's "spectacle." But it is very likely that many of the same promises will be made to the American people; the same sappiness will be served up like warm maple syrup; the same corporations will be helping to fund the event; and the same fat-cat lobbyest, regardless of which candidate wins, will be there to help shape policy and run OUR government.
Wake up America. Just ponder this; if half of us took a hard enough turn to the left and the other half a hard turn to the right, we'd actually meet in the middle. Let's just dispense with party names. It's OUR country, not ANY party's. Put down the koolaid cups and take your country back by getting rid of BOTH parties!
Wow, sounds like Dems are just a little afraid of the potential of Palin - suggesting overseas travel is the equivalent of experience - suggesting Palin has no FP credentials - what exactly does Obabma ihave n the way of any kind of experience, anything, executive, foreign policy, legislative, anything PLEASE give me something - and don't give me that lame tour overseas he took - I've traveled overseas more than Obama and that doesn't qualify me for FP experience - and I thought Dems were tolerant, telling people in this post to leave the country because they don;t like their comments - why don't you leave thrasher
Bush was (and still is) totally boorish when it comes to foreign policy. His vocabulary doesn't seem to include the word "diplomacy" -- plus it has more than two syllables so it's too hard to pronounce.
Here is what I think about McCain's choice of Palin, summed up by a reader's comment in the Washington Post today:
Sarah Palin is in no way, shape or form anything of the stature and experience of Hillary Clinton. Most of her supporters will gladly vote for the Obama-Biden ticket. A formidable team, with complementary skills and capabilities, who inspire courage, optimism and respect around the world.
Contrast that with a 72-year-old man whose health is not robust, coupled with a 44-year old church lady with five kids and ZERO overseas travel, no foreign policy credentials. Guess who will be calling all the shots? McCain!
We will be the laughing stock among our enemies - easy target for picking off our president and allowing a totally shallow, inexperienced church lady to become our President.
All for the sake of the Religious Right and the option to drill in Alaska. Once again, the GOP putting us in jeopardy with a misjudged choice and greed to appease the major oil companies.
What do you expect from the GOP? I'm glad this is the end for them.
Obama said "the idea that we are responsible for OURSELVES, but that we also rise and fall as one nation" but also said "we rise and fall as one nation" and descibed it as blending "individual responsibility and mutual responsibility." So you have to do what you can for yourself, but that you also have to do it for OTHERS.
But if EVERYBODY were to adhere to the first part, there would be no need for the second!
The night before Biden said his working class parents told him "about how ANYONE can make it if they try"
Then Biden got tangled in his own contradiction! He talked about his dad who, when he fell on hard times, would tell his son: "Champ, when you get knocked down, get up."
Then he said he had "never seen a time when Washington has watched so many people get knocked down without doing anything to help them get back up."
Wait a minute! Who said anything about GOVERNMENT helping folks get back up when they get knocked down? He just said his dad told him PEOPLE should get themselves back up!
I'm a BIG fan of getting bck up, PERSONAL responsibility, educating YOURSELF, making GOOD choices, and getting over the idea that the world OWES you a living, FREE health care, etc.
Democrats are truly the party of the losers, uneducated, unsuccessful, NOT paying their fair share of taxes (if you paid last year less than $10k to $15k in taxes you are FAR short of YOUR fair share). They will destroy the hard working America if they get their greedy hands on the power.
Bla bla bla. You and HolyRoller should have a nutjob convention. You could wear your tinfoil helmets (and nothing else) and run around the room yelling "LOO LOO LOO NOBAMA"
You're a classic example of what has gone wroing with America. Please leave.
LAST NIGHT I SEEN A TYPICAL DEMOCRAT SPEECH AND IT HAS BEEN GIVEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN ALBEIT THE WORDS OF THE SPEECH WERE A LITTLE DIFFERENT AND THE PERSON GIVING THE SPEECH DID IT FAR BETTER THAN ANYONE BEFORE HIM BUT IT STILL AMOUNTS TO THE SAME LIBERAL DEMOCRAT SPEECH AND IT HAS NOT GOTTON VERY MANY DEMOCRATS ELECTED AND IN MY OPINION IT WILL NOT GET THIS LIBERAL ELECTED EITHER ! HE STILL HAS NO EXPERIANCE AND IS NOT READY TO LEAD THIS COUNTRY HE SHOULD ATTEMPT TO SPEAK WITHOUT THE TELEPROMPTER AND THEN ALL WILL SEE HE IS A BUMBLING IDIOT WHEN IT COMES TO SPEAKING AS WE'VE SEEN BEFORE !
i wont go so far as to calling him a bumbling idiot. yes he can stretch himself sometimes, but i feel he's got a better backing with biden and hillary. although the speech was fit for an academy award he's yet again not explained how he's planning to go about establishing his core issues that concern americans. americans need a plan, not a mission statement.
You do realize that by typing in all caps, no one will read your post.
And by the way, Obama doesn't need your vote.
