Drawing Even

Good thing Barry showed great judgment in picking Biden over Hillary....we wouldn't have this kind of stuff to use against him.

... But One Life to Give the IRS
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/09/but_one_life_to_give_the_irs.html

The Boston Tea Party be damned. This week, Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden unleashed the most absurd remark of his illustrious career, claiming that taxes are "patriotic."

Biden claims that wealthier Americans should pay more in taxes because "it's time to be patriotic ... time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut."

Oh, the injustice of American society!

When, exactly, did taxation transform into a form of charity? Biden, it seems, has a difficult time differentiating between coercion and generosity. The distinction is simple: When one fails at altruism, he is a louse; when one fails to pay taxes, he ends up in the slammer.

But anyone can "jump in" at any time. Biden and his wife -- who would be considered wealthy under an Obama-Biden tax plan -- for instance, gave an average of $369 a year to charity during the past decade. So you can see that by "help," Biden means assistance with your money.

Does anyone else remember when the Republican party used to claim to be the 'law and order' party? Oh how times have changed. Now we have the spectacle of McCain sending a team of high-powered New York lawyers to obstruct justice up in Alaska. A BIPARTISAN committee, 10 Republicans and 4 Democarats voted UNANIMOUSLY to start an investigation into allegations that Palin abused her office to settle a personal grievance. They appointed an independent investigator to get at the truth. Gov. Palin PROMISED full co-operation, Candidate Palin is on the run. What are they hiding? The McCain legal team is now claiming partisan tainting. Of course that's true now that they have said it. So now team McCain is obstructing justice and refusing subpoenas, as if he needed another link to the Bush administration. If she is innocent why not get the investigation over with sooner rather than later? Obviously the best option is to cry partisanship and get the truth of her 'innocence' out. These stalling tactics only make her and McCain look much worse and will raise Troopergate's visibility as a negative campaign issue. Therefore, logic dictates that she is most certainly guilty at some level of the charges and their best hope is to delay findings until after the election. Sort of like Nixon and the watergate investigation in 72. But this all may backfire; there just might be enough decent Republicans left who believe enough in law and order to call a halt to these shenanigans.

THE MOST INTERESTING YET SCARY PART OF THIS ECONOMIC MELTDOWN IS THAT YOU CAN TRACE IT BACK DIRECTLY TO MCCAIN

1. HE CHAMPIONED HIS ACTIONS IN DEREGULATION. WHICH IS NOW THE REASON WHY THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO NOW "REGULATE" AND IT WILL COST US 700 BILLION DOLLARS AT LEAST. HE AND MANY REPUBLICANS CALLED REGULATION A FORM OF SOCIALISM. NOW THEIR ALL FOR IT AFTER THEIR LYING , CHEATING, STEALING, GREEDY FRIENDS HAVE RAPED THE AMERICAN TAX PAYOR CLEAN AND DAMN NEAR CAUSED A GLOABL RECESSION. THESE ARE THE OMEGA LEVEL RETARDS WHO WANTED TO PRIVATIZE SOCIAL SECURITY-IMAGINED IF THEY WOULD'VE GOTTEN THEIR WAY?????!!!!

2. MCCAIN'S ECONMIC ADVISOR IS PHILL GRAMM. NOT JUST THE FACT HE CALLED ALL OF US A NATION OF WHINERS AND IT THIS BEING A MENTAL RECESSION BUT HE "WROTE" ALL OF THE DEREGULATION LAWS THAT HAS LED TO THIS DEBACLE.

THEY ARE COMPLETELY CLUELESS. THE ECONOMY IS "FUNDAMENTALLY" STRONG WHEN PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR HOMES RIGHT AND LEFT AND WE ARE ON PACE FOR RECORD JOB LOSS? THIS GUY WANTS TO VAMP UP THE BUSH TAX CUTS THAT BUSH'S ON FATHER CALLED "VODOO ECONOMICS". THIS IS WHY OBAMA IS BACK UP STRONG IN THE POLLS. WHEN REAL ISSUES GET DISCUSSED -IT'S A NO BRAINER. THE GUY WHO WILL GIVE TAX CUTS TO 95% OF THE NATION OR THE GUY WHO STILL DOSN'T KNOW HOW MANY HOUSES HE HAS?

Again, as we have been so many times, we are hit between the eyes with the reality of our mistakes ??? but will we ever learn from them? Today???s shocking news reminds us that Pakistan is and has continually been a very serious problem and a threat to our interests. There would seem to be clear and rational evidence that those who advocated attacking Iraq was the wrong action for the wrong reasons, only benefit for Special Interests and a select few, were absolutely correct. Not advocating that we should have attacked Pakistan but any objective viewer would be hard pressed not to see that we would have been far better off concentrating our resources on Afghanistan and pressuring Pakistan to rid the area of Taliban and al Qaeda. Now that is simply a task we still have to do and is being left for the next president.

Then there is the current financial crisis here at home (with global impact) with the humongous tax payer sponsored bailout, simply caused and allowed by unchecked and uncontrolled greed. Even with the costly bailout it is unclear how much further the crisis and the drastically negative impact on our economy will go. The government is now committed to the heavy costs, necessitated only because the attitude all along has been for large scale deregulation in encouraging open markets and benefiting mainly Special Interests and a select few. The bailout itself again costs the average American while it really saves the big money people and may still leave us exposed to dire states. Once more it is a problem that is being left to the next president.

Will we ever learn from our mistakes? I don???t support the need for a big brother or for a large intrusive style government but it seems very obvious that a government offering more protection for the people and real checks and balances on the powerful is desperately needed; government is actually suppose to do for the people that which they can???t do for themselves, instead of just rationalizing benefiting a select few. This presidential election is our chance to prove we have learned from our mistakes by not electing someone who has supported these passed failed policies, by not electing someone who is committed to continue with more of the same, by not electing someone who again would be just a puppet for Special Interests and a select few, by not electing someone who offers just change rhetoric, much as GWBush did, but rather by electing someone who has the intellect and commitment to offer real change that benefits all of the people. Whatever anyone???s biases, prejudices and emotional attachments tell them, the reality is that Obama-Biden fills the bill and McCain-Palin does not.

Can any Obama supporter give me a link to Barry's plan to help the current Banking/Financial Meltdown?

Here is McCain's:

First, to deal with the immediate crisis, I will lead in the creation of the Mortgage and Financial Institutions trust -- the MFI. The underlying principle of the MFI or any approach considered by Congress should be to keep people in their homes and safe guard the life savings of all Americans by protecting our financial system and capital markets. This trust will work with the private sector and regulators to identify institutions that are weak and fix them before they become insolvent. The MFI is an early intervention program to help financial institutions avoid bankruptcy, expensive bailouts and damage to their customers. This will get the Treasury and other financial regulatory authorities in a proactive position instead of reacting in a crisis mode to one situation after another.

The MFI will restore investor and market confidence, build sound financial institutions, assist troubled institutions and protect our financial system while minimizing taxpayer exposure. This is an important step, but it is not enough. I will also take the additional actions needed to make sure a crisis like this is never allowed to build and break over the American people again.

Second, I will propose and sign into law reforms to prevent financial firms from concealing their bad practices. An inexcusable lack of financial transparency allowed Wall Street firms to engage in reckless behavior that padded their profits and fattened executive bonuses when times were good, but now imperil the financial security of millions of Americans when their bets turned sour.

So much of the damage to our economy could have been avoided if these practices had been exposed to the light of day. Americans have a right to know when their jobs, pensions, IRAs, investments, and our whole economy are being put at risk by the recklessness of Wall Street. And under my reforms for the financial sector, that fundamental right will be protected.

Hell is freezing over....The Washington Post actually has the Audacity to correct Obama on John McCain record.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/18/AR2008091803159_pf.html

TO LISTEN to Sen. Barack Obama, Sen. John McCain is a Johnny-come-lately to the cause of regulating financial markets. "He has consistently opposed the sorts of common-sense regulations that might have lessened the current crisis," Mr. Obama said in New Mexico yesterday. "When I was warning about the danger ahead on Wall Street months ago because of the lack of oversight, Senator McCain was telling the Wall Street Journal -- and I quote -- 'I'm always for less regulation.' "

But the full quotation from Mr. McCain's March interview with the Journal's editorial board belies Mr. Obama's one-sided rendition. The Republican candidate went on to say, "But I am aware of the view that there is a need for government oversight. I think we found this in the subprime lending crisis -- that there are people that game the system and if not outright broke the law, they certainly engaged in unethical conduct which made this problem worse. So I do believe that there is role for oversight."

It's fair to say that Mr. McCain has dramatically ramped up the regulatory rhetoric in the wake of the meltdown on Wall Street. Mr. Obama made the argument about the need for increased oversight much earlier. And Mr. McCain has generally taken an anti-regulatory stance, although not in all cases -- his support for federal regulation of tobacco and boxing being prominent counter-examples

Mr. McCain was an early voice calling for the resignation of Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Harvey Pitt, charging that he "seems to prefer industry self-policing to necessary lawmaking. Government's demands for corporate accountability are only credible if government executives are held accountable as well."

In 2006, he pushed for stronger regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- while Mr. Obama was notably silent. "If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole," Mr. McCain warned at the time.

One element of the Obama campaign's brief against Mr. McCain is that he supported repeal of the law separating commercial banks from investment banks. "He's spent decades in Washington supporting financial institutions instead of their customers," Mr. Obama said yesterday. "Phil Gramm, one of the architects of the deregulation in Washington that led directly to this mess on Wall Street, is also the architect of John McCain's economic plan." Would it be churlish to point out that another author of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley law is former congressman Jim Leach, a founder of Republicans for Obama? Or that Obama advisers Lawrence H. Summers and Robert E. Rubin suppor

Uh-Oh...more Hussein meltdown.......

Today, McCain-Palin 2008 released a partial transcript of a conference call held this afternoon with Miguel D. Lausell, Senior Political Advisor to Hillary Clinton, and Clinton Delegate-at--Large Luchy Secaira (Florida). Both Lausell and Secaira endorsed JOHN McCAIN for PRESIDENT.

NOBAMA!!!

"Sarah-mania" Grips Central Florida Before Rally
By Joe Follick in the Gainesville Sun.

For years, the nation???s top Republican candidates have trekked to The Villages in Central Florida as a must-stop on the campaign trail. The retirement community of more than 80,000 residents has hosted President George W. Bush, Florida Govs. Jeb Bush and Charlie Crist, presidential candidates including Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney and many others in recent years.

But local Republicans say this Sunday's rally with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin may be the largest ever.

"Sarah-mania has taken over here," said Richard Cole, the chairman of the The Villages Republican Club of Sumter County.

THIS KEEPS UP AND McCAIN MAY GET MORE DEM. CROSSOVER VOTES THAN REAGAN VS. CARTER

Oh yeah...HolyRoller said that in MAY.....hahahahahahahaha

NOBAMA!!!

Obama, as the Fannie and Freddie M's crashed, gave a rally speech wherein he said "Americans cannot afford another wait and see government." Shortly after 3 different reports asked him about the F&F mess, his response to all three "we'll have to wait and see." Today he gave a speech after speaking to his economic advisors in Florida, his response "we'll have to wait and see." Which is it Dems, tell me I'm dying to know, does your candidate mean that HE can afford to wait and see? Because this economic crisis started months ago and he has yet to address it other than to say "we'll have to wait and see." So I ask who can afford to wait and see?

Senator McCain???s history has shown us a cornucopia of flip-flops, much of which he calls being a ???Maverick??? but which have actually always been just trying to adjust for advantage. As seen before and after the Keating scandal, before and after running for president in 2000, before and after having his legs cut out from under him (which he claimed was the result of Bush???s dirty politics), before and after committing his strong support to Bush in 2004, and now before and after running for president again and then throughout this current campaign relating to most everything and so vividly in the current financial crisis. For the moment put aside Sarah Palin???s incompetence and gross dishonesty and just ask how can someone, John McCain, who is so out of touch and willing to change so frequently, at a moments notice, ever be trusted to resolve the problems, many of which were caused by the policies he so strongly supported? First he has been a strong advocate of deregulation and now he says more regulation is absolutely necessary. Then he was against any bailouts and within one day switched to say they were really needed now. He was strongly committed to continuing with the Bush-Cheney policies and now says that he and Palin are agents of change. He has always supported tax cuts for the wealthy and open markets favoring Special Interests and a select few and just today he is calling for stimulating the economy and addressing the problems by providing the needed support and protection for the middle class, who he has simply neglected in the past and instead had inferred benefit would ???trickle down??? (what ???trickled down??? was the costs as the big money got bailed out). He offers to appoint a commission and faults Obama for wanting to take the time to determine more aggressive and direct action. What he says, he quickly retracts or simply offers to explain what he really meant. Just a week ago he was so strongly touting that the economy had strong fundamentals, inferring it was ready to recover, and then changed that to mean he had faith in the American worker, as if they could turn things around on their own. The truth is he doesn???t have a clue, talks without thinking, changes after consulting with others, often just copies what Obama says and, as Joe Biden put it; he is completely out of touch. He really wants badly to be president before he retires and then desperately chose Sarah because he thought she would be aggressive and flashy when campaigning but what of anything does any of that do for the American people?

Palin is actually part of the cause of the recent world financial market crisis. Here???s why: Palin, and the initial bump McCain got from her in the polls introduced a risk that sent shivers throughout the world financial market that had already been jitterish.

Risk of future income has a direct effect on stock and bond prices. More risk causes lower prices. The world just does not know how to assess a McCain/Palin administration.

Most of the world is puzzled by McCain???s running mate. They are even more puzzled that he got such a big bump from it.

Thus, it was no coincidence that the big correction in the financial markets came immediately after polls showed a big bump to the McCain/Palin ticket.

Of course, Palin IS NOT the fundamental problem for the financial market problems. However, I am sure it had an adverse effect because the market does not like risk OR unknowns!

YOU MIGHT BE A RACIST IF........

1. If you have ever chuckled at his middle name, you may be guilty of racist Obama jokes.

2. If you ever ridiculed the assertion that tire gauges lower gas prices, you may be guilty of racist Obama jokes.

3. If you ever laughed at the claim that he campaigned in 57 states, you may be guilty of racist Obama jokes.

4. If you ever suggested that the "Vero Possemus" campaign signs had something to do with possums, you may be guilty of racist Obama jokes.

5. If you ever downloaded the video of him bowling a 37 in front of reporters, you may be guilty of racist Obama jokes.

6. If you ever shared the video comparing him to Paris Hilton, you may be guilty of racist Obama jokes.

7. If you ever cracked wise about his cocaine use, you may be guilty of racist Obama jokes. (Joking about Dubya's alleged cocaine use is politically correct.)

8. If you ever made fun of his big ears, you may be guilty of Obama jokes. (Joking about Perot's big ears is politically correct.)

9. If you ever said that the look on his wife's face could curdle fresh milk, you may be guilty of racist Obama jokes. (Joking about Cindy McCain's or Sarah Palin's face is politically correct.)

10. If you ever noted that his pastor acted like he was on Def Comedy Jam, you may be guilty of racist Obama jokes.

The REAL JOKE is Hussein and the obamamohammeds....Your RACISM slurs are BITING HIM IN THE ASS.

NOBAMA!!!

Neos: I see you had enough time to try and attack me but you still haven't answered my question to you from the other day, even though I answered all of yours....why is that I wonder? Still haven't recieved word from you BarackObama.com or the Kos?

Please explain how this comment from Obama is not a lie? If you could provide a link to the plan that Obama is talking about please.
"In January, I outlined a plan to help revive our faltering economy," Obama said, "which formed the basis for a bipartisan stimulus package that passed the Congress."
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/09/obama-inflates.html

While your at it can you explain this comment by Barry?
From "This Week" With
STEPHANOPOULOS: So, even if we???re in a recession next January, you come into office, you???ll still go through with your tax increases.

OBAMA: No, no, no, no, no, no. What I???ve said, George, is that, even if we???re still in a recession, I???m going to go through with my tax cuts. That???s my priority.

STEPHANOPOULOS: But not the increases?

OBAMA: I think we???ve got to take a look and see where the economy is. I mean, the economy is weak right now. The news with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, I think, along with the unemployment numbers, indicates that we???re fragile.

The implications are Barry won't rescind Bush's Tax cuts if we are in a recession, which he keeps telling us daily that we are. Obama's shying away from any increase in the tax burden on the rich is a clear indication that, should he be elected in November, his administration will enact no significant social programs to ameliorate the conditions confronting the millions of unemployed, the great majority of working people confronted with dramatically declining real wages and the tens of millions trapped in poverty.

There is an update on the Berg/Obama Eligibility for POTUS Federal lawsuit.....Hussein has until 9/24 to respond. There is new confirming evidence on the alteration of the posted C.O.L.B. Here is an excerpt.

We have a further analysis into the Certificate of Live Birth documents (COLB) posted on Mr. Obama's website, fightthesmears.com.

The COLB posted and analyzed on the Daily Kos and the COLB posted by factcheck.org, were found to be altered and forged.

Ron Polarik specializes in computer graphics with over 20 years experience with computers, printers, and typewriters. He holds a PhD in Instructional Media, took on this project, prior to our asking, and has been working on it for several months.

Mr. Polarik has prepared an updated and extensive report regarding these forgeries and altered COLBS. Mr. Polarik took it a step further and obtained further review to collaborate his findings.

Going to get really fuunnny...real soon....GOD D**N AmeriKKKa....I think I hear the word "whitey" over and over..

Laura Meckler wrote yesterday evening, September 19, 2008, in the Wall Street Journal:

Don't be shocked if you see the McCain campaign pull the controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright out of mothballs in new attacks against one-time parishioner, Barack Obama.

McCain advisers say that they see "attack by association" as fair game now, arguing that Obama???s campaign has been using that technique to go after McCain. In particular, the Obama campaign has hammered McCain on the stump and in TV ads on the number of one-time lobbyists working for his campaign. (The McCain campaign is also angry about a Spanish-language TV ad that ties McCain to Rush Limbaugh on immigration, without ever saying that McCain took on Limbaugh and others to fight for comprehensive immigration reform.)

"They played it one way, we played it another way," said one of McCain???s top advisers, Mark Salter. "Now we???re both going to play it the same way."

WONDER HOW MANY TIMES WILLY AYERS WILL BE ON THE TV??? REZKO SENTENCING SET FOR WEEK BEFORE ELECTION...WITNESS PROTECTION...HUSSEIN HEAD ON A STICK???

Gonna get crazy...better order your Kool-Aide early kids.

NOBAMA!!!

Quick, sound off- how many of you political geniuses voted for Bush in 2004?
