The dishonorable is said to be heavily edited gee just like all the ads and the attack interviews on Sarah Palin by Gibson and Kuric. Anything positive she said surely ended up on the cutting room floor.
The democratic party opposes voter id requirements while the GOP supports it. The phony sound bite you hear all the time is that it will disinfranchise voters particularly minority voters who may not be able to afford the id cards. In our state the proposal was to give the ids free of charge and the dems struck it down. This is just a bunch of BULL!!! The real reason they don't want voters to have to have valid id is that they know the illegal voters and the great majority of persons who vote more than one time (ALL FELONIES) vote for democrats. If they suspected or knew it was the the way around it would already be the law of the land period.
"Not all Democrats agree with Mr. Frank that such policies are off-limits to criticism. Last week Rep. Artur Davis of Alabama said in a statement: 'Like a lot of my Democratic colleagues I was too slow to appreciate the recklessness of Fannie and Freddie. I defended their efforts to encourage affordable homeownership, when in retrospect, I should have heeded the concerns raised by their regulator in 2004. Frankly, I wish my Democratic colleagues would admit when it comes to Fannie and Freddie, we were wrong.'
"Mr. Davis is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus."
'Rank snobbery'
Camille Paglia, who supports Sen. Barack Obama, has nothing but scorn for the way the media has treated Sarah Palin.
"The mountain of rubbish poured out about Palin over the past month would rival Everest. What a disgrace for our jabbering army of liberal journalists and commentators, too many of whom behaved like snippy jackasses," Miss Paglia writes at www.salon.com.
"The bourgeois conventionalism and rank snobbery of these alleged humanitarians stank up the place. As for Palin's brutally edited interviews with Charlie Gibson and that viper, Katie Couric, don't we all know that the best bits ended up on the cutting-room floor? Something has gone seriously wrong with Democratic ideology, which seems to have become a candied set of holier-than-thou bromides attached like tutti-frutti to a quivering green Jell-O mold of adolescent sentimentality."
to D & D:
You think FDR stopped the depression with his make work government programs? You need a lesson in history and economics! Nearly 100% of economists today agree that his policies actually prolonged the depression and the belief is the recovery would have occurred within 2-3 years if government intervention hadn't occurred. In addition, his polices did not end the depression World War II did!!! We began producng goods and weapons for friendly nations then ourselves when yet another democrat got us into a major war !! Just for a pint of refernce more US soldiers died on Omaha and Utah beaches in several hours on D-Day then have died in Iraq in 5 years. One dead soldier is one to many but democrats have been in power for all major wars and have caused the deaths of nearly 600,000 American soldiers..
To frianna:
Since the top 1% pay 55% of the bill 389 billion of the bailout will be paid by them!!! The top 10% will pay 630 billion of the bill. You and I will help pay for 70 billion or 10%/. If you are in the bottom 40% you will pay nothing toward the bailout. THESE ARE IRS FACTS!!! LOOK IT UP!!! As far as loophoiles the alternative miniimum tax forces those making over 250K to pay 38% federal tax period. No loophole no break.
I do not like either candidates health care plans period. Obama's plan keep you r employer coverage - cut costs and force insurance companies to take less money. Provide insurance for those with pre-existing conditions (I can agree with this to some degree) and expand government coverage for those with no insurance. This will drive costs up and if you force doctors and hospitqls to take less money it will mean employee cuts for them, reduced care and in some cases hospitals will close. If you do not have insurance then you need to help pay for it not get it free at other taxpayers expense. I have employer based health.nsurance but it is not free!! It ultimately costs me over $3000.00 out of pocket excluding drug costs and co-pays. .In addition I have to buy insurance for my son who just graduated from college because he is no longer covered under my plan. This costs me an addtional 114 per month plus a $500 deductable on health care, $500. on drugs and 10% of the first 5K. So despite the fact I have an employer provided health care plan I still pay 5K out of pocket for health care.. No one should get it free including tthose on welfaer they must be charged something to help defray costs. Universal government health care will cripple this country resulting in an overall federal, state, local property and sales taxes approaching 80% of income.
Hate always consumes those that perpetrate it and live by it. Obama has been calling for one America while McCain and Palin continue to call for a divided America. I think I have come to realise one thing: the American people sincerely know who serves their interest best. Obama is a reality the likes of hate-mongering and desperate politicians cannot wish away. By Jan. 20, 2009, they will have to live with reality of Barack Obama as their president and commander-in chief. Good luck.
You claim Mc Cain and Palin want a divided America please cite an example. The Dems constantly use class warfare against the republicans saying the GOP and Bush are for the rich and the oil companies. They constantly claim the tax cuts only helped the rich. Bull____!!! My fedral taxes went down over 5% and my tax return up 1000.00 under Bush's tax cuts for the rich. Well I can tell you I'm not rich but here are some facts from the IRS:
The top 1% wage earners pay 55% of the federal tax burden. In case your wondering that amounts to 1.7 trillion dollars. The top 10% pay 90% of the federal tax burden that is 2.75 trillion dollars. The next 50% pay the remaining 310 billion dollars or 10%. The bottom 40% pay no taxes at all and they get a tax return. These are the REAL FACTS. As for the oil companies, they make 4 1/2 cents out of every dollar worth of oil. This is well below what the average business makes in profit percentage wise. The federal tax per dollar of oil is 15% or 15 cents out of every dollar. The govt. benefits more than the oil companies with none of the risk. Obama is pushing a windfall profit tax on oil companies. This will result in higher prices to make up for the tax. His plan to tax corporations who move jobs overseas at a higher level willl likely result in the corporations moving too!! Both parties need to reduce the size of the governnent tremendously. They then need to reduce the fedral tax to about 10%. Jobs will swarm back here and our economy will soar. The problem is that it would mean an end to all enttitlements except social security and medicaid and medicare. Social Security roles need to be slashed. I know several families that have mutliple ADHD children and hey are getting over $550.00 per child . Drug addicts and alcoholics stay on the roles forever.One year for treatment and they should be off forever until they retire. Social Security was designed to help the disabled and for retirement/supplement. When the program began there was 37 workers for every retiree/reciepient. Toady it is 2 workers to every receipient. It is time to move those who ccan work back into the workforce and help the truly needy elderly and the truly disabled.
McCain's Plan
$5000 credit for insurance which forces individuals to pay $10000+ to buy insurance from the same cheating insurance companies, plus he taxes this credit as well
$200B in tax credits to the Exxons of the world who are already receiving billions in tax credits and sending this money to the terrorists in the middle east, now who is dishonorable
$100B in tax credit to the big CEOs who make 100s of millions and got us into this hole to begin with
$4B/week on Iraq war when they have $80B in surplus, btw, there was no Al Qaida in Iraq before we went in
I identified myself with the republican ideology but these neocons are no republicans, this is not Lincoln's republican party.
I am voting Obama,
GObama
MCain has "STRONG MORAL VALUES???" Cheating on your wife, betraying the most sacred vow that one can swear to our Lord(marriage),abandoning his crippled wife and family because he found a younger, wealthier, more attractive option(Cindy McCain) are strong moral values???? You hippochristian have run our country into the ground with your crap. I'll gladly vote for an American like Barack who grew up poor and earned his status, over another spoiled rotten rich white brat that rode daddy's coattail into the entitled class.
Just remember every major war was started with a democrat in office except the civil war which Lincoln tried to prevent. (Both Iraq wars are minor) in comparison to WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam. The republicans freed the slaves, the republicalocksons passed the civil rights act in the 60's under heavy democratic opposition. The dems then started their "GREAT SOCIETY" programs permanently enslaving the poor and large blocks of minortiy populations to government dependency. Albiet a new form of slavery.
The media is nearly 100% biased against the GOP. They attack Palin claiming she tried to get her former brother-in-law fired from his job. Wow she must be SATAN!!! They however completely ignore the fact that Obama is friends with a known terrorist William Ayers, a major fraud suspect in Rezko (who by the way helped him get his home for well below market value) he's just nice I guess and his connections to bigoted pastors Wright and Al Queda supporter Farraken. If this was the other way around it would be in the headlines everyday!!!
Audacity of Hope!! Obama can lead America back n the right track. Obama can do for America what John.F. Kennedy did for America. Look beyond the colour and look at the man. He is an honourable man who does not need to tell lies about his opponent! He will do what he has said he will do and that is to bring peace and stability to America and give back to the middle class what the rich have been taking formany years now under Bush!
You need a lesson in who pays what percentage of federal income taxes. The richest 1% of the population pay 55% of the federal tax bill.. The top 5% pay over 70%. The top 10% pay 90 % of the bill. The remaining 90% pay 10% of the federal tax bill. If you break that down down 50% pay the last 10% and the lowest 40% of wage earners pay no federal income tax at all but they all receive a tax return.
Say what you will, at an Obama rally you will not hear John McCain the person being demonized. Sure, his stands on the issues will be booed, but he will not be subjected to the outrageous and divisive smears like those that McCain and Palin are spewing about Obama and you will never hear his patriotism being questioned. When McCain's name is mentioned in an Obama rally, you will NOT hear a mob crying 'terrorist', and worse, 'kill him!' as has been heard at McCain and Palin rallies.
'For each tree is known by its own fruit.' I respect those honest republicans who simply have a respectful difference of opinion with Obama. Many of them are my neighbors and we get along just fine. But those decent Americans aside, and in contrast to the hope filled positive Obama campaign, we now have a negative hate-mongering 'No Obama.' campaign on the right which draws in religious bigots.like Unholyroller and crew, racists (you know who you are), and rabid McCarthyists left over from the 50's. On Nov.5 we will all still be Americans and will have a new president-elect based on the American institution of majority vote. We can have honest differences of opinion without causing a permanent rift between neighbors if we don't give in to hate.
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!! Can't you people see. Obama is a fu**** muslim. Who the fu** are we fighting. MUSLIMS!!! You people are blinded from the truth. One day we might wake to find that our nation has been annialated.
I really hope you're playing around, because otherwise you sound like a total moron.
What hole did you crawl out of because you have eaten the bu**sh** sandwich that the Republican party has fed you. With that mental retardism, you would also go after Catholics (look at their history of killing), Palins Jews (war for religious beliefs) on and on. By the way we are against terrorists which in this case almost sounds like you are one based on the hatred dripping from your comments.
So because of one person's comment all Republicans believe this crap. Yeah right!!! Don't ASSUME just by one comment that it's the Republican's opinion. BTW when have you ever heard anyone on the campaign trail state anything that this guy has?
Your name "save this country" is excatly what leftest do, use a patrotic name and then work like carzy to destroy the very thing you are hired to destroy, hide behind the flag and they burn it when no one is looking. Your pathetic not to mention dangerous.
Thank you for reminding me that you are what this country is all about. We are a nation rich in diversity...a nation where opportunity is available to all; even a candidate that is different from all of his predessesors has the chance to become our leader. In a country where we are encouraged to celebrate our differences, I find it amazing that there are still people who make important decisions based on fear of those differences regardless of what the facts truly are. I guess I should commend you for having such strong opinions based simply on race or religion. At least you have the courage to be a racist "out-in-the-open" as is your right as a U.S citizen.
Lets look were the real racist are, they are in the Democrat party. Talk about wanting to keep the country white, look at their history. Why does the higher percentage of blacks favor NObama even though they don???t know what he stands for. They wouldn???t even think about voting republican. They have been brain washed for the last 50yrs. Republicans with President Lincoln fought for the rights of blacks, not democrats.
The civil Rights bill was proposed by Republican Senator Charles Sumner and Republican Congressman Benjamin F. Butler. In the 60???s it was held up by democrats not republicans. Rules Committee chairman, Howard Smith a Democrat from Virginia, indicated his intention to keep the bill bottled up indefinitely. At the Senate, Richard Russell (D-GA) launched a filibuster to prevent its passage. Said Russell "We will resist to the bitter end any measure or any movement which would have a tendency to bring about social equality and intermingling and amalgamation of the races in our states.
So tell me again what party has the history of being racist.
Your comment is very elementary and fundamentally ignorant. No one denies that the Republican party of old is the party that brought about the emancipation proclamation, but you seem to be devoid of the fact that Blacks (as a whole) have not voted Republican for at least 40 years. The modern day Republican party is nothing like the Republican party that freed the slaves. No one is disputing the history of how slavery came to an end, but to suggest that the same party is active today is, well, stupid.
Please don't pretend to understand minority issues as you are minimizing whatever valid points you may have.
Lets look were the real racist are, they are in the Democrat party. Talk about wanting to keep the country white, look at their history. Why does the higher percentage of blacks favor NObama even though they don???t know what he stands for. They wouldn???t even think about voting republican.

So tell me again what party has the history of being racist.
So the party that is most racist has nominated a Man of mixed race. Sounds like progress. Thanks for pointing out the great progress we have seen in our lifetimes.
Just say no to lies.
McCain is trying to use scare tactics with the American voters since he can no longer run on his positive experience and future knowledge and plans.
Many, many people are quick to judge Obama because he is black, which does not affect his mental capacities, however, we are walking on eggshells regarding McCain's age which does affect his mental capacity. Two big example of lack of judgement just within a few weeks (1) Sarah "who is she" Palin aka "Chatty Kathy"; (2) Letting his campaign resort to continual mudslinging on non-related issues. McCain is too old to be President and it is starting to show.
DO NOT FORGET THAT OBAMA IS HALF WHITE AND HALF AFRICAN. HIS MOTHER BORN HERE AND HIS FATHER IS FROM AFRICA. AMERICA HAD ONLY INDIANS HERE PRIOR COLONIZATION. EVERYBODY CAME FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY. LIKE ME I CAME FROM BRAZIL AND MY MOTHER IS FROM ITALY AND MY FATHER IS FROM RUSSIA. I AM BRAZILIAN AND NATURALIZED AMERICAN. I LIVE AN AMERICAN LIFE WITH MY HUSBAND AND CHILDREN. I SERVE THE VETERAN'S. I HAVE POST-GRADUATE DEGREE. I MADE OVER $100,000 A YEAR AND A LOOK WHITE. MY STORY IS VERY SIMILAR FROM OBAMA . I REGISTER REPUBLICAN BUT I WILL CHANGE MY VOTE TO OBAMA. MOST REPUBLICANS THAT I KNOW (NOT GENERALIZED EVERYBODY)ARE RACISTS EVEN THOUGH THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT. YOU ARE KIDDEN ME.
at least some news source isn't cowed by republican ownership of media, and control of what qualifies as "facts." thank you, newsweek!
