Well, neos, may I ask where poor little Barry made a record $150 million dollars for his campaign in September? Oh yes, just those poor little black folks, - $2.00. You should look yourself in the mirror.

In 2005, an average Chief Executive Officer (CEO) was paid 821 times as much as a minimum wage earner, who earns just $5.15 per hour. An average CEO earns more before lunchtime on the very first day of work in the year than a minimum wage worker earns all year. In 1965 the ratio was 51 times. In Japan the ratio is 11 to one.
While running Lehmann Brothers into the ground, its CEO collected nearly 500 million dolllars from 2000-2008.
While no one will dispute that CEO's deserve higher compensation, this EXCESSIVE greed is what is ruining America.

The United States has been a radical experiment opposed by "conservatives" since its inception. You, sir, distort and twist history to fit your agenda.
Obama is being painted as more liberal than he really is in the first place. And I believe he is the candidate most likely to be a uniter based on his thoughtful, cooperative approach to everything including foreign policy. The question is whether the religious, neocon hawks (and yes bigots) within the GOP tent can be governed by any Democrat, since they demonize anyone who thinks differently as evil.
This is proved by recent threats of "backlash" revolt if Obama/Biden are elected. It is crazy talk to say that people should elect a ticket with Palin on it. How can Republicans really expect this? They need to take some time off and reform their Party, then get some qualified, non-devisive candidates on a ticket and try again.
I didn't see Sarah on any of the morning news shows,you know the ones where CREDIBLE candidates appear like Face the Nation and Meet the Press. Has she withdrawn from the race?
Oh, yes, and wasn't Colin Powell's endorsement of Senator Obama stunning?
You're right... I didn't see Palin this morning either... but I do know she hasn't dropped out of the race.
However I did see Obama on Meet the Depressed though, admitting to George Stephenopoulus (who, by the way, is the only dem with enough b@lls, to ask Obama a tough question) that he was Muslim!
So in addition to being a piss-poor debater, you are also a religious bigot. How very proud your mother must be!
When cornered with the truth, you then scrape the bottom of the barrel with the mother comments.
Awesome article!! I always find stories of our political history and herritage as really neat and stuff that both liberals and conservatives can appreciate!
Jon Meacham has a new book out called The American Lion about Andrew Jackson you will probably enjoy....
Most firms pay no income taxes - Congress
Study finds that the majority of domestic and foreign corporations in the United States avoid paying federal income taxes.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Nearly two-thirds of U.S. companies and 68% of foreign corporations do not pay federal income taxes, according to a congressional report released Tuesday.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) examined samples of corporate tax returns filed between 1998 and 2005. In that time period, an annual average of 1.3 million U.S. companies and 39,000 foreign companies doing business in the United States paid no income taxes - despite having a combined $2.5 trillion in revenue.
The study showed that 28% of foreign companies and 25% of U.S. corporations with more than $250 million in assets or $50 million in sales paid no federal income taxes in 2005. Those companies totaled a combined $372 billion in sales for the largest foreign companies and $1.1 trillion in revenue for the biggest U.S. companies.

WHERE IS THE PRESS? NOBODIES IS TALKING ABOUT THIS REPORT!
WHAT ABOUT THIS DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH?? And this are FACTS, not suppositions.........
HAPPENED UNDER BUSH WATCH, WHO ARE THE SOCIALISTS HERE?
The very premise of this article is based on a right wing myth and is factually untrue. Americans are conservative on some issues, but on most issues they lean more left than right, as numerous opinion polls have shown, and as the number of registered Democrats vs the number of registered Republicans demonstrates. In a panic over an inevitable Obama presidency, Meacham and other media conservatives are trying to tie his hands before he even gets into office.
Good luck with that, guys. Keep huffing and puffing. Obama is going to win by a landslide and you and other right wing ideologues will become increasingly irrelevant.
It is true that more people label themselves conservative than liberal, because 'liberal' has been turned into an epithet by dint of name-calling and innuendo. It is also true that if you ask people specific questions about abortion, health care, the environment, and education, polls show a substantial majority of Americans as quite liberal on the issues. If Obama means to lead he must persistently and gently show people that we really are a liberal nation, and that it's OK to be so. There will be no progress until we believe that the ideological children of Ronald Reagan can't hurt us anymore.
Rightwing at its finest. Check out the Star of David on the effigy's head.

our country is in real trouble if OB wins. I'm scared!
Barack Obama is a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared of as president of the United States.
Senator John McCain calming a rightwing nutjob at a Minnesota rally.
Thank you for your factless, less than insightful opinion.
Oh right! That's a reasoned argument, no facts, no statistics just "so's your old man." Try actually developing a thought.
As you did? Laugh my ass off!!! neos, try to be a little less transparent, okay?
That was your OWN quote from a earlier thread, you chuckle-headed moron. ROTFLMAO...
And the line from McCain was his quote, not just my opinion. You are a little out of your depth here aren't you?
Lol... .You're becoming laughable... No one's out of their depth except you......

It is not center right, it is center racist. Republicans gained power by leveraging white racist evangelicals angry about Johnson's civil rights legislation. That strategy held up for 30 years. Palin is the latest incarnation of that strategy, brought in to placate the evangelical racist unhappy with McCain. An Obama victory ensures one thing, at least four years of concentrated right wing racist evangelical hate and vitriol.
After Bush's close '04 re-election was treated by media douches like Meacham as a broad mandate to push the radical neoconservative agenda, we shouldn't be surprised by nonsense articles like this. But ashamed at what passes as conventional wisdom among our country's media elites, yes.
A majority of Americans are progressive on almost every major policy question facing this country: health care, energy policy, environmental issues, market regulation, progressive taxation, social security, Iraq policy, and on and on. Now that the Republican's strategy of divide and conquer - on the basis of social issues and identity politics - is finally coming back to bite them, it couldn't be more clear that the blowout win coming Obama's way is much more of a mandate we've seen in this country since at least 1980.
But I suppose I can, reluctantly, bear listening to the chattering class write drivel like this article every now and then.
This article is absurd. On what topics are we a center-right nation? We are pro-choice of over 2/3rds of the country, we are anti-war, pro-universal health care, and now with the fiscal crisis we are a pro-economic regulation country too. Religious freedom, freedom of speech, welfare, medicare, medicaid, social security, civil rights, the violence against women act, the equal rights amendment, 13th amendment, 19th amendment, the progressive tax system and others are all progressive ideals. You are living in a fantasy world.
"Palin talks about 'pro-American' parts of the country and 'real Americans.' McCain talks about the 'real Virginia.' These code words show us the true colors of their campaign. The Palin/McCain ticket's ugly philosophy of exclusion and division can and should be compared to the Obama/Biden ticket of inclusion and union. The Obama campaign shows us what an Obama presidency will look like, where Americans will be encouraged to put aside the tired old hateful wedge issues and to unify once again for the common good. A president should pull us together and not tear us apart." (neos @ 10/19/2008 5:35:03 PM)

I second!
More smears. Did some of the homeless employed by ACORN fill out false forms. It appears so. Despicable. This is called voter registration fraud, and not voter fraud. Huge difference. Voter fraud is as bad as voter supression.
Bottom line, some lazy irresponsible people seem to have cheated and filled out some forms with bogus names. No one is or should defend these illegal actions. But to somehow insinuate that the Obama campaign was in any way orchestrating these efforts is of course slanderous and stupid.
Let me give a simple analogy for the benefit of those of you who are on FOX. If I give the neighbor's kid five bucks to pick up a bag of apples and he decides to shoplift the apples and pocket the fiver, how am i to blame? Of course, Rush and Sean would 'report' the disjointed facts of my giving the kid five bucks and the act of shoplifting and try to connect the two with sleazy innuendo and ZERO proof, that's what they do. It is up to the thinking public to see this for what it is, yet another desperate another smear and distraction.
The problem you're having with this here is that Acorn's voting fraud record is everywhere... no way can a "few Acorn employees" get this much fraud accomplished. Then there's the little issue of Obama giving Acorn 800 thousand dollars, and the fact that every fraudulent vote Acorn tries to stuff is for the Democrats... not one recorded case for the republicans.
No matter how much you want it to, this isn't going away....
Again in your desperation you try to connect two unconnectable dots. LOL
By the way,.... as the old saying goes, "Denial isn't a river in Egypt!"
Obviously, you're the one whose desperate... I don't have to worry about connecting the dots... the authorities are doing so for us at this very moment, as they have done so for the past 10 years...
Your crooked Acorn? Stick a fork in them credibility-wise, they're done. Nailed in 20 states for fraud.
Yes, exactly -- pragmatism trumps dogma and the rest of GOP's subterfuge propaganda!
I'm so ready for the GOPs rot and shambles being tsunamied into the history's gutters!
