Counting On Wal-Mart Women

If you ask me people should be up in arms about the comment that McLame/Failin are making about MOST of America. That Obama is taking money away from "hard working Americans" to "spread the wealth"?? As if nurses, teachers, and ANYONE who doesn't make more than half a million dollars AREN"T HARDWORKING AMERICANS??? As if giving the people who are hurting the worst in this crisis MORE of THEIR OWN MONEY is being some type of Robin Hood? For all of those who think that the economy somehow magically runs from the top down, name me ONE company that does not need to meet the law of supply and demand. If most of American can't afford your product, it doesn't matter how many more companies you make to produce it. If you can't sell your service, it doesn't matter how many more places you make to offer it. "Trickle down economics" DO NOT WORK., How much more of the economy is going to have to collapse into ruins for corporations and Republicans to see that? What Barrack Obama is offering is not socialism ( just the implication of such a thing is truly grasping at straws) it's just COMMON SENSE. WAKE UP AMERICA. VOTE ! VOTE! VOTE!

How to bring down a democracy: the steps toward totalitarian rule, in the order followed by Hitler and the Nazi Party???SEE IF THEY DON???T SOUND FAMILIAR.

1. Improvise an attack (or take advantage of an attack) on the country
2. Declare the country under attack by an enemy; real or improvised
3. Force legislation that limits civil liberties and gathers powers unto government
4. Brand dissenters and peacemakers as unpatriotic and browbeat them into submission
5. Keep the fear factor high to make the public easier to manage
5. Law enforcement and government personnel are used to spy on, control and break dissent
6. Institute massive propaganda campaigns using state-controlled no-longer-free media and fear of government retribution
7. Institute the equivalent of a national homeland security department, overseen by one person with unlimited powers
8. Confiscate all firearms from the citizenry
9. Institute the mass murder and imprisonment of any who resist the new ideology.
10. Launch pre-emptive strikes into other countries in an attempt to spread the new ideology

Sound familiar? It should, its not only the direct path of Hitlers rise to power, but also parallels the events starting with and following 9/11. President Bush was very familiar with the game plan, as his Grandfather and his Grandfathers father-in-law were supporters of Hitler and Nazism, both before and after the war.

Of course, theyve skipped a couple of the items on the list, but theyll get to them if theyre allowed to remain in power, because it will be the only way for them to retain power.

The Reichstag Fire: the funeral pyre of German democracy parallels 9/11 and the loss of American civil liberties

THE BEST REASON TO VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA THIS ELECTION YEAR. OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES TO AMERICA AND HER PEOPLE.

Study finds Media has Betrayed the Trust of American People
Newsweek Article:
Study: Media coverage has favored Obama campaign
Study finds comments on evening newscasts over the past two months favored the Obama campaign

"For whatever reason, the media are portraying Barack Obama as a better choice for president than John McCain," said Robert Lichter, a George Mason University professor and head of the center. "If you watch the evening news, you'd think you should vote for Obama."

http://www.newsweek.com/id/165218

"A former Newsweek reporter admitted in an article this week that he has no objectivity and imagined disabling Rudy Giuliani so he wouldn't run in the presidential primary race last year.
Michael Hastings wrote in GQ magazine that he had a "recurring fantasy" that he could somehow stop the former New York City mayor in his tracks.
"I quickly realized Rudy was a maniac. I had a recurring fantasy in which I took him out during a press conference (it was nonlethal, just something that put him out of commission for a year or so), saving America from the horror of a President Giuliani. If that sounds like I had some trouble being 'objective,' I did. Objectivity is a fallacy," he said."

Add to that The ugly side of Big Brother Socialism from the Obama Campaign: Media Blackmail
October 31, 2008 12:27 PM ABC Reports:
The Obama campaign has told three reporters they have to drop off the campaign plane this weekend. All three work for papers that endorsed Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.: the New York Post, the Washington Times, and the Dallas Morning News.
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/10/citing-space-co.html

Barack Obama's campaign killed all interviews with a Florida TV station after Sen. Joe Biden, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, faced tough and critical questions from a reporter at the Orlando station, the Orlando Sentinel reported .
"This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election," wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign, according to the Sentinel.

Thank you C.MacLean!! I read that sentence and thought, "I have a college degree and make less than 60 k!" Most people do! People that work at Wal-mart probably make less than 30. Just goes to show once more how out of touch the republicans are!

Here's a video in which Obama discusses fiscal responsibility. Anyone who cares about the economy should see it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d4a6RNhCUo

And on this web page, you can calculate the amount of your TAX RELIEF under Obama's plan. (This tax calculator is for personal income, not for businesses. Remember that if you itemize, your tax cut will be higher than what the calculator shows. However, Obama's new 1040EZ allows people to get credit for some itemizations without having to fill out the long form and schedules.)

You can get even more information on Obama's economic policies from the Blueprint for Change.

Wal-mart women?

Would that be those of us who work there, or those of us who shop there?

I'm a woman with a college degree who makes less than $60,000/yr. I don't work at Wal-mart, but I sure do shop there.

The republican party has nothing for me. Hopefully, soon they won't have anything for anyone else, either.

This comment was worth reposting its not mine but you should read it

"Nowforthetruth" recently made this posting: "Nins, all you prove is that you have perpetual PMS and cannot read. If you are as careless in your practice, you are a danger to your profession."

You reveal too much of yourself "Nowforthetruth".

"Nowforthetruth" also continues to keep repasting postings that suggest that the root cause of our problem is a law decades old that encourages loans to qualified low income people. "Nowforthetruth" is part of the spin/propaganda machine, and continues to repeat well known deceit.

Alan Greenspan stated recently that the problem was not anything like that. Rather, he stated that an entire financial system was built outside of regulation, and 'we trusted' these self-interested looters to regulate themselves. Credit Default Swaps were the result.

Credit Default Swaps increased from $106 trillion in '02 to $531 trillion under the R stewardship. No regulation.

While there are several variations of a viral email that tries to blame a few thousands of political donations to some Democrats, the actual, legitimate news has reported that Fannie and Freddie paid many millions to Republican lobbyists to lobby Republicans to PREVENT REGULATION.

McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, received up to $35K/mo. from Fannie and Freddie from 2000 to present, to lobby Rs,only, against regulation. Freddie has paid Rick Davis while he has been McC's campaing manager. Freddie donated $250k to the R convention.

These facts are everywhere in the legitimate news. You can start at http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/22/us/politics/22mccain.html and http://www.newsweek.com/id/164732/page/1 There's much more legitimate news on this.

Trillions were looted from our economy because the Rs allowed it. It is inescapable that the Rs, most prominently McC's campaign manager, were in the pockets of big money while they drove the buss off the cliff with us in it.

You can try to distract people with fears about 'those guys'. Lies, distortion, deception. 'Socialist' is only the last in a long, now desperate, list of labels you have tried to pin on 'that one'. That's all you have left.

Is your most recent reposting here directed to fears about "Socialism", or is it just innuendo, or are we trying to fold in a little racism too?

I've got an idea, since we have no more ideas, let's keep running our campaign on fear, smears and hypocrisy.

Keep talking "Nowforthetruth", you're really helping. You keep demonstrating that we all have to vote against lies and propaganda and attempts to hijack our political process with deceit. Your actions are the kinds of reasons that I'm voting for Obama after 40 years of never having voted for a Dem.

A 40 year republican

What a terrible title - I cannot imagine anyone wanting to be called a Walmart anything.....it's the Walmart's, bargain barns, whatever,.... that kill the small business person with undercut pricing (and quality) and take the ingenuity and American pride out of the small-to-medium sized towns of America. Don't settle for this cheap imported crap America - be your own people and make something of yourself and your country.

What is a Wal-mart woman? Who would want to be called something like that? It's confusing to know who this is and how McCain could get support from someone who makes less that $60K per year and must shop at Wal-mart. Wal-marts destroy communities and stand for everything that is cheap, sterile, and a rip off. It stands for not paying people well and treating them poorly. I don't think anyone want to be called anything that is associated with this company and the cultural vacuum that it encourages, let alone the bain to small businesses.

Acorn is just another invented issue.
All the group does is register new voters . They pay people 8 bucks a hour a help people
fill out registration forms and then turn them in. By law they are required to turn in ballots people fill out that dont seem credible. But they seperate them from the normal ballots and inform election officials when they turn them in. As a example If somone fills out a ballot that says donald duck they still have to turn that ballot in , but since there really is no donald duck and no one to show up and vote with a id that matches that registration on election day . It will have zero effect on anything and all this is is a waste time
Also all ballots acorn marks as fishy are also investigated and checked against state records to make sure they are real people if not they are thrown out.
Its has no effect because no one can vote without proper ID
So unless the gop thinks there are imaginary people to go along with with throw away ballots then
lets move on to something that matters like the fact we are going in to the next great depression,
and that mccain says he doesnt understand the economy
How about we talk about the war, the national debt <11 trillion>, The housing market, the job market,health care,global warming.
Are things so great we need to invent issues like acorn ?
or is it the gop has no answers to the mess they have created in the last 8 years?
Let talk about things that will improve our lifes and not something no one cares about.
And lets throw out the poeple that created this mess
they dont deserve a chance to make things worse

Please vote early election day will be a mess

I'd suggest every one read Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich. That is a great portrayal of the life of Wal-Mart women. They get lousy wages. Their schedules are re-arranged so they can't spend time with their kids. They are paid overtime without time and a half. They are even forced to work off-clock time. That's only the beginning.
Women in places like Wal-Mart remind me in a way of women who remain in marriages with abusive husbands. If you remember the advice Dear Abby gave, She said that any woman who remains with an abusive husband is either numb or dumb. As far as I am concerned, any one man or woman who works for a place like Wal-Mart without a union contract or union back up is about as smart as a Texas cheerleader who puts it all out for the start quarterback without "protection." Yet it happens all the time.
My advice to Wal-Mart women is simple - you do not have to accept the circumstances Wal-Mart is giving you. Sam is not your friend and he'd replace you in an instance with a "guest worker" imported from India if he could get away with it.. vote for Obama and his Democratic allies. Secondly, stick up for your rights. Join a union.

THE GREAT BUSH DEPRESSION
I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
He perfectly predicted the current meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen next
is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide ,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch , Fanny and Freddy Mae ,AIG
The government took them over because they are bankrupt. Even with the goverment nationalizing hundreds of billions of dollars in debt the stock market is crashing
the credit markets are frozen and all of us may suffer beyond anything seen in generations
McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand how its been broken.
It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use quantum mathematical models very few people understand.
Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.
Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He was the last to know somthing was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime. Check out this link to the truth http://my.barackobama.com/keatingvideo
It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a budget surplus like Bush did but a crashing economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
So why are the polls even close then ?
Mccains team just said they no longer want to talk about the economy.Instead they would like to spend time talking about obama
which means running the biggest smear campaign in history.
They think they can just tell you lies and you wont be smart enough to see through it
Let's teach him we are smarter than that
Stand up and hold them accountable
Bush isn't on the ballot this year but his policies are
Elect Obama Biden 2008

Barry Manilow supports Obama. That's should clinch it with these voters.

I think the Republicans have sacrificed the future of their party in many ways. Young voters *are* turning out Democratic more and more often, and the older Republican supporters won't be around forever. If the Democrats really can turn the country around, we could be looking at a massive consolidation of Democratic power.

You missed your big chance, Chuck... you should have spent the last eight years at the White House helping to write some of the crap that came from there. Can you say "sycophant"?
