The only things that are certain in life are death and taxes. Get used to it. If you don't like taxes then you can move off the grid. No one is stopping you.

Can't wait to vote for our next President... Barack Obama
:beer:ignoring the fringe element, I think your run-of-the-mill republican is more afraid that Obama is going to become a rubber stamp for Nancy Pelosi's San Fransisco Agenda (whatever that means).
Evil? Who is calling them evil? God forbid that the government choose to allow these people to continue to get richer, but just do so ever so slightly slower instead of relying on taxing those who can barely make ends meet in regards to their necessities or borrowing obscene amounts of money. It's the end of the world I tell you and it's just not fair! :roll:
What are you babbling about? McCain has made it a point to repeatedly (and dishonestly) assert that Obama will raise the average American's taxes. This is simply untrue. Considering how few people earn more than $250,000 a year in income, along with the general demographics of this forum, there is a substantial statistical probability that bobcpg also does not earn $250,000 or more per year and will likely get more of 'his paycheck money' under Obama's plan than McCain's.
I'm not sure why I had to explain that.
Edit: switched the names around. oops.
Anything good to happen during the next Presidency from day 1 will be attributed to Obama by the lefties and their media.
Anything bad to happen will be blamed on the George Bush.
Just wait until the deficit explodes. Paul Krugman and company were anti deficit in 2002 but have already started backpedaling and are now pro deficit.
Of course, if we get hit by terrorism in 2009, people will start asking questions.......

Err, what? Nixon and Agnew were born to simple families, and there are probably many others that fit that criteria.

Sorry, but that bomb already went off on your presidents watch... Acutally I shouldsay your president already set off that bomb. Obama will be the one to fix the problems caused by Bush and the reps, not make it worse.

If Barack Obama becomes president, he won?t have the same knee-jerk opposition to spending. But he will face a chorus of inside-the-Beltway types telling him that he has to be responsible, that the big deficits the government will run next year if it does the right thing are unacceptable.
He should ignore that chorus. The responsible thing, right now, is to give the economy the help it needs. Now is not the time to worry about the deficit.
Is he? You know the Bush tax cuts don't expire until 2010, right?
This is exactly what concerns me the most. That Barack, though smart, is inexperienced and will get strongarmed by the much more seasoned Pelosi/Reid/Kennedy far left segment of his party. They will package their liberal agenda amidst the reform bills and dare Barack to veto it, which I believe he won't do.
If he turns out to be a centrist, I will be pleasantly surprised. But I just don't see 'Clinton' in him. Hopefully, he will surprise me.
you run a surplus in good economic times and a deficit in bad economic times. This is basic keynesian economics, and has been practiced wince the great depression.
on the otherhand, republicans want to run deficits in the boom years (thereby adding to the boom/bust nature of the cycle) and run surpluses in the bad years.
I am not 100% familiar with them specifically. I am going off some info that was relayed to me, but even if that information is proven wrong about them being the "first" it is still very true that they are the first in a long time and it is true that they will represent the majority of America very well. They have been in most of our shoes before. The same cannot be said about McCain whose experiences throughout most of his life are far from that of most Americans.
