Who will it be, Barack Hussain Obama Joe Biden or John Sidney McCain and Sarah Palin?

Why, since Obama doesn't GO by including his middle name, did YOU include it, while NOT including either Palin or Biden's middle name?

Nice dishonest move on your part.

I did not know what it was and nor does it really matter. So stop making mountains out of mole hills.

Riiiiight. Obama's opponents have been trying to tie him to radical islam. You already stated you're not voting for Obama. Do you think everyone is stupid? In short, you're full of shit.

:(

Did you forget replying to this above? You know, where you told me to go visit Kevorkian?

And yes, you're a bigot. And a liar.

If Barack Hussain Obama were name Barry Smith and pure Aryan Blooded, I still would not vote for him. He's not qualified.

I was kindly reminding you not to miss your scheduled Doctors appointments, it's not a good thing to be late.

Whatever makes you feel better, bigot.
Obviously you are familiar with some of his other postings

But I am not a biggot. That whole ordeal was taken out of context. I would vote for Condoleeza Rice as our first female president in a heartbeat.

I would vote for Condoleeza Rice as our first female president in a heartbeat, but Barack Obama is not qualified.

http://www.ratemyeverything.ne.../6134/0/Epic_Fail.ashx

Put a democrat in to office and their 200+ year history will repeat it's self with out fail. No taxes for Rich, poor, middle class, or business. They all deserve lower taxes so America as a whole prospers. Lower taxes and the economy will take off. Raise taxes on anyone and the economy will recede and inflation could accelerate.

McCain-Palin will lower taxes.
As will Obama for 95% of the country.

The TOP 5%- they are the economy stirrers. Give them money and they spend it on things like boats. The boat maker then hires large amounts of skilled people, those people then have money and spend it, employing other people, and so on.. Each one (man or business) paying a SMALL tax on the way.

Historically, time after time- the net result is trickled down. When ALL Citizens pay less percentage of income to the IRS, GDP rises, personal wealth for all grows, and government yields slightly more in revenue. It's a win-win.

All People prosper first and then government prospers. Don't let it be the other way around.


Besides, if we get McCain-Pain in there to cut most of the pork, there would be little need for higher taxes to begin with. I think Democrat Robert C. Byrd (the pork master) is shaking in his boots right now, as he fears the winds of Alaska blowing over D.C.
Sorry no offence but you've got to be joking if you are going to justify giving tax cuts to the top 5%!

Not at all. The middle class has disposable income, but not like the ones who need it and worked the hardest for. It's really the top 5% that fund venture capital and start business and new industries. The entire technology sector that we all love would not have been born had it not been for the spare cash those top five percenteres had.

It is because of the top 5% that we enjoy a decent middle class lifestyle, they are our employers.

I can see your perspective and agree to its principles, but not its application. Keep in mind that not giving tax cuts (or alternatively increasing taxes) to the top 5% does not necessarily translate to increased business activity. These people will continue to undertake new ventures and expand production as long as they are guaranteed a reasonable rate of return for the risk they bear. Thus, increasing taxes will reduce their expected return, but as long as this return exceeds their benchmark rate, they will continue to seek profit-making ventures.

There will be some effect no doubt, but the question naturally turns to whether any consequent business downturn exceeds the increased spending for the remaining 95% due to lower taxes (and higher discretionary income). I think it's reasonable to say that it would not. Furthermore, tax rates for the top 5% are ridiculously low compared to other countries and our budget deficit needs to be funded from somewhere so it is probably most just to fund it from the rich (ala the government becoming Robin Hood).

America has the second highest tax rate in the world.

I am not in the 5% club; but when I am, I will give you a call, offer you a decent well paid five figure position as my personal bench warmer. Should you elect a president whom as a result increases the tax load on my business and I am forced to make budget cuts, your job even though you were so good at it, unfortunately be the first that needs to go. You will be unemployed.

This is my promise, don't forget it. Some day you will be rewarded. :p

America doesn't have the second highest tax rate in the world. That's a convenient lie for the right wingers and Libertarians. For instance, England levies about $5 of tax (it varies, obviously) per gallon of gas. Your state might levy $.50. The English also have a VAT tax that is about 17%, last I heard. The USA's taxes are lower than the European taxes by a wide margin in most cases. http://www.worldwide-tax.com/index.asp#partthree

Here's a few other things McCain has stated.

Anything with out the full quote or anything out of out of context must not be taken seriously or given much credit at all.


Example (may not be fact). This goes for both parties:

    • From the ad: "I campaigned for XXXXX twice"
      What she/he may have really said in the full context: I campaigned for XXXXX twice but, I stand against his position on this _____ issue.

Find the full excerpt for each of those snippits and I may give it some credibility, otherwise; it's just smear junk with no deep meaning.

Here we have another typical Bushite partisan hack typically couching a partisan agenda in a seemingly innocuous circumstance, again.

Karl Christian Rove salutes you, and bids you an "atta boy" for keeping his despicable practices alive and well.

Please remove my vote from your tainted poll.

Thank you.:disgust:

I am foreign and I voted because a friend of mine from college gave me his vote. He votes what I say. It's simple he doesn't care, and I do.

Obama has Support of Terrorist Clerics and other extreme Anti-American groups. His victory is just what they want, lets not appease them as Reagan warned all of us.

Just as Reagan warned, Obama wants to disarm the US military and cut all spending on research, development, and future spending; leaving us near defenseless like we were in the 1920-1930's when our military was in 3rd world condition. (See Arsenal of Democracy)

We're screwed when Obama der fuhrer genocidal baby murderer takes office.


(The Election Campaign Parallels between Obama and Hitler just before they took power are remarkably similar. The two are near mirror clones of each other in political issues and beliefs. Both are socialists)

Nazi Party = Democratic Party (no difference)

Obama Supports the 700+ billion dollar bail out and McCain opposes it. This damn bailout plan is going to cost every American Tax Payer, both rich, middle class, and poor $7,000 each on the next April 15th. Such a plan must be stoppped. Paulson (whom Obama Supports) has criteria in the bill that states no one, no court, or legal entity can challenge this bail out plan. Such madness must be stopped before we're doomed. This Soviet Russia type legal document needs to be stopped, liberal government is too strong, too powerful.

Elect McCain, call your senator and congressman to possibly Prevent this bail out from taking place.

I'll be writing-in or voting third party.

Anyone that votes for either McCain or Obama because they believe they are a good choice to lead our country is a fool.

If you vote for either McCain or Obama in order to prevent the other from winning than you are the one wasting your vote.

Simple as that.

No, I don't make that much. I make less. But I don't wan't any higher taxes anywhere. Less money in the economy is always a bad thing, especially when the top 5% employ the bottom 80%. Don't we need more jobs?
Bush already gave tax cuts to the rich, and look what we got: 600,000 jobs lost in 2008 so far.

McCain = More of the same
