Really.. I would love for you to point me to a news story or an ad that shows Obamas sleazy campaign.


Republicans start to tuck their tail the minute they get called on the crap they have been spewing.. Run RUN! =p

[dak]

I may have to vote McCain just because his running resulted in tad changing his fucking avatar. Every time he posted that thing made me wanna impale a baby on a spike.

[Designz]

All the Republicans have is Barrack HUSSEIN Obama and his "close relationship" with known baby-eating terrorists.

Ahhh..

I can feel all the happiness and optimism being sucked out of the Right.... It makes victory all that much sweeter when the other side, at least for a little bit, had an illusion of victory.

We know that feeling very well.

Having FOX in McCain's front pocket doesn't count as media?

So which candidate has a more favourable policy proposal / record on foreign trade deals (in your eyes) ?

Now that Geneva has broke down and our export sector is one of the few things on the rise, the upcoming years could see some crucial work in this area.

FOX News is the #1 cable outlet by a far margin. Not only that but AM, FM, and satellite talk radio is dominated by Conservative talk show hosts bashing Obama 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. Rupert Murdock owns the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post. The notion of Liberal Media bias is a ploy used for political gain only for the stupid. It has no validity with thinking people. I concede that thinking people are in the minority in this country.

Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity make over $500 million combined. That is much more than any broadcast news anchor. The #1 cable show, Bill O'Reilly is a conservative.

That argument may have been true when Ronald Reagan was President but not any longer. Only an idiot would agree with that statement.

Arizona has personal income taxes. It is below the national average, but we still have one.

Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming are the ONLY states that have absolutely no state income tax on personal income (such as from a job). Some do tax personal income from dividends and such.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding this top 1% income thing, or its being misrepresented, but if your making money that puts you in the top 1%, then your not running a small business, even if the paperwork says you are.

When I hear "small business" i think of the local privately owned hardware store or flower shop. The small restaurants etc etc. I refuse to believe that Toms Flowers or Jose's Mexican Fiesta is pulling in the top 1% of profits for the country.

I'm sure other people feel the same way. So saying that Obama will raise taxes for small businesses, while technically correct, is horribly misleading.

How do they get away with that? Do they have like HUGE sales tax or something? I'd like a nice 20% raise by moving out there!

Yea.. for real about the "liberal" media.

We have a radio station here in New Haven that goes...
Imus (which is cool)
Beck (sometimes funny)
Rush (fuckard)
Hannity (Fuckardeder)
Levin (un-listenable, so I can't tell you)
John Gibson (I feel kinda bad for him)

Thats 15-18 hours a day of straight hardcore partisanship.

Actually, if a person listens for 6+ hours a day, its indoctrination by any standard.

Then on Fox you have Cavuto, OReilly (who isnt that bad really) and Hannity who are all openly conservative advocates.

If you have any spare time between your double plus good thought correction sessions, you can go on the internet and hit the Washington Times, National Review, Free Republic, or Newsmax to get more of the same constant, relentless drumbeat pounded into your skull.

Well, in Texas, at least - the sales tax is fairly high (usually 8.25%, 6.25 of which goes to state) though several things are not taxed (lots of groceries, etc). Also, Texas has rather high property taxes I believe (Usually about $3-$4 per $100 your home is worth.)
