I like a lot of women,was a Hillary suporter.I was thinking about voting for Obamba.After his remark,that slavery,was the worst thing in this country and what we did to the Indians,was cruelty.I will never vote for Obamba.What we did to the Indians,makes me cring in shame.We took away everything that they stood for.We killed most of them.The ones that are left are treated as,second class,way below the blacks.Everyone one knows slavery was loathsome,but atleast they along with the other people of color the Asians,Mexicans and all the others (including the whites,that is a color!) are still here in a big Majority and living they''re lifes and if you read our history,the Indains treated us with kindness,when they came over on the Mayflower.
It was the greed of our Forefathers that was the worst thing that happened in AMERICA.They almost killed off all those true Americans.I think Obamba is s reverse Bigot.I will not vote for McCain or Obamba.

So he will what hijack the three branches of the government all by himself?

Can you answer the question GetReal?

I am still waiting to hear how you think Obama will turn the country communist or socialist.

Don''''t give me a rant about the Democrats.

I really want to know how you think he could do this. The founding fathers set the country up in a way with 3 branches of the government. The whole checks and balances thing that we all learned in grade school.

Even if every single Democrat would allow the country to turn communist or socialist do you really think the Repubs and the public would allow this.

It is not plausible.

READ AS GetRealTex - Stormy Texan - Rowdy RIPS APART the sister of a 911 victim last night:
--------------
""I was on William''''s Street on September 11th looking up at my sister''''s building burning (she worked in Tower 1) so please don''''t even question my patriotism of this country...

Posted by mel13nygirl ""
--------------

""Please don''''t pull this emotional ***** like some kind of guilt package that someone should give YOU respect for it when your sister died.

What has your sister dying on 911 got to do with your ignorant allegations that BUSH has ruined this country?

You see, there lies YOUR little problem, mairin27, what I''''''''''''''''m posting are FACTS!

Your NOT posting FACTS!! Your Posting Believes because of what Ayers has said. You have NO physical Evidence to prove that Obama was engaged in any Terrorist Acts Or any Training camps. That''''''''s FACT

I agree and when GetReal/Stormy Texan/Rowdy is asked to provide "facts" what you get is childish name calling, insults and slurs.

Why has GetReal/Stormy Texan/Rowdy changed her screen name so often? Hmmm?

She is disturbed. Lucky for her the following bill passed yesterday. I strongly suggest she take advantage of it:
Oct. 8, 2008 - A new law could boost insurance coverage for many Americans in need of mental health and substance abuse treatment.

The big economic bailout passed by Congress and signed by the president last week had an attachment. Part of the bill said insurance companies must now cover mental health and substance abuse services on "parity" with medical and surgical treatments.

Under the bill, which goes into effect in 2010, group insurance plans that cover mental illness already must now equalize its value with medical and surgical coverage. The number of covered visits, the cost of copays, and the total value of treatment covered each year would have to be on par.

Such clashes have left more than 800 people dead and forced 300,000 from their homes since the Dec. 27 election, which pitted Kibaki, the incumbent, against Odinga. The violence has often degenerated into ethnic clashes over decades-old grudges about land and resources, with much of the anger -- and attacks -- aimed at the Kikuyu, who are resented for their long domination of politics and the economy.
Friday''''s deal was mediated by Kofi Annan, the former U.N. secretary-general, and it laid out a plan to end the violence before moving onto the tougher political issues at the root of the fighting. Annan said it should take two weeks to decide the immediate crisis and up to a year for the deeper problems.

Someone who''''s bettered themselves to assure that they have a good job that can support the lifestyle that they want to have.....gets DRAINED because someone else gets their money!

Ever consider that someone that gets an education with a guaranteed loan makes more and pays more in taxes and uses less services than someone that does not. Their children likewise are likely to progress up the ladder of success. the old axiom says it takes money to make money -- proving help to one eventually helps many and spreads the burdens of continuing the process to even more people.

Ever consider that the stated tax rates are so high because there are so many exemptions that lower someone''s income. If exemptions were less and based on necessities including possible caps the percentages for the brackets could be considerably lower and more reflective of what is actually paid.

The person making 250,000 a year has no use for welfare or food stamps why should he sudsidise you family?


Posted by Mccain08NC at 03:00 PM

Generally the answer to your question is fairness --

The person on food stamps has no use for the FDIC, SEC, and a host of other government agencies -- why should they subsidize the more affluent that benefit from these programs? Why is Social security capped -- the rich collect social security too.

The other whack job idea in social security is that YOU don''''t even contribute all of the money put in it in your name...your employer has PAID HALF OF IT!

And YOU want to raise his income taxes as well!

Posted by GetRealTex at 02:58 PM

Except when you are self employed -- you were even discussing that earlier -- did you forget?
