It''s a rediculous argument that Republicans keep trying to say, "He''ll tax us a million percent".

It''s the Republicans who have created the LARGEST GOVERNMENT in American history, the LARGEST DEBT in American history, the LARGEST BUDGET DEFICIT in American history, and MORE INTERNATIONAL BORROWING than any adiministration in history.

Do they not think that SOMEONE is going to pay for Republican frivious spending? If they stau in office, it won''t be the rich (they''ll get more tax cuts). It''s middle class Americans who get to foot the bill.

So much for the notion of Republican "small government" or fiscal responsibility.

Just this morning on the news, the oil execs said that 15 billion dollar profit is not too high. They reinvest it back into the business. When I ran a business the profit was after all expenses are paid. Who are they trying to fool. Also they predict $7 a gallon for gas in 2 years and $12 a gallon in 5 years. This will drive up the number of house forclosures, car sales will plumet, food costs will triple, business will close down, millions of people will be out of work, nobody will be able to afford health care, why? Because of the greed of BIG OIL. We need politicans who will not take kickbacks from big corporations and stand up for whats right. It would be interesting to see how much money the candidates have received from big oil. In the meantime O''''bama is trying to buy his way into government. Hillary surely can''''t handle a checkbook. The good Democrats were out of the race after Iowa.

Of this 20 million, 11 million is owed to herself. She is in debt becaus Obama has run the most expensive campaign in history and she had to try to compete. And don''''t fool yourself into thinking his contributions are all from people like you and me. If you believe that you deserve what you will get.

If she can''t manage a political campaign (one she has been preparing for over 8 years), how on earth could she manage the country?

Just who I want running this country. A woman with a mind to spend other people''''s money and no credit limit. If Osama doesn''''t scare you that sure should. She''''s 20 Million in the hole and still campaigning.

Democrats now are holding the edge with $7.4 million in campaign contributions compared with $7 million for GOP candidates, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, which tracks political spending.
The difference is more pronounced in the presidential race. Drug and device makers have contributed $639,124 to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., $574,828 to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., and $168,300 to Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. The center calculated the totals based on data released Feb. 28 by the Federal Election Commission.
I guess we can''t expect any kind of help on drug prices no matter who wins.
I guess what OBAMA means by CHANGE is that the money from BIG BUSINESS will (Already has) CHANGED HANDS! Good luck America!

Saddam Hussein had "free" elections. His was the only name on the ballot. Guess that''s where Hillary learned to count.

HILLARY CLINTON IS JUST ANOTHER RALPH NADER

She knows she can''t win. She lost. She now simply wants to destroy the party.

So, Hillary and I finally have something in common, and we both can thank the Cowardly Cowboy Bush for the circumstances!

The only person really benefiting from Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton staying in the contest and prolonging it is Sen. John McCain! Maybe Sen. McCain will pay Sen. Clintons campaign debts off for her! Sen. Clintons recent victories ring hollow and are Rush Limbaugh inspired Republicans supporting Operation Chaos voting for her, Republicans who want to run against Sen. Clinton and not Sen. Obama! Just think about it, how could a candidate claim to have the majority of popular votes but no money to back it up and be $20 million, some estimates say $30 million in debt, in serious red ink! It doesn''t add up, its false support, fake Republican votes for Hillary especially in contrast to Sen. Obama who raised $31 million in April with no debt that can''t be easily paid off! Smoke and Mirrors Hillary, don''t believe the hype! Money talks and bullshiite walks and you don''t have the money to support the fake Republican votes for you! Hillary is being scammed by Rush Limbaugh!

In the name of patriotism, we have participated in a planned deception to create a state of permanent war. In the name of profit, America has been sacrificed on the altar of the god of war, to create a global empire based on the mass-marketing of death.

%u201CWe are opposed...by a ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.

Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. It conducts the [war] with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match...%u201D %u2013John F Kennedy, 1961.

Go ahead and vote for the personality not the Principaled or the more than worthy to lead cause he see''s and tell''s you the truth and its not good.

I predict futur happiness for Americans if they can prevent the goverment from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them. "Thomas Jefferson"


%u201COne of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.%u201D Plato


%u201CUnfortunately, nothing will preserve [liberty] but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are inevitably ruined.%u201D Patrick Henry

And we want this woman to run the country when she''s unable to keep track of finances in her own house? Our economy is going down the drain, and we desperately need leadership, but to depend on someone who is unable to bail herself out is unthinkable. No wonder she keeps on saying that she is ahead in the polls since she is unable to keep track of numbers. WE cannot allow ourselves to get further into depth for even now, with the debt that GW has put all of us in, several generations or even more will have to pay for it and these generations will even be worst off than us.
