- Sen. Obama''s open willingness above to admit how he will steal from the rich at gun point so he can give this money to his Democrat minions to purchase their vote pretty well assures us all, any moral fiber remaining in the Democrat Party has now been dissolved.
I have to wonder exactly what kind of un-American anyone voting for people who conduct business like this would have to be?? - Reply to this comment

- When I see Sen. Obama''s plan to bail out this socialist program created by the Democrat Party, I''m reminded of why I view all Democrat as criminals.
For once again he makes it clear about how the votes of all those who vote Democrat are for sale. And, if this isn''t criminal, it''s flat out un-American at a minimum.
Sen. Obama''s promise to steal from the rich and give to his minions is the common thread running through every Democrat campaign I ever hear.
The only question any Democrat politician need figure, "How much largess do I need promise to get their vote?" - Reply to this comment

Well THAT''s pretty much BS.
1. During the last session of Bill Clinton''s Administration the REPUBLICANs had control of Congress and their GridLocking almost cause the country to come to a complete halt. (Remember when Gov''t shut down for 3 weeks because the REPUBLICANS were proposing a budget that was too big and Clinton was fighting them)
2. Then BUSH came into office with a nice big surplus the Clinton left him with. Plus, the REPUBLICANS still had control of congress. The REPUBLICANS squandered the surplus PLUS HAVE RUN UP RECORD DEFICITS.
3. Then Democrats have a majority in the 110th Congress, but not a big enough majority to stop the REPUBLICANS GridLock and over ride Presidential Veto''s.
Like it or not, it''s the freakin'' REPUBLICAN party that''s put this country into the c rapper.
Come Novemeber it''s gonna change!!!
Vote Obama 08! - Reply to this comment
- "Some Democrats are questioning Obama''s decision to address Social Security at all. The program is expected to bring in less in taxes than it disburses in benefits sometime in the next decade, although the Social Security Board of Trustees estimates that interest on the program''s bond holdings will keep it from running a deficit until at least 2041."
Because Barack Obama wants to fix problems NOW, rather than kicking ''em down the road...like every other politician has done in the past. - Reply to this comment
- "If you believe you should pay more taxes, I am the wrong candidate for you. Senator Obama is your man," McCain said in a speech as he began an economic-themed campaign tour in Denver yesterday. "The choice in this election is stark and simple. Senator Obama will raise your taxes. I won''t. "
McCorpse in either a freakin'' LIER or Senile. He knows Obama''s plan is to LOWER taxes on Middle Class Americans by doing away with the TAX CUTS FOR THE WEALTHIEST 1% of Americans.
Either McCorpse is purposedly misleading the public or he''s senile. - Reply to this comment
- "Combined with Obama''s proposed increases on income taxes for upper-income Americans and state taxes, Republicans argue, individuals who make more than $250,000 could face close to 50 cents in taxes on every dollar that they earned over $250,000 under a President Obama."
Ahh, poor babies. Maybe I''m a freakin'' socialist, but I love to be in that position. Just how many luxury cars, millions houses, and Armani suits does somebody need? - Reply to this comment
- Obama is an idiot. Plain and simple. His experience includes roughly 143 days in the Senate. Period. He''''s an arrogant creep and he will start a civil war in this country. Let''''s just see how the convention plays out.
Go Hillary!

Yours may have, but for the rest of America, they started when Nixon sold the gold in the US treasory on the open market, starting on August 19, 1972.
Shortly afterward, Detroit started relocating its factories to South East Asia, laying off millions of autoworkers, and starting a ripple that went through the steel, coal, rubber, glass, and other related industries (including some not so related industries, like the live entertainment industries), Detroit never recovered from this blow.

- The Christian Science Monitor says [the Democrat-controlled] Congress is squirming in its seat, and for good reason:
"A recent Gallup Poll confirms what many lawmakers say they''re hearing from their constituents: that confidence in Congress has never been lower. Only 12 percent of Americans say they have a "great deal" or "quite a lot" of confidence in Congress as an institution - the lowest level ever for any US institution since Gallup began asking the question 35 years ago. Congressional job approval, a slightly different question, has dropped to 18 percent."

- Interesting that the IRAQI LEADERS have stated THEY WANT US OUT OF THEIR COUNTRY - complete with the demand of a timetable to leave or GET OUT NOW.
Guess they got FED UP with the "oil sharing" agreement that BUSHCO/mcSame wanted to shove down their throats.
NOW WILL McCain do as HE STATED - that IF the elected Iraqi Government SAID to leave - he would agree to LEAVE - or will he FIND A NEW EXCUSE to push the CORPORATE POWER/OIL GRAB? - Reply to this comment

Good post. - Reply to this comment
- Bush ought to be ashamed but my guess is that he''s Proud of his accomplishments.
I have to admit He''s busily RECREATING some of America''s most MEMORABLE TIMES - too bad they are some of our WORST memories.
- Taking a budget SURPLUS down to a DEBT that''s the HIGHEST in American HISTORY and coupled with War costs like THE DISASTROUS GERMAN WWI WAR budget WILL RECREATE the German Wiemar Government''s MEMORABLE CURRENCY DEVALUATION.
- Income DISPARITY ALREADY EXCEEDING the WEALTH GAP that CREATED the Great Depression has us at a TIPPING Point and has ALWAYS in the past RECREATED a massive Depression.
-Since he SKIPPED OUT on serving in VIETNAM, Bush has "DECIDED" to RECREATE THAT DEBACLE - NOT once but twice and is trying for a third - Afghanistan, Iraq and soon maybe Iran.
-Russia AND China have hinted that IF Bush attacks Iran- Bush will be RECREATING the WORLD WARS of the First Half of our century.
-HIS "outsourcing" with NO real HUMAN RIGHTS restrictions on the CORPORATIONS that he has REWARDED - Bush has put a NEW twist on RECREATING SLAVERY.
Then Bush has ALSO nostalgically RECREATED the ROBBER BARON ERA - complete with MONOPOLIES and "Teapot Dome" style TREACHERY.
Yep, Bush has RECREATED so many of the "good old days" that HIS SOCIAL CIRCLE SO LOVED. - Reply to this comment
- Obama wants us Americans to leave a new legacy for our children.
And that is to be free from the Tyranny of OIL that Republicans still want to use to enforce Serfdom. - Reply to this comment
- Hillary is dumb she stupidly voted for that war in Iraq which demonstrated her lack of experience as a legislature.
Barack Obama has had way more elected office experience then Hillary.
Being First Lady doesn''t count and it shows!
Look at what that war vote has done to our economy? - Reply to this comment
