And then you have the propagandist (sheep herders) that actually do pay attention and know that Obama is not a Muslim, know that Bush, Cheney and McCain are in the pockets of Big Oil, know that climate change is real, know that the Republicans have been stonewalling in Congress, know that Rove belongs in jail for multiple crimes against this country, know that the Iraq war was and still is about oil, know billions are being siphoned off in Iraq by war profiteering contractors, know that we have the most unequal distribution of wealth and income of any major nation in the industrialized world and yet they continue to stand before the American people and state otherwise (lie) while knowing the actual truth all along.

Who is a greater threat to America today?

OBAMA WANTS TO TAX TO DEATH THE PLACE YOU WORK. SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR JOB!!

John McCain will balance the budget by the end of his first term. The near-term path to balance is built on three principles:

Reasonable economic growth. Growth is an imperative - historically the greatest success in reducing deficits (late 1980s; late 1990s) took place in the context of economic growth.


Comprehensive spending controls. Bringing the budget to balance will require across-the-board scrutiny of spending and making tough choices on new spending proposals.


Bi-partisanship in budget efforts. Much as the late 1990s witnessed bipartisan efforts to put the fiscal house in order, bi-partisan efforts will be the key to undoing the recent spending binge.

In the long-term, the only way to keep the budget balanced is successful reform of the large spending pressures in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

McCain Policies Will Support Reasonable Economic Growth: Small business is the key to job growth. Small business will benefit from:

Low individual tax rates - sole-proprietorships, partnerships, landlords and others are taxed under the individual income tax.


Access to capital from low tax rates on dividends and capital gains.


Minimizing expensive mandates - such as those for health insurance and pro-union initiatives like card check.


Enhancing international competitiveness to keep jobs here; not abroad.
A lower corporate tax rate.

MCCAIN WILL RESTART OUR ECONOMY!! HE GETS IT!!!

John McCain''s approach to helping sub-prime or other financially strapped mortgage borrowers is built on sound principles:

No taxpayer money should bail out real estate speculators or financial market participants who failed to perform due diligence in assessing credit risks. Any assistance for borrowers should be focused solely on homeowners and any government assistance to the banking system should be based solely on preventing systemic risk.


Any policy of financial assistance should be accompanied by reforms that promote greater transparency and accountability to ensure we never face this problem again.

JOHN MCCAIN...DRILL NOW!!! OBAMA AND POLOSI say NO!!

John McCain will repeal the 54 cents per gallon tax on imported sugar-based ethanol, increasing competition, and lowering prices of gasoline at the pump.


John McCain will roll back corn-based ethanol mandates, which are contributing to the rising cost of food.

If Mccain Picks Massachussets Gov Mit Romney, he will blow away Obama!

John McCain believes we should send a strong message to world markets. Under his plan, the United States will be telling oil producing countries and oil speculators that our dependence on foreign oil will come to an end - and the impact will be lower prices at the pump.


John McCain''s policies will increase the value of the dollar and thus reduce the price of oil. In recent years, the declining value of the dollar has added to the cost of imported oil. This will change. Americans will have a stronger economy, a stronger dollar and greater purchasing power for oil, gas and food.

Bobby Jindal Can%u2019t Think of Any McCain Ideas

from Think Progress:

Yesterday on NBC%u2019s Meet the Press, host David Gregory asserted that the Republican Party %u201Cused to be the party of big ideas.%u201D Gregory then asked his guest Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA), %u201CWhat%u2019s the big idea Senator McCain is campaigning on?%u201D Jindal responded, %u201CI think there%u2019s several,%u201D but couldn%u2019t provide an answer. Gregory asked again, %u201CWhere are the new big ideas of the Republican Party that John McCain is, is championing?%u201D And again Jindal couldn%u2019t provide an answer.

What we have been saying all along, take away the slander and smear of Obama and there is no actual McCain campaign. There is no nothing there.

Still don''t beleive me, go to the RNC.org website. Here is a sampling of what they have under *News*:

Well, I might have to change my mind on McCain, he impressed me. Obama, he gave some good answers, but still not the right ones IMO.

I''m still undecided about McCain, but Obama needs to take a more responsible stance on a lot of key (to me) issues.

Ted Sampley, who fought with US Special Forces in Vietnam and is now a leading campaigner for veterans'' rights, said: ''I have been following John McCain''s career for nearly 20 years. I know him personally. There is something wrong with this guy and let me tell you what it is - deceit.

''When he came home and saw that Carol was not the beauty he left behind, he started running around on her almost right away. Everybody around him knew it.

''Eventually he met Cindy and she was young and beautiful and very wealthy. At that point McCain just dumped Carol for something he thought was better.

''This is a guy who makes such a big deal about his character. He has no character. He is a fake. If there was any character in that first marriage, it all belonged to Carol.''

One old friend of the McCains said: ''Carol always insists she is not bitter, but I think that''s a defence mechanism. She feels deeply in his debt because in return for her agreement to a divorce, he promised to pay for her medical care for the rest of her life.''

But Ross Perot, who paid her medical bills all those years ago, now believes that both Carol McCain and the American people have been taken in by a man who is unusually slick and cruel - even by the standards of modern politics.

''McCain is the classic opportunist. He''s always reaching for attention and glory. After he came home, Carol walked with a limp. So he threw her over for a poster girl with big money from Arizona. And the rest is history.''

Obama told a crowd of his loony supporters: "Look, I got two daughters %u2014 9 years old and 6 years old," he said. "I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don''t want them punished with a baby."

No, he doesn''t want to punish his daughters. He wants to punish the innocent and helpless baby by cold-bloodedly murdering it.

This man cannot be a Christian. He is the anti-Christ.

In an interview with CBN''s David Brody after the Saddleback Forum, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, said his anti-abortion opponents were misrepresenting his position on an abortion bill in Illinois.

Corsi''s new book alleges that Obama is on the extreme left of American politics, and has extensive connections to Islam and with radical racial politics.

"He was registered as a Muslim. The documentation -- I thoroughly researched it from the Indonesian newspapers and Indonesian television. He attended mosque with his stepfather," he said on CNN''s Larry King Live on Wednesday night. "The friends who were in school with him attest that he was then considered a Muslim. And that''s the testimony of the people in Indonesia who grew up in those six years."

It`s fun talking crazy and making up stuff, now I see why so many engage in it! lol On a more serious note Sen. McCain will make a fine President and so will Sen. Obama. It`s time to get the U.S. financial house in order, it`s time to rebuild America`s infrastructure, it`s time to repair and rebuild our military, it`s time to give our over deployed and stressed troops a break! As I`ve Posted several times before, if endless war is in our future then maybe Sen. McCain should be President, but if peace can be in our future then maybe Sen. Obama should be President.

Since Jesus wasn''t a racist, then I have to assume that a racist like you is also the anti-Christ. Jesus was supposed to care for people of all races.

Barack Hussein Muhammad Obama is guilty of infanticide. If elected he wants to use taxpayers money to fund abortions. Hussein obviously puts the rights of a muslim terrorist above that of an innocent infant.

Obama is the anti-Christ.

louthesz9,

What is your philosophy regarding what should happen to illegal immigrants?

Some people are mad that the promised fence hasn''''t been built yet. Since the majority of construction laborers in the southwest are Mexicans, would it be illegal immigrants who build the fence? It won''''t be the National Guard, they are occupied in Iraq. Who would we get to go to the Mexican border in the 110 degree heat to construct the fence? I know I''''m not going.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Posted by minnick8 at 01:09 AM : Aug 18, 2008



I''m in favor of enforcement first and that means raiding businesses that hire the illegals and building the double-layered fence that GWB has refused to build. What should we do to the illegals that''re already here?? That''s up to the next POTUS to decide, but that fence has to be put up first. Otherwise, no Amnesty, no guest-worker program for the illegals. And it doesn''t have to be the Mexicans who will build the fence. I''m willing to go if called on duty, because I see the long-term benefits of having that fence erected along the border which outweigh the short-term downsides like the 110 degree heat you mentioned (how come the Egyptians managed to build the Great Pyramids, considering that Egypt has more scorching temperatures and building pyramids like that were more taxing than building fences??). You and others of your type are a bunch of weenies.
