SEE THIS IS Saint REAGAN, GET THEM SO LOW THEY CAN''T AFFORD IT, AND THEN WE CAN DO AWAY WITH IT. The people can fen for themselves.We pay all of those up in Wash D.C. and they better know it, we vote them out all of them till they get it. If they want to fix the voting machine we will get that right by screaming to every state to do it no, do not wait till 2 weeks before voting time to find irregularities , sick of the whole bunch, the whole crooked bunch

How do you expect a man who has 7 houses a wife making 4.2million dollars to care about a person with no job, no health care, no mortgage money, because they lost there job. Tell me that, That is why he is a Republican, they can''t be bothered with that stuff. Honestly every time he opens his mouth he puts his lying foot in it. You Palin mc Same folks are so duped it is pathetic.If you don''t see after 8 yrs of Bush, to put a man that has followed him as close as anyone than you deserve what you get, but we don''t deserve another day of Bush policies and LIES

Lets face it Mc Same wants to continue the Bush policies and add to it, look at social security PRIVATIZE,HE SAYS medicare,heck the elderly has no care now, because doctors can''t do it anymore for what medicare gives them, it is a disgrace, children born with afflictions, too much we can''t do it. Let a bank or investment bank get in trouble write a check immediately. There are people in this country who do need help, but you will not see a REPUBLICAN CARE AT ALL.NEVER.MCSAME IS A FIRST CLASS DOUBLE TALKER SO BEWARE FOLKS WAR AND BANKS IS ALL THEY CARE ABOUT.

And 8 straight years of Supply Side as part of 20 out of 28 in terms of the Presidency adding in additional years for significant Republican Senate majorities supporting supply side economics led us to today''s failed economy -- clearly time for a change.

Common sense should tell people McCain if he is elected is going to have to raise taxes on someone.

He is raising taxes on everyone by making health care premiums taxable. Assuming your income remains the same your taxes will go up under Senator McCain.

Common sense should tell people McCain if he is elected is going to have to raise taxes on someone. And it won''t be his rich buddies! When more money is going out than is coming it''s a recipe for a national disaster!!! That''s why we are in the mess we are in George Bush borrowed us into oblivion and didn''t bother paying a dime of it back. That''s all the Republican''s know cut taxes and send the country into an economic tailspin. When are you people going to wise up to what Republican''s are????? When you have bankrupted the country????

Funny how nobody keeps bringing up schtuff on Obama.

Whether or not he''s telling the truth on McCain is one thing.

NEEDERBAUR: You are ignorant about Senator Obama. You Republicans are going to lose and lose big on November 4th. All you have is fear and lies. Stop your rightwinged propaganda you mindless lackey.

George Bush doubled the national debt from $5.5 trillion in 2001 to $11.4 trillion by 2009. Our budget defict this year is will be $480 billion. Our trade deficit, trillion dollar wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and trillion dollar tax cuts for the wealthy and Big Oil have been paid for by borrowed money from China. The Wall street bailout is a total repudiation for deregulation of markets preached by Republicans. Republicans are going to get beat soundly on 4 November. Get used to saying "PRESIDENT OBAMA."

So. who do you think dug all this dirt up on Joe It don''t matter he owes money or tax lein or any thing else alot of us do it''s his business. Yes he still is the american dream to own a business and employ legal people working legal in the USA..The question that Joe asked was a good one but i"ll have to say the answer really made me think. Think about how Obama got his wealth- not from working.it really was from spreading the wealth from crooks hands to his. Just who do you think dug all this dirt up -yes there are alot of joe''s out here small business make up most of the work force these are the people that better be getting all the help they can .all the big places are taking the work out of the country and getting all the tax breaks if you own a business and employ 20 or more people you should make 250.000a year its worth that usually a small business owner works 10 times harder than his employee''s whatever it takes you have to do it You are lucky if you can show a profit before 5 or 7 yrs if you don''t go under frist. I know I was a joe at one time- so that was a bad answer for this joe .We better start thinking about small business esp if we want to have a job ,so many of them hire all the illegle- pay them cash -pay no tax they are doing this TO stay in business no wonder so many people are loosing their homes so many people turing to drugs we need someone in the white house who realize, now is sure not the time add tax''s on small business owners.

These politicians are insane. My bet is that by Nov 4th, the left will accuse McCain will be a space alien and Palin of eating her children.

While Obama would raise our taxes to pay for his.

Obama has told us how much MORE he wants to spend, but NOT how he plans to pay for it.

NEEDERBAUR: Stop you hogwash you are totally wrong. Senator Obama is not a socialist. Senator Obama is in favor of the proper regulation of capitalism. The Wall Street bailout was caused in large part by the 1999 Gramm-Leach Bill that deregulated investment banks. This bill was pushed by the Senate Republicans signed by President Clinton. But under the Bush Administration there has been a total lack of enforcement and resources for the FTC and SEC who are supposed to regulate Wall Street. Republicans have wanted deregulation since the Reagon Administration.

Deregulation brought the Savings and Loan bailout and now the bailout for Wall Street investment banks. Look at our $11.4 trillion national debt ceiling that Bush is responsible for this disaster. We can not afford any more deregulation or anymore Republicans in the White House. Guess what Dems have a good chance of getting 60 votes in the Senate. The GOP does not care about average people who do not have health insurance, lost money in the stock market, or who have lost their jobs. That is why they are going to lose this election in November.

Well Raheem. Maybe they should begin looking wherever you''re at. Joe is Joe. A guy that asked a question. He suppose he has a family, maybe. Possibly children. They''re lives aren''t bettered by the pointless games you all are playing. They don;t deserve to be the recipients of all the hate the left has conjured up. He''s our brother and fellow American and did his duty by being involved in the process in an honorable way. I trust Joe without even knowing him long before I would trust the people that tash him and dig through his records and invade his privacy. These people are acting like hate frenzied Nazis. Can''t you all see that?

Part 4

It will require a lot of things but the beauty of it all is that the many can be but a few, it just depends on how your mind interprets the world. A value sytem that honors life and all life brings changes things that once seemed a chore into things of beauty, if not joy.

Again, it''s 1 am and the sun is shining. You should come out to play.

Peace.

Part 3

What has this pary''s mentality done for us? It''s given us no sense of community, dysfuntional families, a populace incapapble of rational thought and a populace of individuals acting like morons.

They''ve created a country full of people who don''t know the sun is shining and have nothing to share but hopelessness and depravity.

The solution is to muster the character to fix what''s broken. To call out those that undermine us and hold them responsible (please refrain from snagging this line for a cheap political slap) for the damage they have done. To stand up for what is right and what we know works. To want to get back into the sunshine and to recognize that our fellow man is not getting ahead by standing on our shoulders but by breaking his back and mind. To be free of the envy that prevents us from scratching a back before someone scratches ours. To be able to recognize that an anomally is not reality but an annoyance and to have the wisdom know the fool that thinks otherwise.

People will need to respect their neighbors minds and to leave it to them to decide truth and to not perpetually taint the world with falsehoods and indignities.

Part 2:

It''s wrong to drain the neighbors pockets to pay for our own dissatisfactions. They''re just like you and me and others here that have our own families, needs, priorities to take care of.

Besides, there are better ways to fix things than to choose to force our percieved inequities on others, to classify others with some jargon word in order to dehumanize those they are intent on taking from. It''s a mechanism that allows the obtrusive to ignore humanity so that they can act in an ordinarily shameful way.

One of our party''s sole function is to do just this. To assign names to people, dehumanize them so that others will feel justified an more open to taking what doesn''t belong to them. This party encourages it, needs it and thrives on it and is it.

There is no honor there. No intelligence, no dignity or pride. Just self serving mentaility focused only on the me and wants devoid of truth and respect. It''s animalistic and weak and only goes to show what a failure our social policies have become.

mairin27 - this will be in multiple parts...

Part 1:


Take it or leave it and that is up to you.

Nothing is free. It''s just a reality and we don''t have the money to spend.

You might be surprised to know that the Medicare plans that we provide to seniors are better and less expensive than what we get internally as employees. I''m ok with that as I am free to go elswhere.

I don''t mind because there is opportunity abound for those that choose to partake and would rather accept what life deals me and handle things on my own terms.
