Obama misses the point. When he was a kid HE decided to share his peanut butter sandwiches and his toys. That is noble. That is generous. But what if the school had MANDATED that he share his food and his toys? That would be different. That would be socialism.

What if Obama had said, ''When I was a kid, I shared Joe the Plumber''s peanut butter sandwiches and toys with the other kids in school?'' That is VASTLY DIFFERENT.

A story I heard from a friend in Europe -

"A man came up to me in Berlin who had just gotten out of East Germany, having escaped like many East Germans did. I was preaching in a church there and he wanted to make a comment. "Do you know what the difference is between Communism and Christianity?'' he asked? No, I answered. "Communism says - What''s yours is mine - Christianity says - What''s mine is yours.'' "

It is not the sharing thing. Sharing is good. It is the control thing. Who controls your ''goodness''? You or the state?

What does mcain really stand for?
His tactics are typical repuglican behaviour belittle, smear, lie, exaggerate, distort.
Can anyone here list what mcain really stands for?
By the way him calling Obama elitist was hilarious,this son of a millitary brass, whocheated on then ditched his faithful disfigured first wife to marry a palin-like billionaire beauty queen, can sure relate to the likes of joe the plumber

The political attacks are planned to distract from our thinking about the capability to analyze and communicate, the capability to have this analysis and communication result in good judgment in choosing advisors and in coordinating the best ideas for America, not just the simplistic ideas. The simplistic distractions are planned to keep voters from thinking about how much poor judgment (Like Keating Five, the relationship with the Bin Ladin family and the last eight years of agreeing with the administration on war and deregulation) costs Americans in resources and in life and limb.

The special interests and lobby groups want to buy government decisions on the cheap and take advantage of Americans without having to deal with the complex results that might cripple our nation. They get people from the top of their class to represent them and manipulate to take advantage. We are too lax about the possibility that we might be represented by those from the bottom of their class and that we might be making it easy for the special interest lobby groups to take advantage of us. Again!!! They "spread the wealth" from the middle class up to the rich who pay for their services.

How clever, BUT %u2026 Whose toys? His toys? He plans to STEAL toys from other kids and pick and choose who they should go to thus making himself KING of the playground! If he wants to fund all his govt growth plans personally e.g. his toys, God bless. More Robin Hood in action.

The desperate Rethugs are so hard at work trying to paint Obama as a socialist-communist-terrorist-elitist. Give it up. Your candidate and his dimit ignoraumus running mate are going down.

Tucker Bounds should have his mouth duct taped. He is obnoxious and full of it.

QUOTE: "Unprecedented lurch towards a Socialist Dictatorship."

This sort of assertion always makes me laugh. Try to have a sense of perspective!

In the Cuban revolution, they lined up many of the rich against the wall and shot them. The rest fled to Florida. Then the government took over all of their land and property. That''s socialist dictatorship.

Raising the top martginal tax rate by 3% to pay for perfectly reasonable energy, health care and economic stimulus policies is NOT socialist dictatorship. It is merely repealing the Bush tax cuts to the extremely wealthy, which amounted to a huge handout at taxpayer expense.

The only real redistribution of wealth going on is upward. The Bush administration gave the wealthy and big corporations massive tax breaks, loopholes, subsidies, no-bid contracts, and bailouts. That''s welfare for the rich. It''s about time we stopped handing the rich free money, and go back to having them pay a fairer share.

These greed-heads have wrecked our economy, ruined our standing as a nation, and possibly done irreparable harm to our planet. They should feel fortunate if all they get is a 3% tax hike.
