What the liberals are doing is digging up FACTS about Plain. They are doing the job McInsane should have done in the first place. She's running for VP, not cheer-leader. Let's not confuse FACTS with the FICTION that conservatives love to manufacture. In fact I feel the liberals are being waaaaaaaayyyy too nice. Bitch stands for family values? What a sad statement on right-wing family values. This "moral outrage" bullshit put out by McInsane is from the same operation that sunk the previous liberal candidate. The conservatives professed moral outrage when Kerry pointed out that Cheneys daughter was GAY. When in fact anti-gay legislation was a primary platform of the right-wing turds. Kerry should have hammered on Cheney Gay daughter. Many right-turd voters do not know Cheneys daughter is GAY. If they knew, many would not have shown up at the voting booth. Liberals should take a page off the conservative propaganda machine and begin ripping Palin a new one every hour. If she really were for "family values", she would be home with her retarded new-born (grand?) son. She should be helping prepare her teen-age daughter give birth to her bastard grand-son instead of playing politics. The average dumb voter does not have much rights, but at least give them the correct info.
Its a brilliant popularity contest that Obama is running : Tax breaks for everyone who makes less than 150K (including most of the left wing pikers on this board) while taxing the shit out of the other 5% who actually own and operate businesses (creating jobs, and signing paychecks) to pay for it. Hell thats a great deal for everyone who is too stupid to understand the implications on small business and the fact that jobs will be automated or eliminated to reduce costs in order to offset the increase in tax liability. Secondly, run on the premise that he is different from the unpopular guy we have right now. You dont really have to tell the sheeple how you are different, just say that you are. People are more interested in whether Lindsay Lohan is a lesbian or not than what Obama is actually going to change. Thirdly, blame the Iraq War, Woodstock and the hippie movement was cool, war is bad, its a popular message. No one on the left actually understands why we are in Iraq. The reason for the invasion was not so W could drive the price of gasoline to 4.00 and make his buddies rich, it was to refocus the muslim extremist away from the US mainland and reduce the probability of another attack on US soil. While they are so focused on removing the infidels from a muslim nation that they cant focus on attacking the US mainland. Not a single person who thinks this is stupid wouldve taken 1000 to 1 odds (because they were too low) that we would not have a single terrorist attack on US soil for 7 years on Sept. 12th, 2001. Yes, I understand that we created a battleground on top of innocent Iraqi civilians, but it was the only choice we had given that most conservative and liberal muslim leaders hated Sadam. It was the most likely location to get everyone in that region to agree to. Is it fair, no, but this is the way things work. The strong protect and survive and the weak die off (cant wait for the liberal revolutionary/revolt comments here.) Of course the French were pissed because they were getting illegal oil under the table from Saddam. Once we cut that off, their only recourse was to call us rude and uncultured cowboys and embarass the liberal left wing for being American. In summary: The Dems understand truly how stupid the American public is. The majority are more interested in Britany Spears and American Idol then understanding the political implications of electing Obama. If the Dems paint their general position as "the opposite of Bush" then people will not question the actual agenda and will vote for Obama with hopes of 90 cent gasoline and another rebate check to use as a down payment for 20' rims. Sure the Republicans are religious nut jobs with antiquated views on abortion,gay rights and other social issues, but at the end of the day all I want is to keep as much of my money as possible. Screw the lazy, screw the poor, and screw the guilty rich (Hollywood) who are lazy and would be poor if not for luck. No one who is REALLY in the business of trading can be a liberal. If you are, perhaps you should send a year end rebate to the counterparties of all your profitable trades. Perhaps they had a slower internet connection, or a sub standard education. Its not fair for you to take their money and you sould give it back.
Your whole post is perfect. There is a reason why the less educated , the less money you make and the less religous faith you have.....the more are a Democrat.
By wanting someone with an "education from the 80s", what you're saying is that no one older than their 40s has any "new knowledge or new thinking". LOL. Just thought I'd point out that this is a completely biased, stupid belief. If you made the same type of statement about blacks or women for example, you would set off outrage that would not end. For a guy who claims to be concerned about education, you evidently hold the belief that learning, and knowledge stop when you leave college. LOL. I don't doubt that with you, based on your post. But I'm here to inform you that there are those who continually expand their knowledge throughout their lifetime. The combined decades of learning and knowledge can help to lead to wisdom, something that your post appears to be lacking. By the way, taxes can get much higher. I recall a time when the maximum tax bracket was around 90%. The difference however was that there were deductions that one could use that would reduce his taxable income. Those basically don't exist today. So when someone like Obama promises you everything and the kitchen sink, just know that you will definitely pay for it. And those taxes that you pay may be considerably higher than you ever dreamed. Obama stands for serious redistribution of wealth. You need to reorient yourself regarding age. OldTrader
Chuck Norris: 'Puff, the Magic Obama!' "Last Thursday evening at the Democratic National Convention, presidential nominee Barack Obama tried to score a political touchdown on the 50-yard line at Denver's Invesco Field. Instead, he won the all-time governmental convention award for the best over-the-top political spectacle of sight, sound, speech and pyrotechnics -- complete with superstar performances, "Braveheart"-like epic music, and an Olympic-sized fireworks show. For a week prior to the event, newscasters, commentators and pundits were trying to guess what exactly that Greco-Roman column-structured stage backdrop was and what it was supposed to be representing and stating on behalf of Obama. Despite the fact that Obama's camp suggested that these Athenian columns were merely representative of the history of democracy, the entire visual felt more like a temple than a tenured politician's presidential platform. Even his podium looked more like a lectern or pulpit, rising and falling at will and out of sight beneath the stage. Is this the simple, substance-oriented, budget-cutting Obama we can expect if he's president? As I listened to Obama's speech, which mentioned "change" roughly 15 times, I thought, "I wonder how many of those 80,000 in attendance (and millions more watching on television) realize what type of change is really coming with Obama?" I'm not saying that change isn't needed. It is. I want changes in government, but not the type that will increase its role in our lives. I want changes with the goal to better adhere to the Constitution, but not the type that appoints liberal judges and justices who legislate from the bench. I want changes regarding America's relations with the rest of the world, but not the type that further compromises our national security. I want changes regarding America's role in the Middle East, but not the type that creates instability and gives al-Qaida the upper hand again. I want changes to our medical care, but I don't want more big government and billions of dollars in new taxes. I want changes regarding America's deficit, but not the type that increases it. I want changes at America's borders, but not the type that creates more holes for terrorists and other illegal transport. I desperately want changes in the tax code, but not ones that ultimately raise taxes. (Only a "fair tax" eliminates most.) But all those types of changes are exactly what Americans will experience if we elect Barack Obama to be president. Let there be no doubt about it: We will have change with Obama, but, America, I assure you that it is not the type of change we need or want. No way. No how. NObama. Now, more than ever, is the time to join the NObamaNation revolution. As with so many of you, I realized months ago that Obama can get away with just about anything because all that too many Americans seem to care about are charisma and the term "change." It doesn't matter if Obama plagiarizes speeches, who his pastor and spiritual mentor was for 20 years, that he has the most liberal voting record in the Senate, that he refused to wear the American flag as a pin, that he didn't place his hand over his heart during the national anthem, that his wife just recently has become proud of her country, or that he is sympathetic to Muslim terrorist groups, etc. Even a decade ago, most people never could have imagined appointing such a person to be county supervisor, let alone the president of the United States. So it seems those Greek pillars just may represent something after all, because in ancient Greece, people were more enamored by rhetoric and passionate presentations than by principled truths and pragmatic solutions. In modern America, these few millenniums later, nothing seems to have changed. I might not be the smartest man on the political block, but I know fluff when I see it (or is it Puff?). Obama conducted his version of a political David Copperfield magic show. Will Americans really not see beyond his illusory performance? America, we are being duped again by fluff and folly, glitz and glamour, and hype and Hollywood. It's time for America to wake up before it's too late! Reawakening our country and making necessary societal changes are the very reasons I've fully engaged in the culture wars with my new book (to be released Sept. 7), "Black Belt Patriotism," available for pre-order from Amazon.com. It is my battle plan for winning back America. But it's not just my plan; it's our Founders' plan, as I turn to them for their old solutions to our new problems. Bottom line: Obama's big-government solutions will cost us big money through increased taxes and increased national debt. In the third chapter of my book, "Stop America's Nightmare of Debt," I cite Thomas Jefferson, who gives some timely advice for such a prospective form of government: "What we need now more than ever is smaller government and lower taxes. Thomas Jefferson was particularly eloquent on the problem of government debt and taxes: 'To preserve (the) independence (of the people), we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses, and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account, but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers.' (A prophetic statement?)""
So you think Kerry lost because he didn't concentrate enough on cheney's lesbian daughter? OK, you're entitled to your opinion. I can only hope those in charge of Obama's campaign agree and continue to direct their lackeys in the media to attack Palin's family. They have done the impossible already, namely energize the conservative base and get them behind the McCain ticket. Nothing McCain could have said or done has helped as much as these disgraceful attacks. Make fun of McCain all you want, we might join in. Attack Our Girl and you've got a fight on your hands.
Yes. And, that's only half the story. The other half is that she's coming through it brilliantly, with millions of people agreeing that she's confident, eloquent, smart, not bitter because of those vile atacks, and, let's face it, great-looking. Americans like an underdog, but LOVE someone who's been unfairly attacked and then, against all odds, turned back, confronted her attackers and neutralized their poison with competence and charm.
Obama reads telprompter, great speeches, ragged on by Reps for just giving good speeches. Palin reads teleprompter, attempts to energize extreme evangelical base again, and it's pure genius. Dem busted for ties to crimes, reps beat to death, reps as in Alaska busted with ties, no big deal. At least try to see through a clean pair of biased glasses. This right or left with no common sense is just too much. Getting worse not better. c
