you know i think obama is just tricking the less intelligent people in the country. how can you give the government more money to miss manage,.. how can you raise the middle and lower class taxes as well? how can you raise the taxes for small and medium size businesses that have kept this economy alive during tough times.. when you tax companies they lose profit margins which means they lose the ability to pay their employees properly. he says he wants to tax the rich but the middle and lower classes taxes are going up by thousands. if you actually read his economic policy and what he has planned he is INSANE!!! and biden is a moron. obama a man who has sat in congress for 178 days of his 3 years in the senate. a man who's wife is a racist. who spewed racist thoughts in her princeton thesis. she is a nut. her whole focus is to help the black community.. not america. even a black reverend calls obama the anti christ. stating all he is doing is making excuses for the blacks in america. he stated look at the Mexicans in one generation they have their kids going to school and involved in family.. how can migrants have better success than true black Americans born here that have been here for 200 years. it's simple a sound family and education. hell the black community has worked hard in affirmative action to take jobs away from people who are more qualified just b/c of their color.. how is this acceptable.. my black friends don't even get it and it honestly offends them. they don't want a free ride.. but they full well admit many in their community expects it. now i don't think obama is the anit-christ but his policies are WHACK!!! again why give the government more money to miss manage and less for americans to spend to improve our economy? raising taxes has never once solved anything. doubling the capitol gains will only hurt our countries potential to grow. a modest hike in taxes for the lower-middle income families will hurt them. still i don't understand why one would punish the small businesses that have kept our economy going. i just don't understand that at all esp with the effects it would have listed above. effects that have been proven with democrats in the past. here in illinois we have a high school called New Trier in a wealthy area called winnetka. i couldn't go to this school though i live 5 mins from there.. but now they are busing less fortunate children from the south side of Chicago here. property tax for a 400square foot home is 20k minimum here. why should we be paying for there children to go to school.. my Dad for example grew up on the south side of Chicago poor and worked 2-3 jobs to put himself through school full time.. now he has made the American dream come true for himself.. he has worked 70-80 hours a week all his life. and sure he has money to show for it.. but b/c he busted his ASS!! now why can't these people do it from the same area. My grandfather was a terrible alcoholic then 30 years later he turned into an amazing human being. and was welcomed with open arms so much so when he passed i was never the same again. My father didn't know if there was gonna be food when he got home. he had to fight with 3 other brothers and a sis for food and his grandmother and parents. he made it. why can't these people make it!! i am sick of the excuses.. i have tons of black blue collared friends and again they don't understand it either.. it doesn't help their community to send their students an hour away every day to school i couldn't even go to. i thought the first time i heard obama he had some good points then as time went on he seemed much much more into the black community than AMERICA. i just hate people that make excuses and that is the obama way. oh you have been oppressed so lets hand it too you on a platinum platter and still watch you **** it up because they aren't teaching them hard work and good family values is what get's you places in life. not slackers that feel sorry for themselves.. ask most any upstanding African American with good values and they do not like where obama is coming from making excuses for their community.. and in respect going to destroy our economy by raising everyone's taxes for the government to mis manage. i know this is a sloppy rant.. but damn he and michelle obama are nuts.
Yes Obama's economic plan is pretty much butt backwards but his whole stance crumbles because it starts off as contradictory and anything which starts off as contradictory cannot stand. Obama (including his wife) and others praise himself in his rise from middle/low income class America to where he is (they are) today. Mrs. Obama holds the thought of her father working very hard to get her the education she had. It's a very fond memory of hers and makes her "proud". Yet they (and many other liberal democrats) hold to the notion that YOU and I cannot do the same thing. We MUST be in need of more government help. We are not able to pick ourselves up by our boot straps, because as Obama noted in his speech, we may not even have boots! If the Obamas could do it, without big government, how come others can't do it also without more government intervention? What of a daughter who's father and mother must work hard to get them into Harvard Law? Who are the Obama's to rob that daughter of being "proud" of her parents just as Mrs. Obama was? What about the parents who want to know that their hard work has paid off as their daughter graduates? So again, a world view which is contradictory cannot stand, it fails, it crumbles. Relativism and pluralism are self defeating and Obama bases his world view on both. "What's right or true for me may not be what's right or true for you" That's the mantra of liberals and relativists yet that very statement is self defeating, it's contradictory. I can disagree with the person making that statement and tell them they are wrong and by their own admission and belief in that statement they must agree with me. If they disagree and claim they are "right" then they have contradicted their own world view which holds that "What's right or true for me may not be what's right or true for you". Yet if they even agree with me, that I am "right" they have then stated that Truth is not relative but Absolute. One cannot hold to the view that "I am absolutely sure that there are no absolutes!". Obama is a tool and if people want to believe he brings "change" it will be for the worse, not better. I can't claim that McCain will bring that change either but at least his economic policy won't cause the stock market to get worse nor tax people to death. Everyone should vote but DO NOT vote based on "feelings" or who dresses nicer or who has Oprah's support but rather educate yourselves on what both candidates stand for and what they hold to be true, then make an informed choice.

Personally, this will probably be the first election since I turned 18 in which I won't vote. I mean, come on, IMO, our choices are between Tweedledee and Tweedledum/ dumb and Dumber.
Yeah, you are probably right; except that this time around it seems worse. Somebody please bring back Ron Paul and Kucinich.
Tell us how you really feel? All I know is we have had lower taxes, government spending far more than it takes in, the dollar in the ditch, borrow money from China to fund our debt, and the economy is still in the tank even without the gas price problems. It is not the liberals fault so find someone else to blame.
I was thinking of voting for Bob Barr, but I'm afraid that would in effect give a vote to McCain by not voting for Obama. I don't think our country could handle eight more years of what's been going on for the past 8 years. On the other hand, I really don't want to vote for Obama either, so it's a dilemma.
I think many Americans are in that same dilemma. No matter how hard I think about this one , I just can't seem to find a way to vote my conscience. They both suck, IMO. But back to Palin, what a babe!
